The benefits of Real Nappies


Did you know that every year, a massive 3


billion disposable nappies are thrown away in the UK, 90% of


these are landfilled. A baby in disposables will need about 4,000 nappy changes in total, so that’s 4,000 disposable nappies in a landfill site!

to). Some even come with the waterproof cover built in so are as simple to change as a disposable nappy.


Forget soaking nappies in a pail of water as the modern, easy way is to dry store dirty nappies in a lidded bucket until they are washed in the machine at 40°c with nappy sanitizer. Using a mesh liner in your bucket means you can lift the mesh with the nappies in it out of the bucket straight into the machine. With most washing machines having a decent spin, many nappies come out the machine feeling almost dry and although nothing beats hanging cloth nappies on the line outside to dry, indoor drying on clothes rails or tumble drying is fine too. Alternatively, you could use a local nappy laundry service to make life even easier!
