Applecheeks cloth diapering system brings you the ultimate in form and function, combining effective leak control with attractive styling.

Clearly, the environmental benefit of reusable diaper systems is significant. However, the financial savings is equally as impressive. From the moment she is born until 30 months of age, your baby will go through approximately 5400 throwaway diapers. This can cost you anywhere from $1500 - $2500. By choosing to cloth diaper your child, you can spend as little as $519 plus taxes, for the entire diapering experience. Not only does this represent significant savings for one child, but the same cloth diapers could last through two and even three children.

The fabric used in AppleCheeks is breathable, super soft, waterproof and super stretchy to contain even the messiest blow-outs. You can choose from bamboo/organic cotton or hemp/cotton inserts based on your preference. Natural fibers allow air to circulate around your child’s bottom.

With a beautiful selection of colours to choose from, you can customize your cloth diaper wardrobe and save up to $100. Also makes a great shower gift for the discerning mom on your list! Free full-size Diaper Cream with every Starter Kit.

Click here to read about Chemicals in Disposable Diapers

One study reports that only 7% of cloth diapered babies experience diaper rash compared with 78% of disposable diapered babies. This is because disposable diapers use chemicals to help absorb wetness. Because of these chemicals, it often becomes difficult to tell when your baby needs to be changed resulting in fewer diaper changes - leaving your babe sitting in a damp chemical stew.

Disposable diapers contain traces of Dioxin (an extremely toxic & carcinogenic by-product of the paper-bleaching process). It is a carcinogenic chemical, listed by the EPA as the most toxic of all cancer-linked chemicals. It is banned in most countries, but not the U.S. or Canada.

Disposable diapers contain Tributyl-tin (TBT) - a toxic pollutant known to cause hormonal problems in humans and animals.

Disposable diapers contain sodium polyacrylate, a type of super absorbent polymer (SAP), which becomes a gel-like substance when wet. A similar substance had been used in super-absorbency tampons until the early 1980s when it was revealed that the material increased the risk of toxic shock syndrome.
