Kudos Chlorine Free Cotton-Lined Disposable Diapers - Size 5 - 44ct: Absorbent Layers, Elastic Stretch Sides

A: agreed, and there's a bit of a smell to them. i hope they go back to the previous version

A: Ordered from the Kudos website and got the following response after noticing the difference and writing to them. I think on the blog post it says they’re made in Mexico now. Either they exited already or are getting ready for one… I’d like to update my review to state they smell awful now with pee but Target won’t let me. Thank you so much for reaching out and for sharing this honest feedback! We recently updated our diaper model and shared an announcement with subscribers, but it sounds like we may have missed you. I apologize for the surprise of receiving something different than what you were expecting. The updated design includes a few key changes based on parent feedback – adjustments to the fit, the addition of comfort tabs for a more secure hold, snugger leg cuffs to help with leak protection, and a slightly updated size range. These updates were all intended to improve overall performance, all while keeping everything that makes Kudos, Kudos – 100% U.S.-sourced cotton liners, Total Chlorine Free (TCF) wood pulp, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, and our patented DoubleDry absorbency technology. You can learn more about these updates on our blog: https://mykudos.com/blogs/news/diaper-upgrades Thank you again for taking the time to bring this to our attention. We truly value this kind of transparent feedback from families who have gotten a chance to try out the updates! Best regards, Chezel

A: I would love to know the answer here. I agree the front now is more narrow and tabs don’t wrap around to meet the back like the old ones. Which is super disappointing because now our baby has more leaks, and I’m switching back to Millie Moons, which is a shame because I liked the Kudos product a ton being USA made & cotton. :( I have compared them to previous bulk pack from October 2025 and it’s significantly smaller, same size diapers, but newer ones lacking a lot of material on the front / around tabs. Can confirm what you are reporting! I second it! Why did the brand alter the design?

A: They did say they were changing their diapers and it's so unfortunate because these feel so rough and cheap!

A: From my kudos email: Are the Kudos diapers at Target the same as the diapers available on your website? The Kudos diapers available at Target will be the new, enhanced, made in the USA, white diapers we announced last week. You can learn more about the enhancements here! https://mykudos.com/blogs/news/rolling-out-an-enhanced-kudos-diaper?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=60%20Years%20Late%20%2801J1G7Q15WGEQSHB267CT7VFZ0%29&_kx=1LLHLF4khfr_3ZwNcsbZnUPwz9FK231B32rtz8xCIE-SrEPAwbHhdcFZ1lHNmpmn.HzsbM2

A: I believe it's because this is their "enhanced" diaper that they just announced a few days ago -- so these ones should accommodate larger sizing.

A: Hi! As the community has pointed out, the Kudos diapers available at Target are indeed our new enhanced made in the USA diapers. Based off of feedback from our customers, these diapers are slightly longer and wider than our traditional Kudos diapers, which is why you see the size discrepancy. They still feature the same 100% cotton-lining, OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification, TCF-free pulp, and DoubleDry protection that our customers love and expect from us!

A: Yes they do have a blowout barrier

A: I have 40+ years of experience using cloth and disposable diapers. Their is no diaper on planet earth that protect against blowouts.

A: Hi Jenn -- No separate blowout barrier, but rest-assured our diapers are expertly engineered (by our founder and MIT-trained engineer!) to provide high coverage in the back and protect against blowouts! All Kudos diapers also feature our patent-pending DoubleDry absorbency tech, with 2x the absorbency layers compared to traditional diapers.

A: Hi there! Our cotton, TruCotton, is 100% natural and cleaned using a unique dry process with no water, chemicals, or heat involved. It’s third-party certified to the strict OEKO-TEX Standard 100 standards, ensuring it’s free from harmful substances like glyphosates. Thanks for asking!

A: Hi Kelsye! That’s just our cotton showing off how natural it is. Most cotton has these dark particles but it is typically bleached so you can’t see those specs. It’s perfectly safe for babies – in fact when you don’t see the little black specs on products that are made from cotton, that means it has undergone harsher processing.

A: Thank you so much for your question. We are on a mission to get as much plastic out of the disposable diaper as possible, and opt for plant-based ingredients — like our 100% cotton liner — instead of plastic whenever we can. That being said, no disposable diaper is fully biodegradable. As noted on our website, we do use a biodegradability enhancer on our outer cover to help speed up the breakdown of that outer cover when a diaper is disposed of. The biodegradability enhancer uses an enzyme mediated biodegradation process that starts when the product comes into contact with microorganisms. We'd be happy to dive into any further questions if you email us at hello@mykudos.com!

A: Hi there - All reviews are managed through Target, and we don't remove any reviews. We recommend reaching out to Target directly, and we are always here to help with any diaper and wipes specific questions at hello@mykudos.com!

A: Hi Mikey - In our transition to move all manufacturing to the U.S., we did experience isolated issues with the tabs and adhesives in a small number of our first batch of diapers. Those have since been resolved. We’d love to talk with you directly to address any more questions or specific concerns at hello@mykudos.com
