Ecoriginals Nappies Infant
Verified71 reviews
I used this brand exclusively for my first child for over 3 years, and absolutely loved them. They used to fit perfectly, super soft, great absorption. I stocked up on them for my second born a week ago and I’m so disappointed to find that the quality has completely deteriorated. The biggest issue is that the tabs simply do not stick on, as soon… Read more
as baby moves at all they pop off, making them useless. Further frustrating is that they now seem to be made smaller than the stated sizing (and compared to other brands of same size). I bought size 0 as my baby was early and not even over 3kg yet. But they don’t fit! They are loose around the waist but too short and too small around the legs! My first was similarly early and we didn’t experience this issue at all.
Speaking to customer service was no help, they blamed it on the ‘great redesign’ (which apparently customers were consulted on?? I am a direct customer and definitely was not) and recommended just sizing up, but made no offer to help do so (what am I supposed to do with the boxes of 0 I not can’t use??).
I’ve used Eco Originals newborn nappies with two of my children in the past and was excited to use them again with my third, based on my previous positive experience. Unfortunately, the quality has clearly changed – every single nappy leaks. I followed all the advice from customer service, including checking the size and ensuring the nappies were… Read more
being put on correctly (which they were), but the leaks continued with every single use. I’ve used nappies for three babies – I know how to put one on. When I reached out again, I was told I couldn’t return my unopened packs for a refund because the 7-day refund window had passed. So now I’m stuck with nappies I can’t use and a company that won’t stand behind its product. Really disappointed with both the product and the customer service. I won’t be purchasing from Eco Originals again.

So soft and fluffy! We LOVE Ecoriginals! – We received our Ecoriginals and I was totally in love from the moment I put them on my baby! They are so soft and fluffy. We know we have a little bit of room to grow as well! The Manila honey wipes smell amazing and can clean tough messes. Absolutely wonderful brand! Our new favorite diaper. Show reply
Love Love Love these nappies! – I am so glad we found these for our baby! Having trialled other brands we came across Ecoriginals and we were not disappointed! My baby can sleep through the night in this without me having to worry about leaks! Really good quality and so soft! I highly recommended. Show reply
The perfect nappies! – We absolutely love our Ecoriginals nappies! Never had any leakage, they feel great & I don’t have to be worried about any toxins on my bubs skin. The wipes smell lovely (Manuka are our faves) and feel very soft. Highly recommend! Show details · 1
Positive reviews
We love them – We have used these nappies along with cloth nappies and we love them. They do everything your nonsustainable nappies do but are better for the world.
Good quality environmentally friendly option – I love these nappies, they are super soft and easy to use, no leaks. They run a bit big compared to most brands, and are a bit more expensive that other enviro brands, but you can get free shipping through Woolies, and they are legitimately the most biodegradable disposable nappies I have found.

Great for bub and landfill – I found these nappies to not only fit as per the guide, but can hold up against the heaviest of "events" (size #2). The % of biodegradable is the highest I could find, which eases my fears of the amount of plastics in the environment. When I had to contact the team they got back to me within the hour and resolved my query there and then. Show details · 1

Leak problems – Its leaking.quality wise its fine except that it leaks. It can stay on my child's bum not for more than 3 hours as it will leak like a paper. Especially overnight,my child is soaked in urine the next day Show details
Constant blow outs and poor customer service – Unfortunately I experienced constant blow outs with this batch of nappies. I used Ecoriginals for 2 years with my now 4 year old hence why I wanted to try them for my newborn. I reached out to the company to ask if I could send the nappies back for a refund. They spent over 3 weeks going back and forth over email asking me for photos of my bub in… Read more
the nappies which I happily sent through. The final email received today was to say sorry there is no fault and sorry you’re disappointed but there’s nothing we can do. I spent over $2000 on these nappies with my first son so am incredibly disappointed with their poor customer service. I won’t be recommending these to any new mums and will sadly have to donate my 5 packs of nappies and wear the cost.
Nappies okay - customer service terrible + prices MISLEADING – The nappies themselves are okay - as they don't contain all the usually plastics etc, they don't last as long (certainly not for overnight). They contain poo okay, as much as any other nappy. I'm here to write about the customer service though. I've emailed them and they still did not clarify. I've had multiple people read the emails back and… Read more
forth and it makes no sense,
BUNDLE50 is a discount code that is said to give you 50% off the RRP of your first subscription for nappies - ""The Bundle50 offers a 50% discount on the retail price of six packs of diapers".
However it isn't 50%, not in the 2023 normal mathematical sense. If something is $100 RRP and it's 50% off. You end up paying $50...right? Not with Ecooriginals. They're clearly using some other mathematical equation.
I received a discount of $50.61 on my first 6 pack subsrciption of infant nappies. In a logical world, this would mean the RRP is $101.22...right?
No matter which way you buy the nappies, 6 packs are never $101.22.
"The 50% off refers to the discounted amount, then that comes off the total price that you pay in total, the 50% off discounted amount is off the RRP of the one time purchase price."
LOOK, ultimately all jokes aside, i trust they have their maths right somehow. But it is extremely misleading.
The responses were vague and repetitive.

Our favourite nappies – These are our absolute favourite nappies. The softness, quality and thickness are the best we have tried. They absorb the most and keep baby dry overnight. Show details
Amazing product and great value for money! – Amazing nappies, have been using them for a few weeks now and had no issues! Easy to use and I love that they're eco friendly and biodegradable. Fast delivery, great value for money and will definitely be buying for myself again and as a gift for any friends that have new babies! Show details · 1

Awful, leaks and doesn’t fit right – I guess other than being “eco friendly” there is nothing good about this. They leak, never had a poo drip over myself with Huggies yet these so it every time. There is no pee indicator so I don’t know when he’s peed and the feel rough to touch. I don’t know how they got such good reviews. I gave mine away. Show details

Best diaper ever! – I love how soft these diapers are on my baby’s skin and it keeps my mind at ease knowing they are non toxic. They surprised me by being very absorbent and I love that are home compostable. Show details · 1
Love these nappies – I’ve tried so many eco nappies and just nappies in general and they always feel so thin and i’m scared to put them on incase they leak overnight but these i truly love, so thick and absorbing and soft with it also being eco friendly! Wipes also one of the best ive used thick and nice and wet brilliant
Leakage and tabs not sticky so they fall off – I've used the newborn, newborn plus and the infant size the stick in the tabs is not sticky and they fall off. Also they leak through - not from the sides but actually from the back and front like the cover is not waterproof.. so I'm having to put a waterproof cover on top of it to make sure that the clothes and bedding don't end up saturated so I… Read more
can use up all the nappies and not throw them away. I can't understand honestly these good reviews and it's not that I'm using them wrong it actually seeps through - it's weird.
Will never use any other nappies – Mostly used these nappies from birth and they can’t be beaten. I’ve used other brands also (samples and when I ran out) and they just don’t compare in terms of quality and fit. Never had any leaks and no rashes or irritated skin. I find the fit quite generous and love that they are kinder on the environment. I can definitely feel that these… Read more · 1
nappies are more natural and kinder to baby.
They don’t have a line to show if they are soiled, but that never impacts me or baby, she will be changed after a feed or let me know when she needs changing.
I use the subscription service directly with Ecoriginals, which makes them a bit cheaper
Great nappies – Great product, more absorbent than Aldi nappies. The nappies are really soft to touch and the wipes are lovely and moist. We will continue to purchase these items. Thank you Show details · 1
Disappointed – I wanted to love these nappies but had constant leaks and poo explosions. I also found the waist would fall/slide down leaving big gaps around the legs and a saggy nappy. I love the neutral colour and want a more eco-friendly nappy but found these just don't seem to work for my bub. Show details

Converted – I was previously using 'eco' nappies purchased from a major supermarket chain but I've permanently converted to ecoorginals. Unlike other 'eco' nappies, ecoorginals aren't wrapped in plastic and are made to the highest quality. You can tell just by the look and feel they are better for the environment. The shipping was really quick too. Show reply
THE BEST NAPPIES ON THE MARKET BY FAR!!!! – I'm a Mum of twin girls so we use a lot of nappies and wipes etc! Like everyone else we used the Huggies brand in the hospital that is supplied to you, I remember thinking "these nappies are awful, surely there is something better?" . Once we were home I went of the search to find the perfect Nappy. I wanted something that was environmentally… Read more · 1
friendly, absorbent, cost effective and comfortable for my girls. Eco Originals were the best by far. They use plant based materials and are more than 90% biodegradable, which is a big tick from me. Having twins the last thing I want to be doing is changing nappies because of poor absorbency, leakages or blow outs. I have not had a single leak or blowout yet and the girls wear them all night. They claim to be 40% more absorbent and I'd definitely say this is fact for me. I also like the design, they are very slim line and not bulky like other brands. My girls are starting to be on the move and these nappies don't clump up between the legs and aren't so bulky when I'm dressing them in a wondersuit and sleeping bag at night. Another reason why my partner and I love them is the fact they have completely cleared up their nappy rash (we also use the wipes, great product too). The girls had quite bad nappy rash we were going through a whole jar of Sudocream a week until we started using these products, now we don't use any cream at all.
I hope that sharing my experience and opinions on this product can help other Mums and Dads share the same satisfaction that our family gets from their products.

Confused – I ordered a trial pack of nappies and wipes. I loved the wipes but I am shocked at all the positive reviews for the nappies. I have given the nappies a good go but the tabs will not stay. My baby is constantly wet when I put these on him because the nappy has come undone. I feel bad leaving a negative review for a company doing good in the world. I want to like these but they just don't do the job at all. Show details

I won’t use anything else! – I bought a trial pack in preparation for the arrival of my first baby. I wasn’t keen to use disposable nappies because they are terrible for the environment. I love the fact that you can trial these. Didn’t quite fit my tiny newborn however she grew into them by week 4 and I absolutely love them. We had to use Huggies for a while and we found our… Read more
baby developed nappy rash every time she wore them compared to the ecoriginals. I also found huggies wipes were nowhere near as gentle as ecoriginals. I love the plain white look of the nappy. I can’t wait to try my delivery of ecoriginals infant size. I really rate this brand and I hope this small business does well - it’s fantastic to be able to care your babies skin, keep them comfortable and look after the environment.
Highly rate these disposables! – High quality environmentally friendly nappy! We were looking for a nappy that could help give relief to our daughter that has been struggling with rashes since she was a new born. Eco Originals nappies were able to provide relief to this issue. The nappies are able to hold up for over night use, without leaving the skin damp. The wipes are of great quality, thick and the right amount of moisture! Show details
Excellent company ethics but nappies caused ongoing rash to my baby and leaked often – Initially ordered nappies to trial and experienced leaks with every other nappy change - I spoke to the company who took accountability and said I had been sent an older version with faulty tabs. They replaced them for me based on my baby's weight with the newer product and advised that generally babies get nappy rash when changing products (as… Read more
mine seemed to develop one since trying EcoOriginals, with no prior issues of this kind). While the people were lovely and tried very hard to support us into becoming ongoing customers, I still experienced leaks with the newer nappies. They sent a larger size, which improved the issue however, I decided to try another company instead of return to this one.
The things I didn't like overall was that they nappies are quite bulky, not very soft and for the entire month or so that I persisted with them, my baby had a nappy rash the whole time. I just swapped to another eco friendly brand and the issue with the nappy rash resolved virtually overnight.
While they are a lovely company who went above and beyond for us, this product didn't work for my baby and I found the experience a bit stressful overall. I ended up with a refund, which I was happy with.
My favorite nappies – These nappies are by far the best nappies ive used, great fit, comfy for baby, no incidents out the sides, and they last the night. Only downfall is they take too long to get to me over in WA Show details
I wanted to love this product – Based on its environmental profile, as well as some of the manufacturing (wipes) happening in New Zealand and excellent online reviews, I wanted to love this brand. Unfortunately, they just leak on my baby, straight through the absorbent padding. We typically change his nappy every 2 hours, and these nappies can’t last that long - each outfit has… Read more
been wet through. I don’t know whether we got a dud pack, but with the amount of washing they are generating and the not insignificant cost, I can’t justify ordering more to double check!! The tabs also came undone once, which hasn’t happened with other brands

Wonderful nappies with minimal eco footprint – These nappies are generous sizes, with a soft feel. They hold a great amount for my 3 month old, in both wee and poo. We love that we are doing the best for our environment and our kid's futures, with all the boxes this company ticks including but not limited to supporting sustainable forests, biodegradable products and home compostable as well, recyclable packaging etc. Show details
Love the new design! – I’ve been using ecoriginals since bub was about 2 months old and I am really impressed with the new design. They fit better, are less bulky and have never ever left red marks around the legs like other brands have. I’ve also never had leaks with this brand, and bub has never had nappy rash. Not once! My first had it all the time and I feel bad I… Read more
didn’t discover these sooner! Convenience of having nappies delivered to the door is also amazing. Saves having to cart massive nappy boxes to the car when I’m shopping and trying to deal with a toddler and a 1 year old! Honestly the best nappies ive used
Very disappointed with nappies and new wipes – I purchased a starter pack of the eco originals nappies just before my baby was born. They had great reviews and I loved that they were a great eco friendly option. My baby was within the correct weight range for the nappies that I purchased, however I found that they continually leaked for no apparent reason. I’ve tried fitting tighter, looser… Read more
etc. I assumed perhaps my baby was still too small so have waited 3 months for them to hopefully grow into them but have found the same issue again. Extremely disappointed, as I’ve not had the same issue with any other brand. I wanted to love the nappies but am now going to have to give up and waste the nappies I bought.
With my initial purchase of the nappies I also purchased some wipes. These were the old wipes that have now been updated. I found them to be sensational, loved them in every way. I was so impressed that I decided to do a bulk order when they had a sale of 90+ packets. I knew the bulk purchase would be the new and improved wipes, but assumed that given my good experience with the old ones that they would be just as good. I was wrong.
The new wipes are thin, flimsy and and are no where near as soft. The new wipes are also nearly impossible to get out of the packaging, with multiple wipes joining together and all coming out at once in a great big heap. They also dry out and the packaging tears easily. Entirely impossible to use one handed, which as a mother changing a baby is an absolute must. I can barely take them out with two hands, let alone one. I contacted the team and was given a spiel about how they were the new and improved range, where they listed all the eco credentials. I understand that they are new, and that sustainability wise they are better than before and that the new ingredients are better, but unfortunately this has lead to a significantly worse product that is not at all user friendly. I’m really angry that I purchased so many packets of wipes thinking they would be the same, if not better and am now left with a disastrous product and that eco originals just tell me that they’re ‘new and improved’. They’re not. Don’t buy them as there are other better eco brand products in the market.
I love this cruelty-free nappy – So I was quietly on the lookout for a product that will actually won't hurt my baby's bum and fortunately, this product is on the top of my list! I am very happy with the quality! Show details
Finally nappies and wipes that are protecting our environment whilst still having the convenience of being disposable – I LOVE these nappies and wipes. I am so glad I finally discovered this brand. Not only do the nappies and wipes work fantastically but I am now free of feeling guilty using disposable products on my kids. Let's face it we all love disposable and have better things to do than cleaning dirty cloth nappies just to help the environment. This is the perfect solution. LOVE IT Show details
Bad fit, leak a lot. Love the wipes though! – I really tried to love these nappies! We Bought the newborn ones when I started out- such a huge fit- they didn’t fit my bubba (2.7kg) for a long time. The pad between legs is too wide in my opinion and they leak so easily. Trying them again with infant sizes with my 4 month old, and again disappointed. So many leaks and the thick wad between the… Read more
legs doesn’t help it sit well. The side tabs are hard to secure in place it needs a little more stretch to pull around and be tight. Perhaps if there was more elastic they would work better? I won’t sleep my baby in them overnight as I am guaranteed she will have leaks and sleep wet for hours before I wake. I use them for daytime use around the house so if we have leaks it’s no hassle but I notice I would use more nappies than another brand (trying to avoid leaks) once I run out I won’t be buying again. On the bright side- I LOVE your original wipes, they are the only ones I buy. Extra thick embossed makes a big difference and the moisture level is perfect and no smells. Other brands say they don’t use fragrances oils only but they make me sneeze and irritate my nose so I know something is up with it. Your wipes are fabulous 10/10! I hope to see the original ones still as I’ve noticed a Manuka honey and Goat milk variety in stores.
