Benefits Of Disposable Cotton Diapers For Newborn Babies
Are you welcoming a newborn to your family? At the top of many parents’ “must have” list of essential baby items are disposable diapers. But what kind should you choose? Many brands available in stores are 100% plastic*, leading parents to look for a better solution. At Kudos, we make a disposable diaper with a 100% cotton liner that combines the benefits of cloth with the convenience of disposable.
Benefits of Kudos disposable cotton diapers:
#1: SOFT
The Kudos 100% cotton liner is the only thing touching baby's most sensitive areas. No plastic. Just the soft feel of chlorine-free cotton. Although many diapers feel soft and “cottony,” typical disposable diapers use non-breathable plastic materials like polypropylene on both the cover (outermost layer) and liner (innermost layer). This means that the soft material you feel is actually plastic touching your baby’s bum all day and night.

#2: HYPOALLERGENIC
Kudos cotton diapers are hypoallergenic, meaning they are free of the things that can irritate a baby’s skin. No fragrance, no harsh chemicals, no latex.

#3: ABSORBENT
Kudos patented DoubleDry™ Tech absorbent diaper technology works two ways to absorb moisture and keep it locked in the Kudos diaper core. Featuring thousands of tiny flexible funnels, the top layer of DoubleDry helps moisture flow away from the skin. The top layer makes it difficult for moisture to return to baby’s skin (ever try pouring water the wrong way into a funnel?), helping keep sensitive skin on baby’s bum dry. Why is it important to move moisture away from baby’s skin? Because moisture held against the skin is one of the leading causes of diaper rash.

#4: ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Most disposable diapers are made from petroleum-derived plastics. At Kudos, we are pushing the diaper industry to use more sustainably-sourced materials like cotton, and trees. Typical disposable diapers make use of polypropylene and polyester in the liner, backsheet, and fluid distribution layer. These plastics use significantly more energy to harvest raw materials and process them into soft fibers, compared to using plants as raw materials.
