If you're preparing to welcome a baby into your life, then you are faced with one absolute truth. You will need diapers. And if you're going the disposable route, you will need a lot of them. It's no big secret that diapers aren't exactly Mother Nature's best friend. In fact, studies have indicated that it takes 500 years for a traditional disposable diaper to decompose while sitting in a landfill.

On top of the threat they pose to the environment, it's also true that diapers aren't exactly the most affordable necessity on the registry list. Diaper need is a growing issue in the United States and has only skyrocketed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Aside from harming the health and well-being of the child, diaper need also puts enormous emotional stress on parents, leading to anxiety and depression. This repercussion comes back around, posing further harm to the child.

Here's the good news: there are many diaper brands out there that are looking to make a difference. From biodegradable options to brands that have built giving back into their business models, there are diapers available across price points for parents who are looking to make socially and environmentally responsible diapering decisions. Here's a roundup of some of our favorites.
