Discover the Secret to Eliminating Diapering Disasters


Now you can affordably experience MORE trial AND a lot less error while trying to find the perfect diaper.
Here’s How!
Diaper Dabbler will put together a convenient, personalized sample pack featuring different types of disposable diapers. Your shipment will include major brands, plus some of the latest and greatest diapers on the marketplace.
Our custom diaper sampling service is a stress-free way to experiment with diapers without wasting time and money. We’ll bet your parents and grandparents wish we’d been around when they were new parents!
So, how do you select the perfect diaper? Below, are important factors to consider:
·         Material  — How does the diaper feel?  How breathable is it?  Some are soft and cloth-like, while others feel like a paper bag or feel and sound like plastic.
·         Leak Protection – All diapers claim to have leak protection, but how well do they work?
·         Fit — How does the diaper fit around Baby’s waist and legs? 
·         Cost – Diapers range from $0.12-$0.38 per diaper, depending on quantity, size, etc.  A newborn may go through 140+ diapers in just the first two weeks – worth it for the right diaper, but a huge waste of money if you’ve chosen the wrong ones!
·         Ingredients – Some diapers contain chlorine, perfume, phthalates, lotions, latex, optical brighteners, and/or PVC, while others are compostable, contain renewable materials, or are plastic free.  Some contain diapers contain chemicals that may cause rashes on Baby’s sensitive skin.
