Do you have a bathroom? Hand-wash your diapers and dry them in your room (or on your balcony) if you have one. I've done this in LV and Hawaii, and it was fine (not as horrifying as it sounds). Use disposable diapers if you want, but don't say it's because you 'had' to!<br /><br />susie ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-37510916621049228122010-06-11T13:57:19.014-04:002010-06-11T13:57:19.014-04:00Ann,

Perhaps you are confused, because this whole article talks about spreading the benefits of cloth diapering in general, specifically promoting the launch of their rebranding.<br />Part of the problem out there is the "all or nothing" approach to being green. Maybe someone who only used "regular" disposables isn't willing to switch to cloth completely, but isn't finding a less harmful solution better than continuing to fill landfills and cover babies with harmful plastic and chemicals?<br />I am a firm believer that any step in the right direction is a good one... Kudos to you for your strong commitment to full time CDing, but let's also support those making good choices on a smaller scale as well!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492958505968378154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-17700816226697771132010-06-08T14:26:24.483-04:002010-06-08T14:26:24.483-04:00No, it's not possible to cloth diaper if you&#...No, it's not possible to cloth diaper if you're on an extended trip and staying in a hotel. With a laundromat, you'd have to run a couple of loads with a CD friendly detergent with nothing but rags or towels inside, just to get rid of the residue from the 'bad' detergents. I wouldn't have towels or rags to use, so I'd be SOL. That would also mean carrying a lot of detergent with us, which also wouldn't be realistic. <br /><br />We have to go on a month long trip overseas in August, and we'd be staying in a hotel, so I plan on buying the GroVia system with biosoakers to use because hell, they're better than disposables. To each their own, I guess. <br /><br />I look at events like this, and realize that they're obviously attractive to people outside of Los Angeles who aren't locals. To attract celebrities and introduce them to a product, all you have to do is give out coupons and information at places like the Hollywood, Santa Monica and Studio City farmer's markets because tons of actors, musicians and other celebrities go there every single week. <br /><br />They want to help the environment, too, and don't mind paying. Giving someone something for free doesn't guarantee that they'll use it!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13142679165166800847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-53008352423536331002010-06-07T16:11:23.955-04:002010-06-07T16:11:23.955-04:00Ooh!

From the GDiapers, "bio degradable", hybrid, and the like. I found that if I am truly going to take a stand for the environment and the health of my baby, full time cloth diapers is the only solution. I love the full cloth version of GroVia, it looks like a great diaper. So why promote the disposable version? I am so confused! <br /><br />More and more often if you educate your daycare provider about the "modern" cloth diaper they are more willing to work with you.<br /><br />And for those who will use the "I'm traveling and can't wash the diapers" reason for using the disposable version, I get that and think that if you are truly not going to be able to wash then it's a nice solution. But...for the record my family just took a trip to see relatives for an extended weekend. It was a long drive and we did our wash before we left for home and happily clothed it the whole way! And, I am planning another trip where we will be in hotels for a week or more and will be talking to the concierge about laundry locations and other solutions. I know it's possible to travel and cloth diaper!!<br /><br />I love my beautiful baby in his FuzziBunz!Annnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-19443109301800293392010-06-07T11:20:23.813-04:002010-06-07T11:20:23.813-04:00They sounded like fun events.
