Cloth Diapers & Natural Baby Care 

The cloth diaper – the ecological, economical and health-beneficial alternative to conventional disposable diapers.

Cloth diapers have long since ceased to be complicated, boring or time-consuming. Quite the opposite: many are identical to disposable diapers in terms of handling. In contrast, after use they simply end up in the washing machine instead of producing more waste.

The topics of sustainability and health care are the Zeitgeist of our generation. Diapering with cloth diapers offers numerous advantages for your baby’s health, not only contributes to environmental protection, but also eases the burden on your wallet.
