Kudos Diapers
Kudos is the only diaper that features a 100% cotton top sheet, ensuring that only natural fibers touch the baby's skin rather than plastic (polypropylene). This makes it the best choice for babies with extreme skin sensitivity.
Quality & Materials
100% clean cotton top sheet. Double-dry tech uses two layers of protection. TCF pulp and harvested plant-based materials for the backsheet.
Evidence & Testing
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. While they lack the EWG verification of HealthyBaby, their material sourcing is highly scrutinized.
Brand Transparency
Very clear about the percentage of plant-based vs. petroleum-based components in their diaper construction.
Value Assessment
Competitively priced within the premium eco-friendly segment at approximately $88 per month.
Why Not Alternatives?
Almost every other 'clean' diaper, including Coterie and Honest, uses a plastic-based (polypropylene or polyethylene) top sheet. Kudos eliminates this plastic-to-skin contact entirely.
