Thanks for the links...

Page 2 of du .pdf: http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/co ... 072099.pdf, what a coincidence, there is at least 1 guy from Procter in the study committee ... so mistrust ...

code: Select all

The Advisory Board members were:
• Stewart Begg – Absorbent Hygiene Product Manufacturer
Association (AHPMA);
• Terry Coleman (Chairman) - the Environment Agency;
• Geoff Davies - Swindon Unitary Authority;
• Joanne Freer - Cotton Bottoms;
• Dr Ioannis Hatzopoulos – [b]Procter & Gamble Service [/b]GmbH;
• Ann Link - Women’s Environmental Network;
• Joanna Marchant - the Environment Agency;
• Gillian Neville – Defra;
• Vicki Portman - Plush Pants (one meeting); and
• Gina Purrman – Real Nappy


Now it is certain that when we see the level of "quality" of the packaging of disposable diapers, we can begin to doubt ...

genre: we listen to the arguments of the 2 presidential candidates of the diaper! : Mrgreen:

so ... who deceives who, who is telling the truth, who changes what ... :?:

Hello

In your study, don't forget the old people (a baby is 3 months old to 2 years of diaper an old one is 15 years old).

and I can tell you that flaring a baby is less worse than a senile who cares about you and who tries to tear your hair out.

PS: I'm not a mom but I raised my kids and flared my old ones.

here is what is supposed to absorb in disposable diapers:
http://www.journaldunet.com/science/sci ... bebe.shtml
crosslinked sodium polyacrylate.

how is it made?
how is it broken down?
how long?
in the long term, is it safe for the baby? (because it empties from time to time that the layer "explodes" and that these gel crystals are found on the skin).

if there was only plastic, cellulose, and this gel, in a disposable diaper, why, when we ask Procter and Co the composition of a disposable diaper do not want to say more?

And green peace from what I have read I do not know where, do not seem to agree that there is only that.

in addition, why, if it is the same product, all the disposable diapers are not equal, in quality and in price?

Huh?
first !!! : roll:

uh, me too ...
I tested the diapers in the elderly.
and I saw what a meticulously torn pee full layer looked like
15 years is optimistic in terms of life. :|
hello the galley of the study with that!
what is the percentage of incontinence in the elderly, how long, day? night? small absorption?
big pee?
(well, it must be able to be studied.)

Fortunately, I'm here to help you discover ....
http://www.tournesol-incontinence.com/
you will find washable nappies for enuresic children, washable sanitary napkins, special adult diapers, with several levels of absorption, and all is not out: soon will be the special diapers for adult allity.
(yes, yes, think about it!)

Finally, we, for now, we will start with the babies: old, we are not sure of being incontinent, but a child clean at birth: it's rare !!!

ah, by the way, in the frankly yucky kind ...
do you know adults babies?
those who love being in bed, peeing on them, etc ...?

a little research on the net, and you're going : Cry:

sensitive souls refrain.
hope that in terms of ecological impact, they are only very minor ...

it seems to me that since then, pampers has removed the TBT from the disposables.

TBT's argument against disposables is therefore no longer valid.
