Seventh Generation diapers

We are thinking of using Seventh Generation diapers on our LO. We are currently using Natures BabyCare which are biodegradable but we have to drive 30 minutes to get them (and make an appointment at the people who sell them run their business out of their home).

My concern is that I don't think that the Seventh Generation diapers are biodegradable. I have looked on their website and can't find anything that says that they are.

Does anyone have any information on this?

    I think they are.  But just a heads up, we used them for a week or so (one package worth), DH hated them!  They weren't soft at all and he hated the way they fit, putting them on, etc...

    No, they are not biodegradable. Nature BabyCare is the only kind of disposable that biodegrades. Seventh Generation just do not contain any chlorine.

    Seventh Generation still uses a petroleum-based plastic liner in the diaper (between the outside and the part that touches the baby's booty). They don't dye the diapers, so their brownish look makes us all feel better about disposables. However, the Earth's Best diapers have a corn-based liner, so they do biodegrade. Plus they are cuter. :)

    Diapers.com has them.
