Diapers
Disposable diapers were only invented in 1958. However, even though sales are now over 16.4 billion a year, they only take up 1.5% of landfill space annually. Despite their popularity, it is estimated that between 10-20% of parents continue to use cloth diapers at least part of the time.
As a general rule, cloth diapers are less expensive than disposable ones, they conserve resources and can be used for multiple children. There is a cloth diaper retailer in Menomonie, called Tooskies. They are located at 603 S. Broadway Street, on the side of the Raw Deal. Their phone number is 715-231-REAR.
