Diapers have all kinds of chemicals, that is why some babies have a sensitivity to them :wink: :D:D:D
I would make sure that the diaper stays folded, don't know what the inside part would do to fabric over time... :wink:

Isn't the QB just wonderful! :thumbup:

There have been several studies investigating a possible link between the chemicals in disposable diapers and the increased incidence of childhood asthma and other respiratory diseases.

The polymers used in diapers are the same ones that used to be used in tampons...until the early 80's when it was revealed that they increased the risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Diapers are packed with chemicals in addition to just the polymers. http://www.realdiaperassociation.org/diaperfacts.php

Just a little hint for those of us that don't have little ones in diapers....you can pick up a package of 3 diapers at the dollar store and some walgreens have a "sample pack" of their generic brand.
