In the era of cloth diapers, mothers learned quickly how to wrap and pin them safely in place on their tender newborns. Women were constantly washing white diapers in hot soapy water, in order to keep their sweet babies covered. And they leaked!

Welcome the disposables, no more leaks and daily laundry.

Finally, after a long and tedious potty training season, little ones can go to the ‘room’ without your help.
Progress has been made, and a deep inner sigh of relief is heard.

Ah..here comes another change! It’s the teenage years, your daughter is in her monthly regimen, and they are disposable. She does not need your help. The years roll by, she grows and grows, and then leaves home to attend college, or maybe gets married. Daughters, single or married, will have to use ‘diapers’ or disposables?.

As you know full well, one day she’ll be in menopause.
‘At last,’ she might sigh, ‘no more diapers. I am fifty and free!’

Then along comes the leaking era that hampers some of the elderly.
But this time, dear grandma, the circle continues.
Grandpa needs them too!! Such embarrassing and humbling times for some.

Times change and needs change, so as we go through seasons, our bodies’ functioning changes. However, some things never change. One unchangeable thing is that all humans always need fresh air, green trees and grass, clean water, and healthy food if they are to be healthy.

“All creatures look to you to give them food at the proper time” {Psalms 104:27}. Our creator God knew that, so he provided a world that provided our needs... and,..He enables people to create and design the things we need, like diapers.

“ Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good”
{Genesis 1: 11-12”
Psalms 104. Psalms 148.
