FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A. Yes. All Pampers diapers, wipes, and training pants are made from ingredients that are carefully tested and proven to be safe. The ingredients we use are common in most diapers and wipes and are used safely by millions of babies around the world every day.

A. At Pampers, the safety and comfort of babies is our top priority. We provide assurance that our products are safe by sourcing only the safest raw materials from the start. Then we work with leading pediatricians, pediatric dermatologists and safety experts to evaluate every material for potential risks. We continually invest in clinical safety studies and monitor our products through quality safety checks on the production line and through in-home testing with parents.

A. As an industry leader in innovation, Pampers is dedicated to creating better, more efficient products that offer noticeable benefits while reducing the environmental footprint of our products and packaging. A major independent study by the United Kingdom’s Environment Agency in 2005 and updated in 2008 showed that neither disposable nor cloth diapers were better for the environment. The study considered all parts of each diaper’s life cycle: to make, distribute, use and dispose of the products. This extensive UK study found that the environmental impacts of diapers are actually linked to the energy, water, and detergents needed to clean reusable diapers, and to raw material production for disposable diapers. By considering the overall life cycle of both products, the study confirms that here is little to no difference in environmental impact between cloth and disposable diapers.

We’ve heard feedback and understand that the use of materials like cotton and other plant-based fibers is important to some parents. The Pampers Pure Collection provides these elements while maintaining outstanding performance.

This type of material has a long history of safe use in a variety of products and has been in diapers for more than 30 years.
