I have not been very active on this site lately- I apologize for that. Being almost 8 months pregnant, dealing with COVID-19 restrictions, the recent reminders of how far we have yet to go in our country to bring change and equality for the black community, and an unexpected tragedy in my family have really diminished my emotional capacity to engage with the online world.
However, I know many people are wondering how they can be part of the change needed to bring about equality.
I am not going to pretend to be an expert on how to do this, and there are many other resources that you can turn to for a thorough “How To”. But I can share with you one way that pertains directly to cloth diapers- do more of your diaper shopping at black-owned businesses.
Here is a list of some black-owned cloth diaper businesses for your reference. Note: None of these links are affiliate links. I do not receive any commissions from your purchases. Rest assured that I am just creating a resource for people who are interested.
Note #2: This is not an exhaustive list by any means. These are just the businesses that I am aware of at this time. I apologize for any errors or businesses that get left out. I will be updating as I learn more.

Link them in the comments, or send me a message (holly@rockingthecloth.com) so I can add them to the list.
Thanks so much for sharing! Also 8mos pregnant (with my 1st).
Been overwhelmed w/ the registry and diapering options, and your reviews have been wonderful. Appreciate your mindfulness of sustainable materials, ethical mfg, and now Black owned businesses!
Working my way through the list. Crunchy Boutique has their own diaper line, including some organic cotton AIOs!!
These additional options are awesome.
FYI the other big Made in USA brands are mostly sold out due to COVID.
Stay safe and healthy!
Thanks Kara! 🙂 I’m excited to pick up some new diapers from these shops, too!
Please consider removing Cocoa Cheeks. They have unethical business practices, their diapers fall apart and shrink after one wash, they harass their customers, refuse refunds or exchanges on unusable products, and continue to scam Black women who want to support her because of the nice prints. She has been reported to the IRS and the BBB. Before rebranding to Cocoa Cheeks she had a different company called SnugaBums, she rebranded due to the same issues but never fixed the problem.
Hello RaeAndra– thank you for letting me know, I’m going to check into this!

Thank you!
RaeAndrea’s claims are totally unfounded defaming both the brand and owner. I have purchased from this company since it’s inception and have never had any issues with fit, quality or customer service. Infact, we used their diapers with 3 children over the course of 4 years. The Brand Snugabums was not to rebrand. Both brands are alive and well as separate entities. Cocoa Cheeks is the sister company only because of it’s cultural focus on the genius of color and prints dedicated to honoring them. Snugabums has never had any negative publicity and the slander that’s come to Cocoa Cheeks seems to be largely due to disgruntled customers and their friends making false allegations in an effort to discredit the brand. I was in a group and witnessed firsthand a mob of attacks and relentless bullies. It was so SAD. It got so bad that the admins had to band several bullies for slandering this company, promoting what the admins found to be false accusations and creating drama in the group.
Again myself, and several other momma have nothing but praises for Cocoa Cheeks and we are glad to finally have a brad to fill the space of honoring the men and women that have made such an impressive, important impact on our world but are sadly forgotten. Cocoa Cheeks shines the light on them and we love them for it and for the quality and customer service!!!
