As any mom can tell you, diaper changes are a part of our daily lives. Getting your kid in the right diaper can be a game-changer: it’s important that the diapers are made with ingredients that protect their delicate and sensitive skin, and a proper fit means fewer leaks and blow-outs.
We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about diapers, checking on diapers, and of course, changing diapers, so we wanted to share everything we’ve learned with you! Here’s our comprehensive guide for finding the best chemical-free diapers for your baby.
Why is chemical-free important? Surprisingly, many diapers on the market contain chemicals such as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), fragrance, chlorine, polyurethane, pesticides, and more. When it comes to diapers, you want your kid exposed to a chemical-free option if possible, especially since they’re in diapers around the clock.
We know that disposable diapers are already really expensive, so we did some digging to see how chemical-free diapers compare to the standard diapers they hand out in the hospital. It turns out that not all of them are that much more expensive (and some are even cheaper) if you use the subscription option or plug in a coupon code.
