That's was initially my choice, but wife told me "a woman with STD will not be putting a diaper on my kid's ass". Then I looked up she was referring to Jessica Alba (the owner)
The net is full of terrible reviews but the whole company marketing scheme was based on pure fear mongering. They tried to argue that other diapers are dangerous for your baby. Then when that unsubstantiated fake news got popular, Honest deleted off the website related to it and redirected everyone to their home page. Slimy.

What exactly does STD status have to do with any of the rest of this?

Its a branding thing. Would you buy a childcare services from Jeffrey Epstein? Or give your investment money to Elizabeth Holmes?

How much is the subscription fee to get Jessica Alba to put a diaper on your child?

Yes and I recall a lawsuit, or something, about Honest being ironically dishonest about the “organic” things they offer. But I’m not willing to fight over this one, so unless they cause a real problem it’s probably going to stay that way.
