About Us

"When I began researching cloth diapers, the choices were overwhelming, and there were no local retailers or comprehensive resources for cloth diapering information."

My name is Salina Gonzales Frazier and my husband, Ryan Frazier, and I are the owners of Diaper Lab in Somerville, Massachusetts (a suburb of Boston & Cambridge). We began cloth diapering both of our babies after our son was born and we realized that disposable diaper costs were over $100 every 3 weeks for two babies! Ryan and I were also unhappy with the environmental impact of our disposable diaper usage.

When we began researching cloth diapers, the choices were overwhelming, and there were no local retailers or comprehensive resources for cloth diapering information. We spent considerable time combing through websites and ordering cloth diapers online. With Sofia and Evan as our subjects, we experimented with MANY products, and amassed a shamefully large collection of cloth diapers!

Having accumulated this knowledge, we wanted to make it easy for other parents to learn about the wonderful benefits of cloth diapering. We were excited enough to create a local business to help fellow eco-aware and financially savvy parents. From this Diaper Lab was born!

In the immediate future, our store will be run out of our home, and will provide consultations to Boston-area families. Parents will be able to come in and learn about cloth diapering, feel the fabrics and try the diapers on their babies. This allows parents to choose what works best for their family’s lifestyle and to find the best product for their baby.

In addition to consultative appointments we will provide drop-in hours for parents to stop by, browse new products, and ask questions about diapering, laundering, or other topics. We are working to open an online store and will provide shipping for most products, but hope to emphasize local pick-up. Also in the works is a class for new parents, "Cloth Diapering 101."

So be sure to check back often, as we are in the early growth phase and new information will be added frequently! Thanks and we hope to hear from you!
