Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Diapers

1. BabyGearLab

Review Credibility: Excellent In lab tests of 20 disposable diapers, Seventh Generation Free & Clear diapers rank 13th. Testers say the diapers offer good fit and comfort, and they like the recycled-material packaging and chlorine-free, latex-free, fragrance-free materials. They also like that the company gives back to charity, but say the diaper is outclassed by competitors on absorbency -- it scores just 2 out of 10 in that category.

Review Credibility: Very Good Seventh Generation Free & Clear diapers earn 4 out of 5 stars in just over 245 reviews on Amazon.com. Reviewers like the diaper's "gentler" materials and say they are a good happy medium for people who don't want to cloth diaper. Most say fit and absorbency is good, and many report that diaper rashes went away when they switched to this diaper. However, some reviewers say absorbency is poor and the elastic is too loose to contain messes. Others dislike the price and warn that these are not suited for overnight use.

Review Credibility: Very Good In a thorough review, natural-parenting blogger Vanessa Pruitt praises Seventh Generation Free & Clear diapers for being chlorine- and perfume-free, but says the tan dye added to the diapers is "sneaky." She says the diapers run small and are less absorbent than other disposables, and finds that the elastic doesn't hold up well.
