They are almost completely environmentally-friendly, save for a thin sheet of tissue which is bleached with non-elemental chlorine (chlorine dioxide). Seventh Gen. claims to be working on this. Performance-wise, these nappies are great - just the same as any premium supermarket brand. A good option for Mums willing to pay a premium for environmentally-responsible products. A good option for cloth-users on holidays or travelling. | | Other Mums say... | | | Where to Buy |
