Customer Review: Fantastic Buy - Great Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used a few different brands of diapers in my day, but I wish I had known about this brand before my three kids were potty trained... well, I'm not sure if they made it when my 25 year old was little. BUT, at least my granddaughter has the pleasure of experiencing the eco-friendly diaper for herself. She just loves using them up. ;-D
I hesitated to try these as I have tried "natural" items like these before (personal feminine items, shampoos, deodorants, etc. that just didn't work well...) But I was pleasantly surprised by this wonderful product. It is a very well made diaper. The baby has fewer blowouts in these diapers... On the rare occasions where we get caught without a diaper and have to borrow a "regular" diaper from someone who still buys Huggies or whatever, we always try to rush home to get our trusty 7th Generation diapers because we know if she goes, there won't be a mess. They are softer than I expected them to be for brown diapers. Keeps wetness away... they breathe well and she's has not had even one rash so far. And the thought of putting a diaper that has been processed with chlorine next to my sweet grandbaby's bottom... well, it's just unsavory. The only problem I've had with these diapers is keeping them stocked because my youngest daughter likes to swipe them to put on her dress-up teddy bear.
The price on Amazon is better than I can find anywhere, especially with the subscription rate of an extra 15% off to have it shipped automatically! If we have any leftovers when we switch to a larger size, we'll give them as shower gifts in a nice basket with some Burt's Bees and some other nice eco-friendly items... so they don't get wasted.

The "absolute horror" review scared us for a while, but other positive reviews convinced us to at least try these diapers. When we first bought Stage 1 diapers, we did find the elastic tabs to be too hard. When our baby started to kick more, the tabs did start to be a problem. They scratched his tummy once.
BUT now, Seventh Generation has fixed the problem. When we contacted customer service through their website, they were SOOOO nice to us! They replaced our old ones with new ones! This is the info they gave us:
For stage 1, any package with a lot number of 6157 or later, will have the new, softer, stickier tabs. For stage 2, it would be 6170. Those are the first 4 numbers of the lot #, meaning, made in 2006, the 157th day. The lot # is located on the side seam of the package, or on the velcro part of the tab. It took Amazon a while to get the new ones, but the last time we ordered, they finally had the new ones.
These diapers have no smell to them at all, and we don't mind the beige color. They are very thick and absorbent. The tabs are AWESOME, now! They stretch and are much softer, so they don't scratch our baby. Also, he doesn't get diaper rash with these diapers. When we switched to another brand for a bit (until they resolved the problem), we were blown away by the "baby powder"scent of the other diapers and missed the Seventh Generation elastic tabs. The other brand also leaked more often and gave our baby diaper rash. We couldn't wait to switch back to Seventh Generation.
Soon, we will move on to Stage 3. Thanks, Seventh Generation, on behalf of me, my wife, and our little one!
Customer Review: What a mess!

In my experience with these diapers, I was extremely disappointed. I purchased them because I wanted to be "green" and use an earth-friendly product on my baby. Unfortunately, the way these diapers are manufactured has me running back to Pampers. I felt that the diapers had an unnatural fit on my baby's body. The backs ran extremely high and the securing bands bunched and kinked on the legs. With an infant at the lower end of the weight requirements, I couldn't understand how a baby could wear them six pounds heavier the way the bands attached. In addition, the inside of the diapers do not have anything to draw moisture away and into the diaper. We experienced several incidents when bowel movements literally ran out of the diaper because of lack of absorption. It started to feel like we were being more wasteful resulting from extra laundry from soiled clothing and changing pads, and more trash from cleaning up where the accident took place. I started to feel anxious putting light colored clothes on my baby for fear that another leaking mishap would stain yet another outfit. I would also be leary about the manufacturing of the product itself. In our bulk shipment, two of the four packages had diapers that had sections that had not been closed properly and cotton was exposed on the front and back of the diaper. I'm very disappointed with this product and regretfully will retreat back to the diapers we were using before.Customer Review: Cloth is best. These are better than most diposables.
Summary: 3 Stars
I like the Seventh Generation diapers the best out of all disposable
diapers. The reason I am giving this product only 3 stars is because other than the fact that they are made without using clorine they are still not biodegradable or made with recycled content. Coming from a company that boasts its concerns with the planets well being for the next seven generations, I just don't think that this is enough. Therefore I have switched mainly to cloth diapers and only use these when I am travelling or need to do a load of diapers. I have twins and believe me, we go through a lot of diapers. Buying this product on Amazon is the best because of the free shipping, the great price and I don't have to drag my 6 month old twins and my 2 year old out to the grocery store.
BTW my son just got potty trained!!!. 3 in diapers was a little much.lolSeventh Generation Chlorine Free Diapers, Stage 4 (22-37 Lbs), 34-Count Packages (Pack of 4) (136 Diapers)
Customer Review: Great Green Diaper
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using Seventh Generation diapers on my 4-month-old son almost exclusively since he was born. I did not like the idea of harsh chemicals being up against his sensitive skin, so these were an obvious choice. I have not been disappointed with their performance at all. Yes, he does leak if they have been on all night, but no more than the Huggies he wore when we ran out of the SG for a few days. They seem very comfortable and fit him very well. I am giving them 4 stars because they do leak sometimes, but honestly, it's totally worth the extra diaper change knowing that I'm protecting my child in whatever ways I can from toxic chemicals.
I am a firm believer that parents must educate themselves on what to put in and on their children's bodies. Babies can't read labels and they depend on us to do what's best for them. I do not put anything on my son that I don't know the ingredients for, I follow the same standard for his diapers.
