Jessica Alba launches line of 'bipartisan diapers' to encourage unity between Democrats and Republicans
Why can't we all just get along? That is the question asked by Jessica Alba's new line of eco-friendly bipartisan diapers, which depict a donkey and elephant holding hands. "As the election approaches, let's teach our children to embrace unity and compassion. There is one United States, one people, indivisible, and our new election diaper encompasses that sincere belief," Honest Company co-founder and CEO Brian Lee told Motto.
Alba launched Honest Company in 2011; as a mother of three, she told Motto, "I always try to set a good example for my children — but I'm amazed by how much I actually learn from them. Our election diapers were inspired by all of the little ones out there who were born not to see red or blue, but simply to love."
You can buy the diapers for $13.95, although there's no guarantee your little one will understand the nuances of political symbolism.
