Thoughts?

Hmm, I never had any problems with Pampers but this seems like a brand only available in the US at the moment. Doubt it'll encourage people to try cloth mind you!

Yeah, it's in the US only. I was more surprised by the second link tbh. I hadn't really looked into disposables so deeply before.

Well the comment on the first one makes no sense whatsoever. The second makes for some super scary reading. I never researched them much before switching - all i knew was that they had "chemicals" in and that was enough to swing me towards cloth. Makes for interesting reading, should be passed out with all bounty packs

Might make more people consider cloth.

Bejesus scary stuff.

Never had a problem myself with Pampers though...

To be honest though, Proctor and Gamble , Johnsons etc are all FULL of chemicals, everything is these days, and although it puts ME off, I very much doubt these new findings will make much of a difference to worldwide disposable sales

I read the links and it made me think...
Weve been using pampers for overnight, and 100% pampers from 0-4 months.
Alex has always has a raised red eczema rash around the nappy area and was hard to get it to calm down without steroids. Its never fully gone either.
we recently tried out Asdas brand instead for overnight, now even being in them since Sunday night (mil babysitting) the rash has got better rather than worse.

That's great Arcanegirl, though I'm always hearing good things about asda nappies!

pampers are proctor & gamble so there is hardly any surprise there

as for the 2nd link, I discovered alot of this a while ago when doing some research, scary reading but if your willing to put it on your baby's butt then you should be willing to know the true facts

I was debating sposies for the hospital (eco ones) but now really wanting to use cloth, does anyone know if your allowed to use cloth in hospital?

You can do whatever you want hun, it's just difficult if you're staying in for any length of time.

I don't see why you can't use cloth in a hospital... They would perhaps be strict with infection control but as only your baby will be wearing cloth (not sharing with the other babies!) I don't see how it could matter?
