What's in it for me?
The total cost of using real nappies can be half that of using disposables. Further savings can be achieved by using the same real nappies for your second or third child.
There is no need to soak or pre-wash nappies, just wash at 60oC. For extra convenience, local nappy laundries offer weekly services that collect used nappies and provide a fresh supply, laundered to the highest standards, for the next seven days all for a cost which is similar to that of buying disposables.

How Real Nappies save money
By choosing real nappies, you could reduce your household rubbish by half. This will help towards a big reduction in the number of disposable nappies buried in landfill sites.
At the moment about eight million disposable nappies are thrown away every day in the UK. Real nappies get used again and again. That's got to be a better way.
There's not a safety pin in sight with real nappies, so they're simple to use. They come in lots of modern and funky styles that fasten easily with poppers, velcro or nifty little plastic grips so the nappy fits your baby snugly. A biodegradable liner, that keeps your baby dry, goes inside the nappy and can easily be flushed away.
