Honest Company

Jcblackb · September 2015

Has anyone used or know someone that has used the Honest Company for monthly diaper delivery? If so, how was your/their experience? Thanks!

We did for awhile until we couldn't afford it. I have been contemplating signing back up again because we really like the diapers for our DS and it was convenient to not ever need to go to the store and grab wipes or diapers. They are worth the money in my opinion. You get more than enough for a months delivery and they are great with customer service!

je5sc0 · September 2015

My best friend used them and loved it! I babysit her daughter and I liked that they didn't smell "diaper-y" and her daughter was allergic to everything under the sun and she never had a problem, leak or blowout.

I've been stockpiling but once the LO is here and we run out we plan on doing the subscription. AND the patterns are cute.

ohbaby714 · September 2015

I did a free trial of them and while I didn't really care for the diapers, I really liked the wipes and their customer service is absolutely amazing. They are pretty expensive, so I'm actually glad I didn't like them that much.

Convenience wise you can sign up for Amazon subscribe and save and they ship once a month too and you get a discount!

I was planning on doing amazon if we don't go the CD route.

Target has a subscribe and save, as well.

We use them and like them (subscription). I wouldn't use them in the newborn 50-diapers-a-day stage, though.. Too expensive. I like the fun prints. It seems silly, but it makes diaper changes less of a task when you have something cute/fun to put on them.

tooba22 · September 2015

My friend has a subscription and brags about honest co. diapers and wipes. I think the prints are super cute and fun! She did have an issue with the tabs on the sides of the diapers...A pack was sent out with a few tabs missing oops! I plan on using pampers swaddlers at first and then switching to honest company.

cMichelle0423 · September 2015

Love them!! Everyone says they're expensive, BUT, when you do the math, they're actually cheaper when you're using the smaller sizes. We didn't "break even" with other diapers (pampers, huggies, etc) until we got to size 4. Then once we got to size 5 they were getting more expensive than the store bought brands. (The bigger the sizes the fewer come in a pack). Both my boys have sensitive skin and these were the only ones that wouldn't give them rashes or chemical burns. They never leaked or bad any blow outs either. You can always do a free trial! You can sample several of their products for just $6 for shipping. Totally worth it. We love all their stuff.

ashcody2 · September 2015

The patterns are adorable of course but the diapers themselves weren't that great in my opinion - I think you should do the free trial they offer and see for yourself. They were expensive and I thought other brands were better and cheaper.

Shatzegirl · September 2015

I had the bundle for a few months but didn't care for the wipes. I loved the diapers in the smaller sizes. Chemical-free and adorable patterns. However, they got too expensive in the larger sizes and my son kept having blowouts in them.

We now use Subacribe & Save and Amazon Mom through Amazon and it's a great deal. We get Earth's Best Wipes and diapers. They work great! Seventh Generation is another good option. They're not as cute as Honest but work just as well.

Shatzegirl · September 2015

@VitaLuna I agree! The adorable patterns helps make diaper changes less of a task. I'm a sucker for cute patterns and packaging lol!

willamina28 · September 2015

I agree with a PP. I did the math, on a spreadsheet and everything, they are not more expensive. If you are super couponer they would be, I am not, so they were about the same as getting any other diapers.

Like she said the larger sizes might get slightly more expensive because you get less of them. But I also notice that he goes through them a lot less the bigger the diaper size. Not like newborn changing them 12 times a day!

I've been using them for about 9 months now and it is so much better than going to the store to get wipes/diapers, we've never run out. We also have only had a few that he's grown out of and doesn't matter I'm just saving them for the new baby.

We priced them out as well and they were about the same as the brand we usually get but with all the store and manufacturers coupons and the target red card they actually turn out to be quite a bit more expensive. We get the coupons in the mail and emailed regularly so it's not like we are super couponers or anything. I do love the cute patterns though! I think more diapers should do that. Huge selling point I think!

ashcody2 · September 2015

I have Amazon mom so I get 20% off diapers + wipes and saved $$ that way on more expensive brands that I felt were better quality.

rachellynne27 · September 2015

I have been getting a diapers & wipes bundle for a while. We are trying to potty train DD (she's 2) so the option to switch out diapers for training pants is nice!

Once we get DD trained we'll switch her bundle to accommodate the baby.

Also they are extremely helpful anytime there is an issue. FedEx lost one of my shipments and they shipped another one as soon as possible plus gave me a discount on my next order for the inconvenience. Plus they occasionally give credits for the holidays. Overall I am extremely happy with them and use other some of their other products for DD such as Shampoo, lotion, etc.

Sprinkles07 · September 2015

I've used them since DS was born and LOVE them! When he was first born we ended up using Pampers swaddlers because the HC diapers were too big but after a couple weeks he fit into them.On occasion I forget to update when my bundle needs to come and I'll settle for regular disposables in the mean time. I have to say the HC diapers are SO much better in my opinion. I find regular diapers gross in the way the chemicals absorb.Do the free trial!!

sweetpea216 · September 2015

My sister used these for my niece and loved them. In fairness, she didn't really have any other options though because everything else gave her a rash. They do have really cute prints. My niece loved picking out which print she was going to wear which made changing her diaper sorta fun for her. She loved the strawberry print and would go around saying strawberry over and over after a diaper change.

She also uses a lot of their other items- shampoo, detangler, hand sanitizer etc. I haven't decided if I will use the diapers but I will definitely be using their shampoo and a few other products.

serendipity216 · September 2015

i used them for about 2 years- until my DD was potty trained. loved the diapers and pull ups (which we used towards the end). the wipes were also great! like another poster said, we didn't use them the first 4-5 months when you are using a TON of diapers, but started after that. the first few months i went to BJ's and got diapers in bulk for a reasonable price. i plan to do the same thing with this baby!

Wurrkingurrl · September 2015

I know a lot of people do, but I personally didn't like their diapers at all. I didn't think they were nearly as absorbent as pampers, which is what I use. There are other subscriptions you can get if you like the convenience of monthly service. I would say do their trial.... it's seven diapers i think. If you like them, subscribe, if not you can look into other options

Kyliefmaddex · September 2015

Agree on the comment that they aren't as absorbent. They also don't have the "poop flap" on the back that prevents blowouts up the back. After one of those with the Honest Diapers, we went back to Huggies.

brushesnbrunch · September 2015

For those who use honest company - zulily is doing a sale thing for a bunch of their stuff right now

graceinchaos · September 2015

Can anyone give me feedback on the floor cleaner? I currently use the laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner & soap. My scalp is incredibly sensitive! Honest Company was the first brand of everything that I've found doesn't irritate my skin, yay!

cvolkmar · September 2015

I don't know anything about the company, but they're featured on Zulily today if you wanted to buy some stuff on sale to try it out.

anewideefixe · September 2015

I registered at Target and got a welcome gift in the store. It had a coupon in it for $25 off $50 of Honest Company products. I bought 2 boxes of diapers for $24.99 and another box of Pampers Swaddlers for $24.99 too. They had a deal that if you buy 3 boxes you get a $20 gift card. I also had a coupon for $4 off Honest Company diapers and a $3 off coupon for Pampers. All in all, I got three boxes of diapers for $22.97+tax! I felt pretty accomplished and I have a good start to my stockpile. Edit: Typo

FunnyGal18 · September 2015

I haven't tried their diapers bc I've so unimpressed with their bodywash. I also saw some really sunburned kids who used their sunscreen.

I've used pretty much all of their cleaning products. I think they're pretty good but they are just so overpriced. I've actually never tried buying them individually so I'm not sure what their pricing is like, but I was in their "bundle" subscription program until I realized how out of hand my spending was on cleaning products, haha. I think the bundle was like $40/month then I always got laundry detergent separately as an extra item. So spending like $60/month on cleaning products, which is so ridiculous. I do admit that I clean excessively, though, so I was going through a lot. :-P But yeah, I think their cleaning products (including floor cleaner) are effective and smell good, but not necessarily any better than other brands (including other natural brands) IMO, and perhaps more expensive.

ETA: I also never used it on hardwood. I used their products when I was in an apartment that had terrible laminate floors and tile floors which is what I used the floor cleaner on. So unfortunately I can't speak to how it worked on Hardwood. I use both a Bona system and a Shark steam mop now on my hardwood and I like both.

Have you tried Method cleaners? I have a Pink Grapefruit Degreaser from Method that I love. No harsh chemicals, smells good, and works great. I don't know if they have floor cleaner though. I use Bona for my hardwoods.

Aren't you supposed to use vinegar on hardwoods? I've never had real hardwoods, just laminate so never needed anything more than my shark.

jaimeruns · September 2015

I love Method! Use it for pretty much everything. For my hardwood I used Bona, but we're replacing that with tile. For tile floors, I use hot water with vinegar, some castile soap, tea tree oil and whatever other scent of essential oil I'm feeling. I don't think I would try Honest cleaners, just because they are really expensive. If I want to splurge on a cleaner it's Meyers in lavender scent... my absolute favorite.

pbtoast · September 2015

@brushesnbrunch I think that's up for debate. TBH I'm a little confused about WHAT you're supposed to use on hardwood. I have read that you're supposed to use vinegar, but last year when I had hardwood installed in one more room, the guy said not to use vinegar and to instead use something like Bona. I use diluted vinegar for touch-ups and around the outside of the room where the Bona/Shark can't reach because I like to live life on the edge.

kbedfox · September 2015

We use Method for most of our cleaning supplies too, and Bona on hardwoods. I've never used vinegar on them-- is the point to avoid chemicals in other cleaners?

brushesnbrunch · September 2015

Im not really sure either since I've heard conflicting things as well.. When my in laws got their hardwood installed they were told to use vinegar and to never use a stream mop

DrillSergeantCat · September 2015

I've heard not to use a steam mop too.

jaimeruns · September 2015

I think the reason you don't want to use a steam mop is because it can loosen the glue that holds down the boards. Our hardwood floors just buckled over the summer, due to humidity, and it looks like the glue came up. I haven't ever used a steam mop, but we just bought the house in Feb so maybe the previous owners did.

I think vinegar would be ok, as long as it was maybe just sprayed on and then wiped up, instead of mopped on so it doesn't get really wet.

pbtoast · September 2015

Well I guess I've ruined my floors, then. :-P Nah, I'm not worried. I haven't had any problems so far and we need to have our floors re-finished anyway when the big dog is gone. He's totally ruined the finish with his claws.

Mine too! My floors looked so good until we moved the 80-pound boxer in. I'm not even sure you can refinish bamboo.

---edit trying to fix a quote fail---

I haven't! I'll have to look into that. I've also wanted to try using homemade cleaners, but it's hard to know where would be a good starting point.

We have all hardwood floors, except for the bathrooms, which are tiled (like teeny tiny tiles from the 20's lol, it's really fun to clean :-| ). I've been trying like crazy to find a good cleaner for the hardwoods. I've heard mixed reviews on using vinegar for hardwoods, and I've had mixed results, sometimes it streaks, other times it's amazing. Idk what I'm doing wrong!

Up and up had Christmas themed diapers last year! They were cute.
Honest does have adorable designs, but the clothes go over them and then they poop or pre and you throw them away. That's why I haven't given in to the cuteness
