Over the last ten years I have tried a lot of nappy brands! Having 5 children with all with sensitive skin it’s been trial and error to get a nappy that doesn’t bring them out in a rash. Eco by Naty disposable nappies were one of the first brands I tried over ten years ago with my first baby, back when they were Naty by Nature Babycare. I mainly used cloth nappies with my first baby but found disposables to be more convenient for night time, holidays and days out.
For various reasons I haven’t used cloth nappies with my youngest two children. I use supermarket nappies as it is convenient to buy them when I am doing the weekly food shopping. I was pleased to get the opportunity to try Eco by Naty nappies again recently when they sent me some to review.
About Eco by Naty
Eco by Naty are a Swedish brand founded in 1994 by a corporate lawyer turned ecological entrepreneur who wanted to create a disposable nappy that wouldn’t have a detrimental effect on the Swedish environment. As well as selling biodegradable and environmentally friendly nappies, Eco by Naty now produce a whole range of products including baby wipes, nappy pants and skin care.
The nappies are made from natural and renewable material. The cornstarch film is naturally breathable which helps to prevent nappy rash. The wood pulp which is the main absorbent in the nappy is FSC certified. The nappies are free from chlorine, latex, TBT and fragrance. They have numerous certifications including one from the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association.
Eco by Naty Disposable Nappies
I loved Eco by Naty nappies when I first tried them ten years ago but they have definitely improved. They are soft and fit Baby Girl perfectly. They are just as absorbent and comfortable as our usual nappies both during the day and at night. I will be honest, I expected them to leak overnight. Baby girl sleeps for 12 hours at night and our usual brand of nappy occasionally doesn’t last that long. I was pleased to find that the Eco by Naty nappies survived the full twelve hours.
The nappies have a lovely simple design. We tried the size 4 nappies which had a leaf pattern with a larger leaf on the front. Other designs include a flower pattern and a cloud pattern.
Wipes
We were also sent some baby wipes to try along with the nappies. The unscented sensitive wipes come in a pack of 56. They are made from 100% natural materials and are enriched with soothing Chamomile and Aloe Extract. The wipes are larger and thicker than the brand I usually use meaning I need half as many at each nappy change. They are soft and gentle on the skin and are very effective at cleaning. The wipes are also available in a lightly scented version and in a handy travel size pack.
Rash Cream
We also tried the rash cream which is made from plant based, natural and certified organic materials. The cream is gentle enough for daily use and soothes irritated skin and reduces redness. Baby Girl doesn’t suffer from nappy rash but does occasionally get a little bit of redness on her bottom. I apply the rash cream at the first sign of redness and it clears it up quickly.
Other Eco by Naty Products
As well as nappies and other baby products Eco by Naty also sell a range of family products including hand cream, body lotion and shampoo. I was pleased to be able to try the hand cream as I get dry skin on my hands from washing them often throughout the day. My hands were noticeably softer after just one application. The cream soaks in to the skin well and doesn’t leave a greasy film. I don’t like my skincare products to have an overpowering smell so I was pleased that the natural ingredients in this cream give a lovely subtle fragrance.
Overall I am really pleased with the Eco by Naty Disposable Nappies and the other products we have tried. It is reassuring to know that they are gentle on my baby’s sensitive skin as they are free from harmful chemicals. If you would like to try Eco by Naty products visit the Naty webshop.
