The Best Diapers of 2025: A Comprehensive Guide for Every Baby

Hello Bello Diapers scored 7/10 and are a smart pick if your baby has sensitive skin — we found them reliably hypoallergenic and free of latex, parabens, fragrances, and chlorine. In our testing the high absorbency and hybrid materials handled daytime messes well, but our experience shows sizing can run small so consider sizing up to avoid gaps. During our review occasional leaks cropped up overnight, but for the price ($26.05) they offer solid value for many families.

Coterie Baby Kit earned an 8/10 in our guide by pairing cloud-like softness with plant-based fibers, and in our testing its high absorbency kept little ones dry through long daytime stretches. Our experience shows the clean-ingredient, eco-friendly construction is excellent for sensitive skin, but during our review we found the fit can be fussy when babies sit between sizes, which may force earlier size changes. At $171 it’s a premium splurge and the minimalist white look limits playful patterns.

Huggies Little Snugglers scored 6/10 and in our testing the GentleAbsorb® liner absorbed wetness on contact while the breathable outer cover and back-pocketed waistband helped protect delicate skin. Our experience shows they provide a snug, comfortable fit for many newborns, but during our review occasional overnight leaks were reported and their non-biodegradable construction raises environmental concerns. Priced around $7.99, they’re a reliable mainstream choice for daytime and hospital bags, though not the greenest option.

Mama Bear Newborn Diapers scored 5.5/10 and in our testing felt soft and hypoallergenic, which explains their appeal as an affordable option for budget-conscious parents. During our review we found frequent leakage reports and even some complaints of a chemical smell or rashes, and our experience shows sizing can be tricky—careful measurement is important before ordering. They work for short daytime use, but for overnight stretches or very sensitive babies you’ll likely want a more absorbent, reliable option.

Light, soft, and familiar, Pampers Swaddlers earned a solid 7/10 in our guide thanks to a plush, comfortable lining and a useful wetness indicator that helps time changes. In our testing we found the high absorbency handled many overnight stretches, and the snug fit keeps wiggly newborns cozy. That said, our experience shows some parents report leakage and blowouts, and the higher price compared with rivals is a drawback. If you prioritize softness and a reliable wetness cue, these are a dependable mainstream choice.

Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent scored 6/10 in our guide as an eco-friendly, hypoallergenic option for baby clothes—during our review it removed everyday stains and odors effectively thanks to a mostly plant-based formula. Our experience shows the 97% plant-based ingredients are gentle on sensitive skin, but we found the cap design can leak and that tougher stains may still need pre-treatment. At $13.99 it’s pricier than some mainstream detergents, yet a reasonable pick for eco-conscious parents.

Honest Company Diapers scored 5.5/10 and during our review we appreciated the plant-based materials and soft feel that appeal to eco-minded parents. We found, however, that absorbency and fit were inconsistent in our testing — some users reported the diapers ran small and leaked sooner than higher-ranked alternatives, so sizing up is often recommended. While they present a cleaner-material profile, our experience shows practical performance issues lower their everyday reliability, especially overnight.

Kudos Size 3 scored 6/10 and in our testing the 100% cotton lining and DoubleDry two-layer absorption felt genuinely gentle and breathable for sensitive skin. We found them free from fragrances, latex, parabens and harsh chemicals, which is a real comfort for allergy-prone babies. That said, our experience shows sizing runs small so you may need to size up early, the tabs can be stubborn during quick changes, and the higher price makes them less budget-friendly than mainstream options.

Dyper's Size 1 earned a 6/10 and during our review we liked the plant-based construction and REDYPER compostable option that make disposal feel greener. We found the subscription model convenient and the hypoallergenic materials comforting for newborn skin, but our experience shows medium absorbency sometimes led to leaks and blowouts, especially overnight. Pricing is higher than drugstore brands, and some parents report these run larger than expected, so sizing and absorbency trade-offs are worth weighing when you order.

If you're leaning toward greener disposables, Honest Company Diapers are worth a look — they earned a 6/10 in our guide and use plant-based materials like responsibly sourced wood pulp for an eco-friendly profile. In our testing we found the hybrid build feels soft against sensitive skin and the snug fit can be comfortable, but absorbency is only medium so overnight reliability was inconsistent. Our experience shows these tend to run small, so sizing up is often necessary, and the $29.99 price is higher than many mainstream options.

Our Diaper markets itself as a premium, eco-conscious choice and scored 6/10 in our guide; during our review we appreciated the plant-based materials combined with organic cotton and carbon-neutral manufacturing for a soft, hypoallergenic result. We found the hybrid construction offers high absorbency and is gentle on sensitive skin, but our experience shows sizing runs small for some babies and the $50 price is noticeably higher than many competitors. Also note the lack of a wetness indicator can make timing changes less convenient despite the product’s green credentials.

Terra Size 3 Diapers scored 7.5/10 and in our testing impressed with an 85% plant-based, bamboo build that felt ultra-soft and chemical-free on sensitive skin. Our experience shows the high absorbency handles daytime use well, though some users reported nighttime leakage that necessitated extra changes. At $16.95 they cost more than basic mainstream options, but for families focused on sustainability the snug fit and eco-conscious materials make them a compelling middle-ground choice.

Bamboo Diapers Size 4 scored 6.5/10 but in our testing stood out for soft FSC‑certified bamboo fibers and a breathable, non-woven feel that most babies enjoy. During our review we found the super-absorbent core locked in moisture well and the biodegradable, compostable construction will appeal to eco-minded parents. That said, recent design tweaks led to more reports of leaks and blowouts, and our experience shows the sizing runs a little small—so consider sizing up, especially if your little one is on the upper end of the weight range.

Premium Bamboo Diapers feel luxuriously soft and earned a 7/10 in our roundup for a reason — they’re made from natural bamboo fibers and deliver high absorbency that kept little ones dry longer in our testing. We found the bamboo construction is gentle on sensitive skin and the snug fit works well for daytime and longer stretches, though some customers reported delivery delays that frustrated the buying experience. For families prioritizing comfort and sustainability at $24.99, these are a strong mid-priced choice if you can tolerate occasional shipping hiccups.

Pampers Baby Dry lands toward the lower end of our list with a 4.5/10—during our review we noticed a confusing performance mix. On paper they offer a wetness indicator, high absorbency and hypoallergenic materials, and in some of our testing those features kept babies dry overnight. However, our experience shows inconsistent fit and multiple reports of leaks combined with poor customer service, which lowered its ranking. If you shop a subscription and value convenience, be cautious and keep backups on hand.

Honest's Diapers & Wipes subscription scored a middling 5/10 in our guide; during our review we liked the plant-based, eco-friendlier materials and the convenience of home delivery with cute designs. In our testing the medium absorbency was sufficient for daytime, but our experience shows frequent reports of leakage and inconsistent performance, and several customers noted disappointing support when issues arose. If sustainability and convenience are priorities, this subscription is worth trying cautiously, but plan for backups and monitor fit closely.

Huggies OverNites earned its high 8.5/10 rating by delivering up to 12 hours of protection in our testing, with a DryTouch® liner that absorbs on contact and a handy wetness indicator to time changes. In our experience the extra absorbency was reassuring for long nights, though a few parents found them thinner than expected and reported occasional leaks. They sit at a premium price compared with everyday diapers, but if overnight dryness is your priority these are one of the most reliable overnight options in this roundup.

Bambo Nature Training Pants feel like our top-rated choice for eco-conscious potty training — they earned a 9/10 in our guide thanks to an exceptionally super-absorbent core and flexible sides and back that cut down leaks. In our testing we found the adjustable fit kept active toddlers comfortable while the synthetic, eco-friendly materials reduced environmental impact. During our review we did note the higher $132.88 price and limited availability can be a hurdle, and some parents prefer more playful designs.

Natural Blossom scored an impressive 8/10 and in our testing stood out for its bamboo-based, ultra-slim construction that feels soft against sensitive skin. During our review we found the hypoallergenic, Allergy UK–approved materials and adjustable fit make these a great pick for babies prone to irritation while offering good absorbency. That said, our experience shows sizing can be inconsistent and some parents reported overnight leaks, and the higher price tag means they’re more of a specialty buy than an everyday bargain.

If your toddler is constantly on the move, Pampers Cruisers 360 scored 7.5/10 and in our testing the 360° stretchy waistband and easy-tear sides stood out for keeping active babies comfortable and making changes simple. We found the hypoallergenic materials helpful for sensitive skin, but our experience shows occasional leakage and a scented formula that may trigger irritation for some. While designed to limit waste through efficient sizing, these are not biodegradable, and the blowout barrier can be hit-or-miss for extra-rowdy toddlers.

Huggies Little Movers scored 5.5/10 and in our testing proved comfortable for active toddlers thanks to Double Grip Strips and a SnugFit waistband that moves with them. We found the layered absorbency often handled daytime play and prevented many leaks, but our experience shows inconsistent quality between batches and a handful of rash reports that concerned some parents. They’re hypoallergenic and fragrance-free, which helps sensitive skin, but they’re not biodegradable—so they’re a solid mainstream pick if absorbency and fit top your list.

up&up Disposable Diapers are an economical everyday option that scored 6.5/10 in our guide; during our review we appreciated the soft materials and hypoallergenic, fragrance-free formula. Our experience shows absorbency is only medium, so some parents reported leaks—especially overnight—and you may need more frequent changes. In testing we liked the affordable price ($25.99) and comfortable fit, but note they’re not biodegradable and lack eco-friendly features that some families prioritize. They’re a practical budget pick for daytime use.

Luvs Pro Level Diapers landed a 6/10 in our rankings; during our review we appreciated the budget-friendly price and features like a wetness indicator and stretchy sides that aim for a snug fit. We found absorbency rated high, but our testing revealed some overnight leakage and reports of a chemical smell or tabs that don’t always stick, which can undermine nighttime confidence. For daytime and quick changes they offer good value, but pack backups for longer stretches.

For budget-minded families, Parent’s Choice Baby Diapers can be a practical everyday pick — they scored 6.5/10 thanks to an affordable price and handy features like a wetness indicator and stretchy elastic leg cuffs for a snug fit. During our review we found the medium absorbency handles daytime use well, but the synthetic construction isn’t eco-friendly and the brand is not hypoallergenic; some users even reported allergic reactions. If your baby has sensitive skin, our experience shows you may want to patch-test first or consider a gentler option.

Kirkland Signature Diapers Size 5 are a value-forward option that scored 6.5/10; in our testing their high absorbency and soft, comfortable fit made them reliable for many daytime and overnight stretches. We found the bulk pricing at about $45.28 is appealing for frequent changes, but our experience shows occasional blowouts—especially with bowel movements—and recent design tweaks have raised concerns about reduced absorbency. Available mainly through Costco and select retailers, they’re a sensible choice if you want strong absorbency and value, but pack backups for active toddlers.
