Real Nappies – why use them?


here are many reasons why more and more parents are now using real nappies, here’s three benefits to start you off!


T • Good for babies’ skin


Made of natural breathable fabrics, real cloth nappies are kinder to a baby’s skin and don’t contain chemicals or absorbent gels.


• Helps the environment With one baby using 4,000 disposable nappies before they are potty trained, this results in more than 2.5 billion nappies being land filled in the UK every year – that’s a huge amount of land fill!


• Saves money Although the initial outlay may seem expensive,


the savings can be up to £800 per baby – wow! Plus, unlike disposables, they can be used for future children, saving you again.


But what about the hassle of washing them?


Modern real nappies are easy to clean – they can be stored in a lidded bucket until they are washed at 40°C with a nappy sanitizer.


Don’t they look a bit old fashioned and aren’t they difficult to use?


Nowadays, real nappies are modern, colourful and come in loads of great designs, for a really stylish baby . They also fasten easily with velcro poppers or plastic grippers - no safety pins required!
