Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Eco Friendly Premium Bamboo Disposable Diapers by Andy Pandy - XL - for Babies Weighing 26+ lbs

Top positive review

From 2 to 5 stars!

May 4, 2018

Manufactured in China. There was an overwhelming chemical smell from the diapers when first opened. I let them air out for weeks and they still smell a bit. Not sure if the smell is from the manufacturing process or from the ingredients. We have continued to use this bag of diapers. They do well keeping the poop in but the urine seems to leak through the front of the diaper making the outer surface wet to the touch. Once this bag is finished we will save our money next time.

***UPDATE***
After the owner contacted me, I decided to give these another try. She refunded my order and sent me a replacement for free. The replacement pack was normal, no chemical smell and held waste good. We are satisfied with these diapers and how the owner handled this. I am changing my review from 2 stars to 5 stars because of her attention to customer service. I wish there were more people with this type of generosity in the world.

Andy Pandy vs Honest Diapers vs Naty vs Bambo

January 22, 2019

I did a lot of research on diapers and was determined to get the most chemical-free ones for our baby.

Andy Pandy seemed like the best option. I was willing to take the blame for poo spills out the side and overlook the night-time leaks in order to avoid chemicals. In the end, however, these diapers caused a diaper rash that just wouldn't go away. It seems the liner of the diaper, which sits on baby's skin, isn't effective in keeping baby dry. Just because it's made of aloe doesn't mean much. We went through probably about 12 packs of these.

Honest Diapers were flimsy. We didn't even get through a pack—they just weren't worth it.

Naty was interesting. I didn't mind the papery texture. BUT they leaked regularly at night, soaking baby's clothes and sheets. During the day they were fine, and they also kept poos in check (no spillage). I did find, however, for really big poos, the edges of the diapers seemed nearly saturated (again, papery texture...).

Bambo (the original version in the green, I haven't tried the white packaged one) have been the best. No leakage, no poo spillage, no diaper rash. Winner!

Also, I recommend TruKid eczema cream. That helped heal the very raw diaper rash that we had with the Andy Pandy diapers!

The absolute best diapers for our son!

June 28, 2014

Size: Small (Pack of 94)Verified Purchase

Me and my wife absolutely love these diapers! We have tried many other brands including Pampers Swaddlers, Huggies Little Snugglers, Earth's Best, Babyganics and Honest Company diapers. Andy Pandy by far are our favorite! Pampers have a plastic feel to them and obviously have A LOT of SAP ( that gel stuff) in them and also have that net-like upper layer. Huggies are a bit softer but just don't fit right around the thighs and leak all the time. Babyganics and Earth's best run a bit small and have a paper feel to them even though they are definitely better for the baby. They just don't stretch. So it seems they are uncomfortable for him. Honest Company diapers are very cute and offer different patterns. They stretch better and are slightly softer than Babyganics and Earth's Best. However, we felt that they still were a bit stiff and paper-like. They also don't have a wetness indicator.
Now, the Andy Pandy diapers are perfect. They are so silky soft both on the outside and inside. The company uses bamboo which is why they are so soft. Our son gets diaper rush pretty often from the non-green diapers but never got diaper rush while using Andy Pandy. These diapers are also green and great for the environment because bamboo is a very sustainable source.
The Andy Pandy diapers are plain white which we actually like a lot. They look very classy. They have a yellow strip that runs down the middle and turns blue/green when wet.
The side tabs and the back panel are very stretchy which allows to get a very snug fit. Our son is 2 months old and the small size fits him well now at 11-12lbs and probably will fit him for the next 2 months as well. It would have been good from probably about 9lbs. The only thing is if you want to use it on a 6-7lb newborn, it may be a bit big. However, it is very soft and stretchy so you may be able to get a snug fit. Regardless, I heard that the company is planning to start making a size extra small that would be perfect for newborns.
As far as the dryness and the absorbency, our son sleeps for 6 hours straight at night now and at times he would only wake up for a quick 10 minute breastfeed and goes back to sleep. So one time we left the diaper on for 10 hours because he fell back asleep and we didn't want to wake him up. Well, when we changed the diaper in the morning, my wife touched the inside of the diaper and it felt completely dry and oh very soft. No leaks, no gel coming out of the diaper - just soft and dry.
Dear Amazon, please start offering Andy Pandy on subscribe and save. We know they are fairly new but we would not join the Amazon Mom program otherwise. Andy Pandy is the only diaper we would want to subscribe to.

If you love blowouts, these are for you!

April 28, 2018

Size: Medium (Pack of 80)Verified Purchase

2 stars for being chemical-free, etc. They are very soft diapers. I cannot recommend them due to the fact that they leak every single time my baby poops. Every. Single. Time. I thought maybe I was putting them on the wrong way, not making them tight enough, or they were too big. No. It was not user error. I am done with these diapers after yet another blowout. It isn't worth it.

Edit: I just want to add that I ordered these 3 times so I did give them a fair chance.

Newborn Sz needs to be smaller.

April 23, 2016

Size: Newborn (Pack of 50)Verified Purchase

I like that they don't cause chemical burn/rashes (like other brands) and they don't smell like perfume, in fact they smell kinda plant like :-)

Good idea in theory but the Newborn size is off, too tall & wide. I had to fold them down and pull tab to fasten across the other. Being too large causes dampnes & leg leaks. I was hoping to use these until our lil girl is big enough to use our N cloth diapers but they're just too big :-(

I bought 2 packs of these but had to go back to using Huggies brand (which I didn't want to do because those made her lil bum red)

I'll be donating these to community action for families in need of diapers.. I'd say Newborn Sz is more like a Sz 1-2.

Perfect for overnight 1.5yr old 28lbs boy

September 19, 2018

Size: X-Large (Pack of 62)Verified Purchase

First, I have been looking for a diaper that makes me feel less guilty about throwing diapers into landfills that are not biodegradable. It took me awhile. I found Andy Pandy diapers snd I usually go for made in the usa, but I read up on the company and I admired the story of a strong start up. I got a size a little bigger than I wanted so I can see where some of the reviews where there are complaints may arise from the size you chose to try. I got a smaller size the 2nd time and was even more pleased. They fit nice, have not had a leak and they are great over night. They absorb so well. They are also very soft. I appreciate the wetness indicator as well. Maybe the issue is that they may not work as well on babies under 18m? I started using these when my little guy was 1.5 and we fell in love. They are a bit pricey and its sad because it would be great if more could afford them and that in turn would benefit the environment but doing businesd in the USA is not cheap. Perhaps consider other lower end options to put out there? Thank you. We love these diapers. Would be nice to see them with a subscribe option. Happy to answer questions as well.

Wonderful diapers

October 21, 2017

Size: Newborn (Pack of 50)Verified Purchase

My wife and I have used a package of the newborn size diapers over the last 10 days or so. At first we were a little concerned about the size; they seemed to be quite big for a 2-3 week old of 8+ pounds. After a couple days we came to appreciate the extra room. The diapers hold a lot of stuff without sagging and we didn't have any leaks or other malfunctions. Our son hasn't had any issues with them either, but he doesn't seem to have overly sensitive skin. After we ran out, I grabbed some Pampers swaddlers as a stop gap and they can't hold a candle to the Andy Pandy diapers. We just ordered 4 more packages that should hold us over for a few more weeks and can't wait for them to get here.

The diapers leak!

July 23, 2018

Size: Medium (Pack of 80)Verified Purchase

I like that these diapers are eco friendly, unfortunately they don’t hold liquid very good. The first time we purchased a package when my baby was just born. The diapers leaked pretty bad! I thought that maybe now, when he is 6 month old they would be a better fit. Last night he slept with these diapers. He normally sleeps through the night perfectly and soundly. Last night he starated crying in the middle of the night, I checked and he was all wet! He oinsie, the sheets and mattress were soaked! I had to change him which woke him up and scared, poor thing :(
The second time he woke up again in few hours with again a puddle underneath himself. It was a rough night for both of us. I would say the diapers are ok if you change them during the day like every an hour and half but they are not meant for sleeping in them.

Better than other natural diapers!

January 12, 2017

Size: Newborn (Pack of 50)Verified Purchase

I've been searching for my favorite natural diaper, and finally found it! Go-figure it is a brand I've never heard of before taking a chance on it based on reviews. And I'm so glad I did!

The image I shared is of my 8lb baby in a newborn diaper. Yes, newborn is a tad bigger than other newborn diapers, but they aren't way too big. They don't leak and hold wetness well. They are also super soft and not papery or stiff like other brands. I'm super pleased with my purchase!

Love these

July 26, 2017

Size: Small (Pack of 94)Verified Purchase

great diapers! they are super soft and silky feeling, absorbent, have the wetness line indicator (the only eco brand to have this), double gusseted to keep leaks from happening, eco friendly, chemical/scent free, and are really cute. I've tried lots of different brands but seem to keep returning to these even though they run 10 cents more per diaper on average. The sizing runs big and the size 1 started to fit my son at 9 lbs, ideal size though was 10 lbs (they would be huge on a 6 lb baby which is the size range listed on the bag). If you have a newborn under 8lbs, go for the newborn size although i haven't tried the newborn size i just know my son was swimming in these at first and ended up using honest diapers newborn. These diapers do leak if you put them on too loose or crooked (i think all diapers do). My son is a really heavy wetter and i leave them on overnight (from 10-4:30 am) and they feel dry inside even though they are super heavy from urine. These have not caused any diaper rashes unlike the pampers that i used while in the hospital. My one main complaint is that the company uses 100% biodegradable on advertising, but they are not. I was ready to make my own compost pile for these diapers but upon reading more- these diapers are only 85% biodegradable (the 100% claim was referring to bamboo which of course is 100% biodegradable) pretty sneaky andy pandy. Seeing how there is no 100% fully compostible (at home) biodegradable diaper out there, these will have to do.
