SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Improving Diaper Af-
fordability Act of 2025’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Diapers are an essential need for the health 
and hygiene of babies and toddlers. 
(2) Families without adequate access to diapers 
face a higher risk of poor health outcomes for their 
children, including diaper rash, severe dermatitis, in-
fections, and hospitalization, while also posing a sig-
nificant risk to maternal mental health. 
(3) Families with diaper need lack a sufficient 
supply of diapers to keep a baby or toddler clean, 
dry, and healthy. 
(4) 46 percent of families with children age 4 
or below struggle to provide the diapers their chil-
dren need; this is an increase from 1 in 3 families 
expressing diaper need before the COVID–19 pan-
demic. 
(5) Low-income families make up 2 out of 3 
families with diaper need; a disproportionate amount 
of these families are Black or Latino. 
(6) Annually, families spend between $945 and 
$1,500 on diapers for a child under age 4; a low- 
income family of 4 spends 2.6 times more of their
