My FFC: I really, really wanted to use a "green" diaper

Cloth diapering's not really an option for us (we don't have a W/D) but I did my research and decided to go with the "greenest" of the disposable diapers, Nature Babycare. I even stocked up on size 1s since they didn't have a newborn size. We were using Pampers Swaddlers newborns, partly because that's what we got from the hospital.

Well, the problem is, I just don't like the Nature Babycare as much. It doesn't fit him as well, and it's much stiffer than the Pampers. I like the idea of a chemical-free diaper for his skin, but I have to think a softer diaper feels better to him. And the Swaddlers fit his body well.

So, we're back to Pampers... sorry, Earth!

Hey, at least you tried!   FWIF I hate the nature babycare diapers b/c they are so stiff.  I had some and got rid of them.

We really wanted to also.  We're trying to be greener now by using re-used (washed) Gerber containers and making LO's bananas.  We just started solids-woohoo!

This. Diapers are expensive ENOUGH...companies if you want us to go green you gotta drop the prices a bit. It perpetuates the cycle...forced to use pampers bc I can't afford the green ones.

I actually found the prices to be somewhat similar, at least for the Swaddlers (those things aren't cheap!). Amazon has some good deals, especially with their "Subscribe and Save" program.
