I started using nature baby care nappies just after i had my second child as a friend recommended them to me, i tried them a couple of years earlier with my first baby but found the lack of elasticated sides a bit of a problem, However they have recently changed in their design, The are not quite as flexible as pampers active fit, but there flexiable enough. I used active fit with my eldest and tried huggies aswell, she suffered alot with nappy rash. My youngest is now 14 months and whilst she has some dry skin problems (not just in the nappy area) she has only ever had nappy rash once and that was quite mild, I think it is vastly due to the natural and breathable materials used. I would recommend to anyone, They keep my daughter dry day and night, even when quite full in the morning, they dont break down.

These nappies are improving - I'm now using them with my second child. They still leak a bit more than Pampers and the waist isn't as flexible so they can cut into the top of your baby's thighs if you don't put them on right. Availability can be a problem as they're not usually available in smaller stores or some supermarkets. However they feel fresher for your baby due to less plastic and are largely biodegradable which is why I use them. Also they don't have (pointless?) pictures printed on which must also be more environmentally friendly as no extra ink is being used. I also use the nappy bags and wipes which are great.

I originally didn't like these when my son was very small - I thought that they were too stiff and papery, but I have used then from size 2 onwards as his main nappy and I'm very pleased that they are performant and are less damaging to the environment. Only a couple of negatives: 1)They are not that great for night-use because they soak right through to the outer layer. 2) They are a bit harsh in hot, sticky weather - the papery texture can be rough against skin, especially around the waistband.

No leaks, no nappy rash, but they do seem smaller than the moltex equivalents. On special at boots, or order in bulk with an online company and get a bigger discount! Good VFM.

These are as easy to use as the regular non-degradable brands, slightly less absorbant but this is never an issue of actual leaking even overnight, just become a bit bulky. More expensive but worth it if there is less impact on the environment. Wish Tescos sold them though, only Sains and Waitrose where I leave. Am generally happy with them for DD, have been using since she was 9 months, now 15 months, no probs with rash.
