Diapering is a weird thing.
It's something everyone with a baby has to do. There is no plan B. And even when you consider how the diapering gets done, there aren't many options. But for the sake of this post's title, let's discuss your dollars.
Imagine a diaper in your hand—now imagine that 6,000 times (which is how many diapers, on average, a parent changes with one child). Now, let's say you spend a normal amount on diapers (about $.50/diaper). That's roughly $3,000 most families in 2026 literally throw away on store-bought disposable diapers during the diapering years.
The reality is you have to spend money on this. But it doesn't have to be a total waste.
The alternative to throwing money into an overwhelmed waste stream is choosing cloth diapers, which, more or less, puts that money into a washing machine.
When you spend your money with Do Good, you'll pay about the same amount ($3,000) and that'll get you through two years—with the convenience of having someone else wash dirty diapers and deliver clean ones every stinkin' week. And then, by that two year mark, many cloth-diapered kids are potty trained already (because of the cloth). And here's some math: If your kiddo is diaper free by 2, you'll be done buying diapers many months sooner, which could save you about $1,500 over the course of a few years. If a family invested that $1,500 into the market, with a 10% return, in 18 years that's $8,340.
Hot dang.
When you spend money with Do Good, the diapers you gotta use anyway, don't get tossed—they keep getting used. For years.
Plus, people have jobs, literal tons of garbage are kept out of landfills, and you help our little business do some good in the community.
If parents want to use disposables, we get it. You will not get shame from us. In fact, we sell Boo Bamboo disposable diapers on our site! But everyone knows reuse, reuse, reuse, is the way to go today, tomorrow, and forever.
And, when you do the math, for a variety of reasons, it makes sense.
