Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Baby Diapers, Stage 4 (22-37 Lbs.), Case of 120 Diapers [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging]

I really wanted to like these. In fact, I'm moving abroad and I bought 3 boxes (like 500 diapers) and put them in the ship, before trying them. Just because of the good reviews. Big mistake.
I've been using pumpers sensitive since baby was born, but always wanted to give these a try. Well, I ordered 160 diapers in size 2 (same size I was using on pumpers) and they are way smaller! I'm shocked only one other review said tehy run a bit smaller. They look like the pumpers size 1. My baby is maybe 14 pounds now and we are having major blowouts. I don't know what am I going to do with the 140 diapers I have left. They would probably be OK if they were bigger.

I think most people buy these diapers for two reasons: They work, and are environmentally friendly. They do work fine, but are certainly not environmentally friendly. Here's a FAQ on Seventh Generation's website: "Just like most disposable diaper designs in the marketplace, Seventh Generation diapers are not biodegradable, nor can they be composted. Many of the materials used are synthetic, and do not biodegrade." Hence Seventh Gen feels it's okay to be just like all the other companies that put profit first, disregarding the negative environmental impact of their products. They are selling two things: the product, and the image of caring for the environment. 1 star for not living up to their sales pitch.

These diapers are great and I really love that they are chlorine-free. They are absorbent and fit well. The only thing is that they seem to make my son's back a bit itchy. I constantly see him scratch where the elastic hits his skin, but only when he wears these diapers. I'm still on the search for a great green diaper that is a good blend of absorption and comfort. Earth's Best are up next...we'll see how those work out.

I recently fell in love with the Seventh Generation countertop spray and decided to give their diapers a shot now that my son is outgrowing the super soft swaddlers that we've used up until now. We LOVE them! The construction is amazing - elastic at the back and tightly crafted leg openings contain spills. They are a nice, clean off-white with no cheezy characters which appeals to my critical eye. Best of all - my son loves them and they've stood up to his very active diaper "tests". Just as good, it is reassuring that they're safe for his little body!

These diapers are adequate but do not offer the absorbency of Pampers. I still use them because my daughter is allergic to something in the Pampers. Also, they smell really bad when they are soiled (more so than regular diapers)not enough to keep me from using them, but beware: they will not go all night (5-6 hrs) without a change.
