Wake-up…to Cloth Nappies

‘Cloth nappies’ or 'real nappies' no longer has to mean terry towelling squares and pins.

Today cloth nappies come in a range of shapes, sizes and colours designed to suit your baby and your pocket.

They incorporate many of the convenient design features that you expect from a disposable, like fitted shapes and poppers or velcro ties, so they are easy to put on and take off - no more nappy pins.

They are also easy to wash. You can use a natural biodegradable liner which catches the solid waste – this can simply be flushed away. Then wash the nappy at 60oC and either line dry or use a tumble drier.

 

 

 

Real Nappy Report

The Environment Agency have recently release a 'Life Cycle Analysis' comparing cloth/real nappies to disposables. The report has been challenged by both WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) and WEN (Woman's Environmental Network).
