Chlorine is a harsh chemical. Used as a disinfectant to kill bacteria, the toxic product can be found in many paper products, including diapers for infants and toddlers. In addition, chlorine provides that ultra-white color for most paper products, as unbleached paper tends to be brownish. Many parents are looking for alternatives to harsh chemicals and want to provide gentler options to their baby for the best care possible. Chlorine-free diapers answer that demand.

Chlorine-free diapers are less harmful to the environment, as well as being kinder to sensitive newborn skin. Bleaching paper products to a "whiter than white" shade allows chlorine derivatives to leach into the ground and water. The dioxins produced have been linked to cancer, not only in wildlife but in humans as well. Chlorine-free diapers mean that you're swaddling your newborn in a product that isn't harmful to the child's health either now or in the future.

Since most people today prefer bright whites over brownish shades of paper products, chlorine-free diapers use more friendly methods to produce the clean white parents look for. There are no horrible chlorine derivatives left in landfills to create toxic pollution and babies aren't exposed to chlorine by having the chemical laid directly against their skin. Chlorine-free diapers provide us with a safer alternative to the 'old' disposable diapers.

Chlorine-free diapers may also provide benefits for rash-free bottoms. The fewer harsh products and irritants against a baby's skin, the less chance a newborn or toddler will suffer ill effects or diaper rash. Chlorine-free diapers are just as absorbent as other diapers on the market and while they may cost a little more, chlorine-free diapers are a safer, kinder alternative for a "green" life and your child's health.

When making your choice of products you use to care for your child, choose chlorine-free materials that offer the best for your baby. In a world where increasingly children are being diagnosed with cancers and other serious illnesses, you are minimizing the risk of the effects of chemical exposures.
