Seventh Generation diapersWeb site:  seventhgeneration.com

Seventh Generation is another brand of chlorine-free disposable diapers with a thin design. The diapers have a cloth-like outer layer, reusable tabs, and are latex and fragrance free. Made of wood pulp, a polyolefin backing and a polyolefin outer cover, Seventh Generation also includes an absorbent polymer gel. They are careful to explain that the gel they use is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and non-irritating.

The company used to post material safety data sheets for their diapers, but we were unable to locate them on a recent visit to their site. However, they do explain extensively about their raw materials they use in their products. They claim to be the first ever FSC certified diaper in North America. FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council, a group focused on stopping deforestation around the world. They certify that raw materials like wood pulp (used by Seventh Generation to absorb wetness) come from “responsibly managed” forests. A reader also recommends the company’s wipes saying they are ”free of chemicals and full of good stuff for my baby’s skin.”

You can find these diapers online or in stores such as Whole Foods and Vitamin Cottage. On Amazon, 80 Stage 1 Seventh Generation diapers were 28¢ per diaper. Rating: A-
