Natural Eco-Friendly Baby Wipes Comparison

Functionally, these Seventh Gen Baby wipes work pretty well. I like them and will buy them in a pinch and I like that they carry them at some major retailers. They are one of the easiest brands to find locally.

I will say that I have found them to be a little hit and miss. Sometimes the Seventh Generation wipes seem a little more dried out than at other times. This can be helped by just adding a little water and then they are fine. I have gotten them before and loved them and at other times found them to be just so-so.

All around, a fairly good option for eco-friendly wipes. They work well and are reasonably priced. Also, I have never had diaper rash problems while using these wipes on either of my children. I have also heard other parents rave about Seventh Generation Baby Wipes.

NatraCare has the biggest leg up on the competition in that they are made with organic cotton. Can you really beat an organic cotton, disposable baby wipe if you're going the disposable route?

Of all the brands, NatraCare has some of the best characteristics to boast about, but I will say they are not my favorite. I don't think they are a very economical choice. If price were not an option, that might affect my opinion, but I'm trying to weigh frugality with functionality and toxicity here.

Functionally, I think the NatraCare wipes could be a little bigger and a little thicker. They work fine, but I feel like you're paying for the advantages of the wipes, not the functionality. For the price, I want to see more in a baby wipe. Other than the great benefits to these wipes, I wouldn't pick them. I hate to even say that, because it seems like NatraCare has some really great things to offer.

Earth's Best wipes are one of my current go-to brands of wipes. These wipes are what I consider a "total package" kind of wipe.

The price is reasonable for a eco-frienly baby wipe, especially if you sign up for a subscription through Amazon Mom (although there have been recent complaints of a price hike, so make sure you're getting a deal before subscribing). Also, these Earth's Best baby wipes work really well. They are a decent size and thickness and work great. I have found them to be very consistent. I wish I had found them when my firstborn was a baby. I haven't found a downside with these.

Note: There is some controversy recently over Nature BabyCare wipes. Some customers have said that Nature BabyCare has changed their formula and the wipes aren't as good. The last time I used them I did not experience the problems mentioned, however, I often rotate which wipes I use and I haven't used these in the past couple months so the problem may be more recent. While these are one of my favorites, I would try at your own risk or contact the retailer to ask questions before purchasing.

The biggest downside of these wipes is that they can be hard to find and are on the more expensive side. I think they're great in a pinch if you can find them and I would use them again. They have a lot of features that make them boast-worthy...if you can find them.

Possibly THE best baby wipes I've ever tried. I absolutely loved these wipes and can't find one negative thing to say about them other than their extremely steep price point. Elements Naturals would be my go-to wipe if I could afford them. I have to wonder how many parents can afford these...let's hope Elements Naturals grows in popularity very soon and is able to significantly drop their pricing. I did notice recently that they are cheaper on Amazon than any other place I have found them. Alas, these are special occasion wipes for this family. But try them if you can...you won't be sorry!

There is a lot to like about Bum Boosa bamboo baby wipes. They are a nice size, weight and texture. They work great and they are a safe for baby and an environmentally sustainable product. The biggest negative of Bum Boosa is the price. These wipes may work great, but they are just so darn expensive. Try Bum Boosa baby wipes if you can find them on sale.

Personally, there are 2 reasons I won't buy these wipes again, price aside. The first is that while they actually smell very good, the smell is too strong for me. (However, I am sensitive to things that smell strongly.) The second is that they may have given my baby a slight rash. I say may because I used these wipes while I was introducing her to a new food, so the rash could have been food related.

365 Chlorine-Free wipes are a great go-to baby wipe if you live near a Whole Foods store. I found these to be an all-around good baby wipe and the price is reasonable for a natural baby wipe.
