At the height of competition for Fuzzi Bunz pocket diaper sales over the last few months, free microterry inserts were the rage. One savvy retailer posted a search engine ad which read ‘Have enough inserts? Get a free gift instead.’ I laughed out loud because it was such a great ad. Then I could not help but think ‘Had enough polyester?’

Microterry is primarily polyester with nylon added for increased resiliency to wash and wear. There is no ‘organic’ or natural microterry. It is a synthetic man-made fabric. And though it may be modern marvel fabric, if you do not know already, polyester is a petroleum derived product. We offer you an alternative. Certified organic cotton avoids the pitfalls of conventional cotton production. It is pesticide free, gentle on the environment and even softer on your baby’s skin. Organic cotton velour even has a feel dry quality to it and matches the absorbency of hemp fabrics while still retaining a trim fabric for diapers.

A new baby, so innocent and pure, reminds us of the importance of natural and organic alternatives often invigorating the whole family to go organic in a variety of ways. In our family and shoppers at our online baby store, parents are making eco-conscious and organic choices from what they put against their baby’s skin to what she eats: organic cotton diapers, organic wool diaper covers, organic baby clothes, organic cotton baby slings, and organic nutrition.

Tune in for more on organic cotton diapers, wool covers, fair trade, co-sleeping, and more, including TWO big product announcements.
