Terra Diapers Size 1 Newborn: 85% Plant-Based Diapers, Ultra-Soft & Chemical-Free for Sensitive Skin, Superior Absorbency for Day or Nighttime Diapers, Designed for Newborns up to 11 Pounds, 24 Count

I’ve tried several different cotton, diapers, and I keep coming back to these. Here’s the deal you need to find the right size they run on the bigger side and if you have a baby with hubby legs like most of us, do you really need to order two sizes and see which fits best. If it’s too big, you will get leakage. I have to say I haven’t felt like too small is an issue per se except for the occasional booty popping out if she isn’t wearing fitted pants. This diaper does not leave any cotton residue, which is super important, especially with a girl. She can wear these diapers on Carr rides without a developing a rash. And they don’t smell when it’s full. Overall, I love these diapers. I wish I could find them in the store because I’m terrible at ordering in time. But I highly recommend them, especially for girls.

This is a bit of a read but stick with me because if you’re reading this then you’re likely a parent of a child 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) but haven’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 perspective when evaluating diapers. My 24-hour a day job is parenting our amazing 11 mo. old. (who only happened 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 health of 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 contact with 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 the rabbit hole that is researching “eco-friendly diapers” I discovered an entire world where basically everyone says theirs is the best and the most eco-friendly and have laboratory testing to prove it and they’re all splitting hares (see what I did there) on the details of each individual material. Then you have tons of eco-friendly blogs that review the diapers, but they seem like they’re being paid to do it. Bottom line – diaper brands aren’t legally required to disclose what their diapers are made of, and everyone says theirs are the most pure so there’s no way to be certain 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 because it’s basically impossible to prove so take it with a grain of salt... 1) The company is based in New Zealand. It just seems like culturally New Zealand isn’t as profit-driven as we are. I also really like that they’re legit with their claims… 2) They say they’re 85% plant-based when some others make claims of 100% this or 0% that. Why would you say you’re 85%, which is clearly less than others, 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 from someone I follow, Jamie Grayson, where he did an actual physical side by side test of how much liquid each eco-friendly diaper holds and how QUICKLY the top layer of each diaper dried out. I could not believe how quickly the top layer of the Terra dried out vs all the others. It was literally dry in seconds whereas the other ones were all still wet when the test was done. I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about this because it’s SUCH a critical aspect of keeping skin healthy and avoiding diaper rash and bacteria growth that is common when a baby sits in their wet. This was all I needed to see as a wound care specialist to stop looking, but for more proof 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 about this on their Amazon page but the video was way more impactful and it was crazy to see. Since we started using them, we’ve had 2 leaks (but both were because my husband was still working on 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!

I tried these when my regular diapers were out of stock (Nest diapers). I had never heard of this brand but I gave them a try and I’m so glad I did! They are thick, soft, and have so much more flexibility than so many others I’ve tried. True to size too. The only reason I’m not giving them 5 stars is because twice now my daughter has leaked through them by morning. But, she feeds so much at night too. Will be making these my new go-to diapers.

I like to branch out and try different night diapers, but I will never purchase these again. Pro: very soft and quality ingredients. Cons: Diaper, baby, and sheets were SOAKED by 2am. The threads of the diaper were literally unraveling. The smell of the diaper by morning was nauseating to say the least. If you are considering for overnight, pass. But daytime should be fine.

These diapers are MAGIC. They are too expensive to use as everyday diapers for me, but I love them for nighttime. My 6 week old was waking up every 2-3 hours before putting her in these and now she sleeps 5-6 hours at night. They feel heavy from holding so much liquid, but truly dry to the touch. The only issue I have is the fit for my tall girl. She’s very lanky and so the diapers don’t quite sit in the right spot. They also don’t have elasticity around the waist where the fasteners are, so it’s very difficult to get a tight fit. Whenever I change her after use, the diapers are lower than they should be and real loose. works fine for pee, but when she poo’s it spreads out since it’s not tight enough. I imagine blowouts will happen.

too thick and my baby always wakes up with his clothes wet.

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.

I absolutely love Terra diapers! They are the most absorbent diapers we have ever used. They keep the baby’s skin dry. The fit is perfect for full coverage. The only complaint is the price increase, they used to be about $12 & rose to $16. I had to stop buying these due to the price increase unfortunately.

I really tried multiple times but I had leakages every single time after a few hours. I liked the idea of safe and eco friendly diaper… I will try other brands and see.

Amazing diapers … really highly recommended

As a new parent, Terra Diapers are perfect for my newborn’s sensitive skin. They’re ultra-soft, chemical-free, and highly absorbent for both day and night use. I love that they’re 85% plant-based and eco-friendly. No leaks, no rashes—just comfort and peace of mind for me and my baby. Highly recommend!

I really wanted to like these diapers as they are one of the most accessible "non-toxic" diapers in Canada. They also feel incredibly luxurious and soft. However the first night I put my 4 month old in the size 3 (he is 16lbs) I had to change him in the middle of the night ! The diaper fit properly and the leakage did not happen from the legs. The actual diaper itself had soaked through so much that when I put it on the table it left a wet mark. He sleeps roughly 8-10 hours at night and I have never experienced this with the pampers pure diapers. I'm hoping to have more success with ecopea or ecoriginal diapers (Both of which are difficult to get in Canada). Very disappointed given these diapers are nearly 1.00 per diaper! I gave it a 3/5 star because they hold smaller pees during the day well. Unfortunately a wet breastmilk poop will saturate them too :(

did not hold well, leaky diapers :(
