disposable diapers - 7th gen or nature babycare?

Yes, I read the post below about the nature babycare. My question is: how do they compare to 7th generation? 

We just figured out that LO, for some reason, sleeps better in disposables. We've never used them on her, except on a trip to FL last month. After continually waking up in the middle of the night grabbing her crotch and kicking her legs, I decided to try them at night. She STTN for the first time ever. So, I'm not going back to cloth at this point. (We used BG4.0's at night) I need sleep. 

We have the 7th generation left over from the trip, and I really like the way they fit. They are trim and soft. 

But I read the post about the Nature Babycare diapers and would like to try them. Are they just as trim and soft? Also, it seems they are sized differently? LO is 22 lbs and wears a size 3 in 7th gen - but it looks like i need to buy the size 4 in NBC? 

Thanks for any insight.

    I've never tried the Nature's Baby Care diapers, but I like the Whole Foods diapers better than 7th Gen. They seemed to fit our DS better and we had less leaks with them.

    I personally like Nature Babycare better. The fit is better for my kid (20lb - wears size 3) as 7 Gen seem smaller. We've had leaks with 7 Gen and no issues with Nature Babycare. I like that neither brand smells bad :) I would recommend you try them and see which works better for you but so far they are my favorite disposable diapers and we've tried a few brands. We use them overnight since DS2 seems to sleep better with a disposable like your LO and we use cloth during the day.

    Thanks for the insight! I ordered the 7th gen from amazon because I needed some ASAP, but the next time I am at a store that carries Nature Babycare I'm going to pick a package up.

    I believe 7th generation diapers are actually not at all biodegradable...and nature babycare are the more green choice.  I also heard that they (7th gen) are dyed for a more natural look..just fyi.

    Nature Babycare is on Amazon too :)

    I've never used disposable diapers other than NB so I don't have anything to compare them too, but they get the job done and I have no complaints.  DD is 24lbs and and is size 3.

    We used Nature Babycare while travelling abroad and are currently using 7th Gen because we're in the middle of packing / moving and I can't keep up with the laundry right now. 

    I'd say Nature Babycare is a better fit for my kid, because he's a tall lanky guy, but 7th Gen worked better for us overnight and just seem more substantial. If they worked equally, I'd choose Nature Babycare just because they are biodegradable, and try and see if you can get them locally.
