Have you ever found yourself in the midst of a lively discussion about diapers? Well, recently, I found myself sitting around a brunch table with several girlfriends, and our conversation led us to discussing diapers of all things!

That conversation led me to discover a diaper brand that’s worth all the hype. In this blog post, I’ll share my journey through various diaper brands and why I firmly believe that Coterie diapers are the game-changer you’ve been searching for.

The Great Diaper Debate

As a mom of both a boy and a girl, I’ve experienced the differing needs of each gender when it comes to diapers. Girls tend to distribute moisture more evenly, while boys usually concentrate it in the front. This made me realize that not all diapers are created equal, and the right choice could depend on your baby’s gender. During the time of the “great brunch diaper debate,” I was struggling with keeping my son’s nighttime diaper from soaking through to his pajamas, a problem I never encountered with my daughter.

Over the years, I’ve tried numerous diaper brands, each with its own set of pros and cons. Here’s a quick rundown of some of the major ones I tested:

• Huggies: I felt they were too narrow, the tape wasn’t long enough, and it didn’t seem to have very much elasticity or flexibility.
• Up & Up (Target brand): They were crunchy and stiff when I took them out of the box, and I thought they got very clumpy when wet. 
• Kirkland (Costco brand): The diapers seemed to run small in length and felt thick and clumpy.
• Pampers: I loved the Swaddlers and Pure for the NB and size 1 phase. They provided good coverage, and the elastic gathers on the sides really seemed to contain blowouts. The material was soft and smooth and very absorbent. I’m also a huge fan of Cruisers and Cruisers 360. I felt the Cruisers contoured to the baby’s body well. I found the Cruisers 360 featuring an elastic waistband really helpful while trying to wrestle getting a diaper on a moving baby. The 360 allowed me to stick the feet quickly through the holes and then stand the baby up to pull the diaper up. However, they can be tricky if your baby kicks one foot out while you are trying to thread the other foot though. Or, if you are like me and use the “old school” diaper trick when changing a poopy diaper to open the new diaper up and put it under the soiled one you are going to take off. To remove the 360, you just tear the seams along the sides, roll it up and secure it with a little piece of blue tape on the back, however since the diaper features an elastic waistband, this doesn’t allow you to open the fresh diaper up and place it underneath the child.
  *Pampers also has a really great rewards program, called Pampers Club. It’s super simple, you just download the app and scan each package of diapers or wipes that you buy, to earn coupons and rewards! I love it!

I also experimented with other brands like:

• Honest, Hello Bello, and Freestyle, but none seemed to meet all my criteria until I discovered Coterie.

I tried Coterie diapers, so you don’t have to, and my conclusion is – hands down the BEST diaper on the market! Their unmatched absorbency and softness take the cake in my book!

I first learned about Coterie diapers when I was watching the Baby First Channel with my kids. I’ll admit, they have some pretty convincing commercials… “the Rolls Royce of diapers” and “my baby slept all the way through the night without waking up” and “no more 3 am diaper changes.”. My interest was piqued, so I went onto the website thinking, I’ll just see how much they cost and if they’re crazy expensive I’ll just try one box. I was irritated when I went to order one box and found out you have to pay for a subscription! I wasn’t interested in signing up for something else and then having to remember cancel it later if I didn’t like that. So, I let it go.

However, I wasn’t satisfied because the truth was, my son was waking up each morning with a soaked diaper. It soaked all the way through his clothes and sheets. I was tired of doing laundry every day! It was overwhelming and exhausting to keep up with, remembering to start a load of laundry before leaving for work or when I got home from and then having to remember to put it in the dryer before bedtime was a nightmare! Many days I failed miserably. I would get the wash going, but then forget about putting it in the dryer until it was bedtime, and I was looking for clean (and dry) PJs and sheets. Too late to throw the clothes and sheets in the dryer and have to wait an hour for them to dry at 8pm.  I was at my wits end. I didn’t know what to do. I felt like I tried everything.

My cousin said she puts two diapers on her kids when she puts them to bed at night. I didn’t really love the idea of wasting two diapers, if the pee soaks through the first diaper and ruins the second diaper, I figured that could add up pretty fast and become too pricy. Also, what do you do? But the next size up for the 2nd diaper to cover the 1st diaper?

Next, I thought, maybe I should give him less milk in his bedtime bottle? I didn’t like that idea either because, in the past, he has gotten upset if he finishes his bottle too quickly or if he’s still hungry and wants more milk. I didn’t want to restrict my son, but I didn’t want to be stuck in this continuous laundry cycle anymore either.

Then, one day, I stopped into Whole Foods on my way home from work because I needed to pick up a few staples for dinner. On my way to the checkout, I walked past an aisle that had diapers. As I was rushing down the aisle, the Coterie label caught my eye and I stopped and did a double take. I couldn’t believe it! Was this real? I didn’t think they sold Coterie in stores. I thought you had to purchase an online subscription. I was so excited; I couldn’t wait to purchase them and take them home to try! If it could help my son wake up dry, I would be willing to pay a little more.

Coterie Diapers: The Revelation

Two years of global research guided Coterie in designing the perfect diaper. Their focus was on absorbency, flex fit, minimal leaks, and no skin irritation. They not only met but exceeded these criteria. What’s more, Coterie diapers are hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, chlorine-free, and free from any harmful additives. If you’ve read any of my other posts, then you know how much this means to me and what a fanatic I am about clean health and personal care products. Diapers are no exception!

When I first touched a Coterie diaper, I was amazed by its softness, reminiscent of cloth (or butter). The fit was impeccable, with perfectly proportioned sides and tape. The elastic side gathers contributed to fewer leaks and blowouts.

The Coterie Difference

Coterie diapers offer more than just a comfortable fit. Here are some of the standout features that make them exceptional:

• 12-hour leak protection: Bid farewell to those dreaded nighttime diaper changes.
• 70% more liquid capacity: Coterie diapers absorb four times faster, reducing leaks.
• 3x drier skin: Your baby’s delicate skin is protected from diaper rash.

For me, Coterie diapers were a game-changer, ensuring my son’s dry nights and eliminating the added daily stress and chaos of the laundry ordeal. While they may be slightly pricier, in an effort to save money, I’ve found a compromise by using Coterie diapers at night and a more budget-friendly, yet effective option during the day, like Pampers.
