DUNK AND SWISH

Though there are lots of modern innovations that mostly prevent the need for this, apparently there are cloth diapering parents out there who still choose to use the dunk and swish method for cleaning cloth diapers. Here are two videos instructing one on how to do this: one with poop and one without actual poo.

Have you ever considered how access to proper sanitation affects health, dignity and the environment?

 

In a groundbreaking move, the pioneering water and housing products company LIXIL secured its position as the first commercial license partner for the Generation 2 Reinvented Toilet (G2RT). This innovative off-grid toilet, developed in collaboration with Georgia Tech, is set to revolutionize sanitation practices worldwide. With billions of people lacking access to safe sanitation facilities, the G2RT offers a promising solution that could transform lives and communities.

 

What makes the G2RT special?

 

The G2RT is not your average toilet. It operates independently of traditional infrastructure, treating waste directly at the source. This remarkable technology eliminates the need for connection to sanitation grids or septic systems. The G2RT transforms solid waste into safe, compostable dry solids through high heat and pressure while purifying and recycling liquid waste for flushing. Notably, the process also kills harmful pathogens, significantly reducing the spread of waterborne diseases.

 

The journey to commercialization

 

LIXIL is moving swiftly to prepare for commercialization. With the ink barely dry on their commercial license, the company is already gearing up for the next phase. They are actively refining the technology to ensure that it is suitable for both private and public-sector use. LIXIL aims to have the G2RT market-ready within the next three to five years. This innovation has the potential to benefit the 3.5 billion people worldwide who currently lack access to safely managed sanitation services.

 

Why this matters

 

The G2RT represents more than just a toilet; it serves as a solution to a global crisis. By preventing water contamination, it reduces the risk of diseases like cholera and dysentery while offering significant savings in construction and installation costs. Furthermore, it brings sanitation to communities where traditional infrastructure is not feasible.

 

Kurt's key takeaways

 

By transforming a basic necessity into an advanced, self-contained appliance, LIXIL is not only innovating in toilet technology but also paving the way for improved public health, reduced environmental impact and enhanced quality of life for billions. The next few years will be crucial as LIXIL works to bring this game-changing technology to market, potentially ushering in a new era of sanitation accessibility worldwide.

CLOTH DIAPER ANONYMOUS EPISODE 2: CLOTH DIAPER MYTHS

Here's an up-to-date debunking of ten myths about reusable baby diapers.

To myth #9 about the environment, I would reiterate just how reusable cloth diapers are and add the following two arguments:

a) Especially given the fact most parents don't dump the poop, the urine, feces and chemicals in the disposables leech into the groundwater once they're sitting in the landfill. Sure, you're using extra water to wash cloth diapers, but by using disposables you're polluting the future water supply.

b) On average, from what I've heard anyway, babies in fluff tend to toilet train faster. Therefore, the use of cloth diapers is not comparable to that of disposables both because the same diaper will be used over and over again and your child will ultimately be using them for a shorter period of time.

Listen to it here. 

THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE TOO FEW ARE TALKING ABOUT

If governments, media and other such people who are always banging on about climate change and the environment truly cared, they would look into our society's insane overuse of diapers. 

In my view, disposables are the worst, but cloth also require water use. Here are some key issues I feel need to be looked into for the purpose of curbing the use of these things.

First, it used to be the average age for a child to become toilet trained was 18 months. Now, according to numerous statistics, average potty training age has gone up to two and a half, and keep in mind, I said average.

 How come there are so many children being born these days with autism and other physical, developmental and cognitive disabilities which can mean the child toilet trains much later or not at all?

Why are their so many women who have incontinence problems which then involve the use of products for that age group you see advertised on television?

What's with so many people having irritable bowel syndrome and similar issues which may, in some cases, result in the use of diapers?

What about all these old people who have all these problems with incontinence for various reasons, including the increase of Alzheimer's, dementia and other problems that effect awareness or the bladder and brain's ability to communicate?

CLOTH DIAPERS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS

     The parent, guardian or caregiver of a child who is taking longer to toilet train or is unable to due to a physical, mental or psychological condition doesn't have to use disposable diapers. There are reusable options out there that look nice, feel nice, are good for the environment, and, most importantly, work really well. This video looks at a few brands of special needs cloth diapers and gives concise but thorough details about each. 

HOMEMADE CLOTH DIAPERS

Cloth diapering really is easy and here are some videos to prove it. All these diaper tutorials do not involve sewing.
