5 Harmful Effects Of Disposable Diapers And Training Pants
Posted Wednesday, April 18, 2012
From Anthony and Steph of SuperSkivvies.
Because our company is an eco-friendly and sustainable company we feel that it is necessary to help people make an educated decision when it comes to choosing which products to use for their children. This is for the benefit of you and your child, as well as the environment.
It still amazes us how many people out there give no thought or regard to how the products they use are destroying the very Earth we all call home, even after being educated and shown the truth about harmful products. Unfortunately, a lot of people want to sweep these problems under the rug and forget about them. However, I think we can all agree that we need Earth in order to survive and give future generations the basic necessities of clean air, clean water, and healthy food. Simple right?
Take a look at some of the information we found about disposable diapers and training pants:
This is obviously not an exhaustive list of harmful effects. Ultimately, the choice is yours.

Take a look at some of the information we found about disposable diapers and training pants:
- 18 billion disposable diapers end up in landfills every year in the U.S. alone, adding 5 million tons of untreated human waste to the soil. And did you know that it is illegal to put human fecal matter in your household garbage? The American Public Health Association and American Academy of Pediatrics have advised parents that “fecal material and urine should not be allowed to be co-mingled and disposed of as regular trash. This contaminates ground water and spreads disease.” Yes, you must remove all of the fecal matter from disposables before you throw them out. (Click here for information on disposing of disposable diapers)
- Sodium polyacrylate is a chemical that makes disposable diapers so absorbent that it can absorb up to 100 times its weight in water. However, it can stick to children’s genitals and cause allergic reactions. In the U.S., this chemical was removed from tampons in 1985 when it was linked to toxic shock syndrome. And when this chemical was tested and injected into rats, it caused hemorrhaging, cardiovascular failure, and ultimately death.
- 500 years! This is how long it can take each disposable diaper and training pant to decompose in a landfill. That means that every disposable diaper and training pant ever used in the world is still decomposing in a landfill somewhere. And almost 30 percent of each disposable diaper and training pant consists of non biodegradable products such as absorbent vinyl layers, Velcro, absorbent gelling material, and plastic packaging that will never break down.
- Dioxin is a by product of the paper bleaching process used in the manufacturing of disposable diapers and training pants. It is the most toxic of all the cancer causing chemicals and causes birth defects as well as liver disease in laboratory animals.
- As many as 100 viruses can survive in soiled disposable diapers or training pants for months. This includes the live polio virus and hepatitis excreted by recently vaccinated babies. These viruses constitute a potential hazard to sanitation workers and garbage handlers. No to mention the critters that will crawl into the landfill to find a meal and the birds that will pick through this garbage and fly to who knows where.
This is obviously not an exhaustive list of harmful effects. Ultimately, the choice is yours.

We live in a college town. And for the last couple of years we've tried to go to one football game a year. This year, my husband decided to purchase a pack of tickets so he could take each of the children on a daddy kid outing to a football game. Our team had a TERRIBLE record, of the four games he took them too, three lost, and the fourth game they were so convinced they were going to lose that they left (halftime score 27-0) only to have them win the game in the last quarter - who does that? Thankfully for our kids, cotton candy and popcorn or a pretzel go a very, very long way and tipped the scale for each of them, so they were anything but disappointed.
Everyone has their favorite team -- high school, college, pro -- and who doesn't love showing their support by wearing their teams colors. Lots of our EtsyKids Team members recognize the need to adorn a little team spirit in and out of the stands. Here are just a few of the sellers who specialize in team pride accessories. Many accept custom requests so you can create just the right color combination for your special team.

Here is just a small collection of items from our USA members that are highlighted this week. Check out this weeks thread for more great links, or to contribute your own.

HAPPY SATURDAY - HERE'S A TUTE
Posted Sunday, June 27, 2010
I've been sewing for almost 20 years now...sigh - I still remember when I first started...the sewing patterns read like stereo instructions - good grief!
Along the way I've learned a few shortcuts and tips and one of my favs is this method of sewing a pair of pants - and it works for any length or style of elastic waist pants or shorts. See the tutorial HERE.
Smooches!

Featured Shop : Scandeez
Posted Thursday, November 05, 2009
Christmas is coming and I am starting to worry about the Christmas shopping list that is bare, well, empty really. Half way through the year I did well and bought a lot for my daughter but I still have my son, and the rest of the family to buy for. Starting to panic, life is hectic without adding Christmas shopping to the mix!
So with a Christmas list in mind I set out to find a super cute Christmas item to feature today and I couldn't go past the leather infant shoes from Scandeez.
So modern and beautiful without being over the top.
Scandeez of course has other items available that are for everyday wear, but to dress baby for Santa's first visit the below outfit is perfect.
The one thing that I loved about Scandeez shop is the effort that Connie has put into her profile
After reading it you really have an insight to the person behind the store which is lovely when shopping online.
Enjoy!
Featured Shop: Planet Pudge
Posted Thursday, October 15, 2009
Today I thought whatever the first listing that comes up under an 'etsykids' search is the lucky person that will be the featured shop this week and I must say I am delighted to find planet pudge as that listing.
Planet Pudge is an out-of-this-world planet filled with hand-embroidered tees & hoodies guaranteed to be the holiday gift that keeps on getting compliments and the tee your little one refuses to take off.
The result of an over-caffeinated, creative-deprived mom in search of fun, unique, modern clothes for her two little girls. Sick of the same old mass-produced stuff, she started fanatically drawing, cutting, obsessing over fabrics and hand-stitching everything (much to the dismay of her calloused middle finger). Many "where did you get that"'s later, Planet Pudge was born. A bouncing baby brand that offers a wide array of colorful American Apparel tees, tanks and hoodies both great (up to size 12) and small. Every Planet Pudge creation is one-of-a-kind, just like your mommy-worshiping, caterpillar-smooshing, homework-defying kid.
Shipping is available with all items shipping within one week.
I just love it all and might have to start christmas shopping right here!
So adorable...enjoy!

I love etsy shops that carry something for both sexes, having a boy and a girl myself it is great to be able to purchase from one shop, saving on postage costs! The lady behind Boutique Lucky Stars, based in Sarasota, has the great job of being a full time mommy: loving, hugging, comforting, cheering, guiding, laughing, dancing, chasing, fixing, organizing, cooking, cleaning, laundry, cooking, cleaning, laundry, cooking, cleaning, and laundry. In between all the fun, she creates items for mamas-to-be, babies and toddlers of both sexes.
Inspired by fresh, modern fabrics you will find T Shirts, Bodysuits and nappy covers among the divine collection that also features free shipping within the USA (please contact the store for international shipping).
