About Us
Our Story:
Nice to meet you! We are a husband and wife team, Erin and Stuart. I (Erin) originally started my children's boutique, Sterling & Me, in 2017 and have been selling cloth diapers from the start here in Illinois. We also cloth diapered all 5 of our children!
As a cloth diaper retailer, Best Bottom Diapers were some of our best selling diapers! We also loved them for our own children. In 2019 Sterling & Me had a retailer exclusive from Best Bottom called Wizard Pals!
Best Bottom Diapers (Planet Wise) were sold from the original owner in 2020, then sold to us in 2024! We have been so excited to get Best Bottom started again after a few quiet years that it was not in production anymore. Then in 2025 we also acquired Planet Wise!
Our goal is to keep Best Bottom Diapers the same diaper we've all known and loved for many years. So many parents have come back because they cloth diapered their babies 10 years ago with Best Bottom and want to continue using them for a new baby or suggest them to a friend!
Best Bottom Diapers are all made in the USA with our manufacturers in Wisconsin. We are committed to keeping our diapers made here with the highest quality materials we can find.
Planet Wise has been a bit trickier to get started again. We are working to get our wet bags back into production in 2026 also in Wisconsin.
Piper Diapers:
In 2026 we are also starting our new line called Piper Diapers! When we received all of the Best Bottom stock we got a few boxes of the Best Bottom Overnight Bamboo Fitted Diapers. This diaper had been rebranded from another sister brand of Best Bottom, but we did't feel like it quite fit with the Best Bottom system. Also, the fitted diapers were made in China and we really wanted to keep Best Bottom all USA made. But, so many customers LOVED the fitted diaper, and we did too! Our solution was to start Piper Diapers and rebrand the fitted diaper again to a new line (named after our middle daughter Piper!).
With the bamboo fitted diaper, we also brought in new covers (to fit over the fitted diapers!), and bamboo AIOs (the newborn size are my FAVORITES!). This new line is so fun to me because it can really evolve with new products and materials.
