sweething: Nature Babycare

I have gone back and forth with the issue of cloth vs. disposable diapers. I got a cloth diapering starter kit when Little Guy was born, but the laundering really was too much for me to keep up with. Next I tried Seventh Generation Chlorine-free diapers, which were decent, but I used more of them than I did traditional diapers because they just didn't seem as absorbent. Then I went to gdiapers, which are really fun little gadgets, but the flushing of the inserts grossed Mister out and clogged up the toilet on a regular basis.

As little guy got older, he started going through fewer and fewer diapers at a time, and I reverted back to traditional Huggies from Costco.

Last week, I decided to try out this website called diapers.com. I had a coupon code for $10 off of a $50 purchase, and free shipping to boot.Can't beat that. While surfing their site, I came across a brand of disposable diaper I had never heard of before... Nature Babycare. Nature Babycare diapers are 60% biodegradable (as opposed to traditional diapers which are made of 80% oil-based products) and completely compostable. Event the packaging is biodegradable. They are complete disposables and work just as well as my tried and true Huggies. NO messing with diaper covers or liners, and a severely reduced impact on the environment. Leave it to the Swedes to come up with all the cool eco-friendly yet super convenient stuff. Now his bum is in the Swedish, the Swedish (diapers).

Turns out, Nature Babycare products are also available at some Target stores!
