As concerned, caring parents we struggle with every decision we
make for our children. "What is the safest car seat?" "How old should
my baby be before I return to work?" "What kind of diaper would be best
for my baby?"
I am a mother of three and the inventor of Diaperaps. Back when my
eldest daughter (now 23) was in diapers, I was a dedicated cotton
diaper user. I believed then, as I do now, that nothing is more
comfortable next to baby's skin than natural, breathable cotton.
Shortly after my son Jonas was born in 1980, I was living in Hong Kong.
The humid weather, in combination with rubber pants, left my baby with
terrible diaper rash. It was then that I invented Diaperaps, a patented
diaper cover which allows air to circulate, yet is waterproof, easy to
use and which eliminates the need for diaper pins. It wasn't until 1984
that I was able to get my product manufactured and distributed to
parents like yourselves. The response was overwhelmingly positive. I
have since received "thank yous" from parents across the country,
including mothers of twins, triplets and quadruplets.
I have devoted my time and efforts to the Diaperaps diapering system
because I believe the diaper choice you make will have a lasting effect
on your baby and the future of our planet.
Children learn through imitation. They learn to speak because they hear
us speak. When they are young, they yearn to be just like their mommies
and daddies. We try to teach them our values and what is most important
to us. We hope they will grow up strong and caring.
A child spends their first two to three years in diapers. What will
they learn from their experience in these most impressionable years?
Disposable diapers are not only the greatest symbol of our throw-away
mentality, they also represent an enormous waste of resources. It takes over 7000 disposable diapers to do the same job as 80 cotton diapers. A disposable diaper is used for 2 hours--a cotton diaper is used for more than three years.
The beauty of the diapering choice before you is that you can make a
difference. You can make a difference in how much you consume and what
example you set for your children. You can teach them, from their first
day, the value of caring for the earth and dealing with waste in a
responsible way. And, best of all, you can choose a diapering system
which gives it all to you.
I have worked for many years perfecting these products. I hope my work will make your decision easier.
Thank you very much.
