Why are we having an episode devoted to diapers? The average kid is in diapers for 2.5 years. That’s 6,000-7,000 diapers. Baby bums are in a diaper for a long time, so we want to know what what we’re working with!
After Amrita Saigal and Jim Keighley worked together at P&G, their paths diverged to sanitary pad innovation in India and pioneering diaper engineering in the US. Retirement is not one of Jim’s strong suits, so he joined Amrita’s mission to disrupt the diaper industry with Kudos.
Have questions about up-the-back blow-outs? Wonder if overnight diapers are scams? Do you know what the four causes of diaper rash are? Do you know if your current diapers have plastic or cotton touching your baby’s bum? Is your diaper biodegradable? What should you truly look for when considering a diaper? Beyond these questions on the brains of many parents, Jamie digs into fascinating concepts concerning diapers.
After a brief history of diapers (yes, at one point they were huge and yes they tried to do male vs. female diapers), join Jamie in learning about:
-Environmental impacts associated with all types of diaper
materials (diapers are the third largest contributor to landfill
waste!)
-Plastic vs. Bamboo
-Lingo like gasketing, no-motion zones, and super absorbers
Jim created diapers as we know them today since 1976. With
Amrita and the Kudos team he is pioneering a sustainable,
eco-friendly, and BUM-FRIENDLY diaper one day at a time.
