Brand replaced plastic with 100% cotton in key diaper layers
May 12, 2025
By: Tara Olivo
Associate Editor at Nonwovens Industry
Cottonsie launched a new diapering solution for parents who prioritize sustainability and natural ingredients in their baby care products. With its revolutionary, patent-pending technology, Cottonsie has delivered a plant-based diaper that is comparable to reusable cloth diapers in terms of natural fibers and breathability, but with the convenience and performance of disposable diapers. Cottonsie has replaced plastic with 100% breathable cotton in key diaper layers, including the topsheet, backsheet, acquisition distribution layer (ADL) and core wrap. Cotton is a natural, breathable fiber that supports a drier, healthier microclimate that can minimize the incidence of diaper rash. While the diaper includes synthetic materials to optimize performance, the majority of the diaper is plant-based—and 82% of it biodegrades within just 18 months—setting a new benchmark for sustainability in disposable diapering. While reusable cloth diapers have long been seen as the greener choice, they are inconvenient, labor-intensive and often lead to increased skin irritation from moisture retention. Cottonsie solves these issues with a cutting-edge design that wicks moisture away from the diaper’s cotton topsheet and into the absorbent core, delivering dryness comparable to leading national brands made from plastic and other harmful ingredients. Parents who love the sustainability of cloth diapers—but want the convenience of a disposable diaper—finally have an option that offers both. Unlike conventional diapers made mostly of plastic, Cottonsie uses 100% natural cotton in nearly every area that touches a baby’s skin. “Plastic diapers are clogging our landfills and leaching toxins into the environment,” says Nicole Richards, founder and CEO of Cottonsie. “We created Cottonsie to give parents a real alternative: a high-performance, comfortable diaper made mostly from natural, biodegradable materials—and priced accessibly for everyday use.”
