Diapers

Cloth diapers and selected disposable options without added perfume or lotion.

Cotton cloth offers a reusable alternative, while disposable diapers require a separate look at the surface, absorbent core and backing.  We disclose polymers where used instead of calling a partly cotton diaper plastic-free.  Fit, changing frequency and the child's skin response remain important alongside the material choice.

Materials: unbleached organic cotton fabric · polyester or nylon trim · elastic (may contain latex) $11.95 View product
Esembly Inner Tie Organic Cotton Cloth Diapers — Size One (3-Pack) Esembly Inner Tie Organic Cotton Cloth Diapers — Size One (3-Pack) ORGANIC COTTON Why we recommend it: Unbleached organic cotton sits against the skin, with soft ties instead of snap fasteners.  These reusable inners unfold for easier washing and faster drying.  A separate waterproof cover is essential, and a close fit around the legs helps limit leaks; some owners find them less secure than snap-style diapers.
