Disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. All opinions are my own.
We had to stop using cloth diapers a few months ago due to irritation that just wouldn’t go away despite trying every suggestion I was given. Our little guy isn’t ready to potty train just let, though, which isn’t surprising due to his special needs. Unfortunately, though, finding truly eco-friendly disposable diapers is hard, and it was hard to feel good about using them. Recently I had the chance to review Bambo Nature Premium Diapers.
I received both a Size 5 and Size 6 for review.
One thing I really like about Bambo Nature is they aren’t “all hype.” They have put their diapers through tests and carry multiple credentials, verifications, certifications, and eco-labels – more than any other brand! I was sent extensive information that is absolutely impressive. They truly put a lot of work into making a disposable diaper that is better for babies AND the environment. You can read more about how Bambo is good for the environment. While you are there be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page to read their Total Quality Management policy from the diapers to the packaging!
Bambo Nature is the only company that is certified 100% free of dangerous chemicals and all known allergens. I know it takes a lot to get those certifications, so that says a lot to me about the company. The diapers are also designed to prevent or significantly reduce the chance of rash. Given our issues as of lately, this was a big point for me. Since our little guy has Sensory Processing Disorder he is very sensitive to rash and irritation, which is why we had to make a switch. Knowing the Bambo Nature diapers can also help prevent or reduce the chance of rash is really important!
So how ARE the diapers?
I found Bambo Nature to be everything they say they are. I already knew the ingredients prior to the review, so I already knew they “passed my approval.” Just the fact that they actually disclose all of their ingredients is nice because it doesn’t leave anything to question. Some eco-conscious consumers may be surprised that they are white because we are often told eco-friendly diapers cannot be white. This is true if they used a “standard” bleaching process. They use environmentally safe ingredients and processes, though, for both the diaper and even the cute prints. They contain all raw ingredients and no optical brighteners.
They truly are trim, and we had absolutely no issues with leaking or poor absorption. In fact, they hold up better than most of the other diapers we have used! The elastic is both strong and flexible, absorption is great, and the fit is nice. Our little guy has thin legs, and that was not a problem at all. They held up great for our rough and very active preschooler! I really like how wide the elastic is because it just feels more secure. A problem I was having before is I’d actually rip off the tab (at which point he would laugh at me! haha), but I definitely didn’t have that problem with the Bambo Nature diapers. In fact, they’re so secure you’d have to be pulling REALLY hard for that to happen.
I think our son’s favorite part is the tiger on the size 6 diapers. He loves it! The size 5 just have a little teddy bear across the top, so that print wasn’t as exciting to him. I just love that they don’t use inks that aren’t based on heavy-metal-containing pigments to make them!
Bambo Nature offers everything we have been looking for in a disposable diaper! They are TRULY eco-friendly, they are secure and fit great, and they absorb! Although I do hope our 3 year old will potty train soon, I am happy to finally have found a good diaper until then! Not to mention, I was excited to see they also offer Training Pants for when he is ready to potty train! They have a great array of eco-friendly products on their site and offer free shipping on orders over $50! I definitely understand why they are rated the #1 eco-friendly diaper!

How nice to find a true eco-friendly diaper! I wish I had known about these when the girls were in diapers. We cloth diapered, but would use disposables when we went on trips or long car rides.
I learned that these products are made in Denmark and that they leave a much lower eco footprint than traditional diapers.
I like that their diapers are 100% equal to traditional disposable diapers in every way.
I learned they are 100% guaranteed to absorb.
no health or enviroment risks
I like that they are thin! There is nothing I hate more than putting a bulky diaper on my little one :/
