Tired of Doing Laundry! Trying Compostable Disposable Diapers

After months of cloth diapering and a really bad diaper rash that developed all the way down my baby's leg where it would get irratated by cloth diapers, I decided to look for natural alternatives in disposable diapers (I felt guilty to go back to regular disposables but I couldn't use cloth for awhile  at least).

I also was finding that once my baby started to move around more, it was harder to use cloth diapers because if I used a liner or a disposable insert it wouldn't be in the right place by the time I got the diaper on.

So what was the next best thing:

After trying several different types of brands, the one I have found to be the most eco friendly and doesn't cause a rash because it really is natural, is the Naty diapers.

These diapers are a disposable but fully compostable and you can tell that is true because if the outside gets wet it starts composting.

I like these diapers because after a whole night of wearing them my baby's bum doesn't have a rash unlike regular disposables, even the pure and natural or free and clear ones. They work pretty well and I feel guilt free to use them.

Because they compost so easy I've had to use a diaper cover with them but I since I already have cloth diapers that hasn't been a big deal for me.

Some things that are inconvient about these diapers are that they can be hard to get because they aren't available like regular disposable diapers that are found in stores. I've been having to order mine online through Target.

The other things is that they do cost a bit more money then other disposables, but they are about the same price as buying disposable inserts for cloth diapers.

I am pretty happy with these and almost don't feel like I need to bother going back to cloth diapers.

However, I still have some creative ideas to explore in my quest for a cost effective, eco-friendly, and time saving diapering alternative. So until that time good luck to all. May your experience with your little one or ones bring you joy and little frustration. Tiffany
