Southern PA diaper service?

LovingEveryDay

I live in Shrewsbury, it's the first exit in PA when you go north of Balt on 83.   I see that there are diaper services for Pittsburg, Philidelphia, and Lancaster, but I haven't found any for my area. 

Know of any?

I'm not even sure we'll use cloth diapers, but I'm looking into it.

TIA!

You could contact Modern Diaper Service, but it looks like the farthest north they go is Baltimore County... https://www.moderndiaperservice.com/ourservicearea.html

 

FWIW, it looks like they only offer the pre-folds and one cover. So even if you were going to use cloth diapers a diaper service isn't necessarily going to offer you a good trial run because there are SEVERAL different styles/types of cloth diapers (all-in-ones, pockets, pre-folds with covers).

Good luck!

check and see if the Lancaster service would come to you.  Or check and see if Metropolitan Diaper service would come to you- they serve Baltimore and DC from what I gather. 

From what I gather you have to buy certain items (covers and snappis) if you use a service and you are usually limited in the type of diaper (prefolds- which are the simplest diapers to wash and cheapest type of diapers to buy- but some people also find them intimidating- they aren't as easy/similar in style to disposables as pockets, all-in-ones, etc.) 

I CD our DS and I started with cloth when DD was 2 months old or so- I have never used a service though, always washed my own.

If you want to know more about Cd'ing I would check out the Eco-friendly-family board.  I found it very helpful when I started using cloth.

sorry- I didn't see that madlady posted.

I also wanted to suggest that there are some cloth diaper online sites that offer trial packages so you can try a variety of styles and brands of diapers, return what you don't want, etc.
