Toilet training part II

I too an concerned about the environmental impact but far more mums are working than when my children were little and they, and the nurseries they use, don't have the time or facilities to deal with Terry nappies.
Let's also remember that many older ladies have to wear pads and disposable are far more convenient, comfortable and discreet than the alternatives

Well said eddiecat78.
My children had terry nappies, (thank heavens for nappy liners), buckets of nappisan and endless nappies drying round the fire in winter, but I was at home to deal with them.
We used them again for a while when DH took over the childminding of our DGC, but the convenience of disposables won in the end, not to mention the saving in water and fuel for heating to wash the things.
Your point about disposable pads for periods or bladder issues is something else to consider. For every person who uses fabric strips and rewashes them there are hundreds who would find that unacceptable and difficult to deal with at work.

Our daughter was dry day and night by her second birthday.
I used Terry nappies as disposable were not very good in the 80’s and beyond our budget!
Far more incentive to toilet train when you’ve got a nappy bucket in the bathroom.

Get your babies out of nappies folk !!
I see children of 2 and 3 walking around in these things hanging from their bums full of goodness knows what and 3/4 year olds trying to talk with dummies stuck in their mouths
What’s it all about ?

Yes.
I imagine mountains of them taking over the earth.
They should go into clinical waste bags to be incinerated but thst in itself could cause pollution problems.

Every minute more than 300,000 disposable nappies (or diapers) around the world are incinerated, sent to landfill or pollute the environment. They are one of the biggest contributors to plastic waste globally.

Hate them but young parents want to use them
They should be banned
