🌿 Did you know? 🌿

Modern cloth nappies aren’t just one type, there are several different styles to suit different babies and families 👶

In our kit, you’ll find:
✨ All-in-ones (easy, just like disposables)
✨ Pocket nappies (you can customise absorbency)
✨ Two-part systems (super absorbent for nights)

There’s no “one size fits all”, and that’s the beauty of it 💚

Trying a mix helps you find what works best for your baby, your routine, and your washing schedule.

Curious to give it a go? Our nappy kits let you try a range without committing 💫

🚿 Washing Reusable Nappies — It’s Easier (and Cleaner!) Than You Think 💚

One of the biggest worries people have about reusables is… washing.
“How do you deal with the poo?”
“Won’t it ruin my washing machine?”
“Isn’t it unhygienic?”
“Won’t I be doing laundry all the time?”

Let’s set the record straight 👇

💩 Dealing with poo
If your baby is exclusively breastfed, the poo is water-soluble — you can put nappies straight in the machine.
Once solids are introduced, simply tip or rinse solids into the loo first. Many parents use a liner to make this even easier.

🧼 Your washing machine is safe
Washing nappies is no different to washing other soiled laundry — think baby sick, muddy football kits, or pet bedding. Modern machines are designed to handle it all.

🦠 It’s hygienic
A proper wash routine with detergent at the right temperature leaves nappies fresh and clean. No lingering smells, no bacteria — just ready to use again.

⏱ Not a huge time drain
You’ll usually do 2–3 extra washes a week. That’s it. The machine does the work while you get on with your day.

Reusable nappies are modern, simple, and nothing to fear — once you’ve tried washing them, you’ll wonder why you ever worried!

"I tried them… they didn’t work for me."
We hear this a lot — and it’s completely understandable.

Many parents try one or two types of reusable nappies, have a negative experience, and stop there. But here’s the thing: there are lots of different types and brands out there.
🍼 Different babies suit different nappies
⏳ Some are quicker to dry than others
💪 Some offer stronger containment
🙌 Some are easier to use day-to-day

It’s no surprise people don’t buy loads of different styles to experiment with — they’re not cheap!

That’s where our Nappy Library comes in. 💚
We give you the chance to try a range of brands and styles at an affordable cost, so you can see what works best for you and your baby — and feel confident when you buy your own.

"They're so expensive!"

Did you know... the lifetime cost for the 5000+ nappies a baby needs in its lifetime is around £750-1750. Plus, add on top of that single use-wipes and nappy bags around £150-300 in a baby's lifetime.

Eeek… Thankfully, reusable nappies are a great alternative, particularly if you buy second hand. We provide discount codes for the purchase of new nappies too.

Price:
🧷 Full kit (20-25) of modern cloth nappies: £250–450 new or £80–200 if you buy second hand!
🚽These last from birth until your little one is potty trained
🔁 Reuse for siblings = huge savings (these nappies can be used for several children in their lifetime!)
🧼 Washing costs (water, detergent, energy): Estimated £1–£2 per week = ~£150–300 over 2.5 years

Despite the common myths, reusable nappies save the planet, save you money, are easy to use, comfortable for your baby, and look cute.
