Because every baby deserves clean, dry diapers—and every parent deserves support.
If you need diapers today, start by finding your county below.
Why Diaper Access Matters
In Texas, nearly 1 in 2 families struggles to afford enough diapers each month. Without a steady supply, babies risk rashes and infections, and parents often miss work or childcare because most daycares require diapers.
Save Texas Moms created this directory so parents can find free or low-cost diaper banks close to home. Call 833-721-MOMS or email us if no diaper bank is listed in your county. We’ll connect you with nearby options.
Please note that common federal nutrition assistance programs like SNAP and WIC do not cover the cost of diapers. While TANF cash benefits may be used for the cost of diapers, these supports are limited and not guaranteed. That’s why diaper banks and programs through their partner agencies are critical for rural, lower-income, and underserved communities.
FAQs
-
Diaper need is the inability to afford enough clean, dry diapers to keep a baby or toddler healthy and comfortable. It is now recognized as a basic need and a public health issue.
-
According to the National Diaper Bank Network’s 2024 Diaper Check, almost 1 in 2 U.S. families with young children struggle to afford diapers—up from 1 in 3 just a decade ago. Texas mirrors this national trend, with low-income families at greatest risk.
-
SNAP and WIC are nutrition programs; federal rules classify diapers as household supplies, which makes them ineligible. Only limited cash assistance (TANF) can be used, and very few families qualify.
-
Newborns typically require 10–12 diapers per day, while older babies need 6–8. That adds up to $840–$1,000 per year per child, depending on brand and size.
-
Stretching diapers increases the risk of diaper rash and urinary tract infections in infants, leading to more pediatric visits and higher medical costs.
-
Yes. Seventy-five percent of mothers experiencing diaper insecurity report feeling helpless, and 1 in 4 parents miss work or school because childcare centers require a day’s supply of diapers.

-
Sizes 4, 5, and 6, as well as pull-ups (4T/5T), are almost always in short supply because children wear them for the longest period.
-
Cloth can reduce costs in the long term, but the need for laundering, upfront costs, and daycare restrictions make it impractical for many low-income families.
-
Some locations also offer wipes, pull-ups, period products, or other baby items. Formula availability is limited and varies widely. For formula-specific help, contact your local WIC office and check our Food Bank Directory. Always call ahead to confirm current stock.
