The only disposable that I know of that does not contain SAP is Tushies and I’m not sure if they’re made anymore.

[...] at night. Since I prefer to use plastic-free diapers, I have been using compostable diapers like Broody Chick and Nature Babycare. Recently, I have discovered that GroVia has started selling their biodiapers [...]

FYI…for those in the USA, you can now get these diapers on Amazon. You can typically get free shipping if you spend more than $25.

That’s a very good question, Michelle. A lot of people are wondering the same thing, so thanks for asking it.
Unfortunately, these cannot be composted in a home composter because you need specific conditions that can only be found in industrial composters. I believe that these kinds of eco-friendly disposable diapers are still better than the regular plastic ones, but don’t expect for these to biodegrade within a few days in a regular landfill.

I have been reading reviews of these and other eco-friendly diapers…and I’m still not clear about whether you can really compost these. Can I put these in a home composter, or could they contaminate groundwater? Thoughts? Thanks for your insight!

Thank you for leaving a comment, Mindy!
These diapers do make me worry a little bit less about what’s on my daughter’s bum. The tabs are the only thing that bugs me a little, but you can definitely get used to them. I am hoping though that the company will improve those in the future.
I would also love it if there was no SAP in them, but when you think about it diapers without SAP would probably be a lot thicker and not as absorbent. If I had to use thick and not very absorbent disposables, I’d rather just stick to cloth diapers only (unless I REALLY needed them for travelling).

I saw your link on twitter and had to check this out! So cool. Now I wish I hadn’t just bought some generic “babysitter” disposables. We do free babysitting exchanges w/ friends, so he only wears disposables about 4x a month.
