Disposable nappies made of cotton

foreversomeday

I have been using Cottons sanitary towels for a while now and found them much more comfortable than Always or other brands which I have tried. They are made from cotton, rather than synthetic materials and I have bought them from Boots and Tesco in the past. They are an Australian brand, and also make tampons, if anyone is interested.

Anyway, although we plan on using reusable nappies when baby arrives, I know there are going to be times when we run out, or a babysitter doesn't like the idea, or for whatever reason, we need to use a disposable nappy. Having seen the difference between cotton sanitary towels and other brands, I'm more inclined to lean towards getting cotton-based disposables to have around the house for those times, rather than pampers or huggies.

I have tried doing a google search and all that comes up is sites which debate whether cotton (meaning washable) nappies are better than disposable, so I can't find any. I am sure I have seen some before, but can't remember the name of the brand.

Can anyone direct me to some? It would be even better if you had used them too, but just a name of a brand would be lovely.

ETA: After a bit more research it seems I would be looking for nappies with no chemicals - slightly different. However, if anyone can help, I would be grateful.

The first nappies that came to mind were moltex.

spirit of nature send you free samples of these

or I see they now do bambo ones too

However, I have used the moltox ones on a newborn, as have few friends, and we all found that newborn runny baby poo needs a little more...we used huggies to begin with until it firmed up

*has a good old think* How about these ones? Would they fit the bill? They seem to be more natural than other disposables?

I haven't used them (baby is not allowed out until at least September even if she does keep jumping up and down on the exit) so I couldn't tell you how good they are, but I've read some great reviews! (And I blagged a sample one a while ago and it seems lovely!) :-)

Dont know about the nappies, i used an american brand with liner but at that time you could not get them in UK.I cant remember what they were called. Sorry.
I am curious though about the sanitary towels, they are not resusable are they??? I have been wondering about changing to a better option. Thanks

The Cottons brand sanitary towels are not reusable, no, although there are threads about that on the Old Style board.

You can buy them from some Boots and some Tesco stores, there is a list on the cottons website, and in boots I think they are around the same price as a pack of Always.

I sent off to Spirit of nature for the sample - but it never came!

So after someone sent me this organic nappy cake on the birth of my youngest daughter - I now buy the Bambo from the same people (they do a trial nappy for 1p !) I use all their natural baby products too.
