disposables or polyester diapers?

[sora]

I've used AIO Fuzzy bunz and they are really convenient especially at night and when I go out because they stay dry for longer and are easy to put on like disposables. But I was always concerned about the health effect of the fleece material right on my baby's skin. Would you say healthier disposable diapers such as 7th generation less toxic than fleece diapers or vice versa? Thanks.

Interesting question. I'd go with the polyester, though i do personally use 7th gen diapers sometimes - they still have that nasty gel stuff in them. They're just Chlorine free, but besides that they're like any other diaper afaik. Possibly g-diapers are better on that (they claim to be biodegradable, at least...), or maybe those cotton disposables, but then I would bet the baby is either wet (i.e. no stay-dry stuff) or you have the same kind of what-is-touching-my-baby issue, you know?

I also vote cloth. All our diapers have fleece and I don't worry about it at all.

Well, we all have super-sensitive skin here, and my kids will say, "My pee-pee hurts" when I put them in 7th gen sposies, and never complain with the FBs.
