Review on Pampers Pure Protection Disposable Baby Diapers Size 3, Mega Pack - 27 Count, Hypoallergenic and Unscented (Old Version) by Jenny Thomas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally a healthier diaper with a great fit!

we've only been using them for a day so I can't comment on the performance yet but I couldn't find a review online so I wanted to give some info to those who are considering buying it . I use Honest diapers for my 4 month old baby and love the company and the product except the diapers fit. My baby is fat and I find their diapers very tight. This wasn't a problem at first, but as they got bigger their narrow fit resulted in more curvature and I found we had to wear them up a size to ensure a comfortable fit. The fit was still "wrong" and of course the size increase meant fewer diapers per pack which didn't make me happy. I've spent the past few weeks trying other brands hoping to find a better one. I really wanted to use a diaper made with as few toxic ingredients as possible. Unfortunately, most "eco" nappies fit like Honest nappies - tight, which I think is best for a long, skinny baby. I found that Seventh Generation, Babyganics, and Earth's Best share a similar shape. Earth's Best has proven to be particularly good in terms of absorption. So if you have a tall and skinny kid, you might want to try these. Discouraged by the fit of these other brands, I tried Huggies Little Snugglers and Pampers Gentle Care (FYI Gentle Care was P&G approved). like the same diaper as Sensitive Care, only available exclusively at Target). Both fit! However, size 3 and up huggies have those nasty double tabs attached to their diapers that can rub against a baby's thigh, causing serious irritation (check the reviewer's photos to see what I'm talking about). The Gentle Care Pampers are great and handle the mess well, but my baby developed a slight rash - his first ever - which was probably due to the smell. This increased my desire to use a diaper with healthier ingredients. I was willing to put up with the wrong diapers like Honest or Earth's Best when I stumbled across these brand new diapers and I'm SO glad I tried Pampers again. First reaction is that they are the same size and shape as Pampers Gentle Care (and regular Pampers nappies I think) and just as soft too. NONE of the eco-friendly diapers I tried were soft, so that's amazing! The print is cute but not overbearing and the inside is made of the same mesh lining as other pampers. So far I'm thrilled. If your baby is sensitive to the scent of Pampers, or you have a large baby but want to try healthier disposable diapers, I highly recommend you try them! I just hope Revain offers a subscription soon and saves as they are quite expensive compared to other diapers in this category - even slightly more expensive than Honest when bought in their monthly pack. See my photo for a visual comparison of this diaper to the Honest size. 4, Earth's Best size 4 (top row left to right) and Honest size 3 and Pampers Gentle Care size 3 (bottom row). The size 3 Pure Protection diaper is placed in the middle of the bottom row.

Pros
  • practical item
