Amazon.com Product Description

All-Natural Natural Comfort for Your Child
Seventh Generation Chlorine-Free Diapers are made with your baby and your environment in mind. The chlorine-free materials and absorbent polymers used in the diapers help keep your baby dry in between changes and through the night. In addition to being effective at keeping baby dry and reducing the risk of diaper rash, studies show that the absorbent polymer used in the diapers is non-toxic and non-irritating to baby's sensitive skin.

Hypo-allergenic and offering soft, cloth-like comfort and premium absorbency, these diapers are made of chlorine-free absorbent materials that do not contribute to dioxin pollution. They feature super-stretchy resealable closure tabs and super-stretchy leg gathers that work to provide your baby with a comfortable, safe, close-fitting thin diaper.

Why Does Chlorine-Free Matter?
Your choice of our chlorine free diapers could help reduce cancer rates. Your choice of chlorine-free diapers helps reduce the amount of dioxin polluting our air, water and soil, and helps make the world a safer, healthier place for your family and generations to come.

When chlorine and chlorine derivatives are used in industrial processes (such as bleaching paper and wood pulp), they produce substances called chlorinated hydrocarbons, which persist in the environment, accumulate in animals and people, and can be toxic to human and environmental health. The production of chlorine can also release the toxic metal mercury into the environment.

If every household in the U.S. replaced just one 40-count package of conventional diapers with these chlorine-free diapers, we could avoid 133,000 pounds of pollution from entering the environment.

Customer Reviews

Great Diapers - good for baby
I love these diapers. When I first opened up a free sample of these diapers given to us at a childbirth education class, I gasped, knowing that I had bought a few cases of these diapers -these are unbleached diapers, which means that they're not white - they're a natural tan color. A friend also bought a package of these for me for use in a baby shower game, and when she opened the package, she gasped, too! Once you get past the initial reaction to their appearance, you'll likely love these diapers and won't switch to anything else. We used up the newborn pampers given to us by the hospital which I didn't like because they smelled like artifical fragrance, and we tried a store brand when we ran out of our Seventh Generation diapers, and they didn't work nearly as well. Seventh Generation's diaper is roomy and holds quite a bit of pee/poop, so you rarely have to deal with a blowout - which is quite worth the slight additional cost. Besides, if you buy these on Amazon by the case, the cost is comparable to buying regular store brands, but you're getting a better product! Another great thing about these diapers is that they don't have any sesame street or other commercial characters on them - I like to keep my kid away from as much of that subliminal marketing as I can, for as long as I can - and the natural tan color looks cute! Aside from the scratchy tab problem addressed in other reviews and which Seventh Generation is working to fix, these are a near-perfect disposable diaper!

Update: Seventh Generation fixed the scratchy tab problem right after I wrote this review. They're now soft and effective. Thanks!

Cost Cutting Redesign
The new design of these diapers has probably only improved the product's profit margin, not my baby's gluteal comfort and hygeine. We agree with the other reviews listed here: we miss the old style.

The new style is thinner, has leaked (the old ones never did for us), and now they leave little gel beads on the baby (like other, cheaper varieties) where the old style never did. Odor is also much more apparent when the baby is wet - the old style was much better at keeping smells in.

We were happy to pay the premium on the five-star-worthy older style, but we've been much less loyal now that they're so similar to other mainstream brands we can get at the local megamart.

No more nasty diaper rash
We started using 7th Generation diapers when my now 16 month old son was 6 months old. He developed a nasty nasty diaper rash at 4 months old that took us over 2 months and $300 to clear up. After much trial and error it was determined he has a chlorine sensitivity. 7th Generation diapers are some of the few on the market that do not contain chlorine. "Mainstream" diapers such as Pampers, Huggies and Luvs all leave my son's bottom flame red after just a few hours' wear.

The old style of the 7th Generation diapers were stiff and had no movement to them, thus causing night time leaks on several occasions. I thought it was just something I and my son were going to have to live with. Since switching to the new style, we've only had one leak, and that was due to a diaper not being properly fastened. The new style seems just as absorbant to me. My son sleeps through the night so is in a diaper for up to 12 hours at night. We also have no problems during the day with leaks. I also like that the new style is stretchy like the "mainstream" diapers. Perhaps not every kid is as mobile as mine, but he needs a diaper that will stretch and move with him. The old style was uncomfortable for him and bunched up with his constant movement.

The only reason why I didn't give this five stars is that I, too, notice some gel residue on my son, especially in the morning. Also, while we don't have problems with the diaper coming unfastened, I do have to make sure before I redress my son that the diaper is fastened well. The hook and tab closure is not as strong as I would like.
