The Premium Diaper Showdown
Between my demanding work responsibilities and over-scheduled social life, never did I think I’d be that mom who obsesses over baby products, but here I am obsessing over diapers 😬 Why? Because they actually make a big difference in ensuring my son can keep up with our busy life! So here we go… it’s time for the premium diaper showdown. I selected 2 brands that claim to be luxurious to put to the test.
TLDR: Millie Moon wins on cost, but can’t compete with the premium qualities of Coterie.

Criteria 1: Absorbency
Quick note on this criteria: High absorbency means no leakage, no blowouts, no diaper rash, and a full night’s sleep. To test this feature, I poured water on each diaper brand, then felt how dry it was after 30 seconds.
COTERIE
Coterie says its diapers wick moisture away from baby’s skin in less than 16 seconds versus the industry average of 30 seconds. Like magic, this diaper felt incredibly dry despite pouring water on it! And this is a fact: my baby who mostly has been in Coterie his whole life only has had a diaper rash a couple of times and I’d equate that to him staying nice and dry under that diaper of his. 5/5
MILLIE MOON
Millie Moon says its diapers are built with absorption technology that offers up to 12 hours of protection. Upon testing, these seem to perform the same, or maybe slightly better than your average diaper. 3/5
ABSORBENCY WINNER: COTERIE
Criteria 2: Softness
COTERIE
OMG these are so soft! They feel like actual cloth, not crunchy disposable diaper materials. This is the #1 reason we’ve stuck with the brand time and time again – seriously you just need to feel them for yourself. 5/5
MILLIE MOON
Okay these diapers are soft, much better than your average drug store brand, but they still have some of that plasticy diaper feel to them. It kind of sounds like multiple layers of tissue paper crinkling between your fingers. 4/5
SOFTNESS WINNER: COTERIE

Criteria 4: Eco-friendly
Did you know that no diaper is fully compostable, 100% biodegradable or truly eco friendly? Synthetic materials are required for a diaper to function properly.
COTERIE
Coterie diapers are made with wood pulp sourced from sustainably managed forests and has invested a portion of proceeds to accelerate the transition to truly sustainable diapering solutions for all. Coterie also takes part in a Carbon Offsets program, and each time you make a purchase you’ll see in your cart a CO2 Offset added for free. Coterie is thinking about the environment and planning for a sustainable diaper future. 3/5
MILLIE MOON
Millie Moon sadly doesn’t seem to really care about being eco-friendly. There is little detail on the sustainability of its diapers, other than a mention of being built with sustainably sourced pulp. 1/5
Eco-friendly WINNER: COTERIE
Criteria 5: Cost
COTERIE
198 diapers for $85 on monthly subscription for size 1 (8-12lb baby) = $0.43 each
