It’s no secret if you read my blog, follow my instagram or facebook page that I LOVE my cloth diapers. I’m actually a bit addicted to them.
You know the line from Despicable Me?
It’s So FLUFFY!!
Yeah, I pretty much want to say that every single day when I put cloth diapers on my son!
But what if I told you I had a secret?
For nearly 4 months I’d practically given up on using cloth diapers for Baby D, but thanks to Andy Pandy Bamboo Diapers that didn’t happen!
We battled and nearly lost to an epic acid rash that I couldn’t figure out for the life of me…
When this rash started to show up, I thought it was our cloth. We stopped using microfiber, we switched to natural materials against his bottom – That didn’t work. We treated for yeast. We stripped our diapers 3 times. That didn’t work. I was in tears when I realized the only thing that “worked” was switching to a disposables.
I wasn’t ready to be done with cloth, but seeing my child bleeding and screaming in pain the instant he pooped I knew I had no other choice. Switching to disposables was almost as hard as figuring out his rash was from his FPIES and not the cloth itself.
I couldn’t believe how much perfume some diapers had. I hated how many chemicals were in the mainstream disposables. One of the main reasons I was using cloth was do avoid chemicals against their bottoms. So we tried Eco-freindly options. We had leaks, we had the dreaded blow-outs, and we had gel stuff on his bottom. It was gross. I was fed up. I didn’t know what to do.
Finally someone suggested we check out Andy Pandy Bamboo Disposable Diapers. It was because of Andy Pandy diapers that we were able to finally get his rash under control and also to make our way back to using our beloved cloth diapers.
Andy Pandy bamboo diapers not only cleared up his rash quickly, they worked in every single fashion that the other disposable diapers I tried failed.
My Review:
There are so many reasons why I love Andy Pandy bamboo disposable diapers. Let’s start with the bamboo!
- Bamboo is 100% biodegradable! It’s strong, soft, and naturally absorbs odors!
- Plus bamboo is a very renewable resource! So it’s very eco-friendly!
- The bamboo makes the diaper super absorbable – we’ve gone 12 hours sleeping on his belly without leaks.
- The bamboo actually wicks the moisture away from baby, and it’s thermal regulating (When it’s hot it keeps baby cool, when it’s cool it keeps baby warm!).
- Finally, bamboo is naturally hyper-allergenic and antibacterial.
Those reasons alone were enough, but there is more!
- The diaper has gusseted leg ruffles on the inside to help prevent accidents. The only time we ever had an issue is when this was tucked in, but even then we have even had a blow out.
- The diaper has an aloe liner that is very soothing to baby’s bottom.
- They come with a wetness indicator.
Finally, but equally as important the Andy Pandy diapers contain NO chlorine, perfume, lotion, Latex, TBT, PVC, or Phthalates.
The only negative I’ve found to these diapers is that sometimes after wearing them all night, he will have bamboo fibers or strings on his private area. That is easily wiped away, and certainly isn’t a deal breaker in my opinion.
Additionally, they aren’t the most affordable diaper on the market. You are paying around $.52 per diaper (at least for the size Large – less for the small and medium, more for the XL), but to me finding a diaper that was able to heal my son’s rash, not leak, not smell of chemicals or perfume, and was friendly to the environment I’m happy to pay the additional cost.
Final Thoughts?
I couldn’t be happier with these diapers! If you wanted to use cloth diapers, but they didn’t work out, or you travel and need something different – Andy Pandy is going to be the best bet for you! They are good for the environment, good for baby, and they also give a portion of sales to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital!! They worked so well for us that we are 98% back into cloth, something that only a few months ago I thought would never happen. We always keep a package on hand in case the baby’s rash comes back or we are traveling though! I wish I could give the person who made these diapers a huge hug. They may just be diapers, but they made my son feel better!
Andy Pandy bamboo diapers come in 4 sizes:
You can buy Andy Pandy Diapers exclusively on Amazon.com. (Personally I love that option! I never have to leave the house to buy diapers!)
You can also connect with this amazing brand with any questions on their Facebook page!
What is your favorite feature of this diaper?
I received diapers for my review, however I have continued to buy them and all my opinions are my own.

I would have loved these when we traveled with my littles. I hated bringing cloth on vacation or using it when they were sick. I do wish companies like this would make Pull-ups. We don’t want diapers at night, and I’d love to have a more natural option for a training pant.
That is a wonderful idea!! I will suggest that to them!! I totally agree with you!!
Oh wow! I’m glad the rash went away. I wish I had heard about these diapers when my daughter was still in them. I love natural products all the way!
I like the fact they are biodegradable and look so comfy. I had never heard of them before but so many new moms should. Sharing your post.
This is just awesome. I had no clue that these even existed… My girls had ultra-sensitive skin and these would have really helped. Thanks for the info
There are a lot of good things about this diaper. My favorite thing, however, is that it’s made from bamboo, a 100% renewable resource.
I love the fact it is friendly to the environment ….we only get one Earth and our kids deserve to have it at its best ….
When I was cloth diapering; there were times when I need disposables; like when Grandma babysat; because she wouldn’t do cloth. bamboo diapers were the only disposables I liked to use. They just worked so much better! This is the first time I have seen this brand…but they look fantastic! I would definitely use them if we had another baby!
I’ve never heard of these diapers, definitely worth looking into! I like the whole natural approach to diapers!
These diapers sound amazing! I love how they have aloe, and I love how they are thermal. I wish when my daughter was in diapers they had something like this!
The fact that bamboo is naturally hyper-allergenic and antibacterial. The diapers sound like a great substitute for cloth diapers.
These sound amazing!!! I’ve never heard of them before, so I’m glad I caught your post! So happy you found something that cleared up his issues. After last fall, I know how awful that is!
I like that they don’t contain any chlorine, perfume, lotion, Latex, TBT, PVC, or Phthalates. That, and they are super affordable!
Those sound great, I like that they do not have harmful chemicals in them.
How awesome! I haven’t ever heard of these before but they sound amazing!
Wow! These look awesome, I love how natural they are. We stopped cloth because of Olivia’s bad rashes. I am really going to look into hear for the girls.
I’ve used those diapers on my son when he was just a baby, then we went to cloth diapers. My son has such sensitive skin and these bamboo diaper didn’t irritate his skin.
I love being able to order from amazon too! I’m going to look at these. We cloth diaper during the day but my son’s skin is too sensitive to be in wet cloth for 12 hours overnight. Right now we use a disposable nighttime diaper, but I think this would be a better option for us.
I absolutely love that Andy Pandy diapers contain NO chlorine, perfume, lotion, Latex, TBT, PVC, or Phthalates! We use cloth during the day but recently had to switch to disposables at night because my LO is a super soaker and soaks through a double stuff with hemp or bamboo as the second layer! I’ll have to check these out!
Oh wow, I didnt know they made diapers like this. Thats way cool! Amazing that bamboo can be used that way.
I’ve never heard of this brand before. I’ll have to recommend this to my friend. On another note, I love how you added the scene from Despicable Me. That scene was one of my favorite parts of the movie!
How in the world have I not heard of these?!? I absolutely HATE the chemicals in the typical disposables… but I am using them right now. I cloth diaper and then fall away and then come back to cloth, only to fall away again. I guess I get lazy. Thanks so much for listing all the great things about Andy Pandy Bamboo diapers – I had no idea that bamboo was so great. I just opened up the amazon link to these in another tab so that I can come back later today, I think I’m going to give these a try. THANKS!!
I love diapers like this! I had never heard of these, so thanks for sharing. I am a cloth mama, but we definitely keep disposables around. And right now? Between my daughter’s yeast rash and my broken washer that won’t spin, we’re using all disposables. But I still want to make the safest decision possible for both my daughter and the environment. Yay for more good options!!
I’m going to have to share this with my cousin who is struggling with cloth diapering and diaper rashes….this might be just what she’s been looking for! Thanks Emily!
I just bought the Andy Pandy diaper in February 2017 from diapers.com (180 ct size small) for $73.98 minus 17% off coupon) for a final total of $68.38 (plus tax and free shipping). It’s pretty easy to find a 15-17% off online coupon for diapers.com. That works out to about $0.36 per diaper which is more than reasonable for a almost fully biodegradable diaper (86.7% not 100% according to Jessica Hansen). It’s also cheaper than the equivalent Bambo diapers which are not any better in my experience and cost closer to $0.50-$0.60/ct even in bulk. Even the good absorption non-earth friendly diapers are around $0.30 to $0.35/ct.
The Andy Pandys are a little bit large, but that might be a good thing if your newborn is on the hefty side or produces pee nonstop like mine does. The diaper is very well secured and I rarely get blow-outs or leaks.
Also if you’re trying to decide between different earth friendly diapers, I find that Andy Pandy ($$$) and Bambo ($$$$) are the best out of the ones I’ve tried. Naty by Nature diapers are terrible (leaks like mad because non-absorbent and poor fitting/securing gussets). Earth’s best are OK but too small for my newborn (9 lb) even though they’re supposed to be good up until 10 lb. I get blow-outs regularly and it feels completely soaked after one or two pees. I haven’t tried Seventh Generation but I can’t imagine that they would work any better than my Andy Pandys.
