Reviews? I ordered the free trial of the essentials kit. I'm interested in their monthly subscription. I like the idea of having more natural products in my home and around my child.
What do you all think?
ETA: any target, BRU, or any store that sells babyganics or other more natural product alternatives is not an option for me. The closest ones are an hour away! I'm stuck with walmart. That's why I'm interested in honests subscription service.

I bought the body wash shampoo 2 in 1 at costco, it is AWFUL on my hair so I'm just trying to use it up as body wash. I've heard good things about their products so I had high hopes.

@mrs. bird: I got that coming in my trial pack but I already took it out of my bundle if I do end up subscribing. I'm particular about my hair products. Lol!!

I had a Zulily credit when LO 2 was a newborn so I ordered some diapers. Super cute prints but I never bought them again...we just stick with Pampers or Target brand since we only use disposables occasionally.
I saw Honest products at Target!

@autumnlove: the diapers are a little too expensive for me. We will just stick with pampers. Unfortunately there isn't a target near me.

@Danizaur: ya, I think it was $25 for 50 diapers. Not worth it to me!

We got the body wash/shampoo from Costco too. I love it on the kids but I use my own stuff.

We use the diapers and they're sooooo cute, I manage to justify the extra expense, ha...I did a bundle of products for my first order, including stain remover, bathroom cleaner, general cleaner, sun screen and something else, I forget. Overall, pleased with everything but nothing jumps out as amazing so I cancelled my products subscription and just do the diapers.

@Danizaur: I did not use it, but my aunt was not impressed with the sunscreen. if you end up not being blown away, babyganics is an affordable alternative! I love their sunscreen and cleaning products, BRU has buy one, get one free pretty often - couple times a year? I stock up! It's like $3/bottle I think (cleaners).
eta: I did use the baby bundle! loved the diapers, not the price. loved the baby stuff on LO but wouldn't have used it on myself. the smell was nice though! i switched LO to ava anderson. smells like creamsicle..or something equally as delicious, lol.

I get an essential bundle ... Travel pack Wipes, dryer sheets, detergent, toilet bowl cleaner, I have pretty much tried it all so let me know if here is something in particular you want an opinion on. We use the body wash too and it's been fine for us.. We also get vitamins.

@T-Mom: awesome!! The two things I'm looking at the most is the healing balm...I've read good reviews for eczema skin (for T and me both) and the dishwashing soap. I hand wash all bottles and pump parts and while dawn does a good job, I'm not thrilled with the heavy scent it leaves behind and I can't find a fragrance free alternative at walmart.
Do the cleaning supplies do a good job?

@Danizaur: Hm, I am not a huge fan of the healing balm because it is very thick and sticky to me. My DD has eczema and I don't use it on her. But it's kind of their signature product so I know a lot of people like it. The dishwash liquid is ok but not very concentrated. I prefer method brand, myself. The dishwasher detergent was not that effective on my dishes. I also use the cleaning spray for counters and stuff and I like it.. Fruit spray is good too... Hm what else? Hehe

I like healing balm. I use it as a post bikini shave tool to soothe the skin. I use the laundry bleach brightener. I like it because it dissolves well and works.

@T-Mom: Lol awesome!! Good to know. If I think of anything else I'll let you know! Thanks!

@Danizaur: the healing balm did nothing for my son's diaper rash. I used it for over a week and it just made it worse! I never used it on other skin issues though.
My MIL gave us a diaper cake from them that had diapers wipes, shampoo, lotion, laundry detergent and the healing balm. I liked the diapers but honestly I like Pampers swaddlers better and they are cheaper! The laundry pods are ok...I only use them on LO clothes though because I feel like they aren't as great as the All Free and Clear I bought before he was born. I love the shampoo for LO...it smells awesome! They lotion is good too. I haven't tried anything else from them. My Target just put out Honest stuff so I might try other things I find there.

I get the diapers and wipes bundle and the essential bundles. I like the diapers, and wipes bundle. In the essential bundle, I usually get extra wipes, the oxy pods and handsoap. I did not like the stain remover, I do not think it worked well. I also did not like the toothpaste. I have used the oxy pods diluted in a spray bottle for stain remover. The healing balm is nice too.
As far as cleaning products, I make my own in order to avoid too many chemicals in my home.

@Danizaur: I've tried several of their products so far. Wasn't a fan of their shampoo/body wash, laundry detergent, or dish washing detergent. I do like their diapers, but mostly just for the cuteness factor 
Lately I've been kinda annoyed w/them... all the cute diaper prints are usually sold out so I have to keep going back to check when they're restocked.

I am a fan of their diapers because it has helped clear a few stubborn diaper rashes during DD's first year. Now we mainly use it as overnights and during long outings or road trips. We use Pampers cruisers during the day. I also love their wipes! I tried the diaper cream on DD and it didn't work with her skin, it would agitate it further turning the problem area even redder.

I love the wipes and healing balm. I mainly use the healing balm for our eczema though and not diaper rashes, I find it's not too effective for that. The only downfall for me is the cost of shipping!

Beware if your LO has sensitive skin. Since the diapers are natural they're not as absorbent and can cause a rash if you don't change them right away. DD has gotten a rash a few times from using them. =(

We get the diaper bundle and like it. It's not primarily based on cuteness, though that's a bonus, but we really wanted a diaper with as few chemicals as possible. I actually prefer Bambo Nature diapers but they're crazy expensive so the Honest ones are a good balance. I didn't really care for the wipes at first because they seemed drier than the others we'd been using (Seventh Generation) but now that I'm used to them, I love them! The box generally lasts us a little more than a month, too, so I used to have to push back the shipping date each month but they now let you choose alternate schedules more easily.
The other things I've added on are the healing balm (love it, though we don't use it for diaper rash -- but it's worked well for drool rash so far) and the Breathe Easy Rub, which was sold out FOREVER so we just finally got it a couple days ago and haven't used it yet.
All in all, I like the things we've tried but I haven't been completely blown away by anything. But it's SO convenient to never have to run to the store for diapers!

I like the sunscreen and the bubble bath! Just got the detangling spray for LO but haven't used it enough to have a review. I have really liked their diapers but we mostly CD so the expense is minimal for me.

I think I have used everything from Honest for about a year. Pleased with nearly all products and they have wonderful customer service. I am now watching our spending so I have eliminated using most. With that said I will continue to use their healing balm and shampoo/wash on my little ones. Their diapers and wipes worked well for us, no leaks, no diaper rash. But I can no longer justify the cost.
