If you have already decided that you want to cloth diaper the next thing to think about is do you want to wash the diapers yourself or do you want to hire a diaper service. I wash my son's diapers but my Aunt chose to use the diaper service for her three children. Most diaper services provide you with a certain amount of diapers which they pick up once a week and give you clean diapers for the coming week. The diaper service in my area charges a weekly fee but you must commit to 1 month. A diaper service is great for those who want to cloth diaper but do not have a washing machine or a dryer. It is also a good option for people who are busy and do not have the time to wash diapers themselves. Or some people are just grossed out by the idea of putting the dirty diapers in the same washing machine as their clothes. With diaper services you must purchase and wash your own diaper covers. Diaper services cost more than washing the diapers yourself... you are paying for convenience.
Washing the diapers yourself is really easy. I chose to wash my own diapers because it was a lot cheaper than using the diaper service. And I didn't like the idea of using a diaper that was used on someone else. If I wash my own diapers I can control what kind of detergents are used too. I must say that if I didn't have a washing machine I probably would have used the diaper service.
