Very soft. Great nappy on the whole. A bit more expensive, but definitely worth it on the eco front. Buy in bulk online to cut down the cost a bit. I use them when on holiday and at nighttime as a more reliable alternative to the re-usables.

I tried washable nappies on my daughter but she was really miserable in them and in the end screamed when ever I changed her. I wasn't happy about using disposables due to their chemical content and the fact that they hang around for so many years!

I therefore did some research and came across Moltex Oko, a German "eco friendly" disposable. I sent for a free sample and was so impressed I ordered 400 straight away!

They are light brown in colour as they've not been bleached and they don't contain any water absorbing gel/chemicals but they work just as well as pampers, which I did use whilst waiting for my order to arrive.

They are easy to fit just like a regular disposable, have refastenable (not sure if that's a word!)tabs and my daughter no longer screams when I change her which has to be a good thing!

They seem to be pretty competent at containing explosive breastfed poo, with only one or two leaks around the legs. This could be due to the fact that my daughter is long and thin, chubbier legs may be the solution to this problem. They actually seem more effective than reglaur disposables at stopping it shooting up the back as they have an extra bit of elastication in this area.

I suppose the only downside is the price but I'm willing to pay just for the peace of mind that my daughter isn't going to be sitting in chemicals for the first two years of her life! They come in at about 19p per nappy for the midi size (9-20lb).

"These 'eco-disposables' from Germany are unbleached, made from recycled plastic and have less cellulose gel than other brands". "Because they are made from unbleached cotton and contain fewer chemicals they are less likely to cause nappy rash", they're "excellent for baby's skin and the cost is comparable with brand leaders". Most found them "totally secure even from the most persistent twin trying to get her sibling's nappy off". " Another plus was that "they don't smell of chemicals as soon as they are wet" and "they're very soft". "I wouldn't use any thing else now".
