Free Non-Toxic Diaper Guide

Your baby will go through about 3,000 diapers in the first year alone. Nothing else you buy sits against their skin for that many hours, for two or three years straight.

And the boxes all say the same thing: "pure," "plant-based," "gentle." Only the back of the box has to be true.

I'm Rose, a former cosmetic chemist and mom. I flipped the boxes so you don't have to stand in the diaper aisle googling.

• What to put back on the shelf and what to bring home, from chlorine bleaching to fragrance to lotion in the liner

• The words on the box that don't mean much, and what to look for instead

• My 6 clean diaper picks, from budget to splurge, with the price per diaper

• What going clean really costs, and it's about $18 a month more than a typical diaper

• Cloth options that don't feel like a second job

• A tap-to-check diaper station list for your registry

You'll know exactly which box to grab, what it costs, and that what's against your baby's skin all day is the kind you'd choose on purpose.

It's made for your phone, so it's right there with you in the store.
