Tired of the 'diaper runaround' midnight store runs for diapers, frustrated searches for the right diaper size, wasted time waiting in store lines and traffic, they knew there must be a better way. Turning to the convenience of the Internet for help, they were astonished with the lack of online diaper sources. Diapers.com was quickly born, initially offering the most popular name-brand diapers, wipes and formula and then adding almost any baby product you can think of, from bottles and baby food, to shampoo and rash ointment, and now gear and nursery furniture! In just a few months, Diapers.com spurred a major 'change' in the way parents buy diapers. The company continues to grow exponentially, thanks to an ever-expanding brigade of over 500,000 happy moms and dads who cheerfully spread the word on where to find 'the best deal on diapers and more.'
