Reusable Diapers In Malaysia – Less Plastic Is Better

Babies are mostly loved by all because they are cute and adorable. But how much do we understand about their comfort. They can’t speak out their
feelings but can only smile or cry out their emotions.

Diapers play an important role in their lives. In the past, people used to use cloth reusable diapers but they play a lesser role now with many cheap disposable diapers available in the Malaysian the market.

Plastic disposable diapers are easy to use with very less hassle or not at all. They can be easy to put on and easy to throw off.

On the other hand, fabric diapers needs to be washed after every use. They are not as easy to put on as the disposable ones. Once they are wet,
they need to be replaced immediately. But with the disposable ones, immediate changing can be avoided.

But the drawback of diapers is that babies may tend to get rashes on their delicate skin if wet diapers are not changed for a longer period of time. But with caring and responsible parents, this can be avoided.

Considering the cost, with so many sale and discount from Malaysian hypermarkets, disposable diapers seem to be very cheap. Unfortunately, that is far from the truth.

Do you know how many disposable diapers your baby goes through in a month?

If you were to add it all up, the cost for buying new diapers can be quite substantial. Another drawback of disposable diapers is on the environment. Every Saturday, Malaysia has “No Plastic Bag Day” where many supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenient stores etc do not give out any plastic carrying bag to their customers. The idea is to try reducing the number of plastic bag we thrown away.

Disposing of plastic diapers do increase the total garbage we dump every day. That is way using cloth diapers is cheaper on the long run and does less harm to the environment.
