Washable
nappies use the natural absorbency of cotton, disposable nappies use
gels.
We know very little
about the gels used.
Disposable nappy
companies do not have to disclose the ingredients that go into their
nappies.
We do not know
the long term effects of having these chemicals in close proximity to
the delicate skins and genitalia of babies for 24 hours a day for two
and a half years.
Paediatricians
recommend washable nappies as being good for posture.
