Well, when we ran out of Seventh Generation diapers, we decided to try the generic, WholeFoods diapers since they’re chlorine-free and cheaper than the SG ones.
The 365 diapers are white in appearance, and like the SG diapers, are of the no-frill variety. The first thing I noticed when I pulled the first diaper from its package was that the diapers were STIFF. I have never come across a diaper as crunchy (and not the good kind of crunchy) as the 365 diapers. Their feel and texture made me nervous. I was sure we were going to have some big leaks simply because the diaper seemed unable to meet the contours of Jude’s body. Luckily, we didn’t. More on that in a bit.
The size 4 diapers we bought seemed a fair amount larger than the size 4 SG diapers. I can’t really recall how they compare to the Pampers we used to use, but overall, I’m really happy with how large they run. The tabs on the 365 diapers are narrower than the tabs on the SG diapers, and there’s more wrap-around material on each side of the diapers. These two features make the 365 diapers easy to fasten on baby.
Jude has worn a few 365 diapers over the past week, and we haven’t experienced any real leaks. There has been a time or two where some poop has crept nearly out one or both of the leg holes, but that’s been as far as it has gotten. My friend, Nori, started using the 365 diapers right around the same time as we did. She found that the diapers often leaked during day time wear; that is, when her daughter was being really active. She did not experience any leaks when the diapers were worn overnight.
At this point, I’m not sure what we’ll buy the next time we run out of disposables. I really dislike the stiffness of the 35 diapers, but other than that, we haven’t had a problem with them. Who knows?
Maybe next month I’ll have a different diaper to review!
