I have been looking for something like this! I'm planning a cloth diapering booth at our local Earth Day fair. Is it ok if I print these out to share?

Of course! Or better yet, once they are printed why don't we send you a couple? Can you use the email us form to get in touch with your address, please?

I LOVE Applecheeks and it is the only brand of cloth diaper I have ever used since my daughter was born 8 months ago. I love this comparison chart. However, I will not share it as the data is very outdated. Most of my friends are RN's like me, and we were always taught in university, that when analyzing data, to check to see if it is evidence based. If you can get a hand on data that is atleast 10 years old and not 21 years old that would be more credible.

How do you know how much you spend washing and drying each load of diapers? Would you be able to provide estimates for that?
