Having become indoctrinated into the world of moderately granola dads, I care a LOT about avoiding nontoxic ingredients -- beyond food ingredients and cookware, that means avoiding plastic / synthetic things wrapped around our twin baby girls, whenever possible. So of course that means glass bottles only, natural rubber pacifiers, organic mattress, cotton/wool clothes and sleep sacks only. We have ALSO been using cloth diapers, which is definitely the "greenest" diapering option possible, but this became unsustainable once we got into the sleep training phase -- our night nurse advised us we needed to switch disposable diapers at night, if we don't want babies drenched in urine over the course of that 12 hour overnight sleep we are striving towards. (Wet baby is more likely to wake up, disrupting the sleep training, etc). We also have had to take the sleep training extra seriously, given our hands are full with two newborns.
After a lot of research, it was ultimately clear that HealthyBaby is the best disposable diaper option on the market if you care about baby safety -- check out mommy bloggers like Mamavation and GimmeTheGoodStuff for an overview of PFAS detection, a thorough ingredient audit, etc. HB is doing the most amount of 3rd party testing (EWG etc) as far as I can tell, and HB discloses their entire ingredient list, so you can really verify line-by-line how nontoxic this is. The packaging comes in paper (not plastic wrap), and HB is a certified B Corp.
We are still combo diapering (cloth diapers by day; HealthyBaby disposables by night). Although all disposables feel like a treat when you're comparing to cloth diapers -- I do find handling the HealthyBaby diapers is quick, and getting the tabs on is really seamless. The HB diapers have handled blowouts well, we haven't had any noticeable leakages. Importantly, we've never had any diaper rashes, or visible discomfort from our girls. I am also using the HB cleaning concentrate for all our bottle cleaning, and their wipes -- all is good.
