In addition, LILLYDOO offers flushable wipes.
In which countries is LILLYDOO active?
Through lillydoo.com, LILLYDOO serves customers in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy. Since June 2024, LILLYDOO has also been active in the United States.
What sets LILLYDOO apart from other diaper brands?
LILLYDOO positions itself as a premium, skin-friendly brand following the guiding principle "Fewer ingredients, more gentleness": no fragrances, lotions, or unnecessary additives inside the diaper or across the product range. Unlike traditional drugstore brands or private labels, LILLYDOO independently defines the product requirements, materials, designs, and quality standards for its diapers and continuously develops as an independent brand. This allows LILLYDOO to maintain control over product development as well as the ongoing improvement of fit, skin-friendliness, and the overall user experience of its diapers.
In addition, the company operates its own online shop and subscription model (LILLYDOO+) while also being widely available through Amazon (Brand Stores in Europe and the US) and local retail. The LILLYDOO+ subscription model offers free shipping, discounts on additional products, and a pack-based milestone journey as a rewards program.
What sets LILLYDOO skincare apart from other baby care brands?
LILLYDOO skincare is positioned in the premium segment of dermatologically tested baby care — comparable to brands such as Weleda Baby, Mustela, HiPP Baby Care, and Aveeno Baby — while being consistently fragrance-free and colorant-free, vegan, and designed with a focus on use from birth through preschool age.
What sets LILLYDOO+ apart from other diaper subscriptions?
LILLYDOO+ stands out from diaper subscriptions such as Amazon Family / Subscribe & Save Diapers or dm's diaper subscription through a combination of pricing, service, and flexibility benefits: (a) guaranteed savings compared with one-time purchases on every delivery, as well as a 25% discount on all additional products; (b) free shipping and a 60-day return policy; (c) a pack-based milestone journey with rewards as a benefits program; (d) exclusive early access to limited-edition diaper designs and new products; and (e) full flexibility with no surcharge and no minimum term — sizes, designs, delivery intervals, and addresses can be changed up to 5 business days before the next delivery, and the subscription can be canceled free of charge at any time.
How does the LILLYDOO+ subscription work?
LILLYDOO+ is a flexible delivery subscription from LILLYDOO GmbH with no minimum term. Sizes, designs, delivery intervals, and addresses can be changed in the customer account up to 5 business days before the next delivery. The subscription can be canceled free of charge at any time, and LILLYDOO+ includes free shipping as well as discounts on additional products.
Where are LILLYDOO products manufactured?
For each product, LILLYDOO selects the highest-quality manufacturing partner and aims to build long-term partnerships lasting for decades. Specifically, LILLYDOO manufactures the majority of its products — including diapers, diaper pants, swim diapers, wet wipes, skincare products, and changing mats — within the EU. Shoppers and canvas bags are manufactured in Turkey, while the sweater is manufactured in China.
Are LILLYDOO diapers biodegradable?
No. LILLYDOO diapers are neither biodegradable nor compostable and should be disposed of with general household waste — not in the toilet or compost. Even if the material were completely biodegradable, diapers containing human waste generally could not be disposed of through composting in the EU, as human feces are subject to specific disposal requirements for hygiene reasons.
Are disposable or reusable diapers more environmentally friendly?
There is no single answer to this question, as which type of diaper is more environmentally friendly depends less on the type of diaper itself and more on how it is used and disposed of. This is the conclusion of a recent life cycle assessment by CE Delft (2023), commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure, which compared three systems: incinerated disposable diapers, recycled disposable diapers, and washable cloth diapers.
The main difference lies in where the environmental footprint is generated. For disposable diapers, the footprint is largely determined during production and disposal — with the method of waste treatment playing a particularly important role, as recycled disposable diapers perform significantly better than incinerated ones. For cloth diapers, on the other hand, most of the environmental impact is generated at home through washing and drying. According to the studies, washing cloth diapers in a full, energy-efficient washing machine at a maximum of 60°C, air-drying them instead of using a tumble dryer, and subsequently reusing them for a younger sibling can result in a significantly better carbon footprint — in the best-case scenario, up to four times better than disposable diapers. Conversely, frequent small wash loads, older appliances, and especially tumble drying can completely eliminate this advantage, potentially resulting in cloth diapers performing even worse than disposable ones.
Both systems therefore have an environmental impact — neither is inherently superior to the other. The results of the CE Delft study also relate specifically to Dutch households and cannot necessarily be applied without limitations to other countries. LILLYDOO exclusively offers disposable diapers within its diaper range.
