VeryVery claims to combine the convenience of disposable diapers with the quality and eco-friendliness of cloth diapers. As a foster mom and registered dietitian, I agreed to take a few packs home and test the diapers for two weeks for The Health Board, evaluating their comfort for sensitive skin, absorbency, and, importantly, how they compare to other diaper brands on the market.
Key Findings
- Softness & Breathability: My baby felt comfortable throughout the day. The material didn’t cause any irritation, even when they were active.
- High Absorbency: During my trial, the 12-hour leak protection claim held up pretty well. Nighttime was particularly impressive, showing strong absorbency without any incidents.
- Eco-friendly Materials: The brand claims to use 70% plant-based materials, and the diapers themselves feel high-quality and gentle.
- Blowout Protection: Aside from one major blowout, the diapers contained every mess.
- Hypoallergenic: My baby has sensitive skin, but these diapers caused no adverse reactions.
Things I Looked for in My VeryVery Diaper Review
When evaluating VeryVery diapers, I considered two main factors. First (and most importantly), how healthy and effective were they for a baby's skin and comfort? With my background in perinatal and postpartum nutrition, I know how critical it is to make sure what we put in and on our baby’s bodies is safe.
Second, how well did these diapers hold up as an eco-friendly alternative to some of the best diapers available? Whether or not VeryVery got my approval depended on how well they balanced these two qualities.
With an industry fit to burst with so-called "premium" diapers, however, I didn't want to pull any punches when critiquing VeryVery. So, to get answers, I did a deep dive into the materials used, the design, and the overall functionality of the diapers. From the softness of the materials to the eco-friendliness of the production process, I assessed every inch of VeryVery to give the most comprehensive breakdown possible.
Material & Construction
Right out of the package, VeryVery diapers are notably softer than many competitors, even leading brands. From what I can tell, this is due to their use of ultra-soft cotton and pulp from FSC-certified forests. While they do contain the minimum amount of plastic required for 12-hour absorbency, VeryVery claims this plastic is nontoxic and sourced from recycled plastic bags.
Despite this dedication to sustainable sourcing and softness, VeryVery's diapers are surprisingly durable, with secure closures and elasticated leg and waist areas. This meant that even when my baby was especially active, the diapers stayed secure for as long as I needed them to.
Absorbency & Leak Protection
I know a number of parents would never consider buying daytime diapers from a company if they couldn't also buy nighttime versions, too, and VeryVery lacks a dedicated "overnight" diaper. Still, VeryVery diapers performed well, regardless of when I used them.
From what I can tell, this is due to the company's more substantial, ultra-absorbent core that keeps moisture away, ensuring your baby remains drier for longer and making diaper rash less likely. Also, these features meant fewer diaper changes and a less full diaper pail throughout the day (and night), which saves a significant amount of time.
Comfort & Fit
Despite their slightly more substantial design, VeryVery diapers fit snugly for the size I tried, avoiding the gaps and sagging that are common with other disposable diapers. Even better, I believe my little one fidgeted less with these diapers than with others, which tells me that they're as comfortable as they look.
Sustainability & Environmental Impact
Beyond its diaper design and quality, VeryVery is committed to providing an eco-friendly product. Not only are these diapers made from sustainably sourced, non-GMO cotton and biodegradable pulp, but they're produced using renewable energy and contain significantly less plastic than big-name brands. Plus, VeryVery's packaging is primarily paper-based, further reducing their environmental impact.
Special Features
VeryVery diapers are free from fragrances, lotions, chlorine, and latex, making them an excellent hypoallergenic option for babies with more sensitive skin. This, plus the diapers' breathable design for better air circulation, makes them an especially great option during warmer months.
Price & Value
Like other premium diapers, VeryVery typically has a higher price per diaper than mass-produced options, such as Kirkland diapers. Still, in return for this higher price point, VeryVery offers better quality, comfort, and eco-friendliness than you'd find in a budget option.
Additionally, customers can buy directly from the manufacturer's website with guaranteed free shipping and convenient home-delivery options for single packs or larger orders.
Customer Feedback
Despite the fact that they're a relatively new company, the response to VeryVery diapers from parents and caregivers has been positive. Most commonly, reviews highlight the diapers' high-quality materials, excellent absorbency, and eco-friendly approach to disposable diapers. Many commented that VeryVery's products were the next best thing to cloth diapering when it came to environmental protection.

During The Health Board’s testing process, we compared VeryVery's product to Honest diapers (another premium option), Pampers Swaddlers, and Kirkland Signature diapers. Our results showed that VeryVery and Honest Company were pretty neck and neck, and both premium brands outperformed the store brand diapers in every category except price.
