What impact did diapers have?

well it depends which diapers you are referring to. for example: the cloth diapers were not as efficient as the recyclable ones we have now.

The impact of cloth diapers: water was much wasted, because the diapers were reused. Yet, people saved more money because they would only have to buy a couple of diapers and used them for a long time.

The impact of recyclable diapers: These diapers save water because they are only used once. Which is way better to then to having to wash. Yet, this means more money is wasted because these diapers are only used once.

Overall : Diapers have helped parents take care of their child's outcome.
