7.2/10 overallFrom about £10 per pack
Plant-based, chlorine-free disposable nappies aimed at parents wanting a lower-plastic, eco-conscious option.
Check priceThe verdict
Naty's BioEmbrace nappies use plant-based, chlorine-free materials with FSC and EU Ecolabel certification, priced from about £10 per pack. They suit eco-conscious parents willing to pay a premium and who want a lotion- and fragrance-free nappy for sensitive skin - overnight absorbency reports are mixed compared with top mainstream performers, and they're less widely stocked.
Naty's BioEmbrace nappies use plant-based materials, including a corn-starch-based outer layer, and a chlorine-free absorbent core, with FSC and EU Ecolabel certifications behind the eco claims rather than just marketing language.
Against the Pampers Baby-Dry and Aldi Mamia nappies already in this category, Naty trades away some of their price-per-nappy value in exchange for reduced plastic and oil content — a similar positioning to how WaterWipes competes against Huggies and Pampers on the wipes side of this category, prioritising ingredient simplicity over lowest cost.
The trade-offs are real: Naty costs noticeably more per nappy than mainstream brands, parent reports on overnight absorbency are mixed compared with top mainstream performers like Pampers Baby-Dry, and it's less widely available on supermarket shelves, mostly sold online or through specialist eco retailers.
It suits eco-conscious parents who are willing to pay a premium and who prioritise a lotion- and fragrance-free nappy for sensitive skin, more than parents chasing the lowest cost-per-change.

How we scored it
Leak Protection
Overnight and long-stretch absorbency and how reliably it prevents blowouts.
Skin Gentleness
Fragrance-free formulation and suitability for newborn or sensitive skin.
No lotions, fragrance or chlorine processing puts it ahead of mainstream brands for parents managing sensitive or eczema-prone skin, similar to WaterWipes' positioning among wipes here.
Value for Money
Cost per change/wipe versus performance, and availability of larger packs.
Costs meaningfully more per nappy than Pampers Baby-Dry or Aldi Mamia, so it scores lower on pure value despite the eco-credentials.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Naty BioEmbrace nappies eco-friendly?+

Are Naty nappies as absorbent as Pampers overnight?+
Parent reports on overnight absorbency are mixed compared with top mainstream performers like Pampers Baby-Dry, so it's a trade-off - Naty prioritises reduced plastic and oil content over matching that top-end absorbency for heavy overnight wetters.

Where can I buy Naty nappies?+
They're less widely stocked in supermarkets, mostly sold online or through specialist eco retailers, and cost noticeably more per nappy than mainstream brands like Pampers or Aldi's Mamia range.
