cloth covered diapers mostly use thinner plastic underneath which is fragile without the cloth layer.
you can get biodegradable diapers, but stupidly only in baby sizes, but cost more.
except for abena abri form nature that are almost fully biodegradable.
the 'plastic' in biodegrable diapers is made of potato starch, they use no chemicals except for the SAP, perfumes or dyes.the layers are unbleached and the pulp is made from natural unbleached wood fibre.
so apart from the SAP, the rest of it is biodegrable.
why can't they make adult diapers like that.... would be more expensive but would save on the costs.
however 1 brand does, but why can't others do the same.
Abena abri form nature.
Small 1800 ml
Medium 2100 ml
Large 2400 ml
shame there's no abena x plus nature...
u could always wear 2 of the abri form nature's or the abri san nature with the abri form nature, and slit the backsheet on the first one.
