On this long, rambling journey exploring the surprisingly controversial topic of diapers, what have we learned so far?
- There are lots of kinds of diapers.
- Poll results showed more of you using disposable diapers than cloth diapers.
- It's not clear cut what kind of diapers are best for the environment, but you can make the best out of any kind you choose.
- Some people say cloth diapers aren't so inconvenient after all.
- Like a car, a cloth diaper's resale value will depend on who makes it. (And you don't want either one to leak.)
- Prefolds don't look like they're folded - but they actually are.
- The Amish don't worry about whether cloth or disposable is better.
- Skipping diapers altogether is actually an option. (It's commonly known as Elimination Communication or EC.)
- Some other people say ECing is even easier than dealing with diapers.
- Just when you think you have it all figured out, somebody says, "hey, what about diapers you can flush?!!"
