The Best Disposable Diaper

The quest for the best diaper for my little one was a challenge. The first diaper used on my child (other than hospital provided one) was Huggies Pure and Natural. However, I couldn't find a size past Newborn anywhere I could search. I switched to the Kirkland brand diapers for cost effectiveness and then purchased the regular Huggies diapers when on sale. I then created an experiment of pouring water on both and seeing which one absorbs better and found that Huggies seemed better. So I made the switch to Huggies.
Then came my next revelation. I purchased a box of diapers that for some absurd reason had blue lining on the the INSIDE of the diaper. So I began researching about the dyes that are used on the diapers and discovered that some babies develop allergies. I did not want to be placing such chemicals near my baby's bottom. Amongst the research I also discovered that there's a bleaching process as well to get them the whitest. More chemicals.
My search led me to 3 diapers that use less chemicals.
My Number 1 favourite diaper is: Naty Diapers

• no perfume
• chlorine-free pulp
• the outer cover is chlorine free, no plastic and is GM free based corn film
• they also make pull-ups
• Very breathable due to lack of plastic
• price per diaper is better than Earth's Best
• the only one I found to be biodegradable
• the only downside is there is a very very small amount of print

My 2nd favourite diaper is: Earth's Best Diapers

• non-chlorine bleached materials
• contains natural absorbent materials such as corn and wheat
• latex-free, dye-free and perfume-free
• the only downsides to this diaper are accessibility as very few stores carry it (at least where I am), the price per diaper, is not as breathable as Naty and it is not biodegradable

My 3rd favourite is: Seventh Generation Diapers

• no fragrances
• no latex
• no petroleum-based lotions
• no chlorine
• it was the most readily accessible
• good price per diaper
• This was almost my favourite until I discovered that they use "pigment" to achieve the brownish colour of the diaper to make it look natural on both the inside and outside
• not biodegradable

There is another major point I'd like to make. As mentioned I stopped using Huggies and switched to these 3 at various times. However, I discovered that Huggies was the worst for leaks. I thought it was normal that I had to hurry as soon as my little one went to change the diaper asap to avoid leaks. My 3 favourites proved that you can have leak protection and have less chemicals and even be good to the environment. I did try on 2 occasions Pampers. It does also use a lot of dyes and chemicals but definitely had some positives over Huggies such as softer tabs and better absorption resulting in less likely hood of leaks.

Though the mentioned favourite diapers are definitely more expensive than Huggies and Pampers, you'll find the value worth it.
