The Honest Company VS Target, and Pampers

The Honest Company VS Target, and Pampers
(Make sure you take a look at my The Honest Company prices list this is hard to find on their site.)
This is my 100% honest review on The Honest company, VS Target and Pampers diapers and wipes. In this review I will take about price, product, company, and what my kids said about the products. So lets get this potty party started ;).

Why I chose Target and Pampers to go head to head with The Honest Company.

Well firstly Earth diapers are to hard for me to find and cost why to much money. I have tried every brand of diaper there is and Target and Pampers are the best. They are lower on chemicals and they make diapers and wipes for sensative skin. I have tried diapers brands that give my kids a rash just from wearing the diaper, or using the wipes. My favorites have always been Target and Pampers the other diapers a tried were given to me by other people, who told me they were better. The truth is they are not they do more harm then good and the leek and teir, and lets face it clorene is made for swimming pools not babies bottoms.    

·         Price means everything.

Lets be honest when you start having more than one baby price of product means everything. That is why it always comes first on my list. I want my kids to live organic so if we can’t buy it we make it or grow it, but I can’t make diapers and I really don’t want to too. So we have to be fair about pricing on this one because The Honest company only delivers to your home so I am adding shipping on to all of the prices. There are the prices.

·         The Honest company  

This is the weight and diaper chart from the The Honest Company site.

Price does not change for diaper size with The Honest Company; my kids wear a size5 so all the prices go off of size 5 diapers. So for 162 diapers, and 4 packs of 80 wipe which is 320wipes, you will pay 79.95. You can rest assured that every month your diapers will get there on time, and if you need them sooner you can call and ask them to send them sooner. Unless your kid gets sick you most likely will not have to call and ask for them sooner.

·     Pampers

If you want to order Pampers you can’t buy them online at the Pampers website. You will have to get them somewhere else like Target.com. You will have to log in every month and go through the steps to order every time you want more diapers. That will run you about 44.97 for Pamper size 5 140 count, and the sensitive wipes 384 count that’s 4 refills for 16.99; which comes out to 61.96 plus tax 5.42 add the 17.09 for shipping and your total is 74.72. On a good day you might get a discount of about 10 to 17 dollars. 

·         Target

You can now buy Target diapers on the Target website; it wasn’t always like that.  So I am happy to say you can now buy Up & Up diapers and wipes online. I am sad to say that you can’t buy the 3pack refills of target wipes online, and you will have to go on the site every time you want to order diapers and wipes. The wipes you can buy are the car size, 1 pack, and 9 packs of refills and up.  The price for a 9 pack of refills which is 720 wipes is 13.96, because let’s face it you will need more than a car size or a 1 pack. A Target diaper pack of 138 is 25.99 that’s 39.95 the shipping charges are 20.71 plus tax of 5.42 for a grand total of 66.08. Tax differs from state to state.

·         Cost totals.

The honest   79.95

 Pampers     74.72

Target            66.08

Product

Pampers diapers were recalled on May 7, 2010 forgiving babies rash and chemical burns. So now I guess that whatever they use to make the diapers got mixed up or they added too much and well babies were hurt. I can’t found a list of what they put in there diapers, but learning this has pretty much changed my mind about Pampers. There is no reason to risk this happening to your baby. Here is a list of what they use in most diapers; the last three are in pampers diaper. Polyethylene Film, Tissue, Hot Melts, Hydrophobic Non-woven, Elastics, Lateral Tapes, Frontal Tape, Cellulose, petrolatum, stearyl alcohol, and aloe barbadensis leaf extract. I do know that pampers uses other things in there diapers, but not being able to find the correct list just bothers me.

Target diapers are also hard to find a listing on, but I do know this. They have fewer chemicals then must of the diapers out there today. They are chlorine free and latex which is more than must diapers can say.

The honest company I was not surprised by how easy it was to find a list of what is in; this companies diapers. They really have nothing to hide. I just copied and pasted it on here right from the website. Chlorine-free fluff (paper from CERTIFIED sustainably managed forests – no optical brighteners), BIO-core (wheat/corn starch blended with SAP), plant-based PLA (in outer layer, inner layer, & moisture barrier layer), Non-Toxic adhesives (in seams & joints), polymer spandex and polyurethane (in fastening system & leg/waist elastic) & ink (no heavy metals).  They also have a list of what is in the wipes right under the list for the diapers; to some that up its all chemical free.

Companies summery

I think it’s only fare to say that Target and Pampers don’t care as much about what people say about their products. I could write blogs all day about their diapers good and bad and I wouldn’t hear a word out of them. The Honest Company answers every blog written about them, and tries to fix any problem someone might have about the product. Even if it is only one person who said it they fixed. Before I got the try me pack of diapers and wipes I read every blog about The Honest Company (there weren’t that manyJ.) The Honest Company answered everyone and even offered to fix any problems. After I got my try me back I saw were they really fixed things. I remember one lady wrote about how she likes the diapers but the tabs keep coming off, well my tabs were on nice and tight. I also remember someone writing about how they didn’t get the patterns they ask for; I got every pattern I asked for, and none of the patterns I didn’t want. The shipping is fast.

What my kids had to say.

I have a 2 year old and a four year old. My two year old hates being wet and likes to be cute. She likes the diapers because she can tell when she is wet and they are cute. I like them for her because she is potty training and it helps her know when she has to go. The diapers are so absorbent that I can’t tell when she is wet; that’s right no saggy diaper and it feel dry not heavy when you take it off. As you know may already know if is important for a diaper to stay thin when you are two, because your hips are forming to how they will be the rest of your life. No one wants their child to walk like they have been riding horses all day when their 30; so big cheers for staying thin and not leaking. My oldest is 4 and out of diapers she mostly doesn’t even wear them to sleep in. One day after a long hot day of drinking water, milk, and juice to stay cool I decided instead of nighttime training pants to use and Honest Co. diaper. She picked the ice cream diapers and loved them so much (who wouldn’t they are so cute.) When I put the diaper on her the first thing she said was, “O they are so soft.” She was right these diapers are so soft, and she slept in and I was right she needed to wear something that night. Needles to say the diaper didn’t leak, not only did it not leak but it didn’t all big and saggy or fall of. She woke up and said, “Mommy I had an accident, but it’s ok the bed is dry. Can I have another ice cream diaper” I ended up canceling my subscription but still received my one month’s supply of diapers and wipes. When the big eco friendly box came my kids were so happy I couldn’t get to the box to open it. 

Why I canceled.    

I canceled because I am moving, and I had to buy wipes so it’s a waste of money to get wipes I don’t need. When I canceled I asked them when they were going to make it so you can buy one pack of wipes or diapers and not have to get a bundle. I am very happy to say that next week The Honest Company will be launching their new website; where people can buy just one pack of wipes, or just one pack of diaper, or hand soup and nothing else. This makes me excited because my youngest loves their wipes and both of my kids love their diapers. In fact my youngest didn’t like the other brands wipes, but when I use The Honest Companies wipes she lets me change her in peace. Thank you The Honest company for listening to your customers.

What I would like The Honest Company to do.    

I would really, really like it if The Honest Company could start making nighttime training pants for toddlers. My oldest asked me if they make pull ups, because she “Really, Really, really wishes they do.” I told her no not yet but someday they will I hope ;).

Top 5 surprising things you can use Milk for.

It is amazing the things we can do with nature, and over the years people have been using milk do some pretty surprising things. This is a list from the 10 to 1 on the must surprising things you can use milk for. 

5.Younger looking skin! Who doesn't want younger looking skin; as far back as humans go people have always wanted younger skin. It's not that big of a surprise by now, but using milk on you skin can keep it looking younger longer. Even Cleopatra took milk baths and she was known for having wonderful skin. 

• How make a milk bath.

Fill your tube, and add a glass of milk from the refrigerator which is 2 cups of whole milk please. For extra silky skin add 2 Table spoons of Olive. Then soak for how ever long you want to; you will come out with skin as soft as a new born baby. 

4.Prevent and get rid of wrinkles.
 Milk is a wonderful way to improve skin elasticity. You can take milk bath for you body, but what about your face. The skin on you face in ever sensitive. Your face is always exposed to weather, sunlight, and gravity. So it needs a lot of TLC. Here are three ways milk can help you save face.

• Face wash.

Washing your face every morning with milk good be the best thing you can do for. Seeing as you already washed your face with soap before you went to bed; you don't need to dry it out by washing it with soap again. Take 4 table spoons of milk whole milk please, and rub it on your face. Rinse off with cold water and your done.

•  Face mask. 

This is so easy you may wonder why you haven't done it before. Take 2 table spoons of milk and rub it on your face; let dry and rise off. The best part about this is that milk is so good for your skin you can do this when ever you want; without hurting you sensitive facial skin.

• Damaged skin.

Say you have just plucked your eyebrows, gotten waxed, or even threaded. If you do things things then you would know that it can turn you skin red and cause bumps, or even bleeding. No worries you can prevent the bumps, skin red, and even days of swollen skin by adding just a little milk. Soak up milk onto a cotton, paper towel, rag whatever you can find, but do it fast because this works better when applying the milk right after your done. Take the milk soaked cotton an apply to the damaged area let dry and keep applying until you feel better. It is best to leave the milk on all day; you can put make up over it if you have too.

3.Lighten your skin.

This one might seem a little out there, but farmers have been using milk to lighten pig skin for years. Not only does it leave the pigs skin soft, but it almost make their skin lighter. OK so I know what your think OK I am not a pig, but pig skin just so happens to be really close to human skin. The truth is people do it to. So if you have some darkened skin areas, or dark scares maybe for acne here is what to do.

• Lightening.

First I am sorry to say that this works best with milk straight from the cow; now you know why I told you about the pigs. You can use whole milk from the store; it will just take longer. Take the milk and rub it were ever you want to lighten and let it set for a every long time. You can let it sit over night, or apply every hour; rinse with water only do not use soap. You would want to do this everyday until your skin is how you want it. Please let the milk dry before you get into bed, or your bed will start to smell something awful. 

2. Strengthen your nails.
How wonder right! Now you can stop buying all of those expensive nail hardeners. This is easy to do as well.

• Two steps.

Step 1 Drink milk but you know this so lets move on to step two.
Step 2 Take a small bowl and fill it finger tips full of milk. Make sure the milk can cover your fingers at lest up to the first knuckle. Take the bowl and place it in the microwave, and heat the milk until it is warm. You will know if you heat it to much because it will smell or turn to curds. Then after you take your warm sweet smelling milk out of the micro wave soak your nails in it for 5 minute rinse with water after not soap. I suggest doing this everyday, but whenever you have time is good.  

1. Straighten your hair.
Oh yes I just typed that; your eyes did not read it wrong. You can straighten your hair with milk, and it last until you wash your hair again. It is also nasty old milk smell free. 

• Milk straightener

All you need is a whole milk, spray bottle, fine tooth comb, and a wide tooth comb. Pour milk into spray bottle and start to spray and comb the milk through your air with a wide tooth comb. After your hair is milk soaked start to comb with fine tooth comb, and leave milk wash in your hair for 20 minutes. After rinse your hair with cold water, don't scrub your or flip it around, just let the water do the work. Condition you hair the way you always do, and dry hair. Never rub curly hair dry it damages the hair follicles, and really hurt your hair in the long run; it even causes hair lose. Wrap your hair in the towel and let the water soak into the towel you can also softly wring if you really have to, but I don't suggest it. Brush your hair again with the wide and fine tooth comb and let dry; like magic your hair will be straight.

Go, Diego, Go is going to surprise you; as he speaks out against something that could kill your child.

Most of us have heard or seen something about Go, Diego, go. He’s a brave little rescuer saving animals from all around the world; all while teaching children Spanish.  He teaches them to respect nature and animals, and that they can’t touch baby sea turtles. In case you aren’t child or adult who loves his show here is the miracle you missed this week. Diego is now saving humans. There is the name and round down of the wonderful show they had on this week.

• Rhea is an Animal Rescuer

“Diego's practicing his Super Catch when suddenly; he hears a cry for help. Some Cuckoo Birds are making fun of a Rhea because she can't fly. Diego quickly reaches the Rhea and tells him it's okay that he can't fly because there are lots of other cool things Rheas can do - like running super fast! Diego invites Rhea to be an Animal Rescuer for the day and together they set off to rescue a nest of Baby Cuckoo Birds. Along the way, Rhea protects some Rhea eggs from the Pumas, tip-toes up the Slippery Rocks, and finally makes it just in time to catch the Baby Cuckoos as they fall from their nest.” Posted on Nickjr.com

• This review I got off of nickjr.com does not do this episode justice. Here is what really happened. Rhea is a big bird who can fly, and the Cuckoo birds are always making fun of her. The make fun of her because she can’t fly. They make her feel so bad about her, self that Rhea is about to fall/jump off a high cliff to show them she can fly. To make them stop bullying her. Just as she is about to fall to her death Diego stops the Cuckoo bird’s, and saves Rhea’s life. Even after he saves her life Rhea still believes her bullies are right; that she is nothing, not even a bird. So Diego takes her under his wing and makes her an animal rescuer for a day and shows her she is more that meets the eye. Rhea is a wonderful bird, and even though she can’t fly, she is amazing. She even saves her bullies babies from falling to their deaths. Diego explains that making fun is hurtful and that the Cuckoo’s shouldn’t make fun of others.

• Isn’t that amazing! I really like this episode for oh so many reason. First I loved that the bullies were called Cuckoo birds; which is a real bird. You would have to be cuckoo to bully someone to death, which seems to be happening a lot these days. Second he also sees someone who is being bullied and helps them before it’s too late. How many times do you hear someone say I wish someone would have help my kid; would have stop the bullying before it was too late. Way to stand up against bullying Diego. Third his helping didn’t stop there; he made Rhea feel good about what she is again, and showed her she is wonderful in her own way. One of the most important things of all is she didn’t hold a grudge. Even though she almost died, because of her bullies; she came out the bigger animal. She saved the babies of the birds who almost bullied her to death. She did just let the babies died, or kill everyone she could. Talk about forgiveness. Every person in the world should have watched this episode ;). Let’s Go, Diego, Go and stop bullying, and teach real forgiveness.
