Bambo and the Environment

What’s an environmentally conscious company to do? To help minimize impacts on the environment and our health, Abena, the manufacturer of Bambo Nature, has voluntarily elected to undergo strict, rigorous environmental inspections of their products.

This means all raw material suppliers, business partners, distributors, and subsidiaries must embrace these principals and actively take them on board in daily business practice. Abena and their raw material suppliers have been independently tested and successfully have complied with a number of strict conditions regarding the environmental impact of their products. Abena’s Bambo nature is the only Baby Diaper in the world with a certified Eco-label; called the Nordic Swan Eco-label.

My Take-Even though I typically use cloth diapers on Gracie from Sunday through Friday, at night but on Saturdays and trips, I do use Eco- friendly diapers. These diapers come in 5 sizes and are also available by the case. When you purchase over $50 y ou automatically get free shipping which the route I chose. They do run a bit large so I would suggest to choose your child’s size carefully. Gracie is 17 months now and weighs 31 pounds and with the size 4 maxi being 26-48, I thought I would go ahead and get size 5 which is for 33-55 lbs. These are great for overnight, and for going on outings when cloth is too much trouble for some. 

They have easy to adjust fasteners that I was able to open and close as many times as I needed to. Sounds simple enough but I have tried compostable disposables before and I was not able to do this without it fraying quite a bit. When they would fray Gracie would start pulling at the threads. 

Not one diaper tab tore from me stretching them too much. Yes, I have had that happened to me as well. It's pretty frustrating when you are changing a wiggle worm, get her diaper ointment on, diaper placed to only have the tab rip right off from the diaper. Grrr!

The flexible side panels stretched enough to make up for them being a little too big for Gracie without leaving marks on her chubby little thighs.

What it did have that other Eco-friendly diapers I have tried didn’t have was a wetness indicator. I would think that the size of the diaper on the front helps if you have more then one child in diapers and need to find the right size that fits each.
They are pretty soft, not stiff at all. I’m sure Gracie appreciates that too :) I know for sure that she likes the little bear, duck and butterflies that are across the top on her size. Since she has a little muffin top, she would raise her belly up to point to them and smile real big while naming the ones she could. BONUS-they are absorbent without all the gel that most other diapers use. This is a huge one for me. When we were blessed with Gracie many gave us disposable with Dry Max and they actually ended up causing her little bottom breakouts/tiny blisters. As you can guess, I felt like a terrible parent. It was a hard lesson for me to learn but I never went back to any of those or the others again. I stuck with Eco-friendly diapers all the way until she turned 6 months. That is when I started using cloth more. 

These diapers by Bambo Nature are now my go to disposable diaper not only because of the diapers features, but also because of the company.

Good news!
