BABY JOB Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Representative Director: Kimitsugu Ueno) announced that 'Tebura Touen,' a subscription service for disposable diapers and baby wipes for childcare facilities, will begin in May 2026 at all public childcare facilities (4 locations) operated by Saga City, Saga Prefecture.
The diapers introduced this time are specially designed reflecting the voices of frontline childcare workers, featuring specifications that make them easier for teachers to use, such as size indicators that can be understood at a glance.
■ Paper diaper subscription 'Tebura Touen' starts at Saga City's public childcare facilities from May
To reduce the burden on parents and childcare workers, Saga City will introduce the 'Tebura Touen' subscription for disposable diapers and baby wipes from May 2026.
Until now, parents had to write their child's name on each diaper and bring 5 to 6 diapers to the facility every day, placing a heavy burden on busy working parents. For the nurseries, receiving individually named diapers meant they had to manage them per child, adding to their workload.
By introducing 'Tebura Touen,' diapers and wipes are delivered directly to the facility, eliminating the need for parents to write names or bring them. Nurseries also no longer need to manage diapers individually, reducing the workload on staff and allowing them more time to interact with the children.
■ Comments regarding the introduction of the diaper subscription
Mr. Magori, Director of the Childcare and Kindergarten Division, Child Future Department, Saga City
'In Saga City, we introduced 'Tebura Touen' in 4 public facilities to reduce the childcare burden on parents and create an environment where they can raise children with peace of mind. By doing so, we expect that the time and effort saved from writing names on diapers and bringing them to the nursery will allow parents to spend more relaxing time with their children. In the childcare frontline as well, we believe that reducing administrative tasks like individual diaper management and inventory checking will allow staff to secure more time to engage with the children. We hope that sharing our city's initiatives with private nurseries in the future will lead to an improvement in reducing the childcare burden across the entire city.'
■ What are the specialized Tebura Touen diapers designed for childcare workers?
The Tebura Touen specialized diapers adopted this time are designed so that childcare workers can use them more efficiently on-site. While parents rarely worry about diaper sizes frequently at home, in a nursery setting, it is necessary to quickly identify the right size for each child. Therefore, features that make the size visible at a glance are crucial.
With these specialized diapers, the size is printed largely on the packages and cardboard boxes, and they are also color-coded, making it easier to grasp the inventory status. In addition, the size is indicated on the diaper itself, allowing childcare workers to check the size smoothly just by peeking slightly into the pants during diaper changes.
We aim to design services that closely align with the frontline, ensuring that childcare workers can secure more time to interact with children. Through this initiative, we will strive to improve the quality of childcare and create an environment where parents can leave their children with peace of mind.
■ What is 'Tebura Touen' provided by BABY JOB?
'Tebura Touen' is Japan's first*1 subscription where disposable diapers and wipes can be used unlimitedly at childcare facilities. It solves issues for both parents and teachers by eliminating the hassle for parents to 'handwrite names and bring diapers' and the hassle for teachers to individually manage them. In 2020, it won the Grand Prix at the Japan Subscription Business Award.
Currently, the diaper subscription provided by BABY JOB is adopted in over 9,400 facilities (as of March 2026).
To further reduce the burden on parents, in addition to paper diapers, we have started 'nap cot cover subscriptions' and 'paper apron and hand wipe services for meals.'

■ What is 'Cashless for Anyone' for preschools and schools?
It is a cashless service that eliminates cash handling occurring inside preschools and schools, reducing the burden on teachers and parents. It saves teachers the trouble of preparing and storing change, and parents find it convenient as they can choose from various payment methods. This service can also be used for the 'Preschool for All' system and temporary childcare.
