The Value of Transparency

From Budget Savvy Diva

Nest clearly marks all of the ingredients used in each component of their diapers. most parts are sustainably sourced 100% plant-based fibers. Fasteners and leg cuffs use non-degradable elastic and polypropylene, but they are in the process of developing alternatives for these as well. In addition to knowing what they’re made of, you also know what is excluded. Dyes, fragrances, lotions, heavy metals, parabens, odor blockers, and chlorine are just some of the actively excluded ingredients you won’t find in diapers made by Nest.

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.

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.
