Here at Pump Station, we're very picky about our disposable diapers. We recently had the chance to meet the Kudos diaper team. And we fell in love. Yup, with a disposable diaper. Here’s how our sit-down with the Kudos team changed (and blew) our minds:
- Kudos are the first and only disposable diapers lined with 100% cotton, while most others use plastic.
We had no idea that the majority of disposable diapers (even the natural ones) are made almost entirely with plastic processed to feel soft. Kudos diapers are lined with 100% soft, sustainable, breathable, cotton sourced from U.S. farms. It’s like your baby is wearing the underwear you’d choose to feel comfy and breezy. Much, much better.
- Cotton is the #1 doctor-recommended material for diaper rash and eczema.
Know how the doctor recommends cotton underwear for adults? Well, Kudos thinks it shouldn't be any different for your baby. That's because cotton, unlike plastic, is naturally hypoallergenic with short twisted fibers that allow for maximum breathability. The result? Less diaper rash and irritation. Kudos diapers are also OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified and free from chemicals including chlorine!
- Disposable diapers are the 3rd largest contributor to landfills because (cough) plastic.
This fact blew us away. But also totally made sense considering just how many diapers our babies blew through. Kudos is on a mission to remove as much plastic from disposable diapers as possible. And they’re changing the entire industry as they innovate.
- Popular bamboo diapers and baby products are actually harshly processed.
The Kudos founder considered bamboo at first, but soon found it has to go through extremely harsh chemical processing in order to feel soft. With other negative environmental and health factors you can read about here, she opted for cotton and other more sustainable materials.
- Kudos founder Amrita is an MIT-trained engineer, mom, and diaper geek. And we love it.
She basically nerds out over diapers so we all don’t have to. In our conversation with Amrita, we learned all (the above) about diaper science – and more. Did you know she and her team developed patent-pending DoubleDry™ tech? It uses 2 layers of natural protection instead of 1. That means not only are Kudos more butt and Earth-friendly – they also do not leak. Which means more sleep for all.
We're excited to share that Kudos is offering Pump Station families an EXCLUSIVE offer of 15% off their first purchase with Kudos. Simply use code PUMPSTATION at www.mykudos.com and you'll get 15% off your first purchase with Kudos! You won’t regret it.
