Can anyone recommend any bio-degradable nappies?

We have been using beaming baby but they just don't seem to be holding dd in enough! Now she's started to roll they've got worse!

She was 11lb 4 11 days ago. We're onto the last lot of these;

We are very keen to be able to use disposable but biodegradable!

Thanks for any help!

I used Moltex nappies on my children

Nature Babycare? They're for sale everywhere really

You do realise that the biodegradable ones still take a very long time to biodegrade? There was a blog I read once, where someone put a wee'd upon one in their very active compost bin, and more than 2 years later it was still very intact.

I found nature baby very leaky and didn't seem to hold a lot of wee, although perhaps my girls were champion wee-ers! I muddled along with them for DD1 as we only used them on holiday as we cloth nappied the rest of the time. However with DD2 I discovered lidl nappies and they were great but not biodegradable. I salved my guilty conscience by reminding myself regularly of the fact that she was in washables 50 weeks of the year so not having to put up with getting damp patches everytime I picked her up for 2 weeks was justified!

I liked the Naty ones, they didn't leak on my baby and seemed lovely and soft... but we didn't use them for long.

If you are interested in maybe trying reusables, I can't recommend the Bumgenius Freetimes enough. I know nappies fit differently on different babies, but we haven't had a leak yet, and it is genuinely as easy as a disposable to put on... there are two attached flaps you fold down, then put on the baby. Then take it off and into a nappy bucket once it's wet/soiled, and into the wash when the bucket's full. Quick-drying too, we don't even have a tumble dryer.

Lowlitmemory makes a good point about fit of nappies suiting different babies. It didn't really occur to me as I was used to my adjustable, bomb proof washables. I wonder if you can get a free sample anywhere.

Cotton or bamboo washable ones???
