The Double Inner Gusset Technology Developed by Kanga Care has revolutionized the cloth diapering industry by setting a new benchmark for quality and performance. This groundbreaking feature offers an extra layer of protection against leaks, delivering a mess-free, hassle-free experience for modern parents who demand reliability and top-tier functionality in their diapering choices. Recognized as an essential feature, it plays a significant role in influencing purchasing decisions as families explore the cloth diaper market.

Key Benefits of the Double Inner Gusset Technology:

Superior Leak Protection: Dual gussets create an added barrier against leaks, ensuring a drier, more comfortable experience for babies.
Exceptional Containment: Designed to minimize messes and blowouts, the technology helps reduce outfit and bedding changes while giving parents peace of mind.
Comfort and Adaptability: By reducing gaps that can lead to leaks, this innovation enhances diaper fit and ensures comfort for active babies, all while optimizing cloth diaper performance.

Since its invention in 2006, the Double Inner Gusset Technology has been widely recognized as a revolutionary advancement in cloth diaper design. Featured in the Rumparooz One Size Cloth Diaper, this innovation has earned hundreds of accolades over the years, including an 11-year, still running streak as the "Highest Rated Cloth Diaper" by BabyGearLabs and recognition as the "Best Pocket Diaper" for six consecutive years by Baby List.

Julie Ekstrom, owner and CEO of Kanga Care, developed this groundbreaking solution as a frustrated parent seeking relief for her infant daughter’s rashes and leaky diapers. What began as a small “kitchen table” business has since grown into a globally recognized brand, solidifying its position as a leader in the cloth diaper and accessories market.

"I’m so excited to share the news of our partnership with Kinder Cloth Diaper Co., the third company to license our innovative technology," said Julie Ekstrom, CEO of Kanga Care. "Working with Krystal and Gannon is an incredible opportunity to bring even more advancements to the cloth diapering world. Our double inner gusset technology is very close to my heart because of the pieces of me woven into the story as the difference the function in the technology has made for so many families. Seeing it adopted by another brand that shares our passion for quality and innovation is truly inspiring. This partnership will help ensure parents have access to more reliable, leak-proof options when choosing cloth diapers for their little ones."

The licensing agreement between Kanga Care and Kinder Cloth Diaper Co. marks yet another significant collaborative milestone in the cloth diaper industry. Both companies look forward to the positive impact this partnership will have on the parenting community.
