Product Description
Natural Choice diapers take an innovative environmental approach while incorporating super premium diaper quality. Natural Choice diapers respect your baby's skin, perform like a super premium diaper, and offer a competitive price. Like the highest quality premium brands, Natural Choice offers a stretch waist, full-stretch side panels, premium absorbency (with a bio-based absorbent) and a design-printed backsheet. But the environmental impact of Natural Choice diapers is very different from leading national brands. Approximately two-thirds of the materials used in the leading diaper brands are synthetic and are derived from non-renewable resources. The production of these materials consumes valuable petrochemical resources and in some cases creates adverse environmental impacts. Natural Choice Diapers are designed to reduce the environmental footprint created the the production and consumptiono of disposable diapers. Unlike most diapers, the absorbent padding material in Natural Choice diapers is totally Chlorine-Free. Dioxins and organochlorides are not released into the air or water. Natural Choice diapers also use less synthetic gel material in the absorbent core by blending an innovative bio-based absorbent matieral with traditional absorbent gel material. Finally, the backsheet and topsheet of Natural Choice diapers contain 50% plant-starch based Ingeo (TM) fiber, an annually renewable resource.

Natural materials reduce use of petrochemicals
Natural Choice's environmentally-sensitive diaper uses backsheet and topsheet nonwovens that contain 50% Ingeo Fiber.
What is Ingeo™?
Ingeo™ fiber is made from polylactide, a revolutionary new naturally derived material that comes from 100% annually renewable resources not oil. Ingeo represents the lowest carbon footprint polymer available in the world today. The entire manufacturing process from field to polymer uses 68% less fossil resources than comparable petroleum plastics.
Natural Choice's environmentally-sensitive Diapers use 20-30% LESS petroleum based materials and 30-40% MORE sustainable materials than the leading brands. If 10% of the disposable diapers in the U.S. were environmentally-sensitive Diapers, it would reduce the consumption of petrochemical based materials by more than 20 million pounds.
Customer Reviews
A Natural Alternative
My wife and I have two children. Through our own experimentation and by talking with others, we've found that it's not necessary to buy the most expensive diaper for your child. In fact, with our daughter, White Cloud worked excellent. We had very few problems with those diapers. Our eight-month old son has a shape that works best with Huggies. I was anxious to try out these Natural Choice diapers to see how they'd work with him.
The shape of these diapers fit my son very well. They are longer and more narrow than most average diapers and have a slimmer build to them, which allows my son a lot more freedom with his little legs. The tabs aren't as forgiving as those on Huggies or some other brands, but they do fit my son well. As far as the wet stuff is concerned, Natural Choice holds up just fine. We've experienced only one leak so far and that was during the night, when his diaper isn't changed as often. The poop factor hasn't let us down at all. Although my son hasn't had any major explosions in these diapers, he has been known for some fairly large loads (if you know what I mean). It's all been held in place so far.
Of course, most people who purchase these diapers will do so with the whole environmentally friendly tag in mind. Like many other reviewers have stated, I'm always very leary of products that make the eco-friendly proclamation due to the fact that this usually equals low quality. Natural Choice is a nice exception to the rule. The quality of these diapers was much more than expected. The claims of Natural Choice are that they are made with chlorine-free pulp, and bio-based absorbent materials that "reduce use of petroleum based gels."
Whether or not these diapers have that much of an impact on the environment, I cannot deny their quality. I will buy more of these diapers in the future and recommend them to parents with little ones in the home.
excellent
almost all of my reviews have been of books. these diapers, however, merited review. they compare with other major brands, being a couple cents per diaper more than others. they certainly fit better and offered both more security and the snaps seemed more comfortable. i drive my trash to the dump and i'm shocked at how much trash 4 of us generate each week. any time that i can reduce the amount of trash or any time that a diaper can be more biodegradable, i'm for it. this is an excellent choice that i'd fully recommend.
Great absorbant diapers - especially if you have a boy!
I found these diapers at a military commissary and ever since then have been ordering them from Amazon. Pampers are so thin and leaked through, and if they didn't, my baby had a very wet bottom. Huggies are even worse. Now that Natural choice has redesigned their diapers with better elastic/closures, their diapers are even better. They have extra absorption in the front which is great for boys. My baby is so much more dry and comfortable. The only time I had a leak was when my nanny didn't put the closures on tight enough and the diaper was loose. Considering how often I had to change pampers and huggies, these actually end up being more cost effective. Also Natural Choice diapers are softer than 7th Generation diapers.
