The Honest Company: Diapers & Household Essentials

Before having kids, I never really considered all the ways that chemicals can enter our homes, lives, and bodies. Being “green” was always important but it seemed limited to recycling, composting, or in regards to wind and solar energy. I never gave much thought to BPA or other more toxic ingredients. Even when I did begin too read more labels it was only on food products.

After becoming pregnant with my daughter, my skin began having wild reactions to things such as lotions, soaps, and laundry detergent. My allergies became atrocious. And in experiencing this, I was amazed at how many synthetic chemicals are in our daily household products. Common air fresheners I’d used all the time before, truly became indoor air pollution for me. It didn’t matter how “gentle” a soap was, if it lathered, I would rash up. I was overwhelmed by both the toxicity and information I was absorbing.

I think the real turning point for me, was the realization that labeling standards are not equal. Products don’t always need to be fully organic or all natural to be billed as such. So I really experienced first hand that everything we touch, eat, and clean with, is reactive in our bodies. I not only applied this new found knowledge to myself, but I sure didn’t want it touching my baby. And I was amazed at how many chemicals alone are found in diapers.

Four years ago, finding eco-friendly diapers for my daughter was nearly impossible. It turns out my prenatal discomfort directly mirrored how my daughters skin would actually be. She cannot tolerate conventional body products; And could not use any type of conventional diaper due to a range of synthetic dyes, perfumes, and toxic ingredients. Local stores really didn’t stock eco-diapers then, so I was forced to find them online and have them shipped to me.

And that is where The Honest Company has captured my attention. Well, that and amazing products including fun, fresh diaper designs.

“The Honest Company was started by a mom and a dad who, like many modern parents, were increasingly worried about products made with questionable chemical ingredients. But the alternatives they found were often expensive, inaccessible, bland, or ineffective. In response to this clear need for something better, they created The Honest Company to ensure that parents {or anyone for that matter} could easily find natural and non-toxic eco-friendly products that are beautiful, effective, and affordable. From customized product bundles to diapers and wipes to an ever-expanding line of cleaning and personal care products, you can find everything you need at Honest.com and have it delivered directly to your front door.” ~The Honest Co.

Here’s a company that not only provides non-toxic household essentials but also premium plant-based disposable diapers delivered straight to your door. To make things even more outstanding, is that with every purchase made, The Honest Company donates {time, money, and product} to a charitable partner, which is currently Baby2Baby.org. This is a company that puts the capital “B” in being certified as a Benefit Corporation.

Personally, I find that The Honest Company solves a LOT of the problems we have in finding quality products for our home. The diapers are a great option for my son, and the household essentials provide safe products for my daughter to use. What is also great, is the free trial samples offered to test the products before subscribing to a monthly service. I received the diaper sampler pack and was really impressed with both the diaper quality and designs available.

And we have used them on my son, to great success. And for me, the most important part of the diaper are the gussets being doubled on the leg and along the back. And The Honest Company does a great job utilizing this very important feature. The next aspect that is important is the price. And for less than $20 a week, a full-month honest diaper bundle provides both the wipes AND the diapers delivered right to your doorstep.

And speaking of the wipes, these premium cloth wipes have been recently reformulated. Made of medical-grade cloth, they have NO parabens, cholorine, are biodegradable and sustainable harvested. Thick, strong, and larger then my hand, these wipes are proving great for everything I need to wipe, dab, or clean up after.
