Pros
- Excellent absorption speed when fluid was gradually poured on a flat spot of the diaper
- Little-to-no fluid release when we applied weight to the wet part of the diaper
- Very good absorption speed when we pooled liquid in a cupped diaper
- Good absorbency when the diaper was at an angle
The Bambo Nature was the top "green" pick in our test. Although it's pricier, it uses FSC Certified wood pulp, is approved by the Nordic Ecolabel, and is transparent by listing all of the materials used in the diaper (which most green-marketed brands don't do). It had minimal runoff when we poured fluid on the diaper at a 45-degree angle, and excellent absorption speed when fluid was gradually poured onto a diaper laid flat. It also had very good absorption speed when we pooled liquid in a cupped diaper, and little-to-no fluid release when we applied pressure on the wet part of the diaper.
How We Tested: The Textiles Lab evaluated 32 disposable diapers. We tested the amount of runoff when we poured fluid onto each diaper at a 45-degree angle, and the speed of absorption when we poured fluid rapidly into cupped diapers, and gradually onto flat diapers. Each test was done on a dry diaper, then repeated with the same diaper to see if it could perform when already wet. We also reviewed each diaper's overall construction.
