Eco Nappies
Hi ladies
Having done a bit of research I have come to the conclusion that for me the most environmentally friendly nappies are eco-nappies (as reusables use so much energy (water, electricity, waste from wahing powder etc etc) and disposables take so long to break down on landfill sites).
I've managed to find some reasonably priced ones but want to know if anyone has ever used either of the brands, they are called Moltex and Bambo. Are these as absorbent as they need to be? How did you find the fit and just what are they like? I have ordered a sample but since my baby isn't here yet I wondered if anyone can share their experience of either of these products.
Thanks
Rebecca

Perhaps you will get to try them before me?? They are quite price competive so I think I'll def give them a go provided no one tells me they are awful. It works out at roughly ??25 for 180 nappies if you buy in bulk or ??4.50 for a pack of 28 (for newborns).

I have tried Nature Babycare ones stocked in Sainsburys & agree that they aren't as absorbent as regular disposables.
I use the eco diposables in the day if I go out, when I'm at home or mums I use washables & at night I use Pampers Extra Dry as otherwise he would be wet by the morning (pyjamas & all - it's happened!).
Maybe for baby no.2 I will buy some from 'SoN' as I like to use disposables for the first few weeks after giving birth.

I tried the free samples and I agree with frag_jones, they are both pretty good. I prefered the Bambo ones as they seemed to fit better, but I didn't have any leaks in either and Millie wore the Bambo one over night. I also thought that the Moltex ones seemed a bit expensive to me, the Bambo were slightly cheaper. I was impressed enough to have ordered som for Millie for over night and some newborn ones for the first couple of weeks with no. 2 (due 24th)
Hope that helps

i also heard about some really good degradable baby wipes that Sainsbury's are about to start stocking in store. S x
Kerry thanks for letting me know. I think I'm def going to go for the Bambo ones, they look nicer aswell as being cheaper. I'm def going to buy some for the first few weeks and see how I get on.
Thanks ladies xx
