Since cloth diapering mixed with Eco-nappies started to have another option- elimination communication, we needed a potty. Most of my friends asked me- why don't you just go to the nearest store and buy it for that little money. Most of them were very surprised when I told them that Emily's potty is... biodegradeable!
Isn't that really cute when after the baby is done with baby potty, you can dig it in your garden and plant some flowers in it? However, I plan to use the potties (we have 2 of them since we still live in 2 homes) for all of my kids, as many my life will have.. It's still great, that I can then put it away and it won't cost the earth another plastic piece.
Besides- it is really stable and comfy. And even in fresh mornings it doesn't seem as cold as regular plastic for that little bottom!
Another green consumerism moment- even before Em started to use potty once in a while, during summer we used 'pee pants'. Just regular pants or leggings that she wore without nappies or diapers, simply on bare bottom. They are easier to pull off if I got the message for potty. And easier to change if we had a miss. She feels so much better in them than in cloth diapers that can be quite large and have the woolen overpants that are not so nice in warmer days.
How can buying many pairs of pants or leggings be green consumerism? It is when you choose organic and / or second hand. I opted for second option for pants and combined for tops. Just returned from the second-hand store with a batch of next size 'pee pants' for my little ones happy bottom :)

Thank you! It is indeed very nice potty, I'm glad you like it too!
DzēstA comment on beco potty after using it for quite a while- you should really pay attention in taking care of it, meaning, not only rinsing, but also wiping it dry after each use. One of our becopotties has a crack right in the bottom of it.
AtbildētDzēstInstead of burrying it in the ground and composting I am opting for fixing it. Since our country side house is ongoing building and refurbishing process at the moment, I should be able to find both materials and help to fix the potty.
It doesn't matter that it's eco friendly and bio degradeable. The point is to fix things instead of throwing them out and buying new ones, right?
I got here much interesting stuff. The post is great! Thanks for sharing it! Biodegradable Nappies
