When you begin service, you will receive a
full week's supply of unbleached DSQ Prefolds. Additionally, you will receive a diaper pail, two reusable diaper pail
liners, two Snappi fasteners, deodorant disks, and anything else you need to begin diapering your baby in clean, natural cotton.
During the week, you will simply
drop soiled diapers into the diaper pail—no soaking, rinsing, or pre-cleaning of diapers is required. On
delivery day (or the night before), remove and close the reusable pail liner from the pail and place it outside for pickup.
When we pick up the dirty diapers, we will leave a cleaned liner containing the next week’s supply of diapers.

Our basic diaper package ($20/week) |
Our basic diaper package can be purchased
for a flat weekly rate of $20, which includes as many diapers as you will need for a given week—guaranteed. You
will begin service with your first week's supply, meaning that you will always have a supply on hand. Diapers come in
five sizes, and the number of diapers you will need will diminish as your baby grows. We will help you determine the proper
diaper size for you and your baby, but the following table shows the sizes along with the number of diapers you can expect
to receive.

Reduced diaper package (starting at
$12/week) |
At
CottonTails Diaper Service, we understand that good intentions don't always neatly mesh with reality, and sometimes parents
who choose cloth are not to able to do so for every diaper, every day. This may be the case if the baby splits time between
two houses, for instance, or if you use a daycare that does not accomodate cloth diapering.
Our reduced package
begins at $12, for which you will receive half the normal diaper allotment. With the reduced package, you will still
be able to purchase the optional wrap and wipe rental services, and you will also still be required to purchase the start-up
package.
Wrap Rental Service, Optional ($3/week) |
A Diaper Wrap (or Diaper Cover) is worn outside of the diaper and provides extra protection against
leaks. When you subscribe to our basic wrap rental service, you will receive 4 used new-born sized wraps—one of each
of the most popular and highly-rated wraps on the market. These 4 wraps include one Bummis Super Whisper Wrap, one Bummis
SuperBrite, one ProRap Classic, and one Thirsties Diaper Cover. Once your baby out-grows the new-born size, those first four will be replaced with the small-sized. Clients will
be responsible for cleaning the wraps themselves… generally leaks will wipe right up.
It is advised that you have 4-6 wraps on hand. Our optional Wrap Rental Service affords you the opportunity to try
different wraps before deciding which wrap works best for you and your baby. Once your baby begins to outgrow the small (generally
around 15-pounds), you’ll be ready to purchase the wraps that work best for you and your baby.
The first
month of the Wrap Rental Service is included as part of the Start-up Package
Cloth Wipe Rental Service, Optional ($4/week) |
This optional service will provide you with 50 clean reusable cloth wipes weekly. Simply drop the
soiled cloths in the diaper pail with the diapers, and we'll take care of the rest. We will also provide you with the
recipe for baby- and earth-friendly diaper wipe solutions. |
|
Start-up Package ($40 initial fee) |
Our basic start-up package will include a diaper pail, 2 reusable diaper pail liners, 2 Snappi
fasteners (which are used in place of pins), and three deodorant disks which are designed for use with the diaper pail we
provide. When we deliver your start-up package, we will also deliver your initial diaper delivery and wraps, and we will provide
you with all instructions you need. Once your subscription to our delivery service ends, the diaper pail and reusable liners
will be returned to us (along with diapers and wraps, if applicable).
Additionally, because Diaper Wraps are a
necessary part of cloth diapering, the $40 Start-up Package also includes a one-month subscription to the Wrap Rental Service. |
