Bambo NatureBaby Diapers Classic, Size 4 (15-40 Lbs), 30 Count

We switched to this diaper (size 1) when our baby was 3 weeks old after she started developing rashes on her bum that her previous fragranced diapers (Pampers Swaddlers size NB) seemed to be exacerbating.SIZINGThis seems to be one of the top concerns of prospective buyers, so will be as detailed as I can about it here. The Size 1 is marked as being for babies weighing between 4-9lbs. I cannot for the life of me imagine how a baby under 7 lbs (let alone a 4lb baby!) could fit this diaper. Unless this is like the diaper version of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, there is no way that range is possible.For reference: My baby was about 21" and 8.5lbs when we switched to this diaper. The Size 1 was HUGE on her, but the durability, absorption, softness and overall quality was unmatched, so we made it work until she grew into it.We also tried Honest Company, Whole Foods 365, Babyganics, and Naty brand diapers - all size NB. Of ALL these diapers, Bambo size 1 ran the largest (see my photo of all diapers side by side). It is about as wide as the Naty but 1/2 inch taller, and fit a bit looser than the Naty despite their seemingly similar dimensions because the Bambo material is relatively "flat" whereas the Naty was more "puffy."My baby is long for her weight, and the Pampers Swaddlers actually were the perfect fit for her proportions. The Babyganics and the Pampers Swaddlers had very similar proportions, but we still preferred the Bambo over the Babyganics because it was less stiff and felt more comfortable. The Babyganics was our backup diaper though, and still a fine diaper if you are specifically looking for an unscented eco friendly diaper that fits similar to Pampers Swaddlers.My baby is now 12lbs and 23" long and has been in the Size 1 from age 3 weeks - 9 weeks. She still fits Size 1, but just barely. Because she is starting to outgrow the Size 1, she has blow outs and leaks more frequently (probably 1 every 10 soiled diapers vs 1 out of 30-40 when it fit properly). She is still a little too small for the Size 2, but if our earlier experience is any indication, we should be fine letting her grow into the Size 2, and plan to switch to that size once we run out of Size 1s.Fit tips: You may need to attach the tabs as far as they will go to the front center panel to get a tight enough fit if your baby is lean. This might mess with the leg openings, so you may need to manually pull up the front sides to ensure the leg holes are snug. Finally, a good upwards tug on the back of the diaper when you're done never hurts anybody!QUALITYThere is little I can say that other reviewers and BabyGearLab (which is how I found this brand of diaper) have not already covered. I echo previous reviewers on the amazing absorption and quality of this diaper. It can easily absorb 2-3 big pees for overnight use. My baby is a powerful wet fart/pooping machine, and this diaper can contain all but her most explosive eruptions. It is also the softest, most comfy diaper I've seen so far. The elastic led ruffles are soft and stretchy. The interior is fabric like. The diaper does not chafe or leave lasting marks on my baby's skin.ECO FRIENDLINESSThis diaper is truly fragrance free and dye free, and the Abena/Bambo company is unbelievably transparent about their practices (check out their website for more info than you thought you could want on a diaper). I feel good about putting my baby in this diaper. Maybe not as good as I would using cloth diapers, but for a disposable it is pretty hard to beat.CAVEATS- Runs big (see SIZING section above and my comparison photo)- Pricey. As a breastfed newborn, my baby could easily go through 10+ diapers a day for the first few weeks, or 3 packs per week. Now she goes through 5-7 diapers a day, or 2 packs per week. Highly recommend using Subscribe and Save to keep the costs down, but even so, you may be paying anywhere from 15-30% more for Bambo vs other brand name or generic diapers. For me, the extra $15-$20 per month is doable, but I understand that may not be possible for everyone.Other than those two caveats, there is literally nothing I can find fault with in this diaper. Every baby bottom is different (and adorable!), but for us, this is the holy grail of diapers.

As first time parents, we received several different types of diapers from my husband's diaper party (man version of baby shower) and my baby shower. We have gotten Pampers (of course especially since hospitals send you home with them as well), Huggies, and some off brand types, but the ones we became most accustomed with are Pampers and Huggies. My baby did well with Pampers and here's what we loved about them: The blue strip indicator that appeared when our baby soiled the diaper (the CON to this is that you start to change the diaper more often then you really should. Sometimes you end up changing the baby sooner than he's ready because the blue strip just conditions you to change the diaper. "Blue strip? Oh! Time to change the baby!" When you do this he/she may not have been ready yet because he/she had to still poop. Because of the blue strip prompting a change, we've faced some more accidents than we would have liked. Anyway, we also liked the softness and flexibility of the material. What made us want to switch? The blue strip, though convenient, means more chemicals on the baby and we are a family that chooses to be environmentally conscious and also want to keep as much chemicals or unnatural components away from our baby as much as possible. We're not anal hippies, we're just informed. The next brand, Huggies. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WE LIKED ABOUT THEM. I knew from the start I wasn't going to like Huggies! Here's why: After three uses my baby had a reaction. The material feels like recycled cardboard mushed up with old newspaper which needless to say it's not soft at all! Moreoever, the front and back practically look THE SAME. I mean we're not stupid to not be able to tell the difference, but the front and back of the human anatomy are different people, so there should be some tailored fit don't ya think?! Huggies are not absorbant at all so the baby fusses almost right away for a change because it's so uncomfortable. Oh okay, wait, there IS ONE THING we like about the Huggies. It has a rim that goes up and around the baby's bottom to prevent any poop spilled up the back, but that's about all the benefit there is. Those up-the-back accidents only happen when the baby's bottom is held shut for when you're holding them wrong while theyre pooping anyway so those rims aren't super necessary.SO WHY DID WE SWITCH TO BAMBO NATURE AND WHY DO WE LOVE THEM?!!They're super soft and come with super cute and simple generic designs. No brand pushing agenda (peace out sesame street and disney). You can feel and see the quality of the material and we have had less diaper rash episodes with this diaper. The diapers are super stretchy and flexible so when you're wrapping it up with added dirty wipes and big messes to toss, the clasps will hold it as you wrap it all up into a ball. There aren't any indicators like a blue strip on whether there's a mess or not, but experienced parents will know when somethings going on down there or not without any visual indicators. So again, not super necessary. With the acception of Huggies that is; their material is so dang rough that you can't tell what the heck is going on inside there. Bambo Nature is easy to tell when there's a mess, but they're also extremely absorbant. It's kind of amazing. When our baby started to sleep through the night, we wouldn't know if the diaper was soiled until our baby woke up in the morning. We're still surprised how everything that happened through the night all held in the diaper without irritating our baby. So, should you give these diapers a try? Yes. Yes, indeed. Should you throw Huggies in the fire and never think twice about it? Yes. Yes, indeed.

I really like these nappies. I’ve used them in the US as well and the only annoying thing is that the two locations seem to have different designs on the nappy. The ones here in the U.K. are these awful huge bears and I don’t like them because they can be seen through light colored trousers. It’s really annoying and disappointing because the US ones aren’t that way. But on performance they are great and can’t fault them and would buy them again for that reason. Can also recommend to others. Soft and durable nappy.

Since bringing our little one home we've tried various eco nappies. We didn't want to expose her to the chemicals used in the more well known nappy brands, and the environment was an issue too. Of the ones we tried the main problem we had with them was leaking, especially of a night. With the Natty ones I was having to strip her down and change bedding on every nappy change in the nigt, sometimes 3 times a night. Then I read about these on a forum and ordered a sample. They are amazing. They are super soft for a start, far more so than any of the other disposable ones I'd tried. There's no nasty chemical smell to them or plastic. When we strip her down her skin isn't sticky or sweaty like it was when we tried a non-biodegradable nappy. We've had no nappy rash or signs of it while using them. They fit really well and there has been no leakage, even now she is going longer through the night, and she wees loads, so there is a lot to contain. Plus even when she's really soaked them, you can't feel it when you touch the nappy, so she stays happier for longer and they don't go really lumpy and uncomfortable like the other ones we tried. Really can not recommend them enough.Would also recommend Beaming Baby as a supplier, they have consistently delivered really quickly, If I order Monday night they've been delivered Wednesday morning, and you get a lovely sample pack of their organic products. Great service.

Unimpressed with these! Bought them due to being a bit more eco friendly than the usual nappies. Having to change 3 times during the night to avoid leaks, and even then that doesn't stop the leaks happening each time. Using the first size on my newborn who is 3kg. The only good thing about them is they don't give her Nappy rash if I make sure she's cleaned and dried properly. However, having to go through loads of these as absorbancy is terrible. Won't be purchasing again once we run out and now on the look out for something else.

Love these nappies. So soft, absorbent. Much nicer quality than the mainstream non eco friendly brands. Great for using before we transition to cloth.In my downside is the sizing is quite small compared to others and we've been left growing out quickly with a big surplus but i tried a few different ones and these were by far the nicest feel and kindest on my daughter's bottom.Only had leaks when my put on incorrectly or when needed to go up a size.My daughter slept through the night (breastfed) from 6 weeks and they held through, unlike pampers which we used with our first and would regularly have to change throughout the night and have leaks - not to mention the terrible environmental impact they have on landfill.Glad we changed.

The product quality is very bad. The one i bought from dubai is the green one which is excellent. The white one i bought is from Amazon... very poor quality pathetic.
