Cloth Nappies Information

Modern cloth nappies are made from soft breathable cotton. They are shaped, fitted and velcro-fastened, with no need for pins.  With a variety of styles and patterns to choose and removable biodegradable liners they are the smart choice for today's environmentally-aware parent.

Cloth nappies are naturally soft and kind to your baby's skin.  They also help to advance potty training as your baby feels the wetness.   You will use about 6,000 nappies before your baby is fully potty trained. 

3 billion disposable nappies are thrown away every year in the UK.  That's 8 million a day!  90% of disposable nappies end up in landfill sites.

A third of a million disposable nappies are buried in Essex landfill sites every day.  They can take up to 500 years to decompose and the chemicals released from them impacts on the local environment.

Be kinder to your baby's skin. Save money. Save waste.  Help your environment. Use cloth nappies.
