Diapers are on your baby around the clock, so they're the first swap worth getting right. Here's what matters, and the picks we list on NontoxicBabies.com.

What makes a diaper "non-toxic"?

- Totally chlorine-free — no chlorine bleaching, which can leave dioxin residues.

- Fragrance-free — fragrance is usually a mix of undisclosed chemicals; "unscented" isn't always the same as fragrance-free, so check the ingredient list.

- EWG Verified when you can — it means the ingredients meet the Environmental Working Group's stricter standards.

- Full ingredient list, not just the front of the pack — a clean-looking box can still hide lotions, dyes, or adhesives you don't want against your baby's skin.

- Plant-based materials where possible — bamboo and other plant fibres are the common clean option.

How to choose

Start with one pack, not a bulk box — every baby's skin is different, and what works for one baby can irritate another. Check for fragrance-free and chlorine-free first, then EWG Verified if it's available in your size. If a diaper causes redness, switch and note what was different.
