Seventh Generation Diapers Review & Giveaway!

 

Have you tried Seventh Generation diapers before?  I have seen them in stores before, but finally just now tried them for Calla this week and really liked them!  I was sent a package for the purpose of having Calla try them out, give my opinion in this review, and then give my readers and friends a chance at winning a pack to try on their sweet kiddo!  So, I'll give my review first, then giveaway details at the end of this post.

What's Different about these Diapers?

Seventh Generation Free & Clear Diapers are different from other brands, because they are free of chlorine, fragrances, latex and petroleum based lotions.  The company makes efforts to keep them thinner to reduce landfill waste, as well as the packaging being smaller to reduce waste.  In their efforts to protect the environment, they ensure than no chlorine is released into the environment in the making and processing of the diapers. 

My Experience

When I received my package and opened them up, the first thing I noticed (and loved) was that they are a simple off-white color (Calla calls them "khaki") with no characters or designs.  While this might be a silly observation, I tend to be a little frustrated by Calla's character-loud diapers that she wears underneath her church dresses!  I love that it is neutral and coordinates with her outfits.  Okay, aside from that, I was surprised at how well they fit Calla.  They have very sturdy straps that do not tear when you pull on them, they have a thin feel, and good texture.  We experienced no leaks, and their absorbency was great for Calla's needs.  I really did like that there were no chemicals or fragrances that might possibly be on her skin.  Calla is not prone to rashes, but her baby brother is, so I could see these diapers being very helpful for his sensitive skin!  The only negative thing I can think of at all is the price compared to cheaper brands.  I tend to buy whatever diaper I have  a coupon for.  However, I do see the brand's benefits as worth a little extra money, especially if they help keep unneeded chemicals off of baby's skin.  I do appreciate that I often see coupons for Seventh Generation products, and now I will be looking out for coupons and buying these if I can!
