We make cloth diapering easy! Less waste less guilt
Whether you’re looking for a local full-service provider or need quality cloth diapers at home, Diaper Stork has a solution. Save time by choosing our weekly pickup and delivery service; save $$ by renting or purchasing a cloth diapering bundle for home washing.
Babies go through 6,000 diapers, making disposable diapers the third largest single consumer item in landfills. We’re here to help make your sustainable choices more convenient and worth the extra effort.
How the service works:
1. You’ll receive 100% cotton diapers, a diaper bin, cute covers and cloth wipes.
2. Toss the dirty diapers in the bin. No rinsing!
3. Each week, dirties go in our reusable bags and our driver swaps them out for a clean set.
Boost your diaper IQ! Join our free virtual Cloth Diaper 101, Infant Potty Training and Toddler Potty Training classes.

Diaper Stork is a mom-owned cloth diaper service and boutique enabling parents to make conscientious choices for their babies and their communities.
