Our mission
Rolling, crawling, stepping toward a plastic-free future
Let’s get there.
One tush at a time.
A note from
our founder.
Most people don’t realize that traditional disposable diapers (even the natural ones) are lined with plastic. Not only is plastic bad for the environment, it can contain harmful chemicals that are bad for brand new, sensitive skin. Same goes for traditional baby wipes.
As a material scientist and engineer by training, I knew we could do better…without compromising on that performance that parents rely on. Our mission: create the safest, best performing baby diapers and wipes on Earth. Because you deserve Kudos. Your baby deserves Kudos. So does our planet.

Our values.

Why the world needs more Kudos Diapers.
Babies spend ~22,000 HOURS in diapers.
So 1 baby = 6000+ disposable diapers.
Most disposable diapers are lined with PLASTIC.
Making the 3rd largest consumer item in LANDFILLS, taking 500 YEARS to decompose.
Plastic diaper liners can contain VOCs and phthalates.
NOT the safest for baby’s SENSITIVE skin or endocrine system.
Kudos = the 1st to replace plastic diaper liners with COTTON.
Safer for baby. And our planet.

It takes ~1,800 HOURS to feed your baby in their first year.
Equivalent to a full time job with 3 weeks vacation.
Kudos absorbs all that liquid.
Working Moms spend 98 HOURS/WEEK raising kids.
That’s the average. Equivalent to 2.5 full time jobs.

Kudos makes them safer for you, baby, and Mama Earth.
