Comments on: The Green Diaper Smackdown http://www.naturemoms.com/blog/2009/02/19/the-green-diaper-smackdown/ A blog for natural families with green values Thu, 18 Mar 2010 02:33:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: kerry http://www.naturemoms.com/blog/2009/02/19/the-green-diaper-smackdown/comment-page-4/#comment-96047 kerry Mon, 09 Mar 2009 21:41:51 +0000 http://www.naturemoms.com/blog/?p=2098#comment-96047 I became more aware of landfill waste when I was pregnant and learned about the major drawbacks of using disposable diapers. I didn't think twice, of course, and only use cloth diapers. But then I also realized that I was significantly contributing to landfill waste every month by using disposable tampons and pads. Now I have a menstrual cup (the Diva Cup) and would never return to disposables! It is wonderfully comfortable, completely reliable, and a timesaver because I can keep it in for up to 12 hours. And because it's reusable, I am saving about $175 a year. I feel better about my eco-footprint and the fact that I'm helping to leave a healthier planet for my baby!

I saw a published article in the Green Guide about the Nature's Babycare diapers being free of the SAP gel as you mentioned, but when I contacted the company they confirmed they DO use SAP gel, but "less than the usual amount". Just like gDiapers & 7th Generation, they say it's completely safe, but obviously that's not a very natural ingredient. I only use cloth myself now, but wanted to give that heads up to anyone choosing those because they thought they were gel-free, since they aren't. Just an FYI.
