Diaper Service: An Opportunity for a Tulsa Business Venture

Since we opened, almost a year ago, I have had many inquiries about a diaper service. Diaper services were common place 50 years ago, but as disposables became available and grew in favor these services slowly dried up. Many states held on to a few of their services, not so with Oklahoma. Rumor has it that there was a diaper service about 5 or 6 years ago, but I have yet to confirm this with anything but hearsay. As today’s parents are becoming more and more conscious about the waste their baby generates, the health of their little bottoms, a need to reduce our dependence on oil and the wasteful usage of our trees, a need to reduce environmental contamination and carbon outputs created by the disposable industry, and the economical advantages of cloth they are seeking diapering alternatives. We are definitely witnessing a resurgence of the cloth diaper which is evidenced in green baby stores like Lundeby’s Eco Baby popping up all over the country and all across the web. New innovations to cloth diapers have made them much more user friendly, like the 
one size Econappi pocket diaper by Swaddlebees which is not only innovative and cute, but also the greenest pocket diaper on the market as it is made in the USA, the cotton is 100% unbleached, undyed, super soft organic cotton, it grows with your baby, and the dyes used on the PUL are water soluble. A shift is happening, but there are still many who would love to cloth diaper… if only there were a diaper service. Calling all entrepreneurs and diaper services, anyone interested in a new business or expansion? So where would you start if you were to begin a diaper service? An excellent place is the National Association of Diaper Services. I would call around to some of the services in other states and ask questions, I would be upfront and say that I saw a need and was thinking of opening a diaper service in Tulsa, Oklahoma and ask them what they did to get started and if they could offer any tips. I would also contact the National Association of Diaper Services directly and get as much information from them as possible. If you pick up this endeavor remember re-using is great, but re-using organics is even better!
