Why We Made The Switch To Nest Diapers

From Ashley Erin Gunn

Before I had Pearl I think I had only heard of two brands of diapers, and honestly, it seemed like everyone had an opinion about what brand we should be using and which one was the best. We tried at least four brands before landing on Nest Diapers, and each one we had some sort of issue with — blowouts, irritating her skin, poor fit, etc.

Raise Your Hands In The Air!

From Whitney Fisher

Raise your hands if you want a more socially responsible diaper! Say hello to Nest Diapers. I received a case of diapers from Nest to try out and I am IN LOVE. These diapers are the SOFTEST things I have ever touched! They are so much better than Pampers, Huggies, Honest, or Kirkland brand baby diapers (10000% my own opinion)!! Their entire mission is pretty rad and the diapers are environmentally conscious! Sustainability IS achievable & here is how Nest is helping!

The Truth About Disposable Diapers & What You Can Do

From The Wisco Mama

I am always looking for new ways to go green in our household. One of the biggest things we can change as moms are the type of diapers we use for our babies. Did you know an average of 20 billion disposable diapers are dumped in landfills each year, accounting for more than 3.5 million tons of waste? How about that is takes 500 YEARS for a diaper to decompose?

7 Reasons to Use Eco-Friendly Diapers

From Lindsey Lee & Co

I don’t like to think about how much pollution I’ve contributed to the environment over the past 8 years as I’ve used diapers for my kids. Serious guilt. I’ve tried my best, but I’ve added a lot of diapers to landfills across the country as I’ve raised my babies. I’m working to do better for the environment for my last baby with Nest Diapers.

Simplicity, Function And Environmental Responsibility. No Compromises.

From Gurl Gone Green

I’ve tried ALL the natural brands when it comes to natural diapers. Literally. There weren’t many options 5 1/2 years ago when I had my first daughter. But they have definitely improved since then. Today I want to share my full review on Nest diapers. I had actually first heard about them from a follower and when I looked into them knew I HAD to try them out for myself.

Memoirs of A Mommy Recommends Nest Diapers

From Memoirs Of A Mommy

…It got me thinking when having my now 15 months old daughter — “I wonder how much chemicals are put into a diaper for absorption and to mask that fresh powder scent.” You never really think about the importance of a diaper, but it truly is an essential factor when welcoming a baby. Especially if you don’t know how your baby will react to the different ingredients the diaper has.

I'm Obsessed with Eco-Friendly Diapers

From Noëlle Boyer

I used to be a cloth diaper mama, back when I only had one child. However, the amount of laundry I have to do for 2 kids, a dog, myself & my husband (when he’s stateside) is MOUNTAINOUS. I don’t have time to add another load of laundry to the mix — so goodbye cloth diapers for now.

Safe Disposable Diaper Guide

From Maia James

My original introduction to this section read something like, “Sure, we all know we should use cloth diapers, but how realistic is that, especially here in New York City where many of us don’t even have washing machines? Thank God for these biodegradable diapers from Seventh Generation!”

This was back in 2010, and I was using cloth diapers about 25% of the time (and my husband was using them never). After doing the research for this guide, I came away realizing that there really isn’t a truly “green” way to use disposables. So I started putting Felix in non-toxic disposable diapers only at bedtime or for long car rides, and stopped using the Seventh Generation disposables completely.

But I had many relapses before potty training was done, and when my second son, Wolf, was born in 2013, I didn’t even attempt cloth diapers. My excuse: a busy business and two children. Valid? Not really, but at least I used diapers I felt better about.
