The Honest Company/Business Insider
- Once you become a parent, diapers are a fact of life. For years. And in those diapering years, free time is rarely a fact of life.
- Save yourself a bit of time and hassle by having diapers delivered to your door by a great diaper delivery company.
- The Honest Company is our top pick thanks to the quality of its diapers and the large catalog of other baby care and hygiene products the brand offers.
My son and daughter are four and a half years apart in age, and at the time of this writing, the young lady is about seven months old. While her big brother is potty-trained and generally self-sufficient in such matters, she is, of course, not. And she won't be for several years to come.
All told, I'm probably looking at seven to eight years of my life, most of my 30s, as it happens, dealing with diapers. So I'm glad I've found some great options because diaper failure is ... how should I put this? Let's say it rhymes with "pretty," and it's not pretty. Or just say catastrophic.
As important as it is to always have a supply of diapers at the ready, finding time to go to the store to replenish the stockpile is hardly the best use of what little free time a parent has. That's why my family, like so many others out there, have turned exclusively to ordering our diapers online and having them delivered to our door. You might think that means simply picking a brand, placing your order or setting up a subscription, and that's that. And... well, it is, more or less.
The catch is that not all diapers perform the same way. Many babies will use one type of diaper by day and another at night, one type while out and about, another while home, and so forth. And of course no two kids are alike, either, so if you have multiple children, chances are good that you'll use at least two different brands of diapers, if not many more based on the previous qualification.
Currently, we order our diapers from two companies (yes, both on the list) but in the past, I've had experience with all the diapers covered here as well as a number of others that will go unmentioned, as will the stories behind their reasons for exclusion.
Let's just say this: Changing every piece of clothing a baby is wearing as well as the sheets of the crib because they're soaked through is not fun. Doing that at three a.m. is even less fun. Doing it while she is screaming at you at 3 a.m. is just really the worst. Actually, the worst is all that plus the addition of other waste that escaped confinement.
