Tushies Diapers
The Case for Disposable Diapers - Page 4
As with most gray-area unnecessary chemicals, I prefer to avoid gel absorbent, which is found in Seventh Generation and Baby G brand diapers. So I wound up using – and still use – a brand called Tushies.
It's a cotton-blend diaper made with chlorine-free wood pulp that contains no extra chemicals or gels. Their site says they're "assembled in the U.S. with domestic materials and certified non-chlorine bleached wood pulp from Scandinavian, sustainable, renewable, family-owned forests."
You can find them in some health-food stores or they can be delivered to your door in bulk via UPS. They're more expensive than conventional disposables.
(I just went to their site and noticed two things I hadn't before – that they now have a link up to our book and, at the bottom, it says Copyright 2008 The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. which means I guess they were purchased!)
