CottonTails is proud to be Northwest Louisiana's only diaper service and retailer of cloth diapering supplies! To date, our customers have kept over three tons of trash out of the landfill by choosing cloth over disposable diapers!

Why we chose cloth.

Every year, 18 billion disposable diapers end up in landfills where they slowly decompose for up to 500 years.

Every week, parents literally throw away $18-25 on disposable diapers.

Every day, most babies spend 23 hours in disposable diapers—paper underwear lined with petroleum-based synthetics and chemicals like sodium polyacralate.

When we learned that we would be parents for the first time, like many new parents we threw ourselves into research. Obviously, the first line of research began with how to provide the healthiest possible environment for mother and child. As reality sank in, the question of costs, both literal and figurative, inevitably arose. The two concerns met, literally, at the bottom line… diapers.

For the reasons stated above and many others found on this site, we chose to use cloth diapers. We can’t imagine why any parent who knows the facts would not want to do the same.

Our service will provide you and your baby with a weekly supply of clean, natural cloth prefold diapers, along with everything else you need. Our cleaning process--using an Energy Star-certified, NSF-certified, large-capacity, high temperature washer and bleach-free, dye-free detergents recommended by the RDIA--will ensure the best possible diapering solution for both your baby and your planet.

Every single clean diaper you receive weekly will have gone through our hands. If we wouldn’t put it on our baby, we wouldn’t want you to put it on yours, and each week we send one of our diapers to an independent lab to ensure that it is in compliance with the highest diaper industry standards.

We are proud members of the following organizations:
