Myra Meche and Emily Viator are a mother and daughter team that is the successful driving force behind Mommy's Touch LLC.  In May of 2004, Emily Viator started her small on-line business of selling cloth diapers and other natural parenting items made by other manufacturers. In 2005 she began the thoughts of starting her own cloth diaper line. This was after she had been using cloth diapers on her two daughters who are two and a half years apart.  She found out quickly with two children in diapers that she was in need of a true one size diaper, which she could use.  She wanted a diaper that she could use on her youngest daughter as well as on her toddler so that more than one size diaper would not be needed, saving both time and money.

After much research and many pattern revisions she finally designed the Mommy's Touch Easy Clean Diaper.  She talked with her mother Myra Meche about starting a small manufacturing business since several other online businesses were showing interest in carrying her product.  Myra believing in her daughters dream became the Co-Owner and investor in Mommy's Touch LLC.  In December of 2005 she flew to Los Angeles CA to meet with a professional seamstress who did contract work.  While there the word got out about the coming diaper and soon inquiries were pouring in for samples from many retailers around the country.  By January orders were coming in and the first shipments went out in February 2006.  Since then Mommy's Touch has been growing rapidly.

Mommy's Touch is proud to say they employ contract seamstresses for the production of their product who work from home while caring for their families.  As demand increases they hope to continue this type of manufacturing allowing more and more mothers to stay home while supplementing the family income.

Mommy's Touch Product Information:

All Mommy's Touch Products use only the best materials.  Their philosophy is that a diaper has to work first and foremost before you can consider looks.  With that in mind they designed a diaper that functions and have also added those things that make the diaper more fashionable.

Snaps:  The first upgrade for fashion was the addition of color matched snaps on their diapers.  While all the other large producers on the market use just white, Emily felt this was an area that could be changed for the better.  So they had snaps dyed to match all of the colors they carry.  Now Mommy's Touch is the only mass produced Diaper with colored snaps on the market.

Prints:  Emily searched constantly for months for a source of print fabrics.  She did not want to be like other manufacturers and use treated cotton fabrics for her prints.  Treatments on fabrics wear off after just a few washes, and you are left with a diaper that the consumer either has to try to waterproof themselves or a diaper that will leak very quickly since cotton wicks the moisture from the inside.  Another reason she did not want to use cotton for her prints although it is readily available, is that it stains much easier than Polyester and wears very quickly with daily washing.  Finally Mommy's Touch has found a supplier to supply them with all of the prints they need on the high quality fabrics that they know works best.  The prints were released in October 2006.

Reasons Mommy's Touch is better:

Environmental: In our society today it seems as though there is a movement to make everything we use disposable so that it is more "convenient".  We have disposable plates, cups, silverware, napkins, towels, bibs, gloves, washcloths, diapers, wipes, and list goes on.  The downside of this is that our landfills are growing at unprecedented speed.  Where as people used to purchase things that lasted and when they tired of them many times they passed them on to the poor of society, now we just throw everything away.  We at Mommy's Touch feel that using cloth can not only help our environment by putting less waste in the landfills but we can also help others by passing down to those who can not afford to purchase themselves,  which in turn prevents even more waste.   A study in the UK by the Women's Environmental Network (WEN) in 1991 found that disposable diapers use “20 times more raw materials, 3 times more energy, 2 times more water and generate 6 times more solid waste” than do cloth diapers.

Convenience: What mother has never had to run to the store at the last minuet to purchase diapers because she was running out?  With cloth diapers all a mother has to do is start her washing machine and then dryer and Viola fresh diapers ready for baby!

Comfort: If plastic underwear were so comfortable we would all wear them!  Everyone that goes shopping for their baby purchases clothing that is soft and cuddly, yet when diapers are purchased most people purchase a paper plastic combo to put on the most sensitive part of their baby's body, without a though about comfort!  Also with Mommy's Touch custom milled Micro fleece the baby stays feeling dry without all those chemicals and drying gels, experiencing less diaper rash.  Now that is what I call comfort.

Fashion: Face it, if disposable diapers were so pretty to look at baby's clothing would not be sold with a diaper cover.  If you have ever seen a toddler playing in a disposable diaper you know how ugly those diapers can look after just a little while.  In contrast Mommy's Touch diapers with their stain resistant outer fabric are so cute you hate to cover them up.  Most moms just choose a diaper that matches the current outfit and they are ready to go.
