Honest Clean Conscious Diapers®: Made with You + Baby in Mind

Parenthood: where every day brings countless choices to nurture your child—which means finding all the ways to support their well-being and comfort, too! Some choices are one-offs, but others, like picking the right diaper, will be a choice you’ll face about 8–12 times a day (at least!). If you’re considering your diaper options, one inevitable question arises: Do you have to choose between Clean Conscious™ ingredients and performance?

The good news: You don’t have to compromise. We're always looking for ways to bring our Honest fam reliable, baby-safe essentials you can feel good about. Our latest innovation in Honest diapers, our Clean Conscious lineup, brings more than comfort to the changing table, proving you can have the best of both worlds.

Clean Conscious Diapers are thoughtfully formulated to go easy on sensitive skin without sacrificing comfort or performance. At Honest, our Clean Conscious approach focuses on:

• Up to 100% leak protection with Comfort Dry Technology

• Designed to protect delicate skin

• Enhancements for babe's comfort, including a wider fit and super stretchy sides

• Plant-derived ingredients, like a responsibly sourced plant-based inner liner

Clean Conscious diapers offer carefully selected components that are made to be safe for baby’s delicate skin, giving little ones the TLC they deserve—one diaper at a time.

Parents generally consider three main diaper categories: reusable, conventional disposables, and Clean Conscious disposable diapers.

Reusable Diapers: These diapers are made from washable, natural materials like cotton, bamboo, or hemp. Maintaining reusable diapers takes effort and upkeep, but their initial investment can pay off over time, especially when washed in full loads, line-dried, and used for multiple children in a family.

Conventional Disposables: The most widely available option, these diapers prioritize convenience—they’re designed for single use and fuss-free disposal. Disposable diapers are popular among busy families for a reason!

Clean Conscious Disposable Diapers: Clean Conscious Diapers aim to bridge the gap between convenience and thoughtful ingredient selection, designed to protect delicate skin and third-party tested for 350 harmful chemicals. Our diapers use a plant-based inner liner and are formulated without ingredients like fragrance, natural rubber latex, and parabens. While Clean Conscious Diapers sometimes cost more than basic disposables, many parents find the benefits well worth the investment.

Clean Conscious Diapers offer a thoughtful choice for parents who care about gentle options for their baby—made with you + baby in mind without compromising on keeping little ones dry and comfortable.

First, let’s rewind a bit to dive into why Clean Conscious ingredients matter. Disposable diapers totally revolutionized parenthood in the 20th century with their convenience. They’ve come a long way in absorbance and comfort, and today’s parents have more choices than ever.

The typical disposable diapers we know today have had tremendous success, but modern parents are increasingly mindful about the products they choose for their families—and understandably so:

• Many parents want to know what’s in the products they use for their little ones and should have access to transparency in ingredients.

• Despite advancements in diaper design, 7–35% of infants experience diaper rash at least once. (Check out these diaper rash tips if you’re going through it!)

• Diapers with gentle ingredients offer parents a more value-aligned option made without potential irritants like natural rubber latex, fragrance, and parabens.

At Honest, our Clean Conscious diapers were created with these mindful parents (like you!) in mind.

At the end of the day, what matters most is a healthy, happy baby, but Clean Conscious diapers give parents a way to choose products they can feel good about while still delivering exceptional performance by keeping baby dry and comfortable.

We get it—researching diaper features can be a surprisingly time-consuming task. Here’s a quick breakdown of what makes Clean Conscious Diapers special, and exactly why each feature was designed with you in mind:

A comfortable baby is a happy baby, and a happy baby means a household that’s not constantly on diaper red alert. We know this all too well, which is why Honest pulled out all the stops to make life a little easier for you and your child.

1. Features for Every Stage

Honest’s Clean Conscious Diapers make diaper management simple with a diaper that adapts, no matter what stage:

• Newborn: A specially designed belly button cutout accommodates a newborn baby’s healing umbilical cord.

• Sizes 1 & 2: Double poo pockets are a blowout-trapping game changer for those messy situations.

• Sizes 3–7: As babies become more mobile, their diaper moves with them—stretchy sides keep them comfortably snug. Check out our Overnight Diapers for an overnight option!

Rest easy knowing you have a product that considers baby’s needs all the way from birth until right before training pants!

2. Benefits for Baby

Honest Clean Conscious Diapers are designed to protect your little one’s delicate skin through their entire journey in diapers. Carefully selected materials provide a gentle touch on delicate skin so you can focus on the joys of parenting without worrying about diaper-related skin concerns.

3. High-Performance Absorption

Advanced absorption technology helps you experience fewer leaks—or blowouts and beyond—for fewer outfit changes and more playtime. Quick absorb channels and quilted bubble liners draw wetness away for leak protection that actually works.

4. Parent-Friendly Features

You’ve got enough on your plate! We've put thought into every experience, including yours. We also added a wetness indicator across all sizes so you know when it's time for a change. Plus, added comfort and absorption mean baby can stay dry longer.

5. Innovative Diaper Technology

Every Honest Clean Conscious Diaper features values-driven technology for a more efficient design making it less bulky and more comfy without compromising on absorbency. Win-win, right?

6. Designs for Everyone

Our print designs meet the needs of all different vibes. There are some prints that work for newborns (sweeter elements with a softer color palette) all the way to toddler age (bolder and more variety), but sometimes you want different designs based on the stage. Regardless of age, you have a well-rounded selection of patterns to choose from. Or, stick with classic white. The choice is yours!

(P.S. Did you know that we have a butterfly hidden in every one of our designs?)

7. Value and Convenience

Like anything else, stellar performance can result in fewer replacements. In this case, fewer diaper changes cut down diapering costs. Take it a savings step further with Honest diapers and wipes subscriptions. In addition to 15% off, delivery to your door is a huge investment in time and convenience.

Parenting is tricky as it is. Making more mindful lifestyle choices with a baby doesn’t have to be overwhelming! Here are some simple, practical tips to make your family routines even more sustainably-minded.

1. Look for Transparently Made Baby Products

Choose baby products that are manufactured with carefully selected materials and Clean Conscious ingredients. Look for options with safety certifications.

2. Master Timely Diaper Changes

Invest in reliable diapers that can withstand day-to-day diapering while providing all the comfort your baby deserves. Change diapers as necessary, using the wetness indicator as a guide.

3. Choose Clean Conscious Wipes

Opt for wipes that complement your Clean Conscious Diaper choices. Made with Clean Conscious ingredients, Honest baby wipesHonest baby wipes are compostable and designed to break down quickly in just eight weeks. That’s as fast as a grapefruit peel or an onion*!

4. Recycle Boxes and Packaging

Whenever possible, recycle diaper boxes and packaging responsibly. Check with your local municipality for proper disposal.

5. Buy in Bulk

Stock up whenever you can. Purchasing larger packs cuts down on packaging waste. Check out our Honest Diaper Box for bulk savings.

6. Donate Unused Diapers

If your baby outgrows a size before you can use your entire diaper collection, consider donating unused sizes to a friend, a family member, or a local charity.

7. Involve the Whole Family

Get siblings, grandparents, and other family members involved! Share your Clean Conscious choices (like using Honest diapers) with everyone involved in the baby’s care to keep your thoughtful decisions consistent, no matter who’s at the changing table.

8. When In Doubt, Take It Slow

Remember, every small step makes a difference. As you navigate a more sustainably-minded parenthood, take pride in every win, and don’t stress yourself out about overhauling your whole routine. It’s about progress, not perfection.

Choosing the right diaper for your baby doesn’t have to be a choice between comfort and performance. Honest Clean Conscious Diapers tick all the boxes, allowing you to care for your little one with one less thing to worry about.
