    An aggregate piece increase percentage vs a production cost decrease percentage would be more useful. Brands shift to higher and lower quality and price brackets, so unless they’re all going up, it’s not much of an issue if you don’t have brand loyalty. But I think it’s likely most all brands of diapers are going up in price since they saw people were willing to pay ludicrous prices for them.

      I mean, its pay ludicrous prices or have an unhappy baby with lots of diaper rash issues if they have sensitive skin.

      Parents are between a rock and a hard place on that one. Its not like they can magically make their kids stop pooping.

          and a lot of work.

          Over 60% of the country lives paycheck to paycheck and probably simply doesn’t have the time to do such a thing, despite the obvious environmental benefits.

            My reply is blunt, but here it go:

            Think people in the Great Depression didn’t have time when they were a razor’s edge from starving? They made it work.

            Not saying we should go backwards, but humans are capable of amazing feats if pressed. Necessity, invention, all that.
