Tereson (Thomas) Dupuy Named “Best Entrepreneur” Finalist in 3rd Annual Stevie® Awards for Women in Business

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

NEW IBERIA, La. – Tereson (Thomas) Dupuy, the CEO of Mother of Eden and inventor of the patented FuzziBunz® pocket diaper system, was named a “Finalist” today in the “Best Entrepreneur – Non-Service Business – up to 100 employees” category in the 3rd annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business.

The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor women executives, entrepreneurs, and the companies they run worldwide. The Stevie Awards have been hailed as “the business world’s own Oscars” by the New York Post.

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word “crowned,” winners will be announced during a gala event in New York in March. Nominated women executives and entrepreneurs from the U.S. and several other countries are expected to attend. More than 600 entries were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories, including Best Executive, Best Entrepreneur, and Best Community Involvement Program.

Dupuy, a Louisiana native, has been in the diaper business for more than seven years. She invented the pocket diaper concept and holds a U.S. patent for her invention. Thousands and thousands of moms around the world have made FuzziBunz® reusable diapers one of the top selling reusable diapers on the market today.

“I invented FuzziBunz® out of necessity. I wanted to help my baby better cope with the chronic diaper rash that plagued his skin. Disposables contained chemicals irritated his skin and traditional cloth diapers were soggy, inconvenient and hard to care for. I created a reusable diaper that keeps a baby dry and happy and that many moms tell me significantly reduces the incidence of diaper rash,” said Dupuy.

Finalists were chosen by business professionals worldwide during preliminary judging. Members of the Awards’ Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs select Stevie Award winners from among the Finalists during final judging.

“Being named a Finalist in The Stevie Awards for Women in Business is an important achievement,” said Michael Gallagher, president of the Stevie Awards. “It means that independent business executives have agreed that the nominee is worthy of recognition.”

ReallyNatural.com: FuzziBunz® Microfleece Re-usable Diapers

Okay, you know you’re in trouble when your husband starts sending you links to products like FuzziBunz® microfleece re-usable diapers. “But I saw them in Wired,” he protests, “And they fit with your whole earth-friendly, reduce, reuse, recycle ethic.” Whatever, man. You’re sending me links about diapers.

That said, FuzziBuns® do look pretty snappy (pun intended). They come with durable snaps that let you adjust the size to fit your baby’s legs and waist. They’re made with microfleece, which according to the site, “gently touches your baby’s skin, pulling away moisture and keeping your baby rash-free, dry, and comfortable.” The outside layer is waterproof. And they come with a “patented, pocket-style opening” that acts as, well, a pocket, so you can stuff it with inserts or towels to increase the diapers’ absorbency.

fuzzi buns2.jpgAccording to groups like the Institute for Lifecycle Environmental Assessment, the jury’s still out on whether cloth diapers are better for the environment than disposables. They use more energy to clean, but take less energy to produce and create a lot less solid waste. And of course there are the parents who suggest that if less is more, none is best – and therefore advocate going the diaper-less route.

At Really Natural, we think it’s up to you as a parent to decide what’s right for you and your child. But if you’re thinking about going the cloth or re-usable diaper route, FuzziBunz® deserves a top to bottom look.



Mother of Eden Announces MSRP Change for Its Top-Selling, Patented FuzziBunz®™ Pocket Diapers

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

NEW IBERIA, La. – Mother of Eden, the makers of the FuzziBunz® Stay Dry diapering system, today announces that the new manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of FuzziBunz® will be $17.95 as of September 1, 2006.

“We have always strived to bring affordable and sustainable diapering options to parents around the globe.  While it was a difficult business decision to change the MSRP, we firmly believe that FuzziBunz® remain at a competitive price point.  FuzziBunz® is the gold standard cloth diaper and the MSRP is a reflection of the high-quality product that our loyal customers have been accustomed to for many years,” said Tereson Dupuy, FuzziBunz® inventor and CEO of Mother of Eden.

This is the first MSRP change the company has made to its FuzziBunz® product in more than five years.

Mother of Eden also announces that as of September 1, 2006, FuzziBunz® will be available in sets.  FuzziBunz® “sets” include a FuzziBunz® and a complimentary microterry insert.  FuzziBunz® and inserts were previously sold separately.  Inserts will continue to be available for separate purchase.

“While the price of FuzziBunz® has increased, we are happy to provide a free microterry insert with each purchase.  In the past, customers would have to buy both a FuzziBunz® and an insert – today, we have eliminated that chore by providing a FuzziBunz® set, complete with an included insert at no extra charge,” says Dupuy.

FuzziBunz® is a reusable cloth diaper that includes three layers: 1)  a waterproof outer barrier to keep wetness contained, 2) a soft microfleece inner layer that touches a baby’s skin and pulls away moisture, and 3) a unique,  pocket-style opening that enables a parent to customize the absorbency using super absorbent micro-terrycloth pads.

Dupuy adds, “It’s important for our new and returning customers to understand that we are creating FuzziBunz® sets so we can maintain a higher standard of quality and convenience. Essentially, we are eliminating an additional cost to the customer by including an insert with each FuzziBunz® purchase.  However, just because FuzziBunz® come with microterry inserts, many moms find that other inserts – such as hemp inserts – will work well too.  While FuzziBunz® will come with a free microterry insert, our customers can continue to use what ever “stuffing” works best for them.”

FuzziBunz® is sold at a variety of online retail outlets.  For a complete list of FuzziBunz® retailers, please visit www.fuzzibunz.com.
