Seventh Generation Diapers

We use disposable when we are out an about a bit, since it is easier to travel with then cloth. We gave these a shot and still have a pack of them (since we don't use them very often packs last a long time), but they aren't as great as I was hoping leak protection wise, and when I looked into to them they don't biodegrate any better then the less green brands. Though I do like that they use less chemicals, which is my major complaint with disposable diapers as far as in relation to using them on my baby. So they have their good points and their not so hot points, but then you win some and you lose some.

 I've used Seventh Generation daipers a few times and I have never been happy with them. They sag and and leak very quickly, they ALWAYS leak at night. I expected a more eco-friendly diaper coming from Seventh Generation but I was very dissappointed to find they are not biodegradable like many of their If other products. If you want an environmentally-friendly diapering system at a better price I would suggest you try cloth diapers or Nature Babycare.

These are a great eco-friendly diaper. I use these when i am not cloth diapering. They seem to hold the liquid in pretty well. No harsh chemicals up against your babies skin.

So I don't have tons of experience with diapers (being sans babies myself)...but I recently got a bit more when travelling with some cousins of mine.

My little cousins are able to crawl, roll, and walk about quite well in these Seventh Generation diapers.  I think it's a good sign when you can play with a baby and the diaper doesn't get in the way.  Not to mention, they hold up well, are quite absorbant, and best of all, they don't irritate the baby's bum (one of my cousins is highly sensitive) as they are chlorine/dye/etc-free.

So while the drawbacks of disposables are clear (i.e. sending waste to the landfill), if you're on a trip and can't launder cloth diapers...or if you just need a quick fix of something easy...these are a great option.
