Understanding Diaper Need

Diaper Need Impact On U.S. Families*

  • 48% borrow money from family/friends
  • 40% keep their child diaperless
  • 39% stretch diaper use by keeping a child in a diaper longer
  • 30% get diapers from a diaper bank or charity

Consequences of Diaper Need

  • Babies who remain in a soiled diaper too long are exposed to potential health risks such as skin infections, urinary tract infection, discomfort or pain.
  • Diaper need can impact the mental well-being of children and their families. Children become irritable and fussy, which can lead to maternal frustration, guilt and embarrassment.
  • Most childcare centers require parents to provide a day's supply of disposable diapers; therefore, many parents cannot go to work or school if they can't leave their babies at a child care center.
