This has probably been discussed numerous times but can anyone advise me on the best disposables to use for a 4mth old girl?

I normally use washables, but we're going on holiday in a couple of weeks and we won't have anywhere to wash them. As we're travelling around we also won't have time to find a laundrette (and we've got a small car so we're going to struggle to get everything in anyway so the extra space they take up is quite valuable). I just need to take some to last me a couple of days, then I can buy more where we're staying.

I had thought about the eco disposables, but get the impression that they're not very good.

Thanks for your help.

hi melissam
i've been using nature babycare disposables and can't see much difference in terms of fit, absorbancy etc between these and pampers / huggies etc - other than a bit more stiffness. (dd is 5months btw)
i get the impression they're not the most environmentally friendly of the eco-disposables though so am going to try out moltex over the next few days - will keep you posted.
sure plenty others will have better / more experienced advice though!

Over the past few years I've tried bambo, moltex and wiona. I've found them all very good - better than Nature babycare which I find very harsh and papery.

Wiona are probably my favourite.

Not eco- or ethical but very cheap, try ASDA's own. They're much much softer and less plastic feeling than the big brands, and no difference in poo-containing ability.
