A Doctor Who
Listened. Then Created.
From the therapy room to the nursery — with love.
In her practice as a clinical and industrial psychologist, Dr. Sharon Fried Buchalter heard the same exhausted truth from parents again and again: the nights were long, the worries were real, and the products they trusted were full of things they couldn't pronounce and didn't want near their baby's skin.
She listened. She documented. And then, as a scientist who refused to accept "that's just how it is," she got to work. Drawing on her clinical expertise, her background in consumer product development, and the intimate, firsthand knowledge of what it means to be a mother of two, Dr. Sharon spent years in rigorous research to develop a diapering system she would stake her name on.
"I wanted products that were not only safe and natural but that turned an everyday task into a moment of joy — for the baby and the parent holding them." — Dr. Sharon Fried Buchalter
In 2013, she launched Products on the Go LLC. In 2018, after years of meticulous development, she introduced Little Toes a complete, natural, non-toxic diapering solution made from plant-based and bamboo-derived materials, free of every chemical that had no business being near a baby.
Three Unbreakable
Pillars of Pure Goodness
Every Little Toes product stands on the three commitments Dr. Sharon made the
day she decided to build something better.
Sustainably Sourced
Dr. Sharon believes that the bamboo groves and forests and grassy meadows deserve the same gentle care as every baby wearing Little Toes diapers. That is why every material is chosen carefully and harvested responsibly, protecting the earth your baby will one day explore. Our bamboo biodegrades in just 147 days — not 500 years.
Ultra-Soft Comfort
Bamboo fibers are naturally smooth and round without chemical treatment — no sharp spurs, no roughness, nothing that doesn't belong next to your baby's skin. Whisper-soft against the most sensitive skin, breathable in every temperature, and moisture-wicking for a dry, happy little one.
Dermatologist Tested
At Little Toes, what we leave out matters just as much as what we put in. Our products are free from chlorine, latex, alcohol, phthalates, parabens, and other harmful chemicals. Also, since trust is earned and not assumed, our products are rigorously tested by independent labs and dermatologists before it ever reaches your baby.

Frequently Asked Questions
& Diaper Knowledge
Bamboo vs. Natural Diapers — What's the Difference?
What is the difference between a bamboo diaper and a natural diaper?
Not all "natural" diapers are equal. Diapers made from bamboo fibers offer a suite of benefits that cotton-based natural diapers simply cannot match:
- Absorbency: Bamboo is 70% more absorbent than cotton, actively wicking moisture away from your baby's skin for lasting dryness.
- Thermal regulation: Bamboo's natural breathability circulates fresh air, keeping skin dry and comfortable in any temperature — whether it's a Florida summer or a winter night.
- Antibacterial by nature: Bamboo contains "bamboo kun," a naturally occurring bio-agent with inherent antibacterial and deodorizing properties — no additives needed.
- Chemical-free softness: Bamboo fibers are organically smooth and round. No chemical treatments are required to achieve softness — the fiber is hypoallergenic by design.
- Eco-superior growth: Bamboo grows up to 1.5 inches per hour, requires no harmful fertilizers or pesticides, and generates up to 30% more oxygen than comparable plants.
Why is bamboo considered naturally hypoallergenic?
Bamboo fibers are naturally smooth and round at the microscopic level — unlike synthetic or even cotton fibers, which can have sharp spurs that irritate sensitive skin. Because bamboo grows rapidly without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and requires no harsh chemical treatment to achieve softness, the resulting fiber is gentle enough for the most delicate newborn skin.
Little Toes bamboo diapers are endorsed by Dr. Ira Finegold, MD, Chief of Allergy & Immunology at Mount Sinai West, and earned Dermatest® Excellent 2025 certification. They are trusted for babies with eczema, sensitive skin, and chemical sensitivities.
How does bamboo compare to other plant-based diaper materials like corn or sugarcane?
Corn and sugarcane-based plant materials can feel stiff or rough against skin. Bamboo fiber, by contrast, is often compared to cashmere in its softness. Additionally:
- Bamboo's "bamboo kun" provides natural antibacterial protection absent in most other plant-based materials
- Bamboo absorbs up to 3× its weight in liquid — outperforming most alternative plant fibers
- Bamboo is one of Earth's fastest-growing plants, requiring no replanting and far less land than cotton
- Bamboo's thermal regulation keeps baby's skin comfortable across all temperatures — an advantage corn or sugarcane fibers don't offer
Note: Little Toes swim diapers are natural eco-certified, not plant-based. This distinction reflects the specific materials used in each product line.
