Using Real Nappies not only reduces the amount of waste you use, it also encourages us to reuse by laundering.

More and more parents are saying no to disposable nappies as they realise that cotton nappies are a natural, easy to use and cost effective alternative to disposable nappies – and they don’t cost the earth!

It’s a fact

• In Wales a staggering 200 million disposable nappies are thrown away every year – that’s almost 500 every minute!
• It takes hundreds of years for a disposable nappy to biodegrade in our diminishing landfill sites
• Families with one baby could cut their waste in half by choosing to use cotton nappies.

Its now time for Real change!

Real (cotton) nappies are:

• Natural -mainly made up of natural fibres with no chemical gels or paper pulp
• Easy to use - velcro or popper fastenings mean no pins are needed
• Easy to Wash - no need to soak or boil – just wash at 60°C. Biodegradable liners can be thrown on to your home composting heap or flushed down the toilet
• Cheaper - save up to £500 for your first child. Many nappies can be used for more than one child, giving even greater savings!
• Fun - Real nappies come in a wide variety of designs and fabrics from funky dinosaur prints to colourful rainbow patterns.
