Bambo

The latest European import from Abena of Denmark, Bambo Nature is making waves in the United States.

Bambo Nature diapers are made in Denmark,  are certified by that Astma-Allergi Danmark, as well as boast the Nordic Ecolabel and use FSC certified wood products.  The European sizing takes a little getting used to, but the benefit of a range is definitely worth it.
All sizes also boast a wetness indicator, focus on soft, breathable material while keeping baby’s sensitive skin dry.  Somehow, Bambo managed to do all this while keeping the diapers thin and the softest diaper we’d seen! 

Bambo clearly marks the materials used:
Textile ourter of polypropylene and polyethylene.  Absorbant material blend from polyacrylate (SAP) and cellulose, inner layer of non-woven polypropylene.  “Acquisition layer” of non-woven PET/Co-PET.  Fasteners made from nonwoven polypropylene and polyethylene.  Glue from synthetic rubber and Elastication from elastane. 
NO perfumes or moisturizing lotions

Diaper Dabbler offers samples in 2 sizes:

Size 2 (comparable to US version of size 1)

Size 3+ (Midi Plus): covers the widest range of 13-31 lbs. is also one of the tallest and widest brands at 5” wide, just over 8” tall
