8 Simple Ways to Get Totally Free Baby Diapers
We’ve heard your average baby goes through six to 10 diapers a day, and 2,500 to 3,000 diapers in their first year alone. By the time your kid is finally potty-trained, you’ll have spent thousands on thousands of diapers.
That’s a huge expense on a family, so we’ve put together a resource to help you out.
How to Get Free Diapers
Don’t break the bank on this baby necessity. Here are a few ways to get free diapers.
1. Take Advantage of Free Samples
Believe it or not, there are a ton of companies that will send you free diapers just for trying out their brand. It’s not a long-term savings strategy, but you can definitely get enough samples to last you for a week or so. Every little bit helps!
- Grove Collaborative – You pay the shipping and they’ll send you a couple of trial diapers and wipes.
- Simply Right – It seems to vary, but they sent us five diapers.
2. Sign up for a Loyalty Program
Diaper companies know once you’ve started with their brand, you’re likely to continue using it. That’s why they offer rewards programs and why you should take advantage of these deals.
One of the highest-rated diaper-loyalty programs is Huggies Rewards. When you buy Huggies diapers or wipes, pull up the app on your phone and snap a photo of your receipt. Get points that you can redeem for diapers, toys, gift cards and more, starting with 500 points just for signing up!
3. Check Out a Diaper Bank Network
If things are really tough, check out the National Diaper Bank Network. The non-profit network is aimed at assisting low-income families and they’ve started local chapters all over the country.
As you probably know, food stamps and WIC do not provide diapers, so this is a wonderful alternative to those who need assistance.
4. Take Surveys Online
Arguably one of the cheapest places to get diapers is at Amazon, so here’s a tip on how to get a free Amazon gift card: Join Swagbucks.
The rewards platforms offers a wide variety of ways to make extra cash beyond taking surveys for money. It’s also famous for handing out free points (called SBs) at random just for being a member.
It’s free to sign up, and you’ll get a $5 bonus when you earn 2,500 SB within your first 60 days. For more information, see our beginner’s guide.
You can redeem your SBs for cash via Paypal or gift cards to a number of popular retailers, including Amazon.

5. Use Cloth Diapers
A lot of parents have found that using washable cloth diapers can be a great way to save on diapers.
Financial blogger Courtney Baker recently did the math and found that a family with three kids could save over $2,500 by switching to cloth diapers!
6. Become a Diaper Ambassador
If you can convince other moms to start buying their diapers online, the folks over at Diapers.com will pay you!
They have a pretty lucrative referral program where you can earn $5 in diaper credit for every mom you refer to the site. Here’s a link to their referral program.
