Just as it has with baby carriers, organic baby clothes and even modern baby furniture, the Internet has brought about a revolution in cloth diapering. Start investigating cloth diapers online and you’ll quickly find yourself wrapped up in products galore, brands like Happy Heiny and bumGenius.

But life may have just gotten easier for those moms and dads who are determined to use cloth diapers. Earlier this month, Lena Hill, Lisa Hubbard and Jen Rodriguez -- three Los Angeles moms -- launched a new cloth diapering store and consulting company called Tush. Working out of Rodriguez’s Eagle Rock home, they offer a variety of cloth diapers, inserts and covers for sale, as well as cloth diapering workshops. They’ll even let you bring your baby over to try on some diapers.

I recently attended one of their workshops and was kind of mystified by their enthusiasm for dealing with their babies’ waste. At one point Hill declared that poop was her favorite subject.
