Well, I'm stuck. Don't know what to do. We've loved using our NatureBabyCare diapers (made in Sweden...I do love Scandinavia!) since she was old enough to fit in them. The size 1's fit her perfectly! They were nice and wide. All of a sudden, when you buy size 2's, they get skinnier and taller. I can see why they get taller, but not skinnier. Isn't your little one supposed to get that cute baby fat as they get older?
Problem #1: Because they are skinnier, there isn't very much of that flap of diaper that the fasteners are attached to, so nothing covers her legs and the straps dig into her legs.
Problem #2: I don't know what kind of diapers to use instead. Seriously, we were really happy to find these diapers. They were affordable, they didn't have the gel absorbent junk that all the others have, they were made out of mostly biodegradable materials, and they were cute (no cartoon characters, just cute little leaves).
So, what I'm looking for is this:
1. A remotely eco-friendly diaper (yes, I know cloth would be better on the landfills, but until June 9th, that's not really an option for me, seeing as she's in daycare).
2. A diaper that does not have the gel in it.
3. A diaper that is made up of mostly biodegradable materials
4. A diaper I can actually buy in the United States (there are others, but they are European and I can't afford to pay $30 for 40 diapers)
And before you tell me, yes, I have heard of the new Huggies ones, but their wording annoys me. I don't think they are eco-friendly at all, their press release just sounds shady to me, but I'm not going there. At least it's a step in the right direction.
Help me!!!
(yes, I realize that I probably have umpteen jillion punctuation errors in this post, but I'm tired, I've had a productive day, and I'm beyond caring right now. A horrible LA teacher, indeed.)

I dunno the cost, but they list 4 at the bottom
Apparently all of the blogs that pop up on google are from like 2007...but, I think I found a winner:

How about "gDiapers"?
Well, back to it...
gDiapers have the gel thingy...now I could use them like cloth diapers, and put a cloth insert in, but then that's just cloth diapering...
Thanks for the link...Moltex are the ones that I'd like to try, but they aren't available in the US (most of the "good" ones aren't).
7th Generation has the SAP (the gel).
I'm thinking of trying the "tushies" brand, but all the reviews hate them. I guess I can't say until I try them though.
Is it too early to potty train? (Kidding! I have no clue how old babies are when they do anything)
Don't we wish! We don't really know when babies do anything either...until she does them (or I read the book and the book tells me...)
