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.

Our value.

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.

Why the world needs more Kudos Wipes

Kudos wipes:

  • Made with VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers sourced from sustainable wood sources
  • Biodegradable* + compostable* fibers
  • Made without Propylene Glycol, Sodium Benzoate, Parabens, Fragrances, Alcohols, Chlorine, Ethoxylated Ingredients

Other wipes:

  • Made with plastic or harshly-processed bamboo rayon
  • Take 100+ years to decompose
  • Made with propylene glycol, sodium benzoate, parabens, fragrances, alcohols, chlorine, ethoxylated ingredients

Why YOU need more KUDOS.

At our core we’re celebrating everything it means to be a parent. AKA the hardest job on the planet. That’s why Kudos is our name.

70% of parents lose 1,096 HOURS of sleep in their baby’s first year.

(3 hours a night on average.)

Kudos patent-pending tech blocks overnight leaks.

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.

You’ll change 6000+ DIAPERS. Per baby.

That’s a lot of wipes, too.

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

Our high standards.

Picky? We might be pickier. Here’s how we hold ourselves to the strongest safety standards possible:

  • OEKO-TEX®

    [Diapers] This is a label for textiles tested for harmful substances. It sets the benchmark for safety, from yarn to finished product. Every item bearing the STANDARD 100 label is certified as having passed safety tests for the presence of harmful substances.

  • Cotton Natural

    [Diapers] Introduced in 1973, the Seal of Cotton trademark was created by Cotton Inc. to provide a visual reference to easily identify products made of cotton. This seal presents quality, natural, sustainable products.

  • VEOCEL™ Lyocell

    [Wipes] Our wipes are made with VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers - sustainably sourced from the raw material wood. These fibers are biodegradable in soil, fresh water, and marine conditions. This means even after usage, their environmental impact is minimal.

  • Dermatest

    [Diapers] Products which are labeled with this seal have proven their safty in terms of exposure time and site of application in patch tests.

  • FSC

    We use FSC-certified wood pulp in our diapers.
    Industries that rely on wood can threaten the long-term viability of the forests they depend on if they don't commit to sustainable sourcing. FSC certification is a proven method to help industries ensure healthy, resilient forests for generations to come
