Nature Boy and Girl Nappies

Finally a nappy you can trust,” says the packet. Nappies that are “good for your baby and environmentally friendly” claims the next piece of blurb. The nappies were recently on offer in Tesco’s so I thought I would try them out on my two year-old daughter, instead of using my usual brand of Pampers and I was pleasantly surprised. The size of nappies I used was the maxi-plus size, suitable for 9-20 kilograms. So, what is different about Nature boy and girl nappies? APPEARANCE They look like most other nappies. The nappy has a smooth surface, but not ‘cotton-feel’ like some of the more expensive nappies such as Pampers ...  Read the complete review

The decision to use disposable or cloth nappies can cause big debates between parents.
