Bumkins started with a different kind of diaper rash.
In 1989, Jakki Liberman noticed irritation on her daughter's belly from the "stay-dry" waist shield of her disposable diapers. She searched high and low for a better option, but her only choice was a pinned cloth diaper with a plastic cover.
A working mother of four, she needed a practical alternative. So, she decided to create her own diaper. Huddled among friends in her garage/office, she began testing hundreds of fabrics until she found a soft, skin-safe option and a durable, waterproof exterior — a combo that was both functional and fun. From there, the Bumkins diaper, signature waterproof fabric, and family were born.
As her children grew, Jakki’s energy for creative, conscious problem solving soon turned to the feeding space and led to the design of award-winning bibs, dishware, and more offerings that add fun to mealtime and other milestones of developing littles.
Throughout the years, their growing community of parents and caretakers have been coming to them for better parenting alternatives — smart products with unique designs and interpretations of timeless characters that simplify life without sacrificing style or sustainability. These solutions continue to support the developing needs and lifestyles of parents and little ones all over the world.
