Disposable diapers are already known to be harmful to the environment. Young children go through many diapers in a day and over a period of years, there are tons of disposable diapers in our landfills. Not only that, society's need for ultra white paper products means that manufacturers have to use bleaching processes to produce the whitest diapers possible. There is a choice, though, and parents now have a friendlier option.

Chlorine-free diapers have hit the markets. Manufacturers of chlorine-free diapers use a different process to get their product white, which means less toxins in our landfills. Not only that, chlorine-free diapers are friendlier to babies' bottoms and cause less diaper rash.

Chlorine is a chemical that irritates the skin. Used in bleaching processes for diapers, the toxic material can increase the possibility of diaper rash in infants. Once disposed, the product leaches into the environment. Chlorine-free diapers offer an option that reduces both these problems associated with other types of diapers.

The dioxins in certain diapers have been linked to different health issues, such as cancer, immune system problems, and liver damage. This is important because the skin is a two way organ, not only releasing toxins but able to absorb them also. Diapers containing chlorine, therefore, can be a means of overloading a baby's system with toxins. Opting for chlorine-free diapers can help in the prevention of these health concerns. Considering the growth rate and ease of toxin absorption of young children, isn't making a smarter, health-conscious choice the best way to go?

Parents could certainly switch to cloth diapers, the best choice of diapering possible. Cloth diapers can be messy and a lot of work for already-busy parents. Choosing chlorine-free diapers is safer for newborns and toddlers and is friendlier to the world they'll inherit later on. Chlorine-free diapers are on store shelves and are available for purchase on the internet. Swaddle your baby in something safer that protects both its skin and the environment.
