Eco Disposable Nappies FAQs

Do Eco-disposable nappies, such as Beaming Baby Bio-degradable Nappies work as well as normal disposable nappies?

Yes. They have the features of popular disposable nappies such as barrier leg cuffs and a resealable fastening system. Beaming Baby Bio-degradable Nappies also have a stretchy & elasticated fastening system. A minimal amount of absorbent gel is tucked well away from the baby to create an ultra powerful absorbent core. This keeps the wetness away from the baby's skin. The absorbent layer in Beaming Baby Bio-degradable Nappies is made primarily from "fluff", this is very finely shredded paper, which has the consistency of cotton wool. Intermingled with the "fluff" are tiny balls of 'gel'. We use a mixture of Bio degradable Gel, made from GM Free Cornstarch and standard Gel - this is very similar to the silica gel you may see in a camera case - designed to keep the camera dry.

Can Eco Disposable Nappies help prevent nappy rash?

Yes. They are far less likely to irritate skin, cause nappy rash or an allergic reaction, as there are no unnecessary deodorants, dyes, lotions, antioxidants or nasty chemicals. Changing a nappy as soon as it is soiled also helps to prevent nappy rash, the main cause of which is the mixture of wee & poo (we don't like to get too scientific here!).

If my baby has eczema can they use eco disposable nappies?

Absolutely. They are gentle enough for babies with eczema and other skin problems, as they do not contain unnecessary chemicals. Most parents see a definite improvement in skin condition when their babies use Eco disposable nappies.

How often will I need to change my baby?

Regardless of whether you use washable nappies or disposable nappies, babies should be changed on a regular basis to avoid nappy rash. The amount you will need to change will vary from baby to baby. Plan for anywhere between 5-10 changes per day.
