I met Carie at the Birth Expo earlier this year and immediately knew her cloth diaper cleaning service would be something I myself would love to use (when the time comes)! She graciously sent me some of the most adorable “Shhhh Don’t Ring the Doorbell” door hangers to include in my gift bags for new mamas! I wanted to write a little Boss Babe Spotlight for her and share her passion with you all!
What she’s about:
The BBDS and Cloth Diaper Story
We are a family-owned business, run by myself, a very busy mama. I am not only your own personal diaper doula, I am also a full-time mom, and part-time Registered Nurse. I am very passionate about cloth diapers (and lifestyle choices that reduce waste and minimize yucky chemicals). My goal, as a self-proclaimed ‘Diaper Doula’, is to make cloth diapering easy and accessible for all those who are interested in using reusable diapers. – Carie
Comfort & Convenience
Our 100% cotton diapers feel extra-soft against your baby’s delicate skin. The breathability of cotton allows air to circulate through the diaper, helping to reduce diaper rash.
Our cotton diapers are sized to easily fit into a modern diaper cover, keeping diaper changes simple, while providing great absorbency with multiple layers of pure cotton. We supply everything you need to cloth diaper your baby from birth to learning to use the potty independently. As your baby grows, we are here to make cloth diapering easy for you every step of the way!
Sustainability
Choosing to use cloth diapers helps the environment by using 70% less energy per diaper than creating a comparable disposable. One child in disposable diapers will require 20 trees and 420 gallons of petroleum in just 2.5yrs. It takes upwards of 82,000 tons of plastic and a quarter-million trees to manufacture the disposable diapers that cover the bottoms of 90 percent of the babies born in the US.
Our cotton diapers have a life expectancy of 100-150 washes, and after that they are repurposed as lint-free rags. An estimated 18 billion disposables are thrown away per year in the U.S. alone making them the third largest single consumer item in landfills, after newspapers and food and beverage containers. Disposable diapers take hundreds of years to decompose. That means every disposable diaper ever made is still in a landfill somewhere!
Our Wash Process
The diapers are professionally laundered in a heavy duty industrial washing machine with water that has been heated to a sanitizing temperature using an in-line on-demand commercial water heater, and washed with EPA Safer Choice certified products. Essentially that means that the products are baby, earth, and cloth diaper friendly!
