Continuing our Diaper Brand Spotlight series, today we’re focusing on Seventh Generation diapers. What's in them, what isn't in them, where they're made and what I like about them.
With gazillions of different diaper brands out there, it’s hard to know which ones to buy for your baby. By doing your research and comparing the brands, you can narrow down the list of diapers you’d like to try. Here we’ve gathered all the information about Seventh Generation diapers in one convenient post for you.
*Disclaimer: This post is in no way sponsored or endorsed by Seventh Generation™. I’m just a mama who knows how to use her keyboard to find information. Any mistakes or inaccuracies in this post are my own, and I will gladly correct them with the right information, once I know about it. To find further information about Seventh Generation diapers, visit their website www.seventhgeneration.com.
Here’s my completely subjective review of Seventh Generation diapers. These diapers feel ‘sturdy’ like some other eco-friendly brands, some have called them scratchy or rough, but they are soft on the inside. They are quite trim, not “fluffy” like a Huggies diaper. These diapers do their job, and do it well.
Some people have said that Seventh Generation diapers are “greenwashed”. Greenwashing is a term used to describe products that claim to be eco-friendly, but in fact are not. I would not say that Seventh Generation products are “greenwashed”, but that they are on a continuum of eco-friendly products. These diapers aren’t as low-chemical or “green” as ECO by Naty or Bambo Nature, but they contain fewer chemicals than Huggies or Pampers.
I’ll go into detail about what’s in (and not in) a Seventh Generation diaper and let you decide.
Fun fact, each size diaper has a different design printed on it!
Seventh Generation used to have a “Touch of Cloth” line in addition to their “Free & Clear” line of diapers. They no longer make these diapers.
As of January 2024 Seventh Generation will be discontinuing their diaper line.

The reviews online are pretty positive, but you won’t know how a diaper works for YOUR baby until you give them a try! Try a sample for yourself, and get a few other brands to compare side-by-side. What do you like best?
