The U.S. market is expanding quickly, and parents now have plenty of choices. A few factors to weigh:
- Brand transparency: Look for clear labeling about materials and disposal.
- Certifications: Reputable eco diapers carry labels like OEKO-TEX, FSC-certified wood pulp, or USDA organic cotton.
- Absorbency vs. sustainability: Some ultra-green brands sacrifice leak protection, so testing a few options can help.
Availability: Brands like Dyper, Honest Company, and Seventh Generation offer subscription models for convenience. Cloth brands like GroVia and BumGenius remain popular for reusability.
