Cloth diapers, which are used by many parents, are made to be highly absorbent. Hard water, however, can make them less absorbent and ineffective. If you've recently had a baby and plan on using cloth diapers, make sure hard water doesn't ruin the diapers you purchase. Test your home for hard water, and invest in a water softener if it's hard so that your diapers don't start leaking.
