Eco-Friendly Diapers

[ThePalindromicOne]

Since I can't convince hubs to do cloth diapering, I'm looking at Eco-friendly diapers (yes, I know they don't have THAT much eco-benefit... but every little bit helps I guess) and I'm hoping I can tap into y'all's already done research or personal experience, with the added benefit of a clicky poll!  Feel free to add comments and rationale or additional options, or if you have any particular experiences as it pertains to having boy.  TIA!

For those that are mobile, the poll options are 1) Seventh Generation 2) The Honest Company 3) BamboNature 4) Earth's Best 5) Babyganics

Why is your DH so against cloth diapering? The extra work?

Probably... I didn't really push the option real hard, because I myself waffle on it too.  I don't mind laundry, but I don't know if I can handle the initial investment this time around either (since as a FTM - EVERYTHING is an initial investment for us... if that makes sense).  And if I'm being honest, I'm exhausted by all the research I've been doing on stuff in prep for baby and I just feel this would take ALOT to research for me.  So really I'm probably the one waffling more than the hubs, eh?

I've used Honest and 7th Gen.

7th gen didnt work for us while DS1 was a newborn (lots of leaking for some reason)but they were awesome once he hit size 3, which for us was about 6mo. I did Amazon Subscribe and Save and they were pretty reliable. I liked the wipes too.

we did end up switching to Huggies Pure and Natural after awhile and I couldn't even tell you the reason, likely cost per diaper. absorbency wise the 7th Gen and Huggies were pretty close.

I found the Honest diapers not as absorbent as the Huggies and couldn't justify the cost as a result. (Honest wasn't in stores yet).

I tried 7th Generation, and we constantly had blowouts. After that we switched to Honest Co, and I love their diapers. I've heard of other people using and liking both the BamboNature and Earth's Best, but I personally have no experience with them. Re: Babyganics, I thought I've always heard that they aren't as ecofriendly as they claim? I could be totally wrong though, but I thought I've heard that before?

We plan to CD, but I want to have a few disposables as backup. I found this while poking around on Pinterest a while back and found it really helpful. I'm a FTM, so no first-hand knowledge, but I love a good scientific comparison. m.babygearlab.com/Disposable-Diaper-Reviews
