About Swaddlebees
Whether it's Swaddlebees or Blueberry diapers, we put just as much care and effort in creating clean diapers the same way you would in making a meal for people you love--you start with the best ingredients.
Whenever possible, we
source our fabrics from the USA. This not only ensures us that the
fabric is manufactured without any possible contaminants
that may prove harmful to infants, but we have also found that the
quality is more consistent and surpasses that of its imported
counterparts. Using US-made fabrics also helps keep the textile
manufacturing industry alive in the US.
The cotton used to make
our organic cotton fabrics is sourced from the US as much as possible.
When supply is low, it is sourced from Turkey. But no matter where the
cotton comes from , the fabric is still milled in the US.
The microfleece we use
has a special weave that makes it 95% less susceptible to detergent
build-up that causes repelling and leaking issues to cloth diapers made
with a polyester wicking layer. It is 3 times more expensive than
imported microfleece or suedecloth, but performance is our main
priority and is something we feel must not be compromised.
Even the polyester knit
used to make our laminated fabrics are all made in the US. We design
most of our prints and have them printed at a local fabric printing
facility that strives to maintain a sustainable and
environmentally-friendly operation by using aqueous dyes instead of oil-based dyes, and reusing and recycling majority of the raw materials used in their operation.
We use latex-free
elastics exclusively on all our diapering products. Again, this type
of elastic costs 3 times more than your typical polybraid or knitted
elastic, but using latex-free elastic ensures us that the possibility
of babies getting an allergic reaction with sensitivity to latex is
greatly reduced, if not eliminated. And just like most of the fabrics
we use, our latex-free elastic are made in the USA as well.
Our products are
carefully manufactured in a professionally-run equal-opportunity
facility in the US where seamstresses and workers are paid an average
of $10-12/hour, treated with respect, allowed sufficient time off to enjoy life and be with their families.
