Is Lil Helper Organic? PFA Free? Sustainable?

When it comes to products that touch sensitive skin or handle everyday messes, safety and durability matter. Our range includes waterproof blankets, reusable menstrual pads, wet bags, snack bags, and more. Every product is designed to bring comfort, convenience, and dignity to life’s messiest moments while keeping safety and sustainability top of mind.

Prioritizing Safe Materials

All of our materials are OEKO-TEX certified, ensuring they’re free from harmful substances like PFA, PFOA, BPA, parabens, formaldehyde, lead, and phthalates. Snack bags are also food-grade, giving extra peace of mind when they come into contact with food. Safety isn’t just a label—it’s a standard we uphold across every product we create.

Organic or Not?

Many people equate eco-friendly with 100% natural fibers. While bamboo and cotton are included for their softness and absorbency, these fibers are blended with polyester to enhance durability and usability. This mix ensures products remain effective longer, resist wear and tear, and stay practical for everyday use. Pure natural fibers, though organic, often require repeated washing to reach full absorbency and break down faster over time. By balancing natural fibers with durable synthetics, items maintain comfort and functionality without sacrificing longevity.

This approach has been proven over more than a decade of product development. Many original cloth diapers are still in use today, with families successfully passing them down to younger siblings—or even to another family—long after children have outgrown them.

Sustainability Through Durability

Sustainability isn’t only about materials—it’s about making products that last. By designing items that stand up to repeated use, we reduce waste and the need for frequent replacements. From our waterproof blankets to reusable pads, durability is a cornerstone of sustainable living, helping you make eco-conscious choices without compromise.

Bonus Eco Win: Some of our products, including HyPs Pads, Combo Bags and Snack Bags, are made using recycled plastics, adding another layer of environmental responsibility to our design.
