WHAT IS DIAPER NEED AND WHO DOES IT AFFECT?

• Diaper need is the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to keep a baby or toddler clean, dry and healthy.
• Despite being a basic hygiene item, diapers are not covered by government assistance programs like WIC or SNAP.
• Infants and toddlers typically require 8-12 diaper changes per day, which can cost up to $100 every month.
• Before the pandemic, one in three families in the U.S. struggle with diaper need. We estimate that number has increased due to the economic impacts of COVID-19.
