Amazon.com Product Description
Nature Babycare Diapers are 100-percent chlorine-free and keep oil-based plastics away from babies delicate skin. Our absorbent pulp is from sustainably harvested Scandinavian forests and the patented center-channel means a less bulky fit while enhancing leak protection. Since we use 60-percent natural materials instead of plastic, our diapers are super soft and cloth-like providing comfort without sacrificing protection.

Leading the Way in Europe
Nature Babycare is a Swedish-based company founded by a pioneering mum 14 years ago who thought the world deserved a better diaper! Marlene Sandberg was appalled to learn that babies will produce half a ton of diapers every year. Half a ton! So she sought to create a range of award-winning diapers and baby products which are effective, price competitive, and environmentally friendly--making Nature Babycare products good for both babies and the environment. We are the trusted source for eco-friendly baby products among consumers and the green community. Nature Babycare is leading the industry in Europe by providing mum's with a high-performance diaper that is better for their babies and the environment.

Why We're Award-Winning
Our diapers and pull-on pants are over 60-percent biodegradable in contrast to major brands which are often composed of up to 80-percent oil-based products which do not decompose easily. Conventional diapers can take hundreds of years to decompose, but because of the high content of bio-degradable material, ours break down in a fraction of that time, meaning there's less need for landfill or polluting incineration. We keep oil-based plastics away from babies delicate skin and use natural, breathable corn-based materials instead. Our patented center-channel reduces the need for bulky absorbent material while enhancing leak protection. Nature Babycare Diapers are 100-percent chlorine-free, protecting the environment by not producing harmful dioxin pollution.

All of this combined minimizes diaper rash and other irritations so that your baby is healthy and happy! With features such as stretchy tabs and leg gatherings, a soft cloth-like feel, and non-bulky absorbent pulp, we've created an award-winning diaper that performs ahead of the rest. Our founding principle was to give mum's a high performance diaper that is better for their baby and better for the environment. We strive to use renewable materials whenever possible in all of our product lines. Nature Babycare Diapers offer the convenience of disposables with the most environmentally friendly attributes.

What Makes Us Unique
Other diapers can claim to be green but still use massive amounts of oil-based plastics. As a mum, our founder knew there had to be a better way to make diapers. That's why we've spent many years perfecting our diapers by eliminating as much non-biodegradable materials as possible while maintaining performance and comfort. We also use an absorbent pulp that is sustainably harvested out of Scandinavian forests. Our diapers are completely unbleached, contain no latex, fragrance, or TBT (tributyltin), and are hypo-allergenic.

As with any diaper, for maximum performance, when your baby reaches the upper limits of the weight class, we recommend that you switch to the next larger size.

Customer Reviews

High quality, "green" diaper, hard to find and a bit steep in price
We tried this diaper and were highly satisfied with its construction, fit, leak-protection, appearance, and environmentally-sound production and materials. However, there are drawbacks:
- The diaper is not reliably available at its best cost. Available for the lowest price at SOME Target stores, next cheapest with Amazon subscribe and save. We've found with some environmentally friendly diapers (even on Amazon) they are not always available and in the sizes you want.
- The diapers run small (at least in sizes 2 and 3), so that you have to move up to the next size (more expensive per diaper) before you might have to with other brands.
- The stretchy tabs are ok, but do not have the nice, stretchy side panels of other brands.
- The cost is pretty high. After considering the environmentally friendly attributes of differing diapering options and disposable brands and comparing those benefits to the cost per diaper -- this brand ranks (for us) below Natural Choice but above Seventh Generation diapers.

Given all factors, this diaper is not our current top choice. We use Natural Choice (when available) -- it's per-diaper cost is significantly lower, the fit is slightly larger (lasts longer), the stretchy side panels help it also to be tighter, and it also has many environmentally-friendly aspects.

P.S, We've determined to decrease our over-all diapering costs, increase our convenience, and mitigate our environmental impact by choosing environmentally sensitive disposables and combining their use with cloth diapering (after the baby has pooped for the day!).

the redesign made these diapers horrible
I was also a subscribe and save customer and loved these diapers until the last batch came with the redesign. Now my daughter who is only 23 lbs cannot fit into the size 4 diapers. They constantly fall off and out of her shorts so that she has no diaper on. The tabs break constantly or do not stick on the diaper so we can't use half or them... I hope they fix these back to their original design, because they were truly the best environmentally friendly disposable diaper prior to this redesign.

DON'T BUY! this was my favorite diaper until the redesign!!!!
When you read the positive reviews - keep in mind that they're for a totally different diaper - not the ones currently in production. I agree 100% with JJ's review - these diapers are terrible!

Up until the most recent shipment, I LOVED these diapers. I have used them for years with my now 3-1/2 year old (she's potty trained) and my 17 month old. They were super-absorbent and fit extremely well. I had no complaints whatsoever.

I recently received a new shipment of size 4's (the same size my daughter wears) - and they are just awful. The company changed the fit of the diaper - a size 4 (which was a little big, not leaky, but plenty of room) is NOT a size 4. It barely fits. And to make matters worse, they changed the tabs - more often than not my baby's diaper is completely off when she wakes up in the morning (and she wears a zipped up footie, so it's not even like she's pulling on it - it just comes off from rolling over.)

i am VERY frustrated and bummed. I have no idea what possessed the company to make these changes - but they wrecked their diapers and lost at least one customer. :(

Like I said, i loved these diapers before they changed them. I never write reviews, and I don't like starting with a negative one, but these diapers are a waste of money and you'll be cleaning your baby's crib, clothes, and your floor because of constant accidents.

I contacted Amazon and they gave me a refund.

***update: Nature Babycare has been extremely kind and responsive to my inquiry - it sounds like they are very aware of the problems that their design "improvements" have caused - and that they are solving the problem. They said that by mid to late Sept, a corrected version of this diapers should be available from Amazon. I'm going to be watching this board to see what people think........
In the meantime, I've tried out Earth's Best - and I LOVE them. They do seem to have a "chemical" smell when they get wet, though.....not so good.
