Ecoriginals Walker Nappy Pants Size 5 (12-18kg)
Pull-up style plant-based nappy pants for toddlers 12 to 18kg. 100% plant-based layers, OEKO-TEX certified organic cotton, and 12-hour leak protection. Free from chlorine, fragrance, dyes, parabens, and pesticides.
Ecoriginals Walker Nappy Pants (Size 5, 12-18kg) are designed for confident walkers and runners who are becoming more independent and resistant to lie-down nappy changes. The pull-up pants style means toddlers can step into and out of nappies like underwear - making changes faster, easier, and less of a battle for everyone involved.
The nappy pants are built around Ecoriginals' proprietary Plantcell Technology - the only nappy with 100% plant-based layers. Where conventional nappies use plastic-based internal layers, Ecoriginals' plant-based alternative delivers up to 900ml liquid capacity and 12-hour leak protection without synthetic polymer layers against your toddler's skin. The tear-away sides make removal quick and clean.
Each pack contains 16 nappy pants, lasting approximately 3.5 weeks at 4 to 5 changes per day.
Nappy pants vs tabbed nappies - how to choose
- Tabbed nappies (lie-down style): better for babies and younger toddlers who are still having changes on a change mat. Easier to assess fit and adjust after putting on
- Nappy pants (pull-up style, this product): better for walking toddlers who resist lie-down changes. Step in and out like underwear. Tear-away sides for quick removal
- Many parents use both: tabbed nappies overnight or at nap time for a more secure fit, nappy pants during the day for independence and easier on-the-go changes
Ecoriginals also offers a Walker tabbed nappy (12-18kg, 18 nappies per pack) if you prefer the traditional style at this size.
What's in the nappy pants
USA Certified Organic Cotton (OEKO-TEX Standard 100): the outer back sheet, waistband, and leg cuffs - breathable, structured, and designed for an active toddler.
100% plant-based layers (Plantcell Technology): hypoallergenic, Dermatest Accredited, free from all harmful chemicals and irritants. The only nappy technology with fully plant-based internal layers.
FSC certified wood pulp: forms the absorbent core, drawing moisture into a soft, breathable centre.
Compostable corn starch PLA layer: a non-GMO, water-resistant layer that disperses liquid - an alternative to the plastic layers found in conventional nappies.
Tissue paper: wraps the absorbent components and locks wetness away from the skin.
Super absorbent polymers (SAP): high-quality polymers that maximise liquid retention in the core.
Spandex (leg cuffs only): a minimal amount for a snug, leak-resistant fit through active movement.
Tear-away sides: for quick and easy removal without needing to pull down.
