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.

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?

Nice design. No chemical smells. Good performance against leaks. I have a very heavy wetting son and these were as leakproof as pampers

  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
We use cloth nappies but I would buy for nighttime use if readily available
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
Good
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
Good, very swift delivery
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
Somewhat. More likely if they were clearer about how the nappies are 'eco nappies' and if they offered/encouraged reusable alternatives also.

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
They were lovely and soft and I love their eco credentials.
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
Probably not as they are a lot more expend than my usual brand and sometimes leaked
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
They were nice, felt good and secure but my baby is a heavy wetter and at night time they would leak when there was more than 3 hours between changing.
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
Experience was very good, the website was easy to use and customer service was great
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
I would as they are so much better for the environment than normal disposables but with a warning for other heavy wetter.

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
The eco credentials. They also felt quite soft, and contained mess quite well.
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
Yes, they would be in the running! I think I'd shop around for the best price on the eco nappies we like as finances are tight.
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
We had no problem with leaks, and I tried these for a newborn and 18 month old. I found the nappies soft, and they appeared to be comfortable.
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
Excellent! We really appreciated the super speedy shipping as well as the superior product quality.
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
Definitely! They are more expensive, but I think the environmental cost is worth it

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?

I love the company's eco concept.

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

I would like to but we are on a tight budget and can get almost 3 times as many of our usual nappies I don't think I can justify this very often.

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

They were great. Amazing fit, no leaks. No over powering or chemical smell at all which was really nice. My child can be very sensitive but had no issues with these nappies (or wipes) which was great.

  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

They were great, we were able to order the nappies quickly and the delivery was very fast.

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

I would definitely recommend the nappies.

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?

Love the eco concept but also they feel lovely & soft & no chemically smells like some other brands.

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

We’ve already switched to using Pura

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

Fab! My just turned 4 month old is on Nutramigen so her nappies are ahem explosive to say the least, these nappies contained everything the majority of the time.

  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

Great! Couldn’t believe how fast the shipping was, so much more convenient to be able to buy online in this way. Everything was packaged well & overall just really pleased with the nappies.

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

Definitely recommend these nappies and have done already to friends with babies & my sister who is due in April :-)

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
I liked how strong the nappies are, baby done a big poo and you couldn't see the poo from the outside of the nappy like other brands.
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product? I don't think I would because the sizes are a little small compared to other brands.
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies? They're made of good quality materials only issue was the size.
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura? They were very quick with delivery.
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else? I probably would recommend them to friends look into because they are strong nappies

  3. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies? Very good
  4. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura? Very good
  5. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else? Highly likely.

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
More eco friendly than other brands. Unscented and neutral design, but most importantly a narrow comfortable fit for my wriggly son. He had no leaks the entire time we used them!
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
They are slightly more expensive than my usual brand and maternity pay is tight, unfortunately I don't think I will be making the switch fully but will definitely alternate between these and my usual brand.
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
Better than I expected. Lovely nappies.
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
Excellent. Quick delivery, well packaged, lovely products.
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
Very likely

I was selected as a tester for the nappies and the wipes. I used both codes I recieved and got the wipes but instead of the nappies I got a separate small packet of wipes. I lost the emails but wanted to document why I'm unable to submit a review.

msatlantis · 03/02/2021 16:28

Unfortunately I did not receive my pack of nappies to try, just the wipes.

msatlantis · 03/02/2021 16:29

Same as Cakeandslippers

  1. What did you like most about Pura’s nappies?
I found them very absorbant, they were really good overnight and not many brands are I find. They felt nice and light too and very secure when done up.
  1. Would you look to purchase Pura nappies instead of your usual product?
Yes, I would. I like the fact that they're good for the environment while being a really good product too. No leaks for us.
  1. What did you think of the overall quality of the nappies?
Quality is good - I found them to be really good nappies. They feel secure when done up, I found the sticky tabs quite hard to undo when putting on and when taking off which was a struggle sometimes with a wiggly baby, but they were definitely nice and secure.
  1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?
Very quick delivery and I loved the packaging, the potato bags, have used them for home compost bags. Such a good idea.
  1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura nappies to someone else?
I would happily recommend them - although I think I would mention that they are a more expensive option, but worth it in my opinion.
Changeisconstant · 05/02/2021 22:45

Those that haven't received the nappies if you just email pura to say they haven't arrived they should send out a new pack of nappies. I did the same and included my order number in the email to them and they sent me the pack of nappies that arrived the following day Smile

msatlantis · 09/02/2021 12:12

Initially I didn't receive my nappies but within 24 hours of contacting Pura they were in my hands.
My husband and I have enjoyed trying them. They are a bit softer than 'normal' nappies (though I do think the 'mum and you' nappies are the softest). They are generous in sizing which is good and the tabs are nice and sticky snd stay in place. No leaks. Excellent eco credentials and so we will look at buying again.
Also liked the fact they didn't come in a cardboard box but a compostable covering.
