"Eco" Pull-ups anyone?

My DD (3.5) is in nappies at night, and until now, we've been using the Nature largest size. Only now they pinch at the sides, and she's also quite keen to get up and use the toilet etc so I'd really like to switch to pull-ups. Does anyone make pull-ups with at least a few environmental credentials? Although we used washable nappies, I'm not sure about washable pull-ups as she does quite often do an enormous poo on waking up and I don't really want to go back to all that soaking mallarky! Anyone got any ideas?

I don't think these break down like Nature or Moltex do, but they are at least manufactured in a 'green' way

Or you could try a Moltex junior size to see if it fits better?

You could use washable pull-ups with a disposable liner, slightly less soaking that way, and less waste for landfill.

I bought my ds1 (now 4yo) some Happy Heiny pull-ups from Cumfy Bumfy. I ordered them without poppers as I thought these would be closer to normal pants - but they took ages to arrive as the no-popper ones are a special order. Anyway, they are HUGE!! (L size, I thought it fitted with his weight). So you shouldn't have any problems with pinching and she should be able to pull them up and down. I am thinking of ordering some more but would probably order M next time.

i found with minki yoyos that the poo just popped off the fleece into the liner

they popper down the side as well so you don't have to drag the evidence all down the leg

We've gpt some gerber traiing pants, which have a padded section like a disposable pull up instyle, but obviously they are cloth pants and are resuable. Absolutely fab - Highly recommend them! They even come in patterns so they are like big girl / boy pants.
