NID Bamboo Baby Diapers M
Saving the Earth, one diaper at a time.
NID Bamboo diapers are incredibly absorbent, plant-based diapers made of bamboo, and are also better for the environment than many alternatives.
A prime benefit of bamboo diapers is that they're biodegradable, meaning they will break down and be reabsorbed by the Earth in a relatively short period of time.
NID diapers degrade by more than half just 2-3 months after disposal, as long as the conditions are right. Most other diapers take around 500 years to decompose.
Bamboo is truly amazing in that it can grow up to four feet in one day and is always being replenished. In addition, most bamboo species can mature in as little as three to six years. Because of all this, bamboo is one of the most renewable, eco-conscious resources.
Growing bamboo isn't harmful to the environment, as it doesn't require pesticides or herbicides, needs small amounts of water, doesn't call for irrigation, and doesn't have to be replanted since it regenerates from its roots. Additionally, it helps the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing 35% more oxygen than trees of the same size.
Is bamboo softer and more elastic than cotton?
In addition to being an eco-conscious choice, bamboo is also incredibly soft. Bamboo fabric is actually so soft and is sometimes referred to as "artificial silk," easily surpassing fabrics like cotton in softness. Adding to the comfort is the premium elasticity of bamboo; diapers made from this material are often more flexible and maintain a good seal. So, with bamboo diapers, you're enhancing your loved one's comfort and minimizing leaks.
Does bamboo breathe as well as cotton?
While most people know that cotton is a breathable fabric, many don't realize that bamboo is often more breathable. This breathability enhances comfort and even reduces the buildup of odors, as the air circulation limits the amount of odor-causing bacteria that grows in the diaper.
Singapore has hot and humid weather, and diapers can stick to the skin, leading to a lot of discomfort. However, because bamboo diapers are so breathable, fast-drying, and thermally regulating, they significantly minimize the chance of a sticky diaper.
