Often faulty, 31 May 2013

These nappies from Amazon often have one of the tabs being faulty ie. it doesn't stick. This is not the first pack it has happened in, it has happened in almost every pack we buy from Amazon. We then have to throw it away. We are wasting every third or fourth nappy (kind of defeating the environmentally friendly objective)We also buy these nappies from a major high street retailer (for a slightly higher price) and then there is no issue. I think they are probably manufactured in different factories, because the ones from the high street have blue tabs (which work), and the ones from Amazon have white tabs.We have persevered in the hopes that this problem will go away but it is recurring, so we won't be purchasing any more through the amazon channel.

If you're feeling guilty ..., 5 Mar. 2011

The whole issue of disposable versus terry nappies is a thorny one. Many parents-to-be intend to use non disposable nappies when their child is born but then, exhausted and overwhelmed by the reality of looking after a baby, keep on using the disposable nappies they bought for convenience. And disposable nappies are more convenient than the alternative, there is no doubt about that although there is the continuing niggle of what the mountains of waste from disposables is doing to the environment. These eco friendly nappies then are a nice compromise. They do the job every bit as well as the more familiar brands and although they did not pass the acid test of dealing with a nasty bug that my grandchild caught, neither did any of the other brands. The papery feel of the nappies takes a bit of getting used to but actually becomes quite preferable. There can be a gel leak as the manufacturers warn, but this causes no distress and is easily wiped away. The only thing against them is the...

Big but good., 24 Feb. 2011

These nappies are easy to put on and seem to work well. They are, however, rather large for the stated 4 - 9kg size range. My 5kg baby was a little swamped. I'm not sure quite what chlorine is supposed to do to babies (I haven't spotted any ill effects from the main brands such as Pampers and Huggies, which I infer from the hype must use chlorine). But if you're worried about it, then these could be the nappies to go for.

I am slightly suspicious about these nappies claim to be "based on biodegradable materials". The question surely is whether the nappies are biodegradable, not whether they are "based" (at what percentage, and how have the materials been subsequently processed?) on biodegradable materials.

You would also have to be using biodegradable nappy sacks and bin liners in order to benefit from any biodegradability.

I imagine a lot of people who are worried about the environment would be using washable nappies anyway, but if not, these...
