HIRO Diapers

HIRO Diapers are the world’s first truly naturally degradable, high-performing diapers — soft on skin, tough on leaks, and powered by plastic-eating fungi to return to the Earth.

Easy Elimination Communication (EasyEC™) is our simplified, modern take on ‘elimination communication’ - a gentle practice that helps parents tune into their baby’s natural signals and offer the potty at the right times.

Yes we’re a diaper company, but we’re not here to sell you more diapers, our mission is to help solve the global plastic crisis, so if we can help you get your baby out of diapers sooner, its a win! Every HIRO Diaper purchased helps fund critical research in solving the plastic crisis, and we are doing it in an unconventional way.

Did you know?

Before 1950 when disposable diapers came onto the market, most babies were potty trained by the time they were 12-18 months. Since then, that number has kept rising to the point where it is now 3 to even 5+ years!

And the worst part, this wasn’t accidental. Big diaper companies wanted to grow their market share, and what better way than to convince parents their product was needed longer?

NOT AT HIRO

We view disposables as a necessary convenience for modern parenting. But we also believe in helping parents get back to the basics and increasing connection to baby’s natural instincts.

Reducing waste and building better baby connection

That’s why with EasyEC™ you can still rely on the convenience of a diaper, but you add on an opportunity to go potty with every diaper change. You start to build a better relationship with your baby around their needs and help them start to learn about their body.

This lets baby know they have a better option, and over time more and more of the messy business will go into the potty and less and less will go into the diaper, leading to fewer diapers and a baby who is naturally potty trained (no more poop phobia...).

FAQ

Do I have to stop using diapers to practice EasyEC?

Not at all! EasyEC is designed to work with diapers, especially HIRO Diapers. You’re simply offering a potty before or during changes. Think of it as a gentle bridge, not a scary jump.

Will it mess up traditional potty training later?

Not at all. In fact, most EC-practicing babies show potty independence earlier, because they’re already used to the idea that they can go somewhere other than their diaper.

When is the best time to start?

You can start as early as birth, but many parents begin around 3–6 months. The best time is when you’re curious and ready to try something new, even once a day.

Isn’t this messy?

Not really. Because you’re catching pee/poop before it happens in the diaper, you often end up with less mess overall. And cleaning a small potty takes less time than changing a blowout.

What kind of potty should I use?

A small baby potty works great for early stages. Place it near your diaper station for easy use. Bonus if your baby can see themselves in a mirror while using it!

Is this just for crunchy parents?

No! HIRO believes this is the future of diapering: clean, connected, and planet-smart. It’s for any parent who wants a better way without adding more to their plate.

Won’t this just make things harder?

Surprisingly, it usually makes diapering easier. You may deal with fewer blowouts, cleaner cleanups, and fewer changes overall. It’s one more way to work with your baby, not just clean up after them.

Does this help reduce diaper waste?

Yes of course! That’s part of the magic. Even catching one pee a day adds up to dozens fewer diapers a month. That’s good for your baby, your wallet, and the planet.

Do I need to practice EasyEC™ consistently?

No! Even practicing EasyEC once or twice a day makes a difference. Some parents only do it in the morning and before bed, others do it full-time. Think of it as flexible—you can start small, stay consistent when it works for your family, and still see benefits.

Is EasyEC™ only for newborns?

Not at all. While many parents start in infancy, you can begin EasyEC at any age—even with toddlers. It’s about building awareness, reducing diapers, and strengthening your connection, no matter when you start.

Will my baby really get out of diapers sooner?

Yes! Most families who practice EasyEC™ notice their baby needs fewer diapers and gets out of diapers much sooner than average. Every child is different, but elimination communication builds natural potty awareness earlier and makes the transition smoother.

Is EasyEC™ the same as potty training?

Not exactly. Potty training usually happens later, when toddlers are “trained” to switch from diapers to the toilet. EasyEC™ is different - it’s about noticing your baby’s natural rhythms and offering the potty along the way. Think of it as laying the groundwork so potty training isn’t a big dramatic event later. Most families find that when they’ve practiced elimination communication, potty training becomes way easier - more of a smooth transition than a battle of wills.
