Hello Bello Five Word Review:
Whole Foods Taste, WalMart Budget.
Hello Bello (on the left), New and Improved Honest diaper (on the right): which diaper is better?
Kristen Bell + Dax Shepard have a love child, a “premium for all” baby line that is sold exclusively at Wal Mart and on their site for v. reasonable prices (Bubble bath, shampoo and baby lotion all $5.98 each, diapers are $0.32 each for size five). It all sounds familiar…actress goes eco-friendly to create trendy baby products (as a market disruptor, if you will). However, Hello Bello has a much more accessible price point.
Are the new Honest Co. diapers really that much better? YES! But they are still comparable and $0.11 more per diaper than Hello Bello.
#TracisTip: Always SIZE UP for diapers, particularly if your little one is in-between sizes. When a diaper is tighter and right up against their skin, it can make diaper rashes and skin irritation more likely (not to mention blowouts!).
Hello Bello Diapers are the perfect mix of cute, soft, quality, and a great price. They are $0.11 less per diaper than Honest Co.
We have tried so many diapers: Huggies, Pampers, Aden and Anais, Honest Co., Costco, Seventh Generation, and more!
I find it funny when people think they are saving so much on diapers between certain brands (kind of like when people drive WAY out of their way to save on gas prices, when the total difference can be less than $1). In reality, most of the diaper prices are pennies apart*. HOWEVER, the HELLO BELLO diapers are a full 11 cents less (each diaper) than the same size Honest Co. Those savings can really add up if you blow through diapers at the same rate we do ($1 per day for a newborn). I found the Hello Bello Diapers to be the softest diaper on the market and the prints are just as cute as Honest.
Honest has done a total update of their diapers in early 2021 and are now MUCH softer and also have the wetness indicator. I find the new and improved design very comparable to Hello Bello. I am usually at Target more often than Wal Mart, so I have bought the new Honest diapers a few times with their SUPER cute prints.
However, the bottom line is: the new + improved Honest diapers are now VERY similar, but Hello Bello is WAY less expensive. The price breakdown is $0.32 for one size five Hello Bello Diaper and $0.43 for one size five Honest diaper.
We don’t usually go to Wal Mart, but make a special stop to load up on diapers now.
About Shopping at Wal Mart:
Hello Bello took a LOT of heat for exclusively having the only brick-and-mortar place to shop the line being Wal Mart, but Kristen Bell responded to some of the concerned Instagram users, “… I spent a lot of time educating myself on their practices. They do not in fact use child labor and have VERY strict checks and balances to make sure that stays the case. They were one of the first companies to tell all their product manufacturers to use non-toxic dyes in clothing (which were harming workers who dye the clothing) or they wouldn’t sell em. Their buying team is diverse, and representative of all kinds (which surprised and impressed me). And their economy of scale is the only place we could have sold that would give us the economy of scale to make the product with premium, safe, effective ingredients at a price point that all Americans could afford. We believe people shouldn’t have to break the bank to care for children, that’s why we started [the company].”
Overall, I would definitely recommend trying Hello Bello for yourself! I really love the company’s philosophy, ‘premium for all,’ and having all kiddos have access to natural, premium baby products no matter who their parents are or how much money they make.
Hello Bello is $0.11 less per diaper than Honest and very similar quality (softness and includes wetness indicator).
