Why choose Real Nappies?
Using washable nappies will save you money, is kinder to your baby's skin and will greatly reduce the amount of rubbish you throw away. They are also much more comfortable for your baby and look nicer than disposables!
Using real nappies is really easy! Modern nappies washed in modern automatic washing machines do not need to be soaked or boiled. They definitely do not need to be ironed! Most are nappies shaped to fit your baby and fasten with Velcro or poppers (no folding, no pins!). Many are all-in-one so don't even need a separate waterproof cover“ they go on your baby just like a disposable but are made from soft, comfortable fabrics rather than scratchy paper.
Cost benefits
Using washable nappies could save parents hundreds of pounds on the cost of keeping one baby in nappies. Further savings can be made if the nappies are then re-used on subsequent babies or sold on. Visit my website for more details on this.
Health benefits
Disposable nappies are made using super-absorbent chemicals, paper pulp, plastics and adhesives. By using real nappies, parents have a choice over what goes next to their baby's delicate skin. The range of washable nappies available includes organic cotton, hemp and bamboo fabrics, as well as quicker-drying synthetic fibres.
Waste reduction
Nearly 8 million nappies are thrown away every day in the UK. That's nearly 3 billion nappies a year! Can you imagine that many nappies?? The vast majority of these end up in landfill sites. But only after they have sat festering in your bin for up to two weeks'.
We don't know how long it takes for the plastics in disposable nappies to decompose but it could take hundreds of years. Nappy disposal costs to local authorities run to in hundreds of thousands of pounds per year (paid for by taxpayers). Landfill space is running out.
Other environmental benefits
The 2008 Environment Agency's Life Cycle Analysis Report on nappies found that, used responsibly, Real Nappies can be 40% better for the environment than disposable nappies. The carbon savings are directly related to how you choose to wash your nappies, so you are in control of the impact your nappy use is having on the environment.
