Needs Work
We have used the 7gen diapers in sizes 2-4 for quite sometime and have been pleasantly satisfied with its performance on our older kid (see past review). With our new arrival and 7gen now making the N size we got a case of them instead of Pampers Swaddlers as we did with the last kid. Big mistake! Constant !@#$ leaks! The 7gen just don't fit well. They lack enough elasticity and shape. The fit is really baggy. We all know how newborn poop is and it ain't forgiving like older kid poop. There is no cord cut out. They definitely aren't as soft as Pampers Swaddlers. I want to do what I can to save the environment but having to do extra laundry because of diaper leaks isn't the way. For those apologists that say "all diapers leak, at least you are helping the environment" I don't think have really tried these diapers. ALL diapers don't leak. I haven't met a parent that would stand for a diaper that consistently leaks. We all know it is a terrible experience for us and most importantly the baby. 7gen can make them better especially since the only "green" difference is that they didn't bleach the diapers with chlorine. They still use the same crystalline absorbancy material. Don't let them off the hook. The basic technology is the same the execution is lacking.
Great company, but stage 6 dipes are no good!
Unfortunately, I have to give these only two stars. It would be one, but the fact that Seventh Generation is a great company overall earns them one bonus star.
I wrote a glowing review for the Stage 1 diapers (check it out and vote it helpful if you like it!). I also found stages 2-4 to be quite good.
But around Stage 5, leakage started becoming a big problem. The bigger the baby got, and the more he started to pee, the more these dipes started leaking! :-(
We're potty training our 28-month old now, so he generally doesn't wear diapers during the day, but he does at night. He cannot wear these overnight, or he will wake up soaked and uncomfortable in the morning. In contrast, he is always dry and comfortable with equivalent Pampers diapers. So that's why the two stars; there are brands out there that keep the baby dry all night, and 7th Generation stage 6 simply doesn't.
I think if your child is still wearing diapers all day, and you change them frequently, these could be a good buy. But I would strongly recommend against trying to use these overnight.
Do buy other 7th Generation products though! The paper towels, tissues, dish soap, laundry soap, and napkins are all great!
Wanted to Love these
I REALLY wanted to love these diapers!! We have been using seventh generation since birth & have had tons of problems. 1st let me say that I like the idea of "chlorine free"; however keep in mind they are still disposable & still contain plastic & gel. Before I really did my research I thought I was doing right by my baby & the environment. Now I realize that in some ways you could make an argument that these may be slightly better for both; however when you consider the drawbacks, in my experience, not really. Next, while I have not had any urine leaks with these I have had TONS of stool leaks (over months!!!). Now, I thought that it was my baby (not user error as I have diapered way more than my share of babies!) until I tried some other diapers (both disposable & cloth), & realized it was the diaper. We have only had only a few non leaking stool diapers, even when I change my baby immediately!!! Now factor in the extra wipes & extra laundry & products needed for stains am I really helping the environment or my baby (not to mention my wallet!!!!!)?
I laugh as everyone who sees these on my baby refers to them as the "organic diapers", while a nice image, this is very inaccurate! I am not trying to slam seventh generation as I have respect for the company; I am just really disappointed with this product. I hope they will continue their efforts & maybe redesign these diapers to make them more effective & eco-friendly. Till then; I must abandon this product!
Hope you find this helpful!
