Read This If You’re Using Bamboo Diapers 👶
This post is in partnership with Coterie. We only endorse products we believe in.
Editor’s Note: Every parent can agree on one thing – there will never be enough diapers when there's a baby around. It’s even worse if you're a working parent juggling baby duties with a busy schedule and looking to avoid giving your baby anything with nasty ingredients..
Before Coterie
By the time my two youngest daughters, Kelly and Nia, came around, I didn’t even know where to start with diapers. I had so many moms telling me which brands they use and ended up in a sea of Hello Bello, Pampers, Huggies, and even some new modern brand my sister-in-law kept telling me about.
I ended up with a tower of diapers and quickly realized what an investment buying diapers is. On average, a benign single-pack purchase of diapers for $13-15 dollars adds up to over $3000 over the first few years of your baby’s life. Way more than that tech-powered stroller or luxury car seat – not to mention the environmental impact all those diapers have.
Of course, I wanted to make sure I was choosing the best for my baby, my wallet, and the environment, though I have to admit it was a hard decision. I was right on the cusp of becoming a Dyper parent when I saw some disturbing news. The Federal Trade Commission was taking action against retailers across the country who falsely marketed viscose textile products as bamboo.
After doing a quick search, I learned toxic chemicals are always needed to convert bamboo into viscose, resulting in more pollution and other environmental worries*.
I was shocked! I tossed all the diapers in my house into the trash in a frenzied state and took to the internet. I knew there had to be other alternatives besides the typical and not-so-great Huggies.
Luckily after a few minutes clicking around Google, I came across Coterie - a diaper brand creating diapers with double the capacity of their competitors, a quicker-wicking tech, and faster drying time, which can help parents and babies get a better night's rest.
After reading through all their reviews and information, I knew Coterie sounded exactly like what I needed. I decided I had nothing to lose and made my first purchase.
After Coterie
Unlike other diaper brands, Coterie is extremely transparent about the technology and materials that go into each of their diapers. Plus, I saw that their materials are free of fragrance, lotion, latex, dyes, alcohol, rubber, heavy metals, parabens, phthalates, chlorine bleaching, VOCs, and animal testing.
One of the first things I noticed immediately was how great the Coterie diapers fit Kelly. And I’m already a big fan of their classic yet minimalistic design. My partner noticed they were a little higher in price, but after getting our first box and getting through both of our Zoom calls without a needed diaper break, we agreed it was well worth the investment.
Coterie offers free standard shipping on orders over $49 and 10% savings on subscriptions and SMS order management, which helps busy parents like me save money. Their flexible subscription service means I have one less thing to stress about and I’ll never run out of diapers again!
When it comes down to it, Coterie is the best of the best. I’ve never slept more soundly now that I know exactly what’s in my baby’s diaper (and now that she’s not waking up in the middle of the night anymore).
There isn't a better diaper on the market for parents like me who want to ensure their baby's diapers are not only made out of the best materials but also sustainable, and better for the environment than those bamboo alternatives. Coterie really is the Tesla of diapers!
If you're looking for high-quality diapers that prevent messes, keep your little one dry, and protect your baby's delicate skin from rashes and irritation, then Coterie is the brand for you.
