Permanent Diaper Relief, Inc.
We are a non-profit organization in Tulsa, Oklahoma, aiming to provide permanent diaper solutions to families through cloth diapers and cloth diaper cleaning services.
About Us
What We Do
Diaper Assistance. PDR’s first step in providing a permanent diaper solution is to assist families with 40 reusable cloth diapers, per baby.
Diaper Rentals. If a family would rather be provided brand-new diapers, they can rent them through Permanent Diaper Relief at a fraction of the retail cost. Once rented, they can utilize our diaper cleaning service, or wash the diapers themselves.
Cleaning Service. Both the Diaper Assistance Program and the Diaper Rental program are compatible with our diaper service, which is based on a free to sliding-scale fee model. It’s the perfect solution for families who are overwhelmed with another load of laundry each week, or for families who do not have an accessible laundry facility. Families who already own a cloth diaper stash can also utilize this service by clicking the link below.

News
Recent Causes
COVID-19 Pandemic
In the beginning stages of the COVID-19 Pandemic, many families were unable to afford and/or find diapers in the grocery store aisles. Founder of PDR, Madelaine Martin, donated almost 400 diapers to families in crisis, thanks to the community’s contribution of gently-used cloth diapers and monetary donations. Each child received 10 diapers, which was enough for a day’s worth of diaper changing and one small load of laundry per night. Because her last outreach impacted so many lives in the Tulsa community, Martin was fueled to continue these efforts in the form of the nonprofit organization, Permanent Diaper Relief.
Diaper Need Awareness Week 2020
The National Diaper Bank advocates for Diaper Need Awareness Week each September, intending to educate the community about diaper need in the USA and rallying up similar organizations to promote diaper assistance throughout the country. From September 21 to September 27 2020, Permanent Diaper Relief hosted a week-long event to educate the Tulsa community about diaper need, cloth diapers, and how our organization permanently ends the diaper need through cloth diapers.
