Hello Bello Diapers Review [2026]: Are They Worth It 3 Years Later?
Today I’m updating my Hello Bello diapers review, three years after we first tried them with our fourth baby. This post was originally written with support from the brand; every purchase and opinion since has been our own.
The short version: Hello Bello diapers earned a permanent spot in our rotation. They held up through the blowout stage, worked on the most sensitive skin of any of my four kids, and the prints are still the cutest on the market. They run slightly small, so size up if you’re little one is almost in the next size. And yes, the brand is still around in 2026 after its 2023 bankruptcy and sale, and the diapers don’t seem to have changed under the new ownership.
If you want the full story, keep reading.

Why You Can Trust This Review
We started using Hello Bello when our fourth baby was six months old, back in 2023 (check out our post partum essentials with baby #4). That baby is now almost 4 and we really do need to get her potty trained… which means we’ve bought these diapers on and off for three years, through the newborn diaper rash phase, the crawling blowout phase, overnight diapers leaks (or the lack thereof). Four kids in, I’ve changed more diapers than I want to count across Pampers, Huggies, Honest, Millie Moon, Dyper, and more so I have plenty to compare against.
I also kept buying them through the brand’s bankruptcy and sale in 2023-2024, which most reviews you’ll find were written before. More on that below, because I know it’s the question a lot of you are searching for.
Is Hello Bello Still in Business in 2026?
Yes. Hello Bello filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2023 (about two months after I first published this review, actually) and was acquired by Hildred Capital Management, a private equity firm, in early 2024. The brand kept operating the whole time, including its own diaper factory in Waco, Texas.
What that means for you as a parent: nothing. I was anticipating the diapers to change but we haven’t noticed a difference!
Our Experience: What I Love About Hello Bello Diapers
They work. Cute prints and clean ingredients don’t matter if you’re stripping a crib sheet at 2am because the diaper leaked. We didn’t have blowouts or leaks with these. I do size up for overnight diapers once my baby is sleeping through the night (or use a designated overnight diaper).
Great for sensitive skin. My fourth baby has the most sensitive skin of my four kids. She reacted to Pampers if I didn’t get the clean ones and never had an issue with Hello Bello. They’re made without chlorine processing, latex, fragrance, or lotion.
The dry exterior. These have a unique feel on the outside of the diaper and never get that soggy, swollen feeling, even after a long car ride. It’s a small thing that I noticed every single day.
The prints. In the summer my babies live in nothing but a diaper, and Hello Bello prints make that feel almost like an outfit. The strawberries were super cute and I also loved the plaid!
What I Don’t Love
They don’t feel as plush. Compared to something like Dyper or Millie Moon, they’re not as soft or fluffy to the touch. It never seemed to bother my baby, but if you’re a fabric-feeler like I am, you’ll notice at first.
They run a tiny bit small. Order your baby’s regular size, but if you’re almost at the top of the weight range, go ahead and size up. This is the number one thing I tell friends before their first bundle. And if your baby is sleeping through the night, consider a full size up for nighttime diapers.
Do Hello Bello Diapers Run Small? (Sizing Guide)
In my experience, yes, slightly. The weight ranges on the package are accurate at the low end, but my kids were ready to size up before hitting the top of each range. My rule: if your baby is within 3 pounds of the top of the size range, order the next size up. A slightly big diaper leaks less than a slightly small one.
Hello Bello vs. Other Diapers We’ve Used
- vs. Pampers/Huggies: Hello Bello are cuter, better for the skin, and just as effective as Pampers (and more so than Huggies)
- vs. Honest Company: These are very similar for me but we generally purchased Hello Bello
- vs. Dyper: We loved Dyper and the sustainability with the diapers was a big selling point for me (but it comes with a higher price point and no other big benefits).
What Else Is Worth Ordering From Hello Bello
- Bath bombs. My big kids are obsessed, and I love the clean ingredient list. My 6-year-old requests one “like mom” after long dance days.
- Wipes.
- Diaper rash cream. I haven’t needed it often, but it worked when I did.
- Overnight diapers. If you’re fighting nighttime leaks, start here.
- Body wash. We’ve used and liked it. (Haven’t tried the bubble bath, but could be fun)
Hello Bello Diapers FAQ
Yes. After three years of use with my fourth baby, they’ve been effective at preventing leaks and blowouts, and they were the best-performing diaper for her sensitive skin. They’re made without chlorine processing, latex, fragrance, or lotion.
Yes. Hello Bello diapers use 100% chlorine-free processing (sometimes labeled TCF or ECF-free). They’re also made without latex, fragrance, lotion, or phthalates, which is part of why they’ve worked so well on my daughter’s sensitive skin.
Slightly, in my experience across three years of use. Order your baby’s regular size, but if they’re near the top of the weight range, size up. A slightly roomy diaper leaks less than a snug one.
No. Hello Bello filed for bankruptcy in October 2023 and was acquired by Hildred Capital Management in early 2024. The brand is still operating in 2026, still runs its Texas diaper factory, and still offers subscription bundles. [One sentence on your uninterrupted experience as a customer.]
Hello Bello diapers are sold at hellobello.com through their subscription bundle (subscribers get access to exclusive prints), plus Amazon and Walmart. [Note whichever you actually use and why.]
The diaper bundle includes 7 packs of diapers plus 4 packs of wipes. Total diaper count varies by size since smaller sizes have more diapers per pack. [Update with current counts from the site when you publish.]
Yes. They’re made without chlorine, fragrance, lotion, latex, or phthalates, and they’re vegan and cruelty-free. My fourth baby has the most sensitive skin of my four kids, and these have worked well for her.
No, they’re not biodegradable or compostable. They do use a plant-derived absorbent core with fluff pulp sourced from responsibly managed forests, so they’re a more sustainable option than conventional diapers, but they still go in the trash.
The Verdict: Are Hello Bello Diapers Worth It in 2026?
Three years and one ownership change later, my answer hasn’t changed: yes. If you want a diaper that’s gentle on sensitive skin, actually holds up against leaks, and doesn’t look like a plain white diaper, Hello Bello is worth it. Size up if you’re between sizes, and don’t skip the bath bombs.
If you’re looking for a cute, clean, effective diaper, cannot recommend Hello Bello enough!
