A very smart cookie.

And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bostic are bringing you along for the ride.

Get ready for some major realness.

Welcome to the skinny confidential, him and her.

Do you know how many times the day that we use your products?

All day long.

I mean, pretty much all day.

My daughter has now resorted to wipe, and I have to say, what's the magic word? So now it's wipe, please. They don't even use, like, napkins anymore. Like, they'll make a huge mess on they're eating. They're just be like, wipe. And I'm like, and then they get the white. But you know it's going to be safe and clean and cleansing and do what it's supposed to do and not break. And that's the trust that you should have in all the products that you're using. It's actually way easier from my perspective and what do I know than the paper towel because you can reuse it over. That paper towel is flimsy. It gives up on me after one wife. You know what I mean? Right. So these kids, they can just have the wipe the whole time when they're eating. 100%. Well, I have a story about why we switched to your wipes. So I went and got my blood tested and it came back super high in triclosin. And the doctor was like, what are you using that has this much triclosin? And so my soap's non-toxic, my body wash is non-toxic, the toothpaste I use is non-toxic. And that's where triclosin's normally found.

Yep. So I went on this whole exploration to figure out where I was getting this triclosin from.

Turns out one of the most popular white brands has a derivative of triclosin in it that they don't disclose on the label.

Very common in whites and diapers. We couldn't figure it out. And, you know, like if you're familiar, if the audience is familiar with the show, but if you're familiar with us, like we try to live as clean as possible. And so we couldn't, we're like, where could this be coming from? So after I went on a deep dive and found that this brand had triclosin and I was using it every day all day long to wipe my babies on their most intimate areas, I was like, I need to find a brand that is what they say they are. So that's when I was introduced to your brand. We switched to your diapers and we're big fan. I'm so happy to hear that. I'm so happy

you did. And I wish there was a greater industry standard, honestly, across the board for safety

and clean ingredients and also publishing those testing results as well, there isn't.

And that's kind of where coterie came from, honestly.

Coterie started because we believe that the status quo in the diapering industry

wasn't good enough.

The diaper industry is not closely regulated, which is really scary and really surprising. It was for me because

when you become a mom, you realize firsthand that diaper is touching your baby's skin 24-7.
