This is the feedback thread for the Mumsnet users who have been testing Pura’s eco nappies.

Here’s what Pura has to say: “We believe being eco-friendly is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. And that we should all be able to look after our planet, simply by looking after our families. We put babies first, with anti-allergy, organic ingredients and sustainable, biodegradable materials. So you’re protecting their skin and protecting their future too. We’re here to empower everyone to protect the future of the planet today, with eco-friendly products that are affordable and accessible for all”

Some more information on the nappies can be found below:

Pura eco nappies are happy on babies’ bottoms with soft organic cotton and 0% chlorine, perfumes and allergens. They’re happy on the planet with their sustainable plant fibre core and 100% green energy manufacturing process. They’re even happy to your piggy bank, from just 12.8p per leak-free nappy.

What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
There are so many things I liked about them. The fit was great, they kept my little one dry, especially through the night, approved by allergy UK, eco friendly and support the woodland trust.

  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
I will definitely buy them again,. As I am currently on a tight budget I would alternate with what I am using now. Ideally I would like to try the Pura nappy subscription.
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
I was really impressed, they exceeded my expectations.
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
It was really easy to order, they arrived very quickly and I liked that the packaging was compostable. The nappies were great, we didn't experience any leaks or nappy rash.
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
I would definitely recommend. I have already recommended to a friend and let her try one for herself and she thought it was great. :)
HalfBloodPrincess · 07/01/2021 15:39
  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
Superficially, the design. They were very neutral without cartoon animals which is rare in a nappy.
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
I’ve signed up for the subscription service already.
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
They were very good quality. They seemed snug and secure and after 3 nights I felt confident that I didn’t have to check dd for leaks. The fastening tabs seemed stronger than my usual brand which was a godsend with DD(19 months) whose sole mission is to take off her nappy 10 seconds after I’ve put it on.
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
Very positive. Easy and simple to navigate and order from the website, next day delivery and compostable packaging.
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
I’ve already recommended to a postnatal group I’m on and there have been a few fans already.

@JustineBMumsnet I've not received an email to the survey.

Feedback is as follows

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies? I loved the fact that they were unscented and contained plant based fibres. My daughters nappy rash improved dramatically by using these nappies. I love that she was itchy wearing a nappy, was more comfortable and they didn't leak once.
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product? Yes, I will be signing up to the subscription service.
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies? I thought they were great quality nappy, no leaks, comfortable for my daughter to wear although I did find the size 6s quite snug. They only just fit and my daughter isn't even 2 yet. I found the tabs were great, very strong and difficult for dd to remove herself.
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura? Excellent although I have received a lot of emails to leave a review on trust pilot. The website is very easy to navigate through and find what you're looking for.
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else? Highly likely. These have made a massive difference to dd and her skin conditions and she hasn't reacted once. I find the band from other brand nappies is the worst for causing a rash on her stomach. that hasn't happened once since she started wearing these nappies. I love that the packaging is compostable. These nappies are brilliant for babies and toddlers with sensitive skin.

Nice quality, pretty design, good packaging.

  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
Good, however my daughter leaked twice using these where she hasn't leaked since she was a few months old in other nappies, she's coming up to 14m now. This wasn't overnight, once was in the car and she came out wet, and once was after a poo which went straight up her back!
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
Good, quick delivery.
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
For someone who wanted eco nappies, I'd definitely recommend.

Lemonysherbet · 07/01/2021 18:59
  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
The fit and feel are really reflective of what the nappies stand for. They are more environmentally friendly, sleek and leak proof.
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
Yes I would
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
Really good quality. I actually got the wrong size based on my babies weight (sized up) but they fitted perfectly and therefore maybe this would need reviewing. The design is really nice, very simple and doesn't feel plasticy like many other nappies.
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
Very highly. Very pleased to have found a nappy that doesn't leak.
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
I have already recommended to a friend who's baby kept leaking through at night. So I would.
Timeforsinging81 · 07/01/2021 19:03

  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
Yes, but I would prefer pull ups.
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
Very good quality. They were sturdy yet slim, well fitting and didn’t leak.
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
I have already recommended them to other mums.

  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?

Yes - to use as night nappies

Excellent service. Quick delivery and easy to navigate. Great product. Only annoyance was those trust pilot emails!

  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?

Sure, I gave most of the pack to nursery to use there and they have got on well with them.
