Regular readers will know that part of the H is for Home ethos is to reuse, recycle and reduce. We have strong views about single-use plastic; and, although we don’t have kids, we think that eco disposable nappies must be part of the war against landfill.
I remember in the 1970s, when my two younger sisters were born, my mother used cloth nappies and kept disposable ones only for special occasions – they were very expensive back then. A couple would be kept in their nappy-changing bag for when we went out for the day. How things have changed since then!
It’s been estimated that each year, in the UK alone, 3 billion regular ‘disposable’ nappies end up in landfill or being incinerated. That’s mind-boggling!
These days, eco disposable nappies are easy to get hold of and are affordable. To make the comparison even, we’ve chosen newborn baby-sized nappies and, as none of them are sold in the same sized bundles, we’ve calculated how much each brand costs per nappy.
- Pingo ecological disposable nappies – pack of 27: £3.95, Natural Collection (15p each)
3⭐️ I used few times on my baby 3 weeks old. Unfortunately the protection is not great. I think the size is big in general for new born. When the baby had poo it was going through the space near legs as it was quite loose. I wish they would improve the model as I prefer to buy eco stuff.
- Kit & Kin disposable nappies – pack of 40: £7.99, Ethical Superstore (20p each)
5⭐️ Absorbent, good size, eco friendly and cute! Been using these for the last 4 weeks amongst other eco brands and have to say they are one of the best before we switch to reusable!
- Pack of 3 Beaming Baby biodegradable mini nappies – 60 nappies: £26.91, Amazon (45p each)
5⭐️ Purchased these nappies for my newborn, she is now 10 days old and can honestly say we have had no problems! Zero leaks, and no sore bottoms AND they’re biodegradable! Your child is comfy and you’re doing your part for the environment. Will definitely be buying more!
