Real Nappies aren't worth the hassle??

[Magscat]

This was on the BBC news this morning.

As a cotton nappy devotee I can't believe they are saying that disposables are not much worse than cotton - just doesn't make sense.

Any other thoughts

Glad to read that Guardian article after reading 2 painful Times articles telling cloth nappy users to wipe smug smile off their face and take that terry gloaters! Definitely case of these big companies starting to feel under threat from cloth nappy market!

Mojo - Boots do a biodegradable nappy which I use at night or when we go away - they are really good too. I still use my cotton ones as I've bought them all and got really used to them now. Although she does have a big bum in them - hubby says she looks like an ant which really made me laugh!

Mojomummy - I'd recommend Moltex-Oko nappies which are compostable if you have loads of worms in your composter (they're ideal ina wormery though). I found Naturebotts.co.uk to be the cheapest around. They work out to be the same price as Pampers top of the range nappies.

Kooshies nappies are notoriously crap so don't worry about not getting on with them - they have great resale value on Ebay for some reason so get rid!!

(I use Totsbots now and they outperform all the disposables I've tried by miles)
