This is a bit of a read but stick with me because if you’re reading this then you’re likely a parent of achild in diapers or maybe expecting your first. If that’s the case then it will be worth your time.First – I think this is the first review I’ve ever written on Amazon. I read a ton of them (like everyone) buthaven’t felt the inspiration to ever write one until now.My daytime job is in wound care, so helping people with chronic wounds caused by burns, infection,trauma, or many other underlying medical conditions. I think this gives me a bit of a unique perspectivewhen evaluating diapers. My 24-hour a day job is parenting our amazing 11 mo. old. (who onlyhappened after years of IVF…but that’s a story for another day).Probably not surprisingly, when we started researching diapers my number one priority was the healthof our kiddo’s skin. So this made me ask 2 questions:1) How quickly does the diaper remove moisture from the part of the diaper in contactwith the skin?2) How breathable (aka “natural”) are the materials used to make the diapers are.Let’s start with the second point…To say that there is a lot of “greenwashing” (if you haven’t heard this word before, look it up.Very interesting) going on with baby diapers is a huge understatement. When I went down therabbit hole that is researching “eco-friendly diapers” I discovered an entire world wherebasically everyone says theirs is the best and the most eco-friendly and have laboratory testingto prove it and they’re all splitting hares (see what I did there) on the details of each individualmaterial. Then you have tons of eco-friendly blogs that review the diapers, but they seem likethey’re being paid to do it. Bottom line – diaper brands aren’t legally required to disclose whattheir diapers are made of, and everyone says theirs are the most pure so there’s no way to becertain which one really is the most eco-friendly.With than in mind, much of my reasoning why Terra is the best option here is empirical becauseit’s basically impossible to prove so take it with a grain of salt... 1) The company is based in NewZealand. It just seems like culturally New Zealand isn’t as profit-driven as we are. I also reallylike that they’re legit with their claims… 2) They say they’re 85% plant-based when some othersmake claims of 100% this or 0% that. Why would you say you’re 85%, which is clearly less thanothers, unless you were refusing to play the greenwashing game?Back to the first point…This is where they really sold me and the main reason we’re investing (because let’s face it,these are NOT the cheapest option) in our baby’s skin and diapers. I saw a video on Insta fromsomeone I follow, Jamie Grayson, where he did an actual physical side by side test of how muchliquid each eco-friendly diaper holds and how QUICKLY the top layer of each diaper dried out. Icould not believe how quickly the top layer of the Terra dried out vs all the others. It wasliterally dry in seconds whereas the other ones were all still wet when the test was done. I don’tknow why more people aren’t talking about this because it’s SUCH a critical aspect of keepingskin healthy and avoiding diaper rash and bacteria growth that is common when a baby sits intheir wet. This was all I needed to see as a wound care specialist to stop looking, but for moreproof just google “moisture and diaper rash mayo clinic” to see what I mean. On top of that,the amount of liquid that the Terra absorbed was waaay more than the others. They talk aboutthis on their Amazon page but the video was way more impactful and it was crazy to see. Sincewe started using them, we’ve had 2 leaks (but both were because my husband was still workingon his diaper changing skills!) and critically, ZERO cases of diaper rash.Bottom Line -In my opinion, Terra is hands down the winner when it comes to the health of our baby’s skin.Hope this was helpful!

By far the best diapers and hold up very well! My daughter who sleeps through the night doesn’t have leakage with this diapers. Very happy with them!

First off, these are amazing diapers. They are probably the best we have used so far for our baby. They are a little on the expensive side but are 100% worth it. We use these as nighttime diapers and they have never once leaked or allowed any urine through.Reason for 4 stars is because of Amazon, they were shipped just in the manufacture packaging and wherever they were stored at the warehouse one of the batches smelt as though it was covered in rat/mouse urine! Brought this up to Amazon and they were zero help. They wanted me to send them back? I told them I tossed the entire package immediately so guess I’m just out the money on that order. SoBe careful buying from Amazon on this one.

Love these ! If I start to run low I just make sure to have enough for nights and sub a cheaper brand during the day

I love the commitment to plant-based materials, and they feel soft and gentle on the skin. However, they don’t hold up as well overnight or during heavy use. Great for daytime, but not the most reliable overall.

Absolutely love, love the diapers. Incredibly absorbent, keeps my baby happy. I will continue to use them! Im constantly checking my baby’s diaper but I have never had a rash to worry about.

Have not been sent the right quantity once and now I’m being harassed by Amazon to return diapers I never received in the first place or I’ll be charged twice! I have wasted an enormous amount of time trying to get this sorted out.

It says that these have a witness indicator but they do not. I thought maybe it was a flawed diaper but none of the diapers had a wetness indicator that showed up. Rating this 2 stars based on that false advertising because this is an important factor for me when comparing diapers.
