Cost of Cloth vs. Disposable Diapering
Look for the GREEN feature bubbles throughout the site, which will highlight your savings!!
On this page we will outline for you the approximate cost of cloth diapering using the One-size Ai2 Diaper System and the iCandy Diaper System vs. the average cost of using disposable diapers. We have factored in additional needs for each diapering system, such as wipes, doublers, Diaper Genie re-fills, etc. Please note the cost of energy and detergent will vary according to where you live and the cost of disposable diapers and wipes varies according to brand.
If you are shocked by the difference in the price of cloth diapering vs. disposable diapering for one child, consider that the cost of diapering subsequent children is only the cost of energy used for washing, drying, and detergent. Your cloth diapers can be re-used! Take for example, our most expensive diapers, the iCandy Diapering System, the cost of diapering two children would be approximately $. The cost of disposables would be approximately $6,939.84! Now the savings are really adding up!
