Honest Co. Diaper Review

So after finding The Honest Company online, I had to give it a try. I mean, we cloth diaper. Cloth diapering is economical and ecological. 

The Honest Company ships a month's supply of diapers and wipes for $79.95. These diapers are plant based and don't contain any of the dioxins or carcinogens that most disposables do. So why not give them a try? Honest Co. has a 'discovery pack' that you can try for just $4.99 S&H.

The second option, which I also tried out, is the Home Essentials Bundle, which came with laundry detergent, hand soap, shampoo/body wash, balm, and lotion. This bundle is $36.95. I will go over these in another post (once I have used them all).

This is my box! It was a lovely design, and very space-conscious. Obviously this company looks at even the little things!

I received 7 diapers. 2 Pink Stars, 2 Multicolored Flowers, 2 Ice Cream Cones, and 1 plain white. As well as a pack of wipes.

Frugal Mama Review: Honest Company Diapers

Cost: 3 out of 5

With The Honest Company, I would get 216 Size 3 diapers and 320 wipes for one month. This would be $79.95.

Compared to regular disposables, these are a bust!
Amazon Mom offers subscriptions for diapers and wipes, usually with free shipping. I used my account to calculate the totals for other brands of diapers.

Regular Disposables:
Pampers: 216 Size 3 diapers cost $45.36 from Amazon Mom. 320 wipes cost $6.4, for a grand total of $51.76

However, compared to other natural diapers, they rock on the price!
"Natural" Diapers:
Earth's Best: 216 Size 3 diapers, $64.8. 320 wipes, $16. Total: $80.8

7th Generation, 216 Size 3 Diapers, $89.67. 320 wipes, $9.6 Total: $99.27

Design/Functionality: 2 out of 5

Can you say diaper rash?? For a diaper that's supposed to be all natural, this diaper left a blister on Frugal Baby's bottom! Poor thing.

Good Qualities: 

Adorable design. I loved all but the ice cream, it was a little too much. Cute, but the pattern just hurt my eyes, and seeing one filled with poop ruined ice cream for me forever. I wonder why they don't have the boy pattern (Skulls) in a girl version? The skulls can have bows.

Absorbency. These diapers held up well, and Frugal Baby filled two up with massive...poop.

Bad Qualities:
The closure wouldn't stay, and the fit was off. Frugal Baby kept crawling out of her diaper, and did I mention the rash? Her entire crotch area was bright red, and she hasn't had a bit of diaper rash since she was born! (Unless you count the time her diapers got washed in Dreft...oops!)

Overall Frugal Mama Rating: 3 out of 5

These diapers are a great idea. The whole company is a great idea, but they're going to take some work. It's obvious from things I've found online that the company is making strides to improve product quality, but for now, it was a no go for us. The cute prints just didn't win over the ill fit and the rash.

Good night and God Bless
