I've known lots of less radical greenies over the years who criticized disposables, claiming cloth diapers are the only environmentally correct method. Every one caved in and started using disposable after actually becoming a parent.

In China they do it with split-pants. It actually seems to work pretty well.

i think everybody does... if you have a kid/kids.

Comes with the job. It's why we get gray hair (or no hair in my case).

In my town several diaper services opened up in the 80's. They're all gone now. Even most greens draw the line at throwing poopy diapers in a bucket to be picked up once a week. I hate to think what my wife and I would have done without Pampers.

Oh, it's laugh, definitely LOL.

Natural Infant Hygiene

Anyone who's watched and attempted to intercept a toddler running full force toward a toilet or plunging their chubby little arms into said toilet knows all about that 'hygiene'. And those who've had the good fortune to have a diaper leak or seep through the toddler's diaper and clothing and onto your own clothing also has a special appreciation for this 'hygiene'. Yep, some stains don't ever wash out...

Hygiene, lol. If you like wallowing in urine and feces, like a cat in a litterbox.

LOL. My brother's triplet daughters turn 15 this summer. Poor guy- drowning in estrogen and training bras! I was lucky- I got the boys.

When my oldest was a baby we went to a picnic. On arrival in the parking lot I changed her diaper in the back seat. As soon as the diaper came off, she let loose with a number two on my sweater. It's become one of those family stories.

All those little darlin's need is the tiniest opportunity.

My sister-in-law lives in one of the most left-wing communities along the west coast. She and her husband have decided to go diaperless with their baby. My wife visted them a few weeks ago and it is a real show to see this baby whizz and poop in a pot. Sister-in-law makes a whizzing noise, she hold the babe between her legs and Junior tinkles in the pot. She flips him around and he goes #2. My wife says that sister-in-law diapers the little guy when she goes to the local tofu-coop. Bizarre.

The green movement already has declared war on the modern flush toilet, declaring it an "environmental disaster," and has instead pushed waterless "dry" toilets as an earth-friendly solution.

LOL. Do they mean one of these instead? Ever smelled one?

Meanwhile, places like Thailand, hosting a World Toilet Summet, are rushing to solve the hygiene problem.

A little prayer and a little thorazine should get him through the next few years.

Diaperless babies.

Plastic diapers filling the garbage dumps.

Too much washing of cloth diapers.

I am starting to understand now why Hippies' stink so damn much.

What the heck is a "dry toilet"?

A coffee can.

As a parent of a one-year old son, my hat is off to the inventor of the Diaper Genie. This device makes things so much more convenient and pleasant.

-Infants give recognizable signs of imminent peeing and pooping; it's possible to learn your infant's signs; infant pee isn't frightening; and if you train your kid to ignore their outputs, you'll just have to go back and retrain them when traditional potty-training time arrives," Fisk explained.-

Don't know about other places, but Russian moms have been doing this for years because they can't afford diapers. Babies are fully potty trained in no time. In conclusion, if you live out in the woods with a dry toilet, I guess this kind of thing might just work out for you...

it's the women who change a baby's diaper RIGHT THERE in a restaurant who get me. And then they get naasty if you say anything to them. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Or how about the mother who plopped her baby down in the aisle of the theater we were at, right in the middle of the movie, and changed the dirty diaper. The twit didn't even consider how unclean the floor was, let alone what she subjected the movie patrons to. And she couldn't have seen well enough to really clean up the baby.

She apparently couldn't bring herself to miss any of the movie by taking the baby into the changing area in the restroom. I personally never took little babies to a movie theater, not sure why anybody would do so in the first place.
