New Rump•a•rooz G2 version in stock (May 13, 2009)
We now have the redesigned Rump•a•rooz G2 diaper in stock at Diaper Lab and think everyone should come look at the premium workmanship which has gone into these diapers! You can feel the extra softness of both the interior and exterior fabrics, the closures are in both high-quality snaps or real Velcro, and the inclusion of an inner leg gusset sets these diapers apart. A fourth snap setting was added, pushing the adjustment range down to fit a newborn with ease, and their 6•r soaker, included with every diaper, is easily adjustable and very thirsty! Try one today...we think you might find a new favorite!

Thanks to Everyone for a Great Grand Opening Celebration (November 16, 2008)
Diaper Lab wants to thank all of our customers and friends for joining us last weekend for our Grand Opening Celebration. We had a great turnout, and were thrilled to welcome so many people who are as excited about cloth diapers as we are, as well as those who were curious but not sure where to start. We gave away $1,000 in products and services which had been donated by our vendors and local merchants and want to thank all of them for their support as well.
If you missed the celebration, don't worry, we'll have more cloth diapering events at the store in the future, and of course come by at any time to see what all of the excitement is about!

A few of you have already stopped by to see our new retail location in Somerville, but if you've been waiting, wait no longer!

We are still planning a grand opening celebration in early November, so look for a date here in the near future!
Our current hours are Tuesday 10am to 6pm; Wednesday 1pm to 6pm; Thursday 10am to 7pm; Friday 10am to 6pm; and Saturday 10am to 3pm. We are closed Sunday and Monday.
Diaper Lab is Moving! (September 30, 2008)
With so much outpouring of interest in the new cloth diapers, and a storefront opportunity we couldn't resist, Diaper Lab is making the move to our very own retail shop at 201a Highland Avenue in Somerville. Our new location is near the Somerville Hospital and only a short distance from our old location at Twinkle Star! To help keep our expenses low we are relocating immediately, and we will be open for business on Friday October 3rd.
If you are desperate for an extra diaper before Friday, we can probably ring you up at the new location, but please call us at 617-504-0370 to make sure we're there first!
We look forward to seeing you in our new location after this Friday, and be certain to watch for an announcement of a big event in a few weeks to celebrate our move!
E-mail and Shopping Cart Outages (September 25, 2008)
[UPDATED 9/30] Because of the move to our new retail location, we don't expect to have online shopping back in service until Monday October 6th. However, if you are in the area, come join us starting Friday, October 3rd at our new retail location!
Wondering why you haven't heard from us recently? We've been having some serious technical difficulties recently, and have moved to a new hosting provider to address the situation. Luckily we will have e-mail back soon, but it will take us a bit longer to get our shopping cart back on-line.
If you have had difficulty e-mailing us, please try again.
Thanks for your patience and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
New Product Offerings (September 14, 2008)
While attending the gigantic ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas Diaper Lab was able to add several new vendors and products! We are excited that we will soon have diapers from Bummis, Kissaluvs, Rump-a-roos, and Bumkins.
We know many of you have been asking for Bummis and Bumkins, and we are very excited to be able to offer the fantastic wraps and covers from each. Kissaluvs is known for having a great fitted diaper for newborns which we will be stocking, and we are very excited by the Rump-a-roos one-size diaper which has been getting excellent reviews! All of our products are on order and we expect to see them in the next few weeks, so check back to see when they arrive on the shelves!

Diaper Lab is excited to announce the opening of our first retail location in the Boston area! We were lucky enough to be able to partner with the owners of the new Twinkle Star Baby Boutique in Ball Square, Somerville to provide area customers the largest retail selection of cloth diapers in the region. Cloth diapering products are available for sale whenever Twinkle Star is open, and we will have regular hours where a Diaper Lab diaper consultant will be available to talk about all of the great benefits of cloth diapers. One-on-one Diaper Lab consultations can still be scheduled for those interested in a personalized look at diapering options for their families.
