we wash diaper service
eco-friendly, comfortable, local, and delivered to your door
why use a cloth diaper delivery service?
Babies go through 12 to 18 diapers per day as a newborn and 6 to 8 per day by toddlerhood—that’s 6,000 diapers in the landfill per child.
Diaper Stork believes in sustainable diapering, from the cloth diaper service we were founded on, to transforming disposable diapers from landfill fodder to nutrient-rich material that's good for the environment. Our diaper services offers convenience, peace of mind, and a consistent routine, especially when it comes to availability and cost.
why join our community?
Diaper Stork is committed to building a greener future by reducing waste one diaper at a time. For families, that effort also brings reliability. We make it easy for our community by delivering a combination of cloth and plant-based disposable diapers each week to members’ doorsteps.
Just leave out the used diapers, and we take care of the mess by professionally cleaning and composting dirty diapers locally.

"This diaper service is the way to go! We knew we wanted cloth diapers and started looking at services. Diaper Stork makes it so easy by picking up the bag of dirty diapers right from your doorstep and replacing it with a bag full of clean ones. Communication is quick and the weekly reminders are really helpful. I would recommend this service to anyone who is cloth diapering and looking for a service!"

“Cannot recommend Diaper Stork highly enough if you are considering sustainable diapering. When I got pregnant I knew I didn't want to fill landfills with thousands of diapers, and DS made it SO easy to do cloth diapering, and they do all of the pickups and laundering for you. There is also the option to purchase disposable diapers that they will commercially compost for you. On top of this, the customer service it top notch! Makes it so easy to have a baby and still care for our planet.”
how it works
- Your first delivery will be 1–2 weeks before your due date, or 1–2 weeks after you place your order if baby is already born.
- Diaper Time! Put dirty diapers directly in the pail. No dumping or rinsing. Cloth and disposables go in the pail together.
- On your delivery day, place the dirty diaper bag outside your door. Keep any clean diapers at home.
- Our driver will swing by and swap out a clean bag of diapers for your dirties each week.
what diaper size and quantity will i need?
We offer 5 diaper sizes and 3 cover sizes that cover from birth to potty training. The number of diapers you receive depends on your size and service level, and it's easy and commitment-free to switch among our service levels to meet your family's changing needs. If you need to change sizes, just let us know and we'll be out right away to deliver the new size to you. Easy!
what else will i need?
diaper covers
Covers are put over the cloth diapers to hold in place. They come in breathable, waterproof fabric called PUL, or natural wool fabric, and can be re-used multiple times until soiled. Your baby will go through three cover sizes in his or her diapering lifetime. You have three options:
Option 1: Cover Service
We provide 15 diaper covers per week (7 for half service) that you re-use until soiled, then throw in the pail with your dirties for us to wash. We start with newborn covers and size up as your baby grows.
Option 2: Cover Rental
We offer newborn size covers that have a cut-out for the umbilical cord and a tighter fit for those smaller babies. You'll wash these at home and return to us via your diaper pail when they no longer fit. Renting is a great way to avoid the upfront costs for covers that you use for a shorter time.
Option 3: PurchaseWe recommend having between 4 and 6 covers at home. Over the baby's lifetime, you will need at least two different size covers. We sell used and new covers in our online store. Many families rent 4 to 6 newborn covers from us, and then use their own covers after the newborn phase.
baby wipes
We offer 100% cotton flannel or disposable wipes, both of which can be thrown into the dirty diaper bin. We recommend using
Babybits solution in a spray bottle or a wipes warmer to wet cloth wipe prior to use.
wet bag
You'll use a
wet bag when you're on the go for holding dirty diapers; it can fit into your tote bag.
diaper closure
Snappis are the modern version of pins. These are optional, but good to have on hand as you discover your diapering preference.
rash balm
It is good to have a
cream or balm at home in the event that your baby develops some redness. Coconut oil is a great everyday preventive product.
our service area
Diaper Stork currently serves customers in the Seattle metro area from Olympia to Everett and the East side. We love to provide families with an alternative to disposable diapers and will always be assessing cloth diaper service demand outside of these markets. If you live outside of this area, we offer our cloth diapering system for rent or purchase. If you live outside of this area but would like to use our diaper service, we would like to hear from you! Email us.
Many of our customers live in apartment buildings, and we find that each situation is different. Ideally, we would have access to get inside the building (with a key or code) and swap the diapers outside your apartment main door. We can also leave diapers in the lobby or outside in a concealed spot. Please contact us to discuss the specifics of your building.
can i plan ahead?
Whether you’re knocking things off your own to-do list or helping a friend or loved one, Diaper Stork can get your service set up ahead of time
so your baby’s needs will literally be covered when they arrive. (Don't forget to
add us to your gift registry!)
-
Signup for combo diaper service, or one of our other guilt-free services, as early as you’d like in the pre-birth stage.
-
1-2 weeks before your due date, we’ll automatically deliver your first four weeks of diapers.
- At sign-up, you'll pay for the first 4 weeks of service and a one-time setup fee, but those first 4 weeks won't actually start until we pick up the first batch of dirties and begin weekly deliveries to your house.
