Frequently Asked Questions
How does the service work?

Once a week, you will receive freshly laundered and folded diapers delivered right to your door.

Diapers are delivered in a water-resistant laundry bag, along with a diaper pail liner.

There is no need for anyone to be home to receive the delivery. If you live in a gated community or condo, please make arraignments with your security gate/guard. We will do our best to work with you on delivery options.

Once each week, the dirty diapers are picked up by our delivery person and swapped out for clean ones.

Our diaper service uses 100% unbleached Indian cotton prefold diapers.

More than half of our prefold diaper inventory is 100% organic unbleached Indian cotton.

What process do you use to launder the diapers?
Diapers are sanitized using an extremely high temperature laundering process in high-grade industrial washers and dryers. No chemicals or dyes are used in the laundering process and our detergent is an all natural, fragrance free, non-combustible, non-hazardous, non-fuming, non-toxic, and biodegradable soap, free of ANY harmful synthetic ingredients.
Will I receive my own diapers each week?
If you prefer to receive your very own diapers each week, there are packages available that will enable you to receive the same diapers. These diapers will not be shared nor washed with other customers’ diapers. Your diapers will have an identification tag which are always kept with your diapers and diaper pail liner(s).
Do I receive the same amount of diapers each week?
Yes, but if your diaper needs change as time goes on, so can the number of diapers that are delivered to you. Just let us know your needs and we will accommodate your request.
How do I care for the diapers?
As required with any diaper, any loose material should be disposed of before placing it in your diaper pail. There is no need to soak or rinse diapers.

The covers need to be washed if:
1. Urine gets the lining of the cover wet;
2. Any feces gets on the lining of the cover;
3. If there is an odor.
Usually, one cover can be used for one to two days. When washing is needed, covers should be washed with your child’s laundry and can be hung to dry or laid on top of the dryer.
What about diaper rash creams?
Diaper rash creams can be used with our diapers without a barrier, however we ask that you use one of our approved diaper creams listed below to prevent staining and build up from forming on the diaper making it repel liquid.

Although diaper rash is common, especially among babies in disposal diapers, it is not normal and parents should find the cause of the rash. Some common causes include but are not limited to: 
  • Prolonged contact with soiled diaper. Be sure to change your baby regularly. I suggest checking the diaper once per hour and changing it at least once every 2 hours -- especially for newborns and young infants. Poopie diaper should be changed immediately!
  • If Mom is nursing, too much acidic or allergenic food consumption may cause rashes.
  • Dry skin -- are you washing baby too frequently, which strips the skin of natural oils? Could it be the wipes you're using? Wipes solution?
  • Teething or illness -- if this is the cause, continue to be diligent and things will get better.
