About Fishnoodles

Fishnoodles makes your decision to use cloth a choice you'll love. We cloth diaper for some pretty serious reasons - saving money, limiting the waste we put in landfills, giving our babies the most comfortable start in life. These things are important - and we need to enjoy doing them! Fishnoodles cloth diapers have the quality, fit, and colors to bring cheer to your diapering routine.

Fishnoodle Industries LLC started in 2006 under the brand name Painted Patootie. These were hand-decorated pocket diapers and covers that soon became too labor-intensive to continue. We took those original great fitting diaper patterns and made them available as covers and AIOs under our Fishnoodles label. We are the developers of the Snapper and Wrapper diaper covers, the Solo Flyer all-in-one, and the Freesize Fitted. As the company grows, other products that we hope to bring back into production are the Pocket Jammer pocket diaper, and the Fishnoodles Fitted two-step fitted diaper.

Fishnoodles sources fabrics as close to home as possible in the USA and has the diapers sewn here too. This helps limit the carbon used in production and keeps jobs based in a country with environmental and human rights standards.

Dawn Bucholtz is the mom-in-chief behind Fishnoodles. She and her husband have three little patooties, all of whom were cloth diapered. She has been a public health researcher and a La Leche League Leader. Promoting health, working toward environmental sustainability and creating beautiful yet practical garments are the guiding mission for Fishnoodles.
