I just had to add there is NOTHING more complicated about a diaper service. Not to push it, but just to put it out there that diaper service means you get to use cloth exactly like a disposable. (More to educate everyone - not to direct it at you). Plus there usually is considerably savings when it comes to more than one child.

I argue it is simpler since they come to your door and deliver fresh diapers every week. No diaper shopping. We paid way more than disposables for the convenience and for the cloth diapers (disposables just disgust me).

Sorry, just my frustration at trying to explain diaper service to people and constantly be told, "but that's too hard." ???? You throw dirty diapers in a bag and set them outside once a week. NOT hard. Oh yes, and we are no longer in the age of safety pins to hodl diapers together. Velcro is the 21st century choice (you don't now how many people have told me they wouldn't use pins - ??)

Costs could be offset by not needing more trash service, also.

My PSA on diaper services...
