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!


Flushing nappies is a dirty business... Please don’t flush:

id you know we clear over 55,000 sewer blockages each year? And a whopping 75% of them are caused by putting the wrong thing down the toilet or sink!


When you’re buying those baby essentials and preparing for a new chapter in your life, we know where to dispose of all those dirty nappies is probably the last thing on your mind, but small changes can make a big difference.


Sewer blockages can lead to sewer flooding in your home, which can be very unpleasant, especially when looking after a new born baby. Only human waste, toilet tissue and a small amount of household cleaning products should be flushed down the toilet.
