Real nappies are healthier and easier to use than
you may think.
Modern real cotton nappies are shaped, fitted, and fasten
easily with velcro, poppers or ties.
They can be used with waterproof covers which hold the nappy in
place.
They are machine washable in a 60C wash and there is no need for
boiling, scrubbing or even soaking.
Biodegradable paper nappy liners can be used with the cotton
nappy and hygienically flushed down the toilet so the waste goes
into the sewerage system instead of open rubbish sites.
Real nappies are fashionable and come in a choice of styles,
patterns and sizes. For further information visit our
types of real nappies page.
Local nappy laundering services collect dirty nappies and
deliver clean ones to your door. You could start with a month's
trial.
There is no evidence to support claims that disposables can help
prevent nappy rash. Not changing the nappy frequently is the main
cause of rashes.
Real nappies support newborn hips in the best position to aid
hip development.
Real nappies protect tumbling toddlers' lower spines, cushioning
any falls.
Babies who wear real nappies may be easier to potty train as
they are more aware of their bodily
functions. |
