HEMP PRODUCT: Diapers
SUB MARKETS: Baby care, Undergarments, Absorbent Materials
Day 18 of our 31 Days of Hemp campaign will please all the green mommies out there: hemp diapers. Although usually blended with cotton for softness and comfort, hemp components boost diaper performance with ~8x the absorbency of cotton. Hemp is also far more pest resistant than cotton, so few (if any) chemicals are needed when growing. With a variety of snaps for sizing and “doubler” inserts for heavy flows, diapers can grow with the baby while fewer end up in landfills.
Other perks to bulking up with hemp fibers:
- Less water to grow than cotton
- Anti-fungal (mildew resistant)
- Naturally anti-microbial
- Durable and long-lasting
- Softens with washing
- More absorbent
- Breathable
