Cloth diapers or Disposable diapers?

We are always confused about what we going to use, is it cloth diapers that can be reused, or a disposable diaper. If you already have children may feel this dilemma. A child can use the 6000 to 8000 and even disposable diapers. Imagine the money that must be spent to buy diapers as much as it is finally disposed of, and cause problems.

Therefore, we must know the advantages and disadvantages of each.

3. The cost is high. A little bit too long into the hills. It does not buy much but if you continuously for several years, your family can actually use the money for other needs
4. Uses a lot of chemicals, plastics, wood
5. Health Risk! There is evidence from research for the correlation between disposable diapers and male fertility. If your baby wearing a disposable diaper, the diaper will raise your child and testicular temperature can reduce sperm production. (Research is still continuing for other evidence)
