Cloth Diaper Malaysia – Natural & Eco-Friendly Living, Why Not!?

You Cloth Diaper your baby.

You also use Cloth Pads.

Anything else to complete the “CLOTH” package?

What about trying CLOTH WIPES?

I bet we have used these disposable baby wet wipes at least once during our baby caring days:

They’re indispensable and very useful during diaper changes. It is a must have for any baby changing table. (Unless you’re one of the moms who wash their baby’s bum “au naturel” – which is at the sink itself! ) It’s convenient and spares you the time to go to the bathroom and back if your baby needs cleaning after he “dirties” himself. Also, if your baby needs some quick clean ups after a meal, breastfeeding, spills, messes, etc – they’re handy to use too.

But the thing is, the disadvantages of disposable wet wipes are:

• Disposable – More waste in our landfills!
• Chemical laden – The fragrances, drying agents, alcohol might not be the best for your baby’s delicate skin!
• Costs money! – Like other disposable products, you are unnecessarily paying for the added convenience.

So how about converting to a more natural, economical and greener option?

Yes, ditch those disposable baby wet wipes and convert to Cloth Wipes!!

Why should you use Cloth Wipes?

• As versatile as baby wipes: Use them for anything! Diaper changes, wiping face and body, cleaning spills & messes, etc.
• Much funner and cuter: Compared to the boring, white and rough disposable wet wipes. (Ok, this might be a “mengada” reason, but still) It will make diaper changes more enjoyable!
• More natural and softer on baby’s delicate skin: You don’t expose baby to chemicals.
• Saves money: Save up RM10-20 per each time you don’t buy baby wet wipes in the supermarket.
• Easy to wash: Simply toss your used Cloth Wipes in the washing machine (along with Cloth Diapers, etc).
• Many fabrics to choose from: Many different types of cloth wipes are on sale  – flannel, terry, bamboo or cotton. Or simply purchase baby washcloths/face towels to use as cloth wipes.
• You can make your own! Recycle old baby blankets or towels, cut them up and use them as Cloth Wipes!

Cloth Wipes can simply be used with water, or you can use homemade recipes for Cloth Wipes solutions. (I’ll post up my favourites soon).

What you need to use the Cloth Wipe system:

• Container to store your Cloth Wipes
• Spray bottles for Cloth Wipe solution/water
• Thermos and bowl if you prefer to simply use warm water

I’ll write up about Cloth Wipe solution recipes and how to use Cloth Wipes in my later blog posts. What are you waiting for, cloth wipes is the next thing to do! Or, if you have yet Cloth Diaper or use Cloth Pads, using Cloth Wipes can be a simple first step towards your journey to using CLOTH!
