Thirsties- Proudly Made in USA

Kelly's Closet is proud to offer diapers that are made in USA. Diapers made in the United States help support our local economies as well as help to promote job growth throughout the country. After being made in USA, diapers are shipped all over the country and, sometimes, the world to accommodate the cloth diapering needs of parents and babies.

Thirsties
One brand that produces made in USA diapers is Thirsties. Thirsties was developed by Erin Kimmett. Established in Canon City, Colorado, Thirsties has become one of the largest suppliers of made in USA diapers.

All of the cloth diapers produced by Thirsties brand diapers are designed and manufactured in Colorado. The women who produce Thirsties brand diapers are so dedicated to boosting the United States economy that they only use American made products in the manufacturing process of each and every Thirsties diaper. Every button, strip of Velcro, scrap of fabric or strand of thread used to put together a Thirsties cloth diaper is made in USA. Diapers are produced with careful consideration that all components be not only made in the United States, but that they are made from the very best fabrics and other materials.

The women at Thirsties feel that by purchasing only American made products to produce their diapers that they are doing their part to support the economy within the United States. They have also opened up positions in their area and have created a small job market for people in the Colorado area.

Aiding the Economy and Environment
When parents purchase made in the USA diapers, they are helping to further the progression of the United States economy as well as support the “green” movement. Disposable diapers can last more than 600,000 years in a landfill and create waste that flows into our oceans and other water systems. Parents help support the concept of reduce, reuse, recycle when they use cloth diapers. Each cloth diaper can be reused over and over in order to help reduce the total amount of disposable diapers that make it into landfills each year. Washing and recycling cloth diapers helps to protect our environment and to keep our planet “green.”

The creators of Thirsties cloth diapers are firm supporters of the green movement. There goal is to become one of the first Carbon Neutral manufactures of diapers made in USA. Diapers are now stored in a 4,000 square foot historic warehouse in Canon City, Colorado. Solar panels have been installed with full capacity configuration in order to help reduce CO2 emissions during the production process of their Thirsties made in USA diapers.

Product Focus: Thirsties Duo Wraps

NEW! Thirsties Duo Wraps Save Money!

Thirsties, a Colorado owned and operated, 100% USA made cloth diaper company recently released the new Duo line of diaper covers. What’s so great about these new wraps, you ask? Lots!

The new Duo Wraps offer the same foolproof fit and ease of use as the Thirsties original diaper covers with one new feature that is sure to please: they’re adjustable. “They make sizing up a whole lot easier,” Nicole Hanson, mother of one says. “I only need two sizes to fit my daughter from birth to potty training and that really saves me a lot of money, without compromising on the fit.”

In these times of belt-tightening and fat-trimming it’s nice to hear that there is now an offshoot that saves even more money on a product that already saves new parents thousands of dollars every year. The new Duo line from Thirsties is definitely something worth checking into.

About the Inventor...

Erin Kimmett, owner and designer of Thirsties, became infatuated with the sewing machine and all its wonders beginning at a very young age. Her grandmother, Pearl McBride, was a truly gifted craftswoman and eventually become a local celebrity in her artful expressions. Pearl's father passed away when she was just a baby leaving she and her mother to fend for themselves in a poverty-stricken tenement of New York City. Pearl was taught to sew professionally alongside learning her ABCs and tying her shoes. Though Pearl was only a child, she and her mother worked tirelessly together as sewers for a large clothing manufacturing company to try and make ends meet. Despite the fact that she was forced to sew in lieu of a formal education in order to keep bread on the table for herself, Pearl was enamored with the needle and thread and all the limitless possibilities of creativity it provided. As an adult, she continued to sew for both hobby and profession. Never was she seen without a needle and thread in her hand. In due time, she graciously passed along her gift and her unquenchable thirst for creativity and sewing to her granddaughter, Erin Kimmett.

Pearl has since passed, but her love for sewing is still expressed in Thirsties cloth diapers today. As a new cloth diapering mom herself, Erin Kimmett, couldn’t find a diaper cover that quite suited the needs of her baby, and therefore set out to create her own design of waterproof wraps. The first covers were patterned, cut, and sewn on her dining room table and went through several tweaks over the course of 18 months before they were finally released! It was a painstaking process, but all the hard work and innovation paid off and resulted in the best selling diaper cover on the market today.
