The day comes for every parent when they child reaches the age of 2 and they decide to potty train and they look back and realize HOW MUCH MONEY they have spent on diapers. For some paresnts, this may come as a shock, while others realize the great expense of diapering a child from birth to th age of potty training. There is a great cost involved regardless of whether you decide to use disposable diapers or cloth diapers. Each diapering system has their own set of costs.

Since diapering is an essential part of the well-being of a child and an ongoing expenditure, you need to plan which diapering system makes the most sense for you, your child, and your budget. Considering we are in a pandemic, you will likely have to shop for diapers online. If you plan efficiently in the smartest way possible, you will save money and get the biggest bang for your buck.

Below is our top tips that will let you have ample time to get what you need, in the most economical way possible.

1. Figure Out What Type of Diaper You Need

The debatable issues here are about whether to buy a cloth diaper or disposable diapers all depends on your budget and your family. While there are pros and cons to each diapering system, you may find one is easier to use for one child, and not work at all for another child. Which type of diapers also depends on how many kids you have. CLoth diapering may have been feasible when you only had 2 kids, but if you have 5 or more, you may not have time for that extra load of laundry every day on top of washing clothes for your family of 7!

The biggest reason why people choose cloth diapers over disposables is usually because they are reusable and environmentally friendly. When you choose to buy a reusable item, the stressful bit lies in washing and drying inconveniences. They are also a much bigger initial investment.

On the other hand, when you think of a disposable diaper, they can be somewhat expensive depending on the brand but offer the required convenience, which is wonderful and can allow you more time to tend to other responsibilities. There will be situations when cloth diapers will do fine depending on the occasion and other occasions where disposable would perfectly serve the purpose like when traveling.

It really comes down to your own personal preference, budget, and which fits your particular baby better. If you have a heavy wetter, you can combine both types of diapering in such a way where you make use of cloth diapers in the day and disposable diapers for the night.

2. Do Not Over Buy

Regardless of which type of diapers you choose, you’ll need to stock up on enough diapers to ensure you won’t have to suddenly drop everything and run to the store when you realize you only have 2 diapers left in your house.

There are sales seasons for both types of diapers when it’s the most advantageous to be buying diapers online. However, please don’t overdo it and end up with way more than you need. This is especially true with cloth diapers.

For one, your child might grow faster than normal and some of the cloth diapers purchased might turn out to be useless. This is especially true with newborn diapers. While the cloth diaper market is always hot and you can easily turn around and sell used cloth diapers for nearly as much as you paid for them, you don’t need the extra work. If you are worried about your child outgrowing their diapers, go for adjustable Charlie Banana cloth diapers as they can get bigger and bigger with your child.

3. Buy A Sample Before Buying A Whole Package

There are different types of diapers online, with some made from VEOCEL baby wipes material and much more. When you are buying diapers online, you will realize that quality varies, and so every parent should be careful when differentiating the brands. If you can, borrow a diaper or two from a friend before buying a while box so you can try the different brands without committing to a jumbo pack of 225 diapers. While you will see significant savings, the bigger quantity you purchase, you also don’t want to be stuck with half a box of unused disposable diapers you can’t use because your little bundle of joy got too plump for them. This is one reason to go for cloth diapers because most of them are adjustable and much more size forgiving than disposables.

4. Take Advantage of Offers

It is vital to take advantage of buying diapers online because you can take advantage of coupons and offers that are guaranteed savings. Your purchases can always be smooth and relatively cheaper when you are buying diapers online. Keep your eyes peeled for coupons and promos from big stores like Walmart and Target. When you want cloth diapers, you can save big on Black Friday and Cyber Monday as most cloth diapers brands and stores like

Overall, seek to check the way diapers are made. Many brands like Sweet Pea are making eco-friendly disposable diapers so you can get the convenience of disposables without worrying about the effect on the planet.
