I purchased these items myself. I was not asked to write, nor was I compensated for this post, and all opinions are my own. You may know this brand as Taylor’s Pure & Natural, Thinc Skin or Balm Baby. Whatever you call them, their Pits deodorant isn’t “the pits.” (ba dum, ching!)
I know that a post like this is likely to come across as judgmental. I want to begin by saying that the purpose of this post is not to condemn anyone for knowingly or unknowingly purchasing infringing diapers, nor to make myself seem superior. I simply want to raise awareness of this issue. The examples I pictured are just diapers that made me say “hmm.” Unfortunately I don’t know how to know for sure whether a diaper is infringing without asking the creator of the diaper possibly being infringed upon. — Editing to add that the reason I entitled this “intellectual property infringement” rather than “patent infringement” is that it goes beyond patented aspects and includes other intellectual property. In my post about cloth diaper co-ops, I briefly mentioned patent infringement as an issue, but this is not limited to co-op cloth diapers. In fact, any reputable retailer will be cautious about carrying diapers that may be infringing, lest they be held liable. I’m aware that this is still an issue for big retailers such as Amazon, and I don’t know what the answer is, other than to contact them to request removal of each diaper & each seller carrying them.

I purchased the pictured item myself. I was not asked to write, nor was I compensated for this post, and all opinions are my own. I seriously dig esbaby. I reviewed esbaby AI2 diapers in 2012, purchased a custom dress for my daughter last year, and have been drooling over everything she posts on Facebook.
Although this didn’t turn out quite like I’d hoped, I wanted to share it anyway. As usual, this is a highly unscientific experiment with plenty of flaws!
