Do disposable diapers and cloth diapers contain indications of PFAS “forever chemicals?” Mamavation community members asked me to study this, knowing that babies can use over 4,000 diapers in the first three years of their life. How you diaper your baby matters because if PFAS are present in diapers, they may be absorbed by your baby. Mamavation wants to help you find the safest diapering alternatives for your bundle of joy. You’ve trusted Mamavation to bring you topics like best organic infant formulas, safest baby foods sans heavy metals, & safest breathable crib mattresses. Now join us for a consumer study on diapers from over 40 brands lab-tested for indications of PFAS “forever chemicals.” [updated additional products on 4/29/2024]

Mamavation’s EPA-certified laboratory found indications of PFAS “forever chemicals” inside popular disposable diapers and cloth diapers after analyzing 40 diaper brands on the market today. PFAS are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances that have been used for many decades as stain-resistant, oil-resistant, grease-resistant, & water-resistant chemicals in commerce. From our vantage point, it looks as if the diapering industry has also used PFAS for water repellency similar to raincoats & hiking boots.
PFAS is found in many other areas of our homes with some examples being cookware, makeup, drinking water, contact lenses & dental floss. These chemicals are linked to serious health effects, which we will discuss later. Because PFAS are so toxic, Mamavation has commissioned our own scientific studies on indications of PFAS in products to make recommendations for disposable diapers and cloth diapers using PFAS-free materials. Read Mamavation’s articles (see below) on these products to find which brands are organic-fluorine-free.
For this consumer study, Mamavation sent 65 diapers & similar accessories marketed for children from 40 brands to an EPA-certified laboratory looking for indications of toxic PFAS “forever chemicals.” Here’s what we found:
Linda Birnbaum, Scientist Emeritus and Former Director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and National Toxicology Program & Scholar in Residence at Duke University, and Adjunct Professor at both University of North Carolina, & Yale University had this to say: “This is something that needs to be addressed immediately by the diaper industry! PFAS is not the type of chemical class that we can ignore around small infants. They accumulate inside the body and are close to impossible to get rid of. We already know that exposure to these chemicals can cause problems in pregnant women, but the effects on babies at this young age are mostly unknown. But just because we don’t know all the health impacts doesn’t mean they are safe. This idea is categorically false, especially around infants. I’m recommending IMMEDIATE action from the diaper industry to identify and avoid PFAS by doing total organic fluorine testing (instead of only testing specific compounds one by one) to better protect these infants.”
PFAS “forever chemicals” are problematic for human health and the environment. They are considered ubiquitous, persistent, and toxic. In fact, many of these PFAS chemicals can last for years or decades in our bodies.
Pregnant women and babies are the most vulnerable to the effects of toxic chemicals like PFAS in the environment. The development of a child can be disrupted by toxic chemicals that mimic natural hormones in such a way that are permanent and profound. Therefore, it’s imperative to reduce the amount of PFAS your children are exposed to from food, water, and consumer products like diapers. Mamavation is dedicated to helping you do that when you are shopping for diapers.
Here are some of the health effects of different PFAS “forever chemicals:”
It’s also very clear based on biomonitoring evidence from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) that PFAS are in all Americans. Therefore, these impacts can harm most Americans.
While some diaper companies use third-party certifications like FSC-certified to prove they are using materials from responsibly managed forests, there is one other certification we felt the need to explain. We found some diapers use OEKO-TEX certification to showcase how they do not off-gas problematic chemicals in trace amounts or cause exposure to certain toxic chemicals. However, we found some major issues with OEKO-TEX in regard to PFAS that you need to know about.
OEKO-TEX has created new rules for PFAS in their certification, which include testing for PFAS chemicals, however, it’s not exactly a PFAS-free certification. Their new rules state that fabrics and products (in some of their certifications, but not all) need to be tested for organic fluorine. What they don’t tell you, however, is the testing they mandate (Extractable Organic Fluorine testing) doesn’t extract PFAS polymers, like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) also known as “Teflon.” Why does this matter? Well, if you aren’t testing for PTFE, you won’t find PTFE in those tests. (We found two perfect examples of this possibility in our testing when we found an indication of PFAS in diapers with OEKO-TEX certification.)
So PTFE (the same chemical coating on certain non-stick pans) could potentially be in OEKO-TEX-certified products and no one would know because the testing mandated by the certification would not be able to tell. From our vantage point as we have helped several brands behind the scenes become fluorine-free, the vast majority of the problems we have encountered over the past three years are mostly related to PTFE. PTFE is also known to be very common in manufacturing in general, meaning it’s safe to assume it’s being used somewhere along the supply chain via lubrications, coatings on machinery, fluorinated plastics, etc. Therefore although OEKO-TEX is claiming to be PFAS-free, they aren’t telling you ALL the details to help you make an educated decision on PFAS. They use a testing approach that avoids PTFE. This means they cannot claim their products are PFAS-free.
OEKO-TEX is already in the crosshairs of California based on laws passed that protect children under the age of 12 from PFAS. AB 652 became law on July 1st, 2023. This law states no product for children under 12 can have intentionally added PFAS that has a functional or technical effect or ≥ 100 ppm (as total organic fluorine). Did you notice it says “total organic fluorine” not “extractable organic fluorine?” That’s because California recognizes that EOF testing does not extract PFAS polymers and would miss potential issues. So is it possible to purchase an OEKO-TEX product with PFAS levels that do not meet California’s new standards? It’s very possible because they are using the wrong kind of testing.
Another California bill signed into law that goes into effect in 2025 states that no apparel company can have PFAS above 100 ppm, but then by 2027, it goes lower to 50 ppm. This is a recognition that even “unintentional PFAS” will no longer be legal in California above certain thresholds using “total organic fluorine” testing just like we have done. We believe OEKO-TEX should reconsider what type of testing they are requiring from brands to stay within compliance with California and its laws. They should also police the marketing of their certification to ensure this issue is being clearly communicated to the public.
Terrence Collins, Teresa Heinz Professor of Green Chemistry & Director of the Institute for Green Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University had this to say :
“Mamavation is providing a very important service with this study. I looked at the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 that some manufacturers are proud to proclaim their diapers meet. The Standard has a Class 1 section for chemicals in products appropriate for babies and this, appropriately, has the strictest limits. While the standard has been getting progressively stricter on PFAS limits over time, I would urge an even tighter strictness. Mamavation’s study deals with total organic fluorine in diapers, both extractable and non-extractable, and makes the point that it is a weakness of the Standard that it does not consider non-extractable organic fluorine. But another weakness is that the latest edition of the Standard still allows 10 ppm of Extractable Organic Fluorine (EOF)—too much, way too much! The EPA has set new concentration lifetime limits for the most toxic PFAS compounds in water that are so low that they are currently impossible to detect at any given time. We absolutely don’t want babies exposed to products containing 10 ppm of Extractable Organic Fluorine which is massive compared to the water standards! More broadly, whether extractable or non-extractable, PFAS chemicals once manufactured and distributed through commerce end up in the ecosphere somewhere and that can be in babies. Nature is helpless to get rid of them on any reasonable time scale. We really need to put the brakes on making PFAS and replace them, where necessary, as quickly as possible with alternatives that have been tested for safety to the highest standards of contemporary science.”
Whether you have a disposable diaper or a cloth diaper, these products are complicated and require many parts to absorb liquids and keep leaks from happening. The most common type of diaper we tested was marketed as hypoallergenic to a baby’s skin which means it uses gentler materials and excludes problematic ingredients like synthetic fragrance, so the baby does not have skin irritation and rashes. This doesn’t mean the diaper is “non-toxic” but rather it’s less problematic for diaper rash. We found through our testing that a claim of hypoallergenic does not necessarily mean no PFAS.
Here are some of the categories of chemicals, in addition to PFAS, that we looked for when ranking premium diapers & non-toxic diapers.
Most disposable diapers in the past were made from a type of wood pulp that was dyed with chlorine bleach to make them whiter. Back then chlorine produced carcinogenic dioxins that babies were exposed to. Today, this has mostly changed but there are still some differences to watch out for in the bleaching process. Most diapers are made from specialized polymer materials including cellulose, polypropylene, polyester, and polyethylene. They are still mostly dyed, but different methods are used to accomplish this in the United States:
A recent study published in the Journal of Environmental Science and Technology found toxic Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in many baby diapers. The baby diapers that were studied were found to have several known or suspected carcinogens including benzene and 1,4-dioxane. Unfortunately, they did not alert the consumer as to which brands had the highest levels of VOCs.
One of the problems that arises with diapers is the lack of disclosure. It was impossible for us to get the materials and chemicals used to produce all these diapers even when we emailed. In fact, some brands simply refused to respond to consumer questions about this. Is this illegal? No.
So how do you avoid VOCs in disposable diapers? It’s impossible to do without testing because even plant-based materials can be problematic. The easiest way to do this is to look for third-party certifications like EWG Verified or OEKO TEX Standard 100 (but not for PFAS).
Fragrances are used in diapers to mask unpleasant odors. That sounds great until you understand what fragrances are made of and how potentially problematic they are to infants and toddlers.
“Fragrance” is either made from petroleum (synthetic fragrances) or botanical (natural fragrance) raw materials or both. It can also contain ingredients like solvents, stabilizers, UV absorbers, preservatives, phthalates, and dyes. These types of chemicals vary in toxicity. But there is lots of mystery surrounding “fragrance” inside products like diapers.
Phthalates are another class of ingredient that is also hormone-disrupting and found in lots of personal care products. Phthalates are commonly used as a solvent (a liquid that can dissolve other substances) and fixative (a substance that can help the fragrance last longer on the skin) inside fragrances. The most common phthalate inside fragrance is diethyl phthalate (DEP) and it’s considered toxic by the Toxic Substances Portal of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
Phthalates are linked to health impacts like obesity and hyperactivity in children, and the kicker is infertility in men by degrading sperm quality. (In other words, wearing fragrances with phthalates when pregnant with a baby boy is a problem.) In fact, phthalates are so problematic to male fertility, they are being restricted in places like China. You can also find phthalates inside adhesives and dyes used in diapers.
Many disposable diapers may contain toxic chemicals called tributyltin (TBT) or other organotin compounds (organic tin compounds) like dibutyltin (DBT) or monobutyltin (MBT). Organotin substances have toxic effects which include neurotoxicity, endocrine disruption, reproductive and developmental toxicity, and immunotoxicity.
These compounds are very harmful to aquatic life and are used as antifungal agents in wood pulp mills or as stabilizers in the manufacturing process of plastic polymers. Because disposable diapers represent 4% of solid waste and are the third largest single consumer item found in landfills, it’s important to understand how these chemicals also interact with the environment. Several organotins, including TBT and DBT are obesogens, that is, contribute to weight gain.
Adhesives, lotions, dyes & wetness indicators were the biggest problems we saw in terms of transparency. Most diaper companies are not 100% transparent about their use of adhesives, lotions, dyes, or wetness indicators at all. In fact, we emailed several of them and got very few responses about this topic and even less usable information.
If you are looking for a disposable diaper that is 100% transparent about these issues, we would recommend the following brand. We took the liberty of reaching out to them to get a discount for you:
We were very surprised by the chemicals and materials used in the cloth diapering industry because when you look online for toxic-free diapering options, many websites recommend cloth diapers. So we started by interviewing a retired industry expert who started up her own cloth diaper company many years ago. In our interview, she told us she believed she was pushed out of the industry because she demanded better materials from her manufacturers which they did not have.
This story struck us as very problematic so we decided immediately to start testing cloth diapers for indications of PFAS “forever chemicals” in addition to disposable diapers and we are very glad we did.
Not only did we find indications of PFAS in some very popular cloth diaper products, but we also wanted to explore for you additional materials we found could be problematic inside cloth diapers:
Some websites advise customers to wash their diapers multiple times before using them. We are unconvinced washing in the laundry will completely break down these chemicals.
What materials should you focus on diapering your baby with instead? The best cloth diapers use organic cotton, wool, or hemp, however, most of them are made with PUL and TPU waterproof covers.
A recent study covered in the Journal of Science & Technology looked at the toxicological and chemical signatures of the most common types of plastics using in vitro bioassays and nontarget high-resolution mass spectrometry. They found that “Most (74%) of the 34 plastic extracts contained chemicals triggering at least one endpoint, including baseline toxicity (62%), oxidative stress (41%), cytotoxicity (32%), estrogenicity (12%), and antiandrogenicity (27%).” Here is how they ranked the plastics from highest to lowest concern. Notice that PUR is close to the very top of concerns and therefore should not be used around infants inside diapers, especially if you are planning to wash over and over again which could break down the polymers over time.
Pete Myers, Chief Scientist at Environmental Health Sciences, Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University, and Co-Author of Our Stolen Future, had this to say: “The chemical issues Mamavation has uncovered here sound like the Wild West. This is one industry that needs to clean up its act with much greater transparency and much stronger efforts to avoid toxic chemicals. Clearly, the chemistry of diapers can be as messy as what the babies unload into them. Actually, much messier because of the presence of chemicals like PUR and PFAS. In terms of cloth diapers, you are best off using organic cotton diapers that do not contain additives to make them more absorbent or more waterproof. Even PLA can be problematic.”
Diapers can be so expensive, especially considering you are purchasing about 4,000 of them in the first year of your child’s life. We looked around for diapers that we have been able to “pass” through testing and scrutiny of disclosed materials. One way we found to save on diapers is to set yourself up on Amazon with automatic purchasing.
Amazon discounts diapers 20% when you sign up as an Amazon Prime member with their Subscribe and Save program. We found Pamper Pure, Dyper, Honest, Mama Bear, and a few more available. These brands represent the “better” not “best” categories. All you have to do is sign up for Amazon Prime and then join Amazon Family for free where you sign up to receive diapers automatically. You can sign up for any type of schedule ranging from delivery dates from 1-6 months.
You’ll also find plenty of brands that we have as “better” because they did not have indications of PFAS “forever chemicals,” however, those diapers may have other materials and ingredients that are not as safe overall.
Before we launch into the raw data from our lab, we wanted to remind you about all the other studies we have done on indications of PFAS “forever chemicals” inside the food and consumer products you may bring inside your home. Each one of these studies were done in a similar fashion as this study with brands sent independently to the lab and raw data of those labs at the bottom of the post.
Disposable diapers and cloth diapers were purchased between February and August of 2023. For this consumer study, some diapers were purchased directly by Mamavation while others were donated by community members. Each product was recorded in our database and then sent directly to the lab.
Scott Belcher, Ph.D. & Associate Professor with the Center for Environmental & Health Effects of PFAS at North Carolina State University says “fluoropolymers, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or Gore-Tex®, are extremely common forms of PFAS that could be contributing to the organic fluorine found in diapers. Methods used for detecting individual PFAS, such as PFOA or GenX, cannot directly identify PTFE. However, the analysis of total organic fluorine does account for all PFAS contaminants in diapers, including PTFE. Therefore, this method of testing serves as a good ‘spot-check’ of consumer products.”
Our lab found indications of PFAS “forever chemicals” inside the products within this category. The detection limit of our testing was 10 ppm, meaning these brands had traces above 10 ppm. Note: If there were traces below that amount, our testing would not have been able to detect it.

Our lab did NOT find indications of PFAS “forever chemicals” within the products of this category. However, there are other materials or ingredients used that we find somewhat concerning. For disposable diapers, we placed diapers that were processed using ECF here or had unknown fragrances, lotions, or dyes. For reusable cloth diapers, we placed products here using additional waterproofing materials made of PUL or TPU. For more context, we’ve included notes from our partners from The Gentle Nursery. We do not recommend brands that are marked with a * because of lack of ingredient disclosure, however, we still think it’s important for you to know we did not find an indication of PFAS on them.
Our lab did NOT find any indications of PFAS “forever chemicals” within these diapers. These products also avoid the problematic ingredients and materials we are concerned about. All brands here use TCF processing and avoid most of the other problems we covered. Reusable diapers do not use PUL materials. For more context, we’ve included notes from The Gentle Nursery.
Can you please test earth and Eden and Amazon brand night time diapers?
Could you please test huggies the skin essentials brand. It seems to be the one brand that doesn’t give my baby diaper rash that I can buy at target.
Please test bamboo nappies, available from Amazon.
Could you test the Sloomb Bamboo Cloth Diapers that they have in the market, my fiance and I are considering buying some in the near future and would like to make sure it’s the right choice.
Another request to test Parasol diapers please
I’m surprised you didn’t mention “Joone” diapers from France. Best technology and their innovator is setting the benchmark in France.
Please look into them and their CEO.
We have ordered them to ship to Canada (customs are high but for us it is worth it).
I use rascal and friends and I’m confused about how they tested. Did one diaper test positive and the other did not?
I also use red wood cloth diapers. It’s a small company and I’m wondering how I can find out if they are toxic?
Hi! The discount code for HealthyBaby does not work. I added a subscription order to my cart (automatically 30% off) and got the following error message: MAMAVATION couldn’t be used with your existing discounts.
You have listed Coterie in your list of “best” diapers, but what do you make of the recent lawsuit against them that alleges their diapers contain PFAs? I wanted to try these diapers but now I’m not feeling super confident. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/product-liability-and-toxics-law/diaper-maker-says-false-ad-suit-over-pfas-should-get-tossed
What about EveryLife diapers? Have they been tested??
Could you test HEB’s Field & Future day and overnight diapers? This is supposed to be a clean brand. HEB is a major grocery store in Texas that outcompetes other grocery stores.
Why does it say “ECF” on the package of Pampers Pure if you claim they are “TCF”? Which is it? Thank you
Is anyone else confused by the pampers pure description? It first states it does not contain perfumes. But then it states that it does. Is it saying that the company lied and testing was positive for perfumes?!? Please clarify as I personally don’t smell anything with these diapers and one of the main reasons for picking it was due to the no fragrance.
I’m also confused. On the Pampers Pure package it says “ECF” and not “TCF”. Why is that? I thought they are supposedly TCF?
Hello. I love your website. Can you please test parasol?
So amazing that you do this! Please please test Parasol Next!!!
Hi, Could you help to test the brand Nest Diapers? They are made in North America, and are OEKO-TEX certified, thank you!
BumGenius makes a big and bigger size for special needs older kids. wonder what is in their cloth diapers and if there are any other larger size diapers 75+ lbs?
Also would love to see EveryLife tested 🙂
Thank you so much for this updated list! I would love to see how EveryLife diapers rank. They claim to be more natural, and I like their mission that they donate diapers and money to families in need.
Do you have any info on EveryLife diapers? Like them and support their company but would like to know more about chemical levels?
Hi, can you also please comment on/test pura and ecopeaco diapers?
Can you please test Pura diapers?
So I have the GroVia Hybrids and it says the 323 Ppm but only for burgundy the color I have that resembles them is the color “Marsala” are those the same ones? Would you considered all to be somewhat toxic?
I would love to see you test Elskbar cloth diapers for PFAS. They say their shells also will get wet and need to be washed each time because they have have “built-in absorbency”. Would that mean it likely doesn’t have PFAS??
Also, regarding TPU, the Elskbar website makes it sound like that is a more eco-friendly, non-toxic option. From their website:
“The waterproof part of the diaper is made of the material TPU. Often, cloth diapers have PUL as the waterproof outer layer, but it is produced by a chemical process that is not that environmentally friendly. TPU, on the other hand, is manufactured during heat treatment and is therefore free of chemical glue. We are proud to offer cloth diapers with TPU.”
Are you aware that the healthy baby diapers specifically list on their website that the top sheet (which touches baby) is all plastic and not organic cotton? The back sheet has 15% organic cotton.. the part that doesn’t even touch the baby. I’d hate for readers to be led astray here.
Do you have any info on ecopea company disposable diapers and pull ups? They have made several lists for being non toxic and safe.
Can you please consider testing “field & future” diapers and pull ups, by H-E-B brand? They’re labelled as free from fragrance/chlorine bleaching/parabens/natural rubber latex, and are very cost-attractive 😯. Thank you!
Did you test Thrive Market diapers for PFAS? If not, will you in the future? I’d love to see how those rank. Thanks!
Which was the OsoCozy cloth diaper tested? A prefold? A fitted? A cover? Was is organic cotton or conventional/would that make a difference?
So I used the Nora’s nursery cloth diapers before my baby was potty trained and right now I’m using the target up and up brand for the 3t-4t pull ups for my tow year old when she sleeps. Where do Those fall in this study?
We didn’t test that brand.
Can you test bumgenius elemental diapers and nest disposable diapers?
