A frequently heard reason for using reusable diapers is 'sustainability'. But what exactly is sustainability? And is one diaper actually more sustainable than the other diaper?

A few months ago we received an email from Johan. Johan lives in Sweden and asked us for advice on trying reusable diapers for adults. We sent an email back, discussed his wishes and helped him try a few things out. Johan found the perfect diaper for him and offered us an interview to break the taboo surrounding incontinence and adult diapers. We gladly accepted this offer.

'Our products are made in Europe, so you can be sure that your diapers were not made by the hands of children.' A frequently heard statement in the reusable diaper industry, which we find quite daring. To blindly assume that there is no child labor in your chain (within the vulnerable textile sector) is to bury your head in the sand. Out of ignorance or fear.

The big advantage of reusable cloth diapers over disposable diapers is that you can use them several times. That you can wash them, dry them and simply put them back on. But even a reusable diaper does not last forever. How long your diapers last depends on several factors.
