Why These Diapers Are My Ultimate Travel Carry-On Essential
In a few weeks, Dash and I are flying to London with our sweet 6-month-old, Mika, so she can finally meet my parents for the very first time. We’ve been counting down the days, imagining the moment they hold her and she smiles one of her huge smiles. But between that dream moment and now? There’s so much to prepare and pack. I am so not looking forward to an international flight… with an infant.
I can just see it: wrestling Mika and our overstuffed carry-ons through security, diaper changes in a teeny airplane bathroom, and mid-bottle turbulence. My biggest anxiety? The blowout. On the ground, it’s a pain, sure. But at 36,000 feet? What a nightmare.
Normally, I’d be a big ball of stress, but a friend of mine who’s constantly jetsetting with her little one recommended Coterie diapers as her #1 travel essential. I thought she was exaggerating until I tried them. They’re made with medical-grade materials that absorb 10x their weight in liquid, so they soak up liquid in seconds. Sweet Mika stays dry for hours and sleeps through the night when she wears them. So, if Coterie can get us through a full night at home, I’m confident we’ll last through that red-eye, transatlantic flight.
Coterie’s cloud-soft diapers are gentle on baby Mika’s sensitive skin and easily the softest I’ve ever used. The breathable top sheet and quick-wicking design keep her comfy. And the wetness indicator turns from yellow to blue, so I’ll know exactly when to change her without unzipping her sleeper every ten minutes mid-flight. Side cuffs help prevent leaks while still letting her skin breathe, so I can focus on keeping her happy instead of changing her outfit every 2 hours.
I feel so good about what’s actually in the diaper. Coterie’s hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested design is made with premium, eco-friendly materials — 25% are plant-based — and free from chlorine, parabens, lotions, phthalates, heavy metals, and other harmful chemicals you’ll often find in big-brand diapers. It’s exactly what I want for Mika’s skin, especially while traveling when her routine’s already out of sync.
After our first pack, I subscribed on the Coterie website so our diapering essentials arrive right at our door. I save 10% each month and can tweak delivery times or add supplies by text, so we’re more than ready for our big trip to England.
And because there are always messes these days, I’ll toss a pack of Coterie Baby Travel Wipes in my carry-on. Supremely soft, made with 100% plant-based fibers and 99% purified water, they’re thicker and larger than other wipes I’ve tried. They’re terrific for quick changes, sticky fingers, and milk spills. Quick Mom Tip: I use our Coterie travel wipes on the plane with the dry air. My skin stays hydrated and smooth. Great makeup wipes!
Coterie’s high-performance diapering essentials support babies through every stage and milestone — like Mika’s first big adventure. She’ll be comfy and dry, so Dash and I can sweep into my parents’ home and introduce them to their smiling, bright-eyed granddaughter.
From road trips to red-eye flights, Coterie makes family travel a whole lot easier.
