The PurComfy Baby Diapers Essential Kit is a multi-part starter set for the first weeks and months of diapering. It combines newborn and Size 1 diapers with three different kinds of wipes, so one order covers changes at home and out and about. It is built for new parents, and it is often chosen as a baby-shower gift.

What's in the kit

PurComfy lists 712 pieces in total:

  • 96 Size N diapers, for newborns under 10 lb (about 4.5 kg).
  • 104 Size 1 diapers, for babies of roughly 8-14 lb (about 3.6-6.4 kg).
  • 360 water wipes, in six packs of 60.
  • 32 travel wipes, in four small packs of 8.
  • 120 dry wipes, in two packs of 60.

The weight ranges overlap on purpose. Babies grow at different rates, and many move into Size 1 within the first month or two, so having both sizes avoids buying a second set straight away.

How the diapers are put together

PurComfy describes a blowout barrier, dual leak-guard leg barriers and front and back waistbands. These are common features in modern disposable diapers: the leg cuffs and waistbands are there to hold liquid and mess in, and the wider back waistband is aimed at the leaks that newborns are known for. A wetness indicator, typically a line that changes colour, tells you when a change is due without having to open the diaper.

The three kinds of wipes

Water wipes. The brand says these are 99.9% purified water and 0.1% other ingredients, with a surface it calls 1.6 times softer. They are the everyday wipe for diaper changes.

Travel wipes. The small 8-count packs are sized for a diaper bag, a coat pocket or a car glovebox.

Dry wipes. These measure 8 x 8 inches (about 20 x 20 cm). PurComfy says they can be used dry or dampened, for changes, mealtime cleanups or wiping a nose, and that they are biodegradable. They are a disposable alternative to small reusable cloths.

Materials and what's left out

PurComfy says everything in the kit is made with plant-based fibres and is free from parabens, dyes and fragrances. If your family has particular sensitivities, the full ingredient list on the packaging is the place to check, and a paediatric nurse or doctor can advise on anything specific to your baby.

Who it suits

It suits expecting parents building a first supply, and gift-givers who want one practical item rather than several small ones. It is less useful if your baby is already heavier than the Size 1 range, as the set stops at that size.

What to check before you buy

  • Your baby's size: the kit covers Size N and Size 1 only. Check the weight ranges against your baby's current weight and expected growth.
  • Quantity: 712 pieces takes up a lot of room. Confirm you have space, and how quickly you expect to move up a size.
  • Wipe types: the water, travel and dry wipes are different products. Make sure you will use all three.
  • Preferences: if you use cloth diapers or a different wipe style, this set may overlap with what you already have.
  • Packaging: check the expiry or best-before guidance, where shown, and the storage advice on the packs.

The short version

  • A multi-part kit with 96 Size N and 104 Size 1 diapers.
  • Includes 360 water wipes, 32 travel wipes and 120 dry wipes.
  • Diapers have leg barriers, waistbands and a wetness indicator.
  • Made with plant-based fibres and free from parabens, dyes and fragrances, according to PurComfy.
  • Covers newborns up to roughly 14 lb (6.4 kg), so check your baby's weight.
