Real nappies are made of cloth and can be washed and reused over and over again..
Modern real nappies are soft, comfortable and come in various colours and patterns with easy to use fastenings.
How?
Real nappies consist of three parts:
-
The liner goes between the nappy and the baby. It lets the wetness pass through and catches the solids. There are liners that can be lifted out of the nappy along with the solid content and flushed away, and ones that can be washed and reused.
-
The nappy absorbs all the wetness.
-
The cover keeps the whole pack snugly together and leak-proof.
There is no need to soak or pre-wash nappies; they can be washed hygienically at home in a 60°C washing machine cycle.
For extra convenience, local nappy laundries offer weekly services that collect used nappies and provide a fresh supply of nappies, laundered to the highest standards, for the next seven days.
Why?
