Hi all! If you have experience with any of the following "green" disposable diapers and wipes, would you please give a review? I'd like to try some with the new baby. And it would be a great thread to keep around here for other interested moms.
Thanks!

-7th Generation
-Tushies (gel free)
-Earths Best
-365 Whole Foods store brand
-Nature Care Baby

My reviews on 7th Generation will be dated because I haven't used them in about 15m. I never had trouble with leaks. I did find them to be a tad papery vs more cloth like like I prefer.

My Tushies' review is even more dated because it has been a few years. They were my favorite though because they were so cloth like. Unfortunately ds got a rash from them.

I currently use EB and Whole Foods' pretty interchangeably now and will review them that way because they are equal to me. I like both of them. I find them to be more absorbent than Pampers' Cruisers. They also never feel wet from the outside like a Pampers' Cruiser would feel 1st thing in the morning. They are a bit stiff but it doesn't seem to bother ds. They are both now solid white which appeals to me because there is no design poking out of the back of his pants. They are expensive though. Last night I paid $11.50 for a pack of 35 size 3 Earth's Best. It is worth it to me though because of the lack of nasty chemicals. If I am not going to be using cloth then I at least can feel a bit less guilty using these.

We mostly cloth diaper and have used disposibles for F only when we were on vacation for a week, our washer (rather our drain from our washer) was broken and it took sometime to get it fixed and a few times when we realized we were out of cloth while baby was being toted along caring for my mom at hospice/hospitals/doctors. I have experience only with:

-7th Generation- simply not good at holding in leaky explosive breastfed infant poo. It was/is usually necessary to change his clothes with every bowel movement when we used these. Fine for pee diapers.

-Tushies (gel free)- did not fit my son well, are as soft as cardboard.

-Nature Care Baby- my dad got them for me. They worked ok.
