Compostable nappies

7 replies

Do they exist?! I always used Aldi nappies for dd1, I loved them for being so reliable, cheap and brill for my little girls sensitive skin.
With dd2 I desperately wanted to try reusables but I’ve tried them with dd1 for a month and just can’t get on with them.
Are any of the bio degradeable nappies compostable?! I have a very healthy, worm filled, compost bin and wonder if this might be something I can do rather than carrying on with the landfill nappies?

I tries them with my now 6 year old and they were awful. Lots of leaking.

Honestly they where not as good as the standard ones but I found them ok and not terrible but i guess everyone’s different Smile

We find naty miles better than Pampers and a bit better than Tesco. They're on my one year old for 12-14 hours a night and they never leak. We love them.

I think putting nappies into a domestic compost bin is a massive health risk to be fair, even if they would compost.
Most compostable packaging really only degrades under industrial composting conditions, and that's before you add in human faeces Hmm

Not disgusting at all Grinwhat about composting toilets ?? Plus where do you think septic tank waste ends up ... It go’s into a big lagoon on farms and then Is spread onto the land
