I have a love – hate relationship with disposable nappies. I feel guilty about using them, but they are totally invaluable in many situations and it would seem I am not alone. So when we did the callout for testers to trial the Nature Babycare eco-disposable nappies, we were inundated with volunteers. The popular brands Huggies and Babylove perform well, so to bring a new disposable nappy out which can compete with the price and performance of these brands, and bring eco-credentials into the mix is a pretty tall order. We have finished our nappy trial and the results are surprising. Find out how our testers got on.

Environmentally friendly disposable nappies are edging onto supermarket shelves alongside the familiar sight of brands such as Huggies and Babylove.

At Last More Choice For Eco Disposable Nappies
October 22nd, 2010
When in the supermarket there is a depressing lack of eco-friendly disposable nappies. At last this is about to change. Last week saw the launch of Little Takas 90 per cent biodegradable nappy range.

Here we find out how two passionate Australian mums came up with the idea for these modern cloth eco-nappies and why they got into the baby bum business.
Reusable Nappy Week
October 2nd, 2009
The fourth annual Reusable Nappy Week is on from the 12th to the 18th of October. During this week various displays and information sessions are being run throughout Australia to give parents a chance to see a large selection of modern variables on reusable nappies.
