Pampers Pure Protection
Pampers Pure is a high-performing diaper that meets major safety benchmarks like OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and is free of fragrances and parabens. However, it fails to meet the 'Gold' standard because it uses Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) processing rather than the safer Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) method, and its topsheet is a plant-based blend rather than 100% plant-derived material. While it offers superior moisture-wicking and clinical backing, it is priced at a premium compared to other ECF-based 'clean' competitors.
