Looking for Earth Friendly Diapers

I use a combination of cloth and disposables. I've used the Nature babycare diapers and thought they worked OK. I didn't like how you are not able to stick the tabs onto the backing when trying to wrap up a soiled diaper. It doesn't bundle closed the way others do because the velcro doesn't attach to whatever the backing is made of. Overall that's a small inconvenience. I have since found a different "green" diaper that I prefer in terms of performance and price. they are called Natural Choice Environmentally-Sensitive Diapers. They are available on Amazon:

In my experience they have worked very well both day & night. The best part is the price...if you sign up for subscribe & save on Amazon (which has no commitments and you can cancel or change how often you want it delivered at anytime) you save an additional 15% and they end up being almost as cheap as diapers from Costco! Pretty amazing for chlorine-free diapers!

Hi D.,
My name is T.. I have actually tried the Naturebabycare diapers and I really liked them. The only store that I found them was at Target but this was when I was in California. I unfortunately have not found them at any Target here in the Portland/Gresham area. But if you to their website they list some other stores and also some online stores that you can purchase them from. I think you can also get them from the Target website. When I first thought about trying them I was a little scared as to how well they were going to work and they are like any other diaper I really liked them, not just because how well they work but it makes you feel good just knowing that you are using an earth friendly product and not contributing to the mound of trash in the world. I really hope that this some what helped.

I have tried these and liked them. Some of the reviews I read before sampling them was that their sizes run small, so you'd probably want to buy the next size up to ensure a good fit, unless your kids are very slim. Babies R Us is now carrying this brand (at least the Tigard, OR location is), and they also have wipes that are super cheap that work well (although we still prefer the Mustela line of diaper wipes). We didn't have any leakage and we didn't experience any catastrophic diaper failure.

Check out the brand G Diapers. they are a locally made product from right here in Portland! First you purchase the starter kit which includes two snug fitting cotton covers which close with velcro, two plastic, reusable snap-in inserts and a number if flushable, yes flushable diaper inserts, along with the swirling stick. once baby soils the diaper insert you simply remove it, rip it down the side and dump it into the toilet. swirl the contents with the stick and watch it completely break apart before your eyes. then flush away. safe for baby and the environment! additional packages of diaper inserts can be purchased as well as various sizes of cotton covers. check them out at www.gDiapers.com for more information. there is a much woder variety of covers available through the website. however, the starter pack sold at Whole Foods Market generally comes with red and/or orange. I don't recall the price at Whole Foods, but you could certainly compare the price to that on line. good luck and i hope this helps!

Hi D.. I am a mom of twins myself and this was a concern for me as well. We had a diaper service with the twins for a while and then we switched to disposables when we moved from CA to OR (twins were 17 months). I decided to go with the 365 brand of diapers from Whole Foods because they actually worked really well and didn't have any fragrance, or chlorine. I know that they have some of that absorbing gel in them, but I didn't like any of the other brands that just used paper pulp (like tushies, etc.) At some point, we decided to try the 7th Generation diapers because I found a good deal online (through diapers.com I think) if you buy them by the case. Those worked really well too. Another thing we did was to use the gDiapers flushable inserts along with the diapers at night for extra absorbency. We found that our boys would put so much urine in the diaper at night that we needed something extra. The small sized gDiaper inserts were perfect for that. I tried the gDiaper system, but I didn't really like it that well. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a try, but I did like the flushable inserts along w/ the 7th generation diapers at night. You can usually find gdiapers systems or just the covers on Craigslist or eBay if you want to try them out. When you are ready to move on to "training pants" we used the 7th Generation training pants for a while and then I ended up purchasing these great cloth training pants from Imse Vimse that have a hidden layer of wetness protection between 2 layers of organic cotton. They weren't cheap, but they easily paid for themselves because I wasn't having to buy the disposable training pants at $14 per bag (with twins). Here is the link for the Imse Vimse training pants:
