Every Baby Needs Diaper Cream - Or Do They?

The most recommended cloth diaper since 2021 in German-speaking areas - 20,000 parents are diapering with Judes - Judes babies have already prevented over 117,000kg of plastic waste. The most recommended cloth diaper since 2021 in German-speaking areas - 20,000 parents are diapering with Judes - Judes babies have already prevented over 117,000kg of plastic waste.

Healthy Skin Through Natural Materials

Judes cloth diapers contain no chemicals, which means there are no unwanted skin reactions.

Disposable diapers often include moisturizers intended to counteract the drying effect of the super absorbent core.

At Judes, we use organic cotton for our inner diapers. This material is breathable, allowing your baby's skin to self-regulate without the need for unnecessary creams or ointments.

Many parents report that their baby’s skin has normalized after switching from disposable diapers to Judes.

Healthy Hip Development

Babies are born with hips that aren't fully ossified. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that their natural posture, the squat-spread position or frog position, is adequately supported. Wide wrapping encourages this squat-spread position and is often recommended preventively by doctors and midwives.

With cloth diapers like Judes, you automatically practice "wide wrapping".

Natural, Earlier Potty Training

Children who wear Judes or combine them with disposable diapers often become potty trained 2 years earlier than with disposable diapers (on average almost 1 year).

This is because children with Judes receive natural bio-feedback from which they learn. Disposable diapers are designed to always feel dry. This results in children with disposable diapers becoming diaper-free later on.

Health Risks Associated with Disposable Diapers

We prefer to talk about ourselves rather than about other diapers. Nevertheless, we find it important to also bring attention to the health downsides of disposable diapers:

Studies show that babies exposed to highly toxic diapers may face a serious threat of disease later in life. It appears that 90% of European children are exposed to harmful chemicals in disposable diapers.

Diaper-Free Sooner with Judes

Frequently Asked Questions about Judes

Our poo paper catches the stool. It separates the stool from the diaper and is then disposed of - like with disposable diapers.


Our Poo Paper is thin paper made from cellulose. It is completely compostable.


Tip: As long as you baby isn't eating solid food yet, you can diaper without our Poo Paper.

We have designed Judes in a way that makes washing and drying as easy as possible.

You collect the used Judes in our diaper bag. When you want to wash them, you put the diaper bag in the washing machine along with the diapers.

This means that you don't need to touch the used Judes again. The Judes diapers automatically come out of the diaper bag during the wash cycle.

Washing takes 15 minutes per week (including hanging up and taking down).

This is similar to the amount of time required to buy, put away and throw out disposable diapers.

We have conducted a survey with over 2,000 parents. Several of them changed using disposable diapers, other with Judes. The result: Judes were shown to be less time-consuming (circa 20 minutes per week) than disposable diapers (circa 30 minutes per week).

Also: Children become diaper-free on average 1 year earlier with Judes than with disposable diapers - this is also backed up by our survey. The research shows that the total diapering time with cloth diapers is shorter than with disposable diapers.

No, because Judes work similarly to disposable diapers. Our Poo Paper catches your baby's stools. When taking off the diaper, you can remove the stool very easily from the inner diaper. Like with disposable diapers, you simply throw the Poo Paper away with it's contents inside.

The inner diaper goes in the diaper bag. If the diaper bag is full, you put it in the washing machine with the diapers inside. This means that you don't have to hold the used diapers a second time. Judes diapers automatically come out of the diaper bag in the wash.

Everything gets cleaned out hygienically in the washing machine.

By the way: Storing diapers in our diaper bag is odor neutral. This amazing many people because disposable diapers are renowned for their stench. This is because disposable diapers are kept in an air-tight in diapers bags in diaper buckets. This leads to unbearable smells in your home. Our diaper bags, in which used diapers stay until the next wash, allows air to circulate so that the bathroom remains odor neutral.

Many of our parents even said that Judes hold up better than the disposable diapers that they used to use.

Why is that?

The superabsorbent polymers used in disposable diapers can store a lot of moisture, just not quickly. Therefore, with heavy wetters or milk stools, a portion of the liquid drips off an leaks away.

Organice cotton naturally absorbs extremely quickly, so that Judes also hold up well with heavy wetters and milk stools.

We use an innovative weave, which is extremely absorbent. Judes hold up so well, that they can be worn both during the day and the night. Additonally, both our inner diaper and covers have cuffs at the back and the legs, which act as a double barrier.

No, with Judes, clothes fit in normal sizes.

A slim fit was super important to use in the development of Judes. The material for our inner diaper is weaved specially for us: it is especially thin and still absorbent! Thus, we have managed to ensure that Judes do not make as bulky a diaper butt as many other cloth diapers. To be fair, though, it must be said that Judes still have more volume than a disposable diaper. For the vast majority of Babies who tested Judes, the normal pants size still fitted.



Judes are definitely noticeably thinner than other cloth diapers.

Our promise is that you will not need an instruction manual. With Judes, nothing needs to be folded or pressed, it's all self-explanatory. This is exactly what we founded Judes for.

Yes, it's very easy.


Judes are designed to be both leak-proof and space-saving. Thus, you can store the used Judes in our small diaper bag and then wash them at home with the rest of the diaper laundry. Daycares also like to use Judes.
