Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I use all-in-one cloth diapers..Kisslauvs and Bumkins. Are they not vegan? Rebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 they are PUL, which is petroleum-based, and plenty of people think petroleum is not vegan. but as far as the actual content of the diaper, it's just cotton fleece, etc., no lanolin or wool, so they are vegan as far as that.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 well, like we've been saying in the other discussion, you basically have four options. 1) disposables, whether regular or " environmentally-friendly. " 2) wool covers with inserts. 3) PUL covers with inserts. 4) elimination communication/natural infant hygeine, etc. (in which case as far as i know you still have to put a diaper on the kid for long trips, sleeping at night, etc.) i guess there's also the option someone else mentioned of making your own non-wool, but still fabric, covers out of old sweaters, which i think is a valuable option, or buying/making super thick fleece covers, which i've never seen. so i guess it depends on where your priorities lie. for us, we've already taken what some would consider extreme steps to make our footprint on the earth lighter. we can't condone animal cruelty in any form. our rule has always been, if we know about it, and there's an alternative, we have no excuse to not use the alternative. therefore we use PUL, not wool. but all of our PUL diapers are second-hand, and as someone else pointed out, wool isn't actually very environmentally-friendly. so! that's how it worked out for us. you just have to weigh the benefits and drawbacks for your own family and decide what's best for YOU.
