Mommy Goes Green

Y’all know I’m a big of fan of Seventh Generation.  We use several of their products and the company is always pursuing better and more eco-friendly products and production methods. 

I’ve used Seventh Generation diapers for 4 years.  I started using them because I thought I’d do cloth diapers but they just didn’t work out for us.  So I wanted something a little more eco-friendly than the conventional choices and found Seventh Generation diapers.  They were the first Seventh Generation product I used and just the beginning of a more eco-friendly lifestyle for our family.

I used the diapers first for our daughter and now for our son and 4 years later, I couldn’t be happier.  I’ve encouraged friends and family members to try them out but one by one, they’ve reported that they leak too much.   I don’t have any leakage problems  – but if they do leak, I know it’s time to move up to the next size.  I do have skinny little babies so maybe they just fit better for a particular child, I’m not sure. I’d love to know if they do or don’t work for you.  When I look at the reviews on Amazon, only 20% of reviews are negative.

If they do work for you, the best place I’ve found to purchase them is on Amazon through their Subscribe & Save program.   Not only do you automatically receive delivery of the diapers at any interval you choose (we get a new shipment every month) but you also get a great discount and right now it’s 30% off!  And the shipping is free, can you beat that?

So we’re currently using size 3 diapers and the normal price is $39.99 per box of 140 diapers.  With the Subscribe & Save program, they are $27.99 per box or .20 per diaper.  The cheapest box of Huggies I could find was the same: .20 per diaper.  So you can’t argue that eco-friendly diapers are more expensive

If you haven’t used them, I definitely recommend you do and if you are already using them, order them through Amazon.  Cheapest price, free shipping and they show up on your doorstep just when you’re about to run out – no late night runs to the drug store for diapers! 

What brand of diapers do you use?  Have you tried any eco-friendly brands?  What have you liked and not liked?
