Keep in mind the skin is just as capable of absorbing toxins as it is expelling them. And unlike unwanted ingredients in food, the body does not even have the digestive system as a first line of defense. Most of these chemicals will make their way straight into the blood stream.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FAwesomeBeginnings4Children.com%2F&amp;h=TAQEh89x7AQG-QM7O6CXrI2FxQhRo3Mcpra8Ix9xmKRltyg&amp;enc=AZMc5-1_XDvloTxSkyf_g5D8juElS1osibb-Ak2lrwzy3gDwftJc2x_IGwGZ0riWAXChshto0uVZOet3DXbk7mlpEhWbortHMrR3zcquXfxBl-U2YVW742VHBizqtk794VB6PSlt08KZ0-0Lg5El2bmYETMRJJQq3uFj0nIljNXFIbSTc2pXsdmyXUi8BQ5Ox_A5k6FYWUDQZIr9fiA4cuBF&amp;s=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">AwesomeBeginnings4Children.com:<\/a> Dioxins and sodium polyacrylate, two of the chemicals found in disposable <span class=\"highlightNode\">diapers<\/span>, have either been linked to or have caused the following toxic responses: cancer, reproductive &amp; infertility problems, asthma &amp; respiratory distress, hormonal problems, developmental &amp; cognitive problems, suppressed immune system, diabetes, endometriosis, allergic reactions, chemical burns, Chloracne, and Toxic Shock Syndrome (in the use of tampons).<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s just two!! It doesn\u2019t take long clicking around to find dozens of others, including heavy metals. Why expose your kids to these when there is a much better way \u2013 not only in terms of health but cost savings as well!<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been using <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2iBUR1X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cloth <span class=\"highlightNode\">diapers<\/span><\/a> on our daughter Channing and are never going back! Not only are they completely chemical free, but they\u2019ve saved a TON of money!!!!! For a couple hundred bucks up front cost, we\u2019ve completely eliminated buying pack after pack of disposable <span class=\"highlightNode\">diapers<\/span>\u2026 And the best part is they\u2019re just about as easy! The cloth <span class=\"highlightNode\">diapers<\/span> of today consist of easy snaps and Velcro as opposed to the safety pins and complicated wrapping procedure we had pictured!<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve all the top cloth diaper brands at this point, and while they all have their plusses and minuses, <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2iBUR1X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thirsties<\/a> seem to keep her dry the longest and are super easy to put on!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2hyEa51\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Subscribe to our Channel!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Please note: Many links on this site, especially those to Amazon, are affiliate links.
