Dydee Diapers Unlimited

Dydee Diaper Service is the absolute best decision we made as new parents. The value, environmental aspects, comfort, ease, and customer service are unparalleled. I had never used cloth diapers before in my life. I didn’t know anything about them except that they were much better for the environment and, more importantly, much much better for the health of the baby. Our son has learned quickly when he is wet because he can feel it more easily with a cloth diaper. He will probably be potty trained earlier as well. The cloth diaper delivery is so amazingly convenient as new parents. It is also cheaper than disposable diapers! Dydee is the only reliable, firmly established diaper delivery service in the lower half of Michigan and northern parts of Indiana and Ohio. Don’t be intimidated if you are a new parent and or new to cloth diapers. You can watch one YouTube video and become a pro immediately. We chose the Velcro covers for our son because Deb recommended them, and they have worked perfectly. Dydee offers a number of other cover options, including snaps, which girl babies sometimes prefer. The covers are included in the cost of the service, and Dydee will switch out sizes as the baby grows. We have had only a couple tiny leaks… in fact, we had more leakage with the disposables at the hospital.
If you do a little research, you will find out that disposable diapers are full of toxic chemicals, including phthalates, PCBs, and a number of abrasive carcinogens, not to mention excessive pollution caused in the manufacturing process.
If you run out of cloth diapers in the middle of the week, Dydee will send you extra diapers at no charge through the US Postal Service. Also, remember that Dydee has a referral bonus for anyone who refers a customer that ends up signing up. Make sure if you have a friend that signs up that the friend gives your name, so you get a week of free diapers.
With all of the chaos and stress of a newborn, this will be the easiest and best decision you have ever made. Guaranteed.

Very easy, inexpensive (compared to disposables) and more earth friendly! Plus my now 1.5 yr old has NEVER had a diaper rash. Wouldn’t diaper any other way.

My kids outgrew diapers a long time ago, but I’m so glad to see families switching to cloth. It’s just as easy to use as paper diapers, and much more versatile. No midnight runs to the store because we ran out of disposables. It was not hard to convert my DH and his family that cloth was just as easy to use once they saw what was entailed.
I first used DyDee in 2000 and again in 2003, and their service was fantastic. For a very reasonable monthly fee, they provide unlimited diapers (they ship extras at no extra charge), a hamper, bag, and deodorant disks (although I didn’t like them because they were too strong-​smelling). They also rent out velcro diaper covers on the cheap. I’ve tried many different covers and AIOs, but the Proraps Dydee uses were always the best fit and highly durable. Because your baby will outgrow the newborn and small sizes very quickly, renting them is cheaper in the long run. Otherwise, buy the larger size wraps. Weekly pickup/​delivery was simple.
I also used the diapers as a changing pad, wipes, burp cloths, cleanups and DS2 has a few «retired» extras he uses as lovies (cheap & plentiful!). I saved a lot of money by having less trash and not having to buy as many wipes, and the dirty diaper container did not stink as much as disposables do (although DyDee says it’s ok to leave the stinkies with the diapers in the can, I always dumped them in the toilet anyway because the less poop, the less stink until pickup day). If the covers got soiled, I put them in a bucket with soapy water, dumped the dirty water in the toilet on laundry day, then washed the covers with the rest of the laundry. Easy, convenient, no mess and no stink! The Potty Training Guarantee was wonderful since both kids didn’t potty train until after they turned 3.

I can’t say enough about the customer service. They are simply the nicest people we’ve ever had to deal with in this context.
I would disagree with the previous reviewer that it is cheaper than disposables. That is *maybe* true with a newborn, but when they get older and the diapers/​day count goes down, the service is definitely more expensive.
Nevertheless, we found that it was worth it to avoid using disposables and because they treated us so well.
The only downside we ever encountered is that their (included) diaper covers weren’t the best, and certainly didn’t work well for our son. But you can give them back and get a discount on the service.

We had no interest in using disposable diapers for our baby, but we didn’t have a washing machine to wash cloth diapers. The answer was a diaper service.
It was the easiest thing in the world. Just for $ 20 a week (much, much less than disposables), we got a supply of cloth diapers and covers with velcro closures (for pinless diapering). Baby would dirty them, we’d toss them in a bin then leave it out on the porch once a week. They’d get picked up and replaced.
We just had to call if we needed more diapers and they’d send more. They also clean the diapers with non-​irritating detergents and everything is super-​sanitary.
Babies who use cloth diapers potty train earlier, so after a couple years of service and your baby isn’t potty trained yet, they keep your service going for free. Awesome. It makes a great gift, too. Think about it!
