Pampers Pure Diapers, Size 2, 186 Count
A well performing premium Pampers diaper, with a higher price and open questions about its lotion.
The short version
- Babies 12 to 18 pounds whose parents want a diaper sold as hypoallergenic and fragrance free
- Families who like Pampers' fit and want its premium line
- Buyers who want a large box rather than small packs
- You want a diaper with no lotion at all
- Cost per diaper matters more than materials
- You want Pampers' newest top line, which is now AMORE
What owners like
- Better than average at locking away moisture and preventing leaks in BabyGearLab's tests, with an 81 out of 100 overall score
- Durable, with few problems with tabs or leaking gel noted by BabyGearLab
- Soft and comfortable, with no leaks or blowouts in Mommyhood101's use
- Reviewed called the Pure line one that many parents love
Common complaints

- Functionally close to regular Swaddlers, per Mommyhood101

What it does
Pampers' premium hypoallergenic disposable diaper in size 2 for babies 12 to 18 pounds; the 108 count pack is no longer offered, so this page covers the current 186 count Pampers Pure (formerly Pure Protection) box.
- Pampers says it is the only diaper with a vitamin-enriched liner
- Sold as hypoallergenic and free of fragrance, elemental chlorine, parabens and latex
- Pampers claims its LockAway Core stays 2x drier than Honest diapers and gives up to 100% leakproof protection
- Wider wetness indicator for timing changes
A solid premium diaper for parents who want Pampers' fit with a hypoallergenic, fragrance free label, and it tested well for absorbency and leak control. The trade-offs are cost and ingredient questions: BabyGearLab says it contains a lotion and called its disclosure incomplete, and Pampers now sells AMORE as its newer top line.
