Sckoon clothing is a company from New York, who are trying to bed in the idea of organic FairTrade Clothing. They are not only trying, they're succeeding, with great press all over the world, and a growing following.
They certainly are with the trend of going back to cloth diapers as opposed to the disposable ones of today.
Disposable may be quick and easy, but they are not so friendly to the baby's skin, and are not friendly to the environment either, filling up landfill sites after use.
With a cotton diaper, the speed of diaper change is pretty much the same as a disposable to no real issue there - the obvious issue is one of hygiene and laundry.
Well, because the diapers from Sckoon are 100% organic cotton, this means that they are easy to clean.
Yes, you can out them in your regular wash, but they are just as quick and easy to hand wash in the bowl.
Organic cotton feels smoother than processed cotton, and tends to feel smoother the more it's washed, so baby will have no complaints!
The company also runs a Fair Trade policy, which means that production costs are not just paid in low wages, the local communities of the workers have to benefit from the money, that's a directive before you can call yourself Fair Trade. The company benefits workers in Japan, India and Egypt.
So you can see, Sckoon diapers are friendly to the planet, friendly to the workers that make them, and most of all of course, not a pain in the behind for the little people that wear them!
