5 years, 37 million diapers, 17 million baby wipes, and countless families supported.

Since 2021, we’ve partnered with to help end diaper insecurity—donating a portion from every Cuties® diaper case sold along the way.

We're incredibly grateful to our team, customers and partners. Their everyday choices have made this milestone possible.

This National Diaper Need Awareness Week, we're celebrating this impact and looking forward to all that's still to come. Learn more about our partnership here: https://www.firstquality.com/news/fq-and-c2c-celebrate-5-years-of-partnership

This summer, Keith and William got a firsthand look at what makes run.

Keith, a Procurement Intern out of Anderson University dove into pulp commodity markets, vendor relationships, and cost-savings strategies—getting real exposure to the deals and data behind the scenes. William, a Process Engineering Intern from the University of Georgia, spent his time in Macon, GA learning how engineering translates from the classroom to the plant floor, and how every department relies on the next to keep things moving.

Their takeaway? No dull moments, and a whole company that feels like one connected machine.

Thank you both for bringing your curiosity and hard work to FQ this summer. We're grateful to have had you on the team!

What does it really take to design a better baby diaper?
Spoiler: It’s way more complex than you think.

At First Quality, our baby care team starts with one simple question: What do parents truly need?

This group of scientists, engineers, and innovators work every day to solve the real challenges parents face. From balancing softness, absorbency and leak protection to ensuring affordability–every detail matters.

Every change impacts the entire diaper system… and that’s where the magic happens.
