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.

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
The eco side to them, and they don't leak.
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
They are more expensive than normal nappies but I think they are a good option if you are using reusable nappies but want an eco friendly non leaking option for night time which I would want to do when I switch to reusables when my baby is a few months old (and also good for winter when its hard to dry them quickly enough).
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
I thought they were very good quality and had no issues with them.
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
They sent me wipes to try instead of nappies by mistake but were courteous when I emailed them and sent the nappies by express delivery to make up for it.
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
I would definitely recommend them.

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
Very absorbent, able to be used overnight
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
No a bit too expensive and not convenient enough as cant just pick up from the supermarket. Also did not keep my baby as dry as pampers which lead to irritation.

Quite good but outer a bit rough/papery
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
Excellent. Brilliant customer service and fast delivery

Nappies never arrived instead received a trial pack of wipes and unable to order nappies. Shame as would like to have tried them so it’s left me feeling disappointed with company

Jayneyejroyle · 07/01/2021 21:37
  1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes?
Loved how gentle they were on my children’s skin and I do like the fact they are thick and soft
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product? Yes definitely I am considering it if they are affordable
  2. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes?
I really loved the quality of the wipes but it is incredibly annoying when they come out in a huge clump but lots of other brands of wipe have this problem too so I don’t see it as a reason not to buy
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
I was very impressed - super quick delivery in the midst of the postal chaos, lovely customer service (update emails etc) and easy to order
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura wipes to someone else? Very likely - infact I already have on my Instagram page

I had the same. Received the wipes to test and another pack of wipes-no nappies. Not really given me a good impression of Pura.

Pigriver · 07/01/2021 23:10
  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?

Soft, comfy, no leaks, nice neutral look and good eco credentials

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

Possibly, we use cloth nappies mainly but do use disposable for nights and days out (obviously not any more.....!) So I'd feel much less guilt using these than normal disposable

  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
Good quality, felt really nice
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
Great, I was accidentally sent the wrong product, they replied to my email straight away and sent out the nappies the next day and let me keep the wipes they sent in error
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
Very likely although I haven't met anyone else with a baby due to bloody covid!
Trumpleton · 07/01/2021 23:38

Soft, strong fastening.

  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
No as We had several leaks.
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
Really liked for a few times use then had some leaks which we havent had for ages. So not for us i think. Nice feeling nappies.
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura? Good. Easy, fast delivery
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
Maybe - maybe need a larger size ( but same as my usual brand).

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
Very absorbent and a great fit.

  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
Excellent customer service, speedy delivery.

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
The eco credentials, the design, the plant based fibres and the packaging in which they arrived (eco friendly).

We use cloth nappies most of the time but will likely purchase these on the occasional times we use disposable. I was particularly impressed with their performance overnight.

Good quality; they felt thin but were nicely absorbing and had a pretty pattern.

Excellent: the website is user friendly and the delivery was fast.

PeachyB · 08/01/2021 16:16

I ordered the same time as the wipes. My nappies have not arrived. I’ve since tried to use the code again but it states I can only use it once.

I did receive a random packet of 24 non flushable wipes. Maybe this was sent in error rather than the nappies.

Hopefully they turn up so I can review before this closes.

crazycatbaby · 08/01/2021 16:56

They were a really good fit, they had the best sizing I've come across and the sticky tabs were super strong, I didn't have to worry about them coming unstuck.

Yes for the right price I was really happy with the product.

They weren't too wet and were nice and thick.

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

I think I would, yes.

  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes?

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

Highly.

ilovecake77 · 10/01/2021 00:25
  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
That they are eco friendly and are a good fit.
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
no ,im sticking with my usual nappies as although these nappies are great for environment and did fit really well my baby got quite sore after a few hours of wearing them and she has never suffered with redness with our usual nappies.
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
they felt really good,great sticky tabs and i thought they were really absorbent until my baby got quite red and sore after afew hours of wearing .
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
my experience was good ,delivery of wipes was realy quick,i did receive a trial pack of wipes instead of nappies but a quick email to them had my nappies sent out next day which was great.
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
based on how good they are for the environment i would definetly recommend but as my baby got red after a few hours of wearing im afraid i couldnt reccomend for that reason as absorbency was not very good for us.
Scarybex · 10/01/2021 02:43
  1. I most loved that I wasn’t contributing to plastic waste.
  1. I would definitely purchase again. They did the job as well as the big brand I usually buy and with non of the environmental guilt!
  1. I think the nappy quality was great. No nasty stinky chemicals and a pretty leaf pattern on the front. They also had really secure fasteners and good leg elastic to stop leaks. They coped with all but the longest overnight stretches.
  1. Shipping was reasonably fast and the packaging was biodegradable which was good.
  1. I would be happy to recommend Pura to other moms

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
Their awesome eco credentials!
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
Unfortunately not
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
I REALLY wanted to fall in love with these nappies but unfortunately we had a couple of poo leaks which we don't normally get and you can smell the urine in them after only a couple of hours which isn't nice, I thought it might be my hyper smell because I'm pregnant but my mum noticed it too and his wee is perfectly normal and it doesn't happen at all with other nappies
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
Great service and with a few tweaks possibly a good product
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
Not as they are currently
kungfupidge · 11/01/2021 12:15
  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
i loved that there was no artificial plastic feel or smell.
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
i would definitely buy and would love for them to be in the local shop
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?

  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
excellent very fast delivery and superb nappies
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else? highly likely and have done so already x
herecomesfrog · 11/01/2021 12:20

The plastic free ethos. With a newborn and a toddler we get through a lot of nappies.
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?

  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
Excellent. They fit my newborn really well without being too tight. No leaks and no skin irritation.

Excellent. The delivery was fast and communication was clear.
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
Very likely.
Changeisconstant · 11/01/2021 16:01
  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
They're eco friendly so as I'm using reusable nappies most of the time these are great for overnight & when I've run out of reusables! They're also miscellaneous a neutral which isn't always the case for nappies!
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
Yes I would, I think they're more than I would usually spend on a packet of nappies but they're really good nappies and worth the extra in my opinion.
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
The quality was great, we only had one leak which was from a poo explosion that I don't think anything would have contained. We haven't had any wet leaks & we've had no nappy rash since using these which DS has had from other premium brands.
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
Excellent, the nappies initially didn't arrive and I emailed them and they sent a new packet which arrived the next day. The packaging is all compostable as well!
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
Very likely, if someone was to ask for recommendations I would almost certainly recommend these nappies.
