Kudos FAQ
What materials are in Kudos diapers?
This baby's diaper brand uses plant-based ingredients to make its diapers. The top sheet liner is made from 100% cotton, making it soft. It does not contain harmful phthalates and volatile organic compounds, such as methylene chloride, xylene, and toluene. Cotton is clinically proven to be safe on all types of skins, including sensitive ones.
The cotton liners on their diapers also absorb more excess moisture when compared to what other brands do. Kudos does not bleach their mechanically cleaned cotton, and you can even see some black specs that show you how natural they are.
The second layer is the Acquisition/Distribution Layer (ADL), an excellent piece of innovative engineering designed to move moisture away from your baby’s sensitive skin and take it to the diaper's absorbent core.
The diaper has two plant-based layers of ADL protection, unlike traditional diapers that feature only one. As a result, this allows the diaper to provide superior overnight-level protection and ensures even moisture distribution.
You will find the absorbent core beneath the ADL; this part is made of the following parts:
- The core wrap: This part holds the absorbent materials in.
- The swift-absorbing fluff pulp: This is made from trees, and it promotes the transfer of moisture into the superabsorbent polymer (SAP).
- Super absorbent polymer: As the most absorbent part, the SAP absorbs up to twenty times its weight in liquid; it can also hold moisture even when your baby is crawling, rolling, and sitting. Derived from petrochemicals, the SAP is a premium performance grade that absorbs loads of moisture, keeping it locked in the diaper's core.
The barrier film is the fourth layer in the Kudos diaper. Made from breathable polyethylene, it keeps moisture inside the Kudos diaper, ensuring it does not feel wet to the touch.
The barrier fill is breathable, allowing some moisture and air in and out of the Kudos diaper, ensuring it is not trapped next to your baby’s skin, which can trigger diaper rash.
The back sheet is made from soft and sustainable sugarcane-derived polyethylene. The final element found on the diaper features small, additional components placed towards the outer part of the diaper. These parts are made of plastic; however, the company plans to replace them with plant-based prototypes when they are commercially available.
Where are Kudos diapers made?
Their diapers are made in Germany to ensure they are of high quality.
What's the difference between Kudos diapers and bamboo diapers?
Bamboo diapers use harmful processing techniques dangerous to our planet. On the other hand, Kudos are made from more plant-based ingredients than those found in the leading natural diaper brands. They are also the first and only company to offer disposable diapers with a breathable and hypoallergenic 100% cotton liner. They clean the cotton in a chemical-free revolutionary process.
Do Kudos diapers have a wetness indicator?
Yes. The diapers come with a thin yellow line that turns blue to indicate it's wet.
How are their diapers different from other all-natural disposable diapers?
Kudos offers diapers two times more plant-based than the world's leading natural disposable diaper companies. They are the only brand that sells diapers with 100% cotton liners., meaning that cotton is the only material that will touch your baby's sensitive bum.
Kudo's patent-pending DoubleDryTM technology is built into all their diapers. The double distribution layer gives their diapers unmatched leakage protection.
What plant-based materials are Kudos diapers made of?
Kudos sources materials from sustainable and renewable resources, including clean, hypoallergenic cotton, trees, and sugarcane.
