Going Paper Towel-Less
September 19, 2019 3:48 pm | by
Choose a green alternative to paper towels. #reducereuserecycle #cottonbabies #choosecloth

As a cloth diaper company, we strive to reduce waste at our office and limit our environmental impact. After a Costco run, it seemed ridiculous how many paper towels we bought. Did we really need them? Our founder, Jenn, mentioned that they rarely use paper towels at home. There’s a drawer in her family’s kitchen with cut up t-shirts that are used in place of paper napkins and paper towels. So, we asked our staff if they had any t-shirts they wanted to Marie Kondo. Rather than taking them to a thrift store, we asked them to bring them to

Babies at Work: Retail Store Edition
July 11, 2018 8:03 am | by

One of the unique benefits of working at Cotton Babies is that we welcome babies at work. You’ve all seen the blog from the lovely Julia about bringing her son, Tommy, to work with her at the corporate offices for Cotton Babies. (If you haven’t, read it here and the update here…) There’s a whole other side to bringing babies to work that differs from the office spaces that are Cotton Babies: the retail store. I was lucky enough to be able to quit my full-time job to work part-time, and, added bonus, bring my little one to work with me!

Cloth Diapers Coming to Walmart
June 14, 2018 1:31 pm | by
Make cloth diapers mainstream! Look for cloth diapers in Walmart in 2019.

We have exciting news! As many of you know we released Elemental Joy in the Fall of 2017. We know that diapers are expensive. Many families struggle to feed their family and buy diapers. If a family wants to use cloth diapers, cost shouldn’t be an obstacle. Our heart is to make cloth diapers accessible to as many people as possible. We know little changes make a big difference. Walmart Open Call This week Jenn attended some meetings at Walmart’s 5th Annual Open Call at their headquarters in Bentonville, AR. Earlier today, we were informed that we are one step closer

Why We Love What We Do

Cotton Babies babies

In honor of Valentine’s Day, we thought it would be fun to talk about what our employees love about Cotton Babies. Cotton Babies isn’t just a store and we don’t simply make cloth diapers. We’re changing things. Preserving the World for the Future Most of our employees are parents. As parents, many of us are concerned about the planet our children and grandchildren will inherit. We’re certainly not perfect, but it’s nice to know that for every baby that uses cloth diapers, 1 ton of garbage is kept out of a landfill. And we get to be a part of

The Making of the Doodles Collection

Doodles Collection

The design team was tasked with coming up with new print concepts for our Cloth Diaper Collectors Club which ultimately became the Doodles Collection. While we love creating artwork to represent a particular person or group of people for the Genius Series, and learn a whole bunch doing so, we were excited to have the creative freedom to explore any topic we liked. As with any creative process, we started brainstorming ideas, taking inspiration from our pets, internet memes, and windowsill gardens, then took those ideas to some initial sketches. Step 1 – Sketch Every designer approaches pattern-making differently based

Babies at Work_Tommy and Mommy

I am extremely lucky to work at a company that goes out of its way to support mothers and families. At Cotton Babies, I get to bring my baby to work. Babies at work is easily the best perk I’ve ever had. Since returning to work, everyone asks me what it’s like. I came back to work when my baby, Tommy, was 8 weeks old. He is now 13 weeks old, and we are both adjusting to life in the office. Here, I’ll answer the questions I am most commonly asked. Where does the baby go? He’s with me most of

Maggie was revealed earlier today, and we’re in love… Not only with the print, itself, but also the genius, Maggie Lena Walker, who inspired it! Since it is Truly Genius Tuesday, We thought it would be fun to give you a bit of a behind-the-scenes look into our designer’s inspiration as she created Maggie.
