Our products are designed to be easy to use, to promote good health and to put only the finest natural materials next to a baby's skin. We care about our customers and our children, our country and our world. We work as a team in a family-friendly workshop that is respectful, bright and airy.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO:

We think simplicity is easy and diapering should be easy. We think natural is healthy, and diapering should be as healthy as possible. We think conserving money and natural resources is important, and diapering should aim to do both.

Why we don’t make pocket diapers: because simplicity is easy.
With a pocket diaper, you insert layers of padding between the outer and inner shell of the diaper. It takes you time to add the inserts to each diaper and then, when the diaper is wet (or worse), you must extract the padding in order to wash the diaper. What is the benefit of spending your time this way? We think simplicity is beauty. Our all-in-one diapers have a built-in doubler for absorbency and put either soft cotton or hemp fleece next to baby’s skin. Want more absorbency? Tuck a second doubler under the first: it’s that simple.

Why we don’t use polyester fleece next to baby’s skin: because natural is healthy.
With polyester fleece, dampness is “wicked” away from baby’s skin. What is the benefit of having your baby feel dry when s/he is really wet? If baby doesn’t feel wet, s/he cry, so you don’t know it’s time for a diaper change. Your baby gets to lie in a wet diaper, surrounded by unhealthy warm bacteria-friendly dampness. Nature is healthy. With natural fabrics your baby will feel wet when s/he is wet and will cry out of discomfort. The crying lets you know it’s time to get your baby into a dry, clean diaper and away from the wet or dirty diaper: it’s not to let a baby sit in a wet or dirty diaper.

Polyester also has a tendency to hang onto odor, unlike natural cotton or hemp fabrics, whose fiber structure allows for a more thorough cleaning that releases the odor. Hemp in particular has naturally antimicrobial properties which will inhibit bacteria growth. This means bacteria will not flourish in a wet diaper and that the diaper will not carry an odor with it. Natural is healthy.

Finally, due to the chemical content of polyester, you may find your child is has an allergic reaction to it that can include the development of a rash. Put the dampness of the wet/soiled diaper next to skin with a rash and your child’s health and comfort will truly be compromised. Natural fabrics, meanwhile, rarely cause allergic reactions: natural is healthy.

Why we don’t think flushables make sense: because we encourage conservation.
You will be changing your baby’s diapers as many as 9 to 13 times per day, flushing the toilet each and every time if you use a flushable liner. At anywhere from 2 – 7 gallons of water per flush (for the high efficiency toilets, a flush can use as “little” as 1.5 gallons), this means you are probably using an average of 40 to 50 gallons of water per day for flushing diapers alone. You will also use water to wash the covers in the laundry. Meanwhile with a typical washing machine, you will use around 40 gallons of water to clean several days worth of diapers and covers.

In addition to water conservation, consider that you will need to continue to purchase flushable liners throughout the diapering years of your baby. Not only do you purchase cloth diapers once, but when you are finished with them they can be passed on to friends or relatives, resold to other new parents or (the classic re-use!) used as the very best dust rags in the world. We encourage conservation: reduce, recycle, reuse.
