Diapering Services Delivering to your front door

Have you heard of this. My mom told me about it when she had my brother and me. For the first year with us, she got a diapering service to pick up her dirty diapers and deliver clean one. There is a monthly fee, but seems much easier than buying diapers and also doing laundry. I found this website for my local area. You could even put this on your registry and have people buy a month for you.

Some diapering services use bleach, so you gotta be careful is your LO's skin is sensitive, plus they can be quite expensive...at least the ones on my area are. If I'm paying that much I might as well do bio sposies. I have heard of people that do like a service, but it's just not for me.

Washing is some extra work, but once you find a routine that works for you it's not that bad.

We are planning to use a diaper service for the first month before doing our own cloth.

We did this for a while with DD and really liked it. It made using cloth so much easier! For us it was $80/month, which is about how much disposables cost.

In my area it costs about $100 a month, which is more than I spend on diapers now.
If they would do all my laundry for a $100 a month I would sign up in a heart beat!

My brother and SIL use one for my niece - SIL's mom set it up and paid the start up fees and first couple months as a gift. They have still had to buy all their own covers, snappis, and keep a bag full of diapers with poop included for a week... Oh, and they had to buy their own wetbags for travel/daycare. They pay quite a bit per month, $75 I think? And because they moved after having baby, the diaper service doesn't pick up where they've lived for the past 2 years (they moved when she was only a month old)... they've been dropping them off at somebody's house a town over to get picked up weekly (ick)... They're about to move again, and the service picks up where they're moving to.

On the one hand, I know my brother wouldn't do cloth otherwise (he about passes out just changing a poopy diaper), but I would think disposables would be better for the cost and ease (coupons anybody?).

I use and wash my own cloth. I have no idea how much I spent on startup because I'm an addict who wants to buy ALL the things... but I know washing them isn't costing me much. It's not even making a noticeable difference in my utilities or anything, and I've been lucky to get lots of free detergent, so no cost there either.

I really don't understand diaper services, it's really not that hard to wash and maintain CD's. Especially at that cost you may as well use disposables.

Yeah, but they're better for the environment. I wasn't trying to do it as a way to save money, so I loved that someone else washed them for me.

So...I would think that you still need to spray them after starting solids, right? Thats the worst part of CDs. I can't imagine how bad it would smell to have a wet bag of unrinsed diapers for a week! I also have a thing about sharing diapers. I know it's silly, but it gets my ick factor.
