3 Easy Feng Shui Ways to Treat Your Cloth Diapering System

Where Cloth Diapers and Diaper Covers Meet Feng Shui Compatible Colors

The world of cloth diapers may be overwhelming to new moms and first-time expectant families. So many choices: cotton, hemp, bamboo, fleece, and more! That's just the cloth diaper materials from which to choose! What about diaper covers to keep the wet diapers from getting everything else wet? So much to learn and so little time before your little one comes and grows bigger . . . . Plus, who really has all the money in the world to invest in your experiments? As a fellow mom, I believe that you also want the best investment for your bucks. Feng shui can help.

Because feng shui is several millennia old and the patterns derived from such longevity prove the sustainability of different energy cycles in nature, I'm going to break this down and apply it to your everyday diaper changing experience. What this means is that you can use feng shui to decipher the most durable products. Here's how!

1. You may use 100% plant-based dyes to individualize your cloth diapers. This gives you an instant splash of color and joy to your diaper changing routine. Beets are one of my favorite dyes to work with because that plant is so generous and the color stays pretty long. You can do this as an arts and crafts project before the baby comes. Throw a diaper dying party, if you'd like! Maybe that can be your baby shower idea -- tell people to bring dozens of cloth diapers to the party to have them dyed.

2. If you have no time to dye your cloth diapers, then keep them in their natural color. Cotton diapers will stay white, bamboo and hemp diapers would be beige. Both of these colors are complementary colors and fit for the growing newborn, infant or toddler.

3. Now onto the diaper covers.... There are polyurethane covers that are white -- still a good choice, especially if you want to see if something got dirty or not. Fleece diaper covers come in a variety of colors. I still veer toward the beige variety. Cotton diapers are also a close runner-up, especially with the gPants and gCloth Inserts. What I noticed about the gDiaper company is that their cloth inserts and diaper pants come in feng shui compatible colors that do not clash. For example, their vanilla gPants has an orange logo and their brown gPants has a grey logo. Both of these examples are colors that do not clash in feng shui. Even though I tried the gDiaper company's system, here's the system that won my heart:

I LOVE wool diaper covers and prefer them to be in their natural color. Although I have tried several different wool covers, I still prefer the BioBottoms variety. The border of their diaper covers have green, purple, yellow, red and blue threading. The way that these are threaded represents all 5 elements in feng shui and none of the colors clash with each other, which means that this product can last over time. I particularly like the liner that keeps liquidy poop in and when I found out that the company that originated the BioBottoms diaper cover model has been around for decades I was not the least surprised given the feng shui color compatibility incorporated into their diaper cover lining.

So I hope this article is helpful for moms-to-be and papas-to-be alike. :-) Happy diaper changing!


Fondly,

Gloria
