Pampers: Pampers were able to absorb an overnight’s worth of pee well enough. Some times the diaper on the outside would be slightly damp but not enough to wet clothes. We were pretty impressed by the list of what is and is not in these diapers. Each one is made of totally chlorine-free processed wood fluff pulp, sustainably sourced to protect forests and animals. You also won’t find any lotions, fragrances or chlorine bleaching here. Like Mama Bear’s Plush Protection diapers, their Gentle Touch diapers offer up to 12 hours of leakage protection, and also feature a wetness indicator to show when a little one needs a change. Not only does this prevent your baby from becoming uncomfortable, but you won’t have to worry about your little one streaking across the beach as their soaking diaper eventually sags and slips right off.

One of your best options is the Free & Clear diaper line from Seventh Generation, which is specially designed to take care of your baby’s sensitive skin. This not only means making the diaper chemical-free but also upping the absorbency so that extra wetness won’t cause chafing and discomfort.For sizing options, both Mama Bears and Pampers diapers are available in newborn size (up to 10 lb.) to size 7 (above 41 lb.). Diaper rash can happen for all sorts of reasons, but it always leads to an unhappy baby. Caused by wet diapers, infrequent diaper changes, chafing, and skin sensitivity (1), diaper rash needs loads of TLC. If your baby’s skin is looking red and raw, it might be a good idea to find a chemical-free diaper that fits snugly and stays dry.

Mama Bear Gentle Touch diapers are also hypoallergenic and, unlike the Plush Protection variety, are completely free from chlorine bleaching and phthalates. Not quite sure what phthalates are? Let me explain…Essentially, phthalates are used in all sorts of household items, from vinyl flooring and wall covering to cosmetics and children’s toys. Some studies have shown that long-term exposure to this chemical could increase the likelihood of eczema and asthma in little ones and even affect genital development in boys. Suffice to say, it’s something to stay away from if you can! Before diving into costs, please remember that prices are dynamic and subject to change. These prices were last updated in December 2022 and this date is noted with each mention of price comparison. We suggest looking for a diaper with strong fasteners you can re-seal. That way, if you open up the diaper and find it can last a little longer, you can re-seal it without worrying about it falling off or coming undone. 3. Perfume Free
