I'm not expert in eco-friendly diapers and have only done minimal research on what is the best. But I just bought a newborn size of Nature Babycare biodigradable diapers--recommended by a friend. I read that there are no plastics, dioxins or gel absorbents and use corn-base materials. I'll keep you posted on how they work!
Another biodegradable diaper that is more easy access (whole foods, trader joes and some grocery stores) is Seventh Generation. I've heard they do contain chemical gel absorbents and tend to leak. But these might be good when traveling.
The G Diaper is a hybrid diaper (cloth and disposable). Such a cool concept! Cloth on the outside and liner inserts that are flushable. But I also read that they contain chemical gel absorbents and are the worst to hold in the leaks and very expensive.
Cloth diapers, of course, are the best--easy on the wallet, earth friendly, good-bye diaper rashes, free of chemicals. Drawback--time consuming and who has time these days! But it doesn't mean you can't have a few around the house. I think I'm going to buy some for my 72-hour kits and the numerous times that I realized I just used my last diaper.
My girlfriend Katie, who is having her first baby,told me about GroVia cloth diapers. I think I'm going to pick up a few of these because the reviews were good and they are adjustable.
Another cloth diaper that has the adjustable snaps is Fuzzi Bunz. They come in a bunch of cute colors.
What's your take on Eco-friendly diapers? Or got any diaper recommendations?
we use a combination of fuzzi bunz and bum genius. bum genuis came out with a 4.0 brand that seems just like fuzzi bunz. i think my fuzzi bunz leak more than the bum genius brand, but we are still working on it.
ReplyDeleteI used a cloth diaper service :) I think it was called "Tidy Diapers" out of Norwalk....it worked great. I used the velcro wraps that are similar to the ones you posted on your blog, so there were no pins to worry about. I'll try to remember what they were...they were great wraps and no leakage! I can't wait to meet the newest Meier! Good luck with everything~ XOXO ~Mary~
ReplyDeleteI cloth diaper. I do it lazy style, so it's not much more work than doing regular laundry. I can tell you my routine if you're interested. And the diapers I got are about half what the name brands cost and work just as well (my friend Laura got both name brands and this type and turns out the cheapies are just as good). Ebay is cool. Let me know if you want me to send you a link to the exact type. (Oh, this is Tess btw. :)
ReplyDeleteWe used the seventh gen ones with Lil, which are great, never had a problem with leaking and we signed up for auto-delivery at amazon so the price was really good. Didn't like the Nature Babycare ones much - the stick part is weird and I didn't like the absorption. I keep telling Chris we're going cloth if we have another baby so he said he won't be changing any diapers (we'll probably end up using seventh gen. for church and outings). Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSuch good tips! I WISH we had a cloth diaper service in our neck of the woods but alas we are in the woods...so I think we will try Seventh Generation or Nature Babycare. Not sure which one yet though.
ReplyDeleteI have been using Bum Genius since my son was three months old. (I had to get used to a baby before I started complicating the diaper routine! ;o) this is my first). I love them. I love the fact that they rarely get diaper rash. He had a bad case of it from the disposables used at daycare, and with the cloth used at home, it was gone sooner than later. Good luck!
