Can Crunchy Mamas Love Disposable Diapers? {giveaway}
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Honest Company.
Can we acknowledge the elephant in the room for a moment? Yes, I claim to be a green blogger. No, I don’t use cloth diapers. Can I be a crunchy mama and a lover of disposables???
I have two little ones and when I was pregnant with my first, I did consider cloth diapers. I had several close girlfriends who were using them and loving them, but I just wasn’t convinced cloth diapers were for me. Our laundry situation was not ideal for cloth diapers. Plus at the time I was able to buy disposables at a really good discount. Ultimately, I felt like I had a lot of reasons why cloth diapers weren’t right for my family.
Depending on who I’m talking to, using disposable diapers is like my dirty little secret. I love green things. I’m slowly trying to change my family’s diet. We recycle. I have a small garden. I know how to can salsa and pickles. I use natural bath products on my kids. Goodness, just this weekend I spent $5.49 on a 2 oz. tube of toothpaste! But my diapers???
Most days I’m ok with using disposables, but if I’m going to be completely honest – I simply try not to think about it. I ignore the nagging voice in my head that says, “Cloth diaper lovers say there are nasty chemicals in disposables! Why are you still using them on your precious little ones?!?”
I was ecstatic when The Honest Company sent me a beautiful package filled with eco-friendly disposable diapers and wipes. Their diapers don’t include many of the harsh chemicals that people warn against in conventional diapers.
It is hard to know which ingredients to avoid in diapers and which ones are safe. That is why I really appreciated the article “What Is Inside Those Disposable Diapers?” by Baby Gear Lab. They made an excellent point when they said, “The fact is that there are several potentially harmful chemicals that are known to be present in some disposable diapers, including: chlorine, dyes, fragrances, phthalates, and more. We advise relying on the Skeptic’s Rule of Thumb when it comes to potentially harmful ingredients: If they don’t say it’s not in there, then assume it’s in there.”
The Honest Company clearly states right on their packaging that their diapers are…
Free of cholorine processing, latex, lotions, fragrances, most common allergens, phthalates, optical brighteners, PVC, heavy metals, and organotins (MBT, DBT, TBT).
Let’s face it. I have enough to worry about as a mom. I don’t have the time and energy to worry about what my little ones poop in! The less I think about poop the better. Did I mention that you can hand pick the design of your diapers when you order from The Honest Company? Somehow they managed to make poop a little more fun!

Even for cloth diaper users, their diapers are great for night time and traveling.
I love that their products come ‘junk-free’ – always a good thing!
we sometimes use disposables (mostly because my inlaws refuse to use my cloth diapers) and i like that theirs are safer than others!
We are chemical free, so it seems the Honest Company products would be perfect for us!
I love that their products are safe for my sensitive skinned kids!
I wish I’d known about honest diapers with my first child! Maybe the second can still benefit though. 🙂
I have a baby in diapers and would love to try some Honest diapers.
This company seems like it has products that are eco friendly and also I feel like this company seems to actually care about quality products
I love the idea of being able to use a diaper that’s chemical free!
I’ve never tried Honest diapers, but I think I will now! Currently I’m a fence-sitter on the cloth v. disposable debate, but I’m glad there are more options than I thought!
I want to use cloth for my babe due in 6 weeks, but I know from experience I can’t commit to cloth ALL THE TIME. These look like a great alternate!
I would love to try their products. This would really help my family out!
I love our Honest diapers! So a gift card would be wonderful!
This would be amazing for me! I have 9 kids, including our latest addition, and budget is always a concern. I, too, have had those niggling doubts about disposables. What a great way to ditch the guilt without ditching the convenience! Even when I was cloth diapering, it was nice to have some disposables around for sitters or emergencies or days I just forgot to do the diaper laundry. I would LOVE the gift card!
THanks for the chance!
I’m planning on using cloth diapers, but this would be so useful for traveling and daycare!
Love companies that have natural, non-toxic products!
I have always wanted to try these!
We are trying to be much more “green” in our lives…this would be a great way to help achieve that! 🙂
We, too, are slowing switching to more natural, green products. Just found out we are pregnant with #2, so this would be great!
I make many of my own body care products using natural, simple ingredients. Some things, such as diapers, are easier for us to buy. I would love to use the Honest Company for many items to keep our family healthy!
I love that I don’t have to worry about my babies when they are wearing honest diapers!
I have beeen wanting to try some of these products.
I like to keep everything as natural and chemical-free as possible, and love the idea of a natural disposable diaper as an alternative
I am in love with The Honest Company. I started using their lotion and hair/body baby wash two years ago and I haven’t looked back!
We are a cloth diapering family – but we use sposies at night! I would LOVE to try the Honest Co diapers! 🙂 Nice review, Rebekah. Loved it! <3
We LOVE The Honest Company! My son has very sensitive skin and most other disposable diapers have given him bad rashes. Honest diapers are the only ones I have found that don’t! Plus it helps that they have awesome designs 🙂
My daughter has VERY sensitive skin! She can’t have any fragrances or anything touch her skin or she gets a rash. These would have been AMAZING to have when she was in diapers!
I’ve heard great things about this company and their products. Would love to give these a try!
