Finally! We found the best diapers for sensitive skin

There’s no denying that parenting often means compromise. You trade a bedtime shift with your partner in exchange for getting to sleep in an extra hour in the morning. You opt for the hotel with the kid-friendly pool instead of the adult-friendly spa. You agree to the chocolate chip pancakes… as long as they come with a side of fruit (because life is about balance!).

And up until now, one of parenting’s messiest compromises has been finding an effective diaper that also won’t irritate our baby’s sensitive skin. It seems like we’ve always had to choose between a powerful diapering option that contains our little one’s worst blowouts… or a gentle pair that keeps delicate skin irritation-free. 

That’s what makes Rascals Premium Diapers such a game-changer.

Founded in New Zealand in 2016 by a mom struggling to find a diaper that contained blowouts, didn’t break the bank and played nice with her son’s eczema-prone skin, Rascals spent years in development working with materials sources, manufacturers and dermatologists to create a diaper that truly gets the needs of sensitive baby skin.

What makes Rascals different

Put simply? A strict Zero Nasties approach to creating a diaper that performs as well as it protects. As a result, all of Rascals’ products are dermatologist certified; free from nasty chemicals, fragrances, lotions, latex and alcohol; and are certified by world-leading organizations to be safe on sensitive skin.

But of course, you can’t become an award-winning, 210,000-five-star-rating-boasting diaper brand⁽¹⁾ by sensitivity alone. To be loved by parents, you also have to work―like, really work. That’s where Rascals stands out again. Their incredibly absorbent diaper is made with a unique Hydrolock Core™ that holds up to 25x its weight in liquid⁽²⁾ with up to 70% more absorbency area compared to leading brands⁽³⁾. 

So, does it work? Yep. For up to a whopping 12 hours of advanced leak protection⁽⁴⁾, in fact.

Rascals has all your diapering needs covered

And their premium, sensitive skin-safe diapers are just the start. Rascals also offers training pants designed to adapt to your mobile toddler (without the bummer of skin discomfort), as well as Premium Sensitive Wipes made with 99% natural ingredients and 0% fragrance. Hypoallergenic, derm-tested and free from alcohol, phenoxyethanol, perfume, phthalates, SLS, parabens or lanolin, these are the wipes you’ll reach for when you need a safe, gentle clean.

For a hydrating wipe that’s also sensitive to the environment, Rascals 99% Water Premium Wipes (the last 1% consists of pure skin-loving essentials) are made with a 100% plastic-free and plant-based cloth that is biodegradable and soft on skin.

High-quality diapers without high costs

Rascals is able to control the condition of their diapers thanks to their own world-class factory and integrated manufacturing process. Another positive side effect for you? It also helps them keep costs low without cutting corners on quality. Their diapers average out at about $0.17 per pair, as compared to the $0.29 per pair average of other diaper brands.

While most of parent life typically means making a compromise or two, thankfully with Rascals, you don’t have to choose between a diaper that works and a diaper that is safe on your little one’s sensitive skin.
