Potty Training Tip #1: Potty Training is Tough
Potty training is tough on moms, dads & Mother Nature. Here is a tip on how to keep the process as “green” as possible & the waste to a minimum (and we aren’t talking about the poop!)
How Much Money Does Potty Training Save You?

We're sure that every family can find a great use for that money they save once their kiddos are potty trained!

Disposable Diaper Danger #3: VOCs

Share with us, we want to hear! What was your most hilarious potty training fail? Did you bribe your kiddo with candy? Did you let them pee all over your mother-in-law's fancy couch? Did you let them sleep in their wet sheets? Did you end up using disposable training pants for WAAAAY too long? We know. Potty training is just as hard for parents as it is for kids.

Disposable Diaper Danger #2: SAP
Scary fact: The absorbent center in disposable diapers & pull-ups is made from SAP. Once used in tampons, SAP was responsible for the cases of Toxic Shock Syndrome associated with the products. SAP also irritates skin, can cause staph infections, and may be related to other health problems, as well. Yikes!
