Disposable diaper Benefits.

Disposable diapers are one time use. Which means no washing of the diapers. When they're used you just roll them up and toss them in the garbage.

You don't need a diaper pail for them.

Disposable diaper Drawbacks.

They cost a lot if you use them all the time. Expect to spend $100.00 or more per month on diapers for your baby depending on what brand you buy.

They contain chemicals. Most of the major diaper brands contain chemicals that can burn your babies skin.

They take up space in the landfill and can take 500 or more years to decompose.
