The debate is a fierce one in some circles and can cause anxiety and guilt among the more eco-leaning parents. In 2005, there was uproar when the UK government published research claiming “it was no more environmentally friendly to use reusable nappies than disposables”. A similar report three years later reversed these claims. Then a report found that, yes, biodegradable nappies do degrade, it can take up to 50 years and such products have been found to produce more methane, which is bad for the environment. How do you get the perfect fit to prevent leaks? I didn’t want to be unfair to Pura, so I decided to test the nappies throughout a day and night period for this review. This would give me a better understanding of how well they dealt with wet and dirty deposits, as well as during different times of the day.Brands may slightly differ when it comes to size and weights but most will follow the size guide below:

It’s easy to tell with bigger kids, but it’s not always so obvious with tiny babies. This is why many of the best nappies for newborns have a yellow line down the front of the nappy that will turn blue when the baby wees. It doesn’t change colour for poos, however, unless the baby has urinated at the same time. As some nappies are bulky to begin with, this wetness indicator can let you know when the baby has peed without having to strip him or her off. The nappies are super flexible around the waist and sport an elastic adjustment system that adapts to the size of your toddler for a more comfortable fit.

In fact, our nappy survey results have uncovered a top-rated brand that offers some of the cheapest nappies around, as well as expensive brands that left parents dissatisfied.

Each nappy can take hundreds of years to naturally degrade, so the sheer number of disposable nappies thrown away presents serious problems to the environment. This is particularly true when you consider that each baby could use more than 5,000 nappies before they are fully potty trained. When it comes to baby products, marrying ethics, value and effectiveness can be a difficult task, especially when it comes to disposable nappies. I tested the Pura range and this is what I found.

Pura Wipes

What did you like most about Pura’s nappies? I loved the fact that they were unscented and contained plant based fibres. My daughters nappy rash improved dramatically by using these nappies.
