Green Diaper Alternatives
If you are trying to find a green diaper solution consider chlorine free diapers or even biodegradable diapers. You can also try cloth diapers and even get them delivered to your front door. There is nothing wrong if you are simply looking for the least expensive diapers on the shelves (it will be our little secret!). What ever option you go with – enjoy the convenience of ordering them online. This cute pair is from Bummis.
Chlorine Free Diapers
If you don’t want to mess with cloth diapers, or you want to supplement cloth diapers with something a little more eco-friendly than regular disposables, you will be happy to know that there are a number of alternatives on the market. Popular brands include Seventh Generation and gDiapers. You may want to try a package of each to start to see which works best for your child.
Biodegradable Diapers & Diaper Composting
If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area you are in luck. There are diaper services providing delivery, pickup and composting of completely biodegradable diapers, wipes and pull-up style training pants.
There is a reason for the word “genius” in bumGenius – just check out all of the special features of their cloth diapers. They are award winning, affordable and best of all they come in a great selection of really cute colors.
Cloth Diapers
Many of my friends used nothing but cloth diapers and swear by them. I love all of the cute colors and patterns available.

Swim Diapers
Huggies and Pampers both make disposable swim diapers. Some athletic clubs, country clubs and public pools will also require your child to wear a fitted reusable swim diaper that looks like a cute little Speedo.

Cloth Diaper Services
Some moms are convinced that cloth diapers are best solution for their babies and for the environment. If you are one of those moms, sign up for a diaper service before your baby arrives. There is no reason to wash those dirty diapers in your own washing machine. A diaper service will pick up the soiled diapers and make sure you always have plenty of clean ones on hand. You can learn more at the National Association of Diaper Services.

Diaper Bags
I will admit to owning six diaper bags (much to my husband’s bewilderment). My excuse is that most of them were gifts. I love them all and have used each and every one of them. Just like a purse, you don’t always feel like using the same one week after week. I like bigger bags for longer trips, my Petunia Pickle Bottom bags when I want something that is really cute, and my Kate Spade bags for something chic and clean. I also had to find a bag that my husband would be willing to tote around. I hope you can find at least one, if not more options that fit the bill for you.
