                                     …modern reusable nappies

No doubt you want the best for your children. To achieve this we must pass on a healthy environment to them. Reusable nappies have many benefits:
• for parents (cost)
• for babies (comfort)
• for the environment (less waste)
Modern reusable nappies are shaped and fit like disposables;
there is a wide selection of nappies available made from natural fibres which are more comfortable next to a baby’s skin.

Nappy facts:

• They are easy to use and there are no pins!
• They can save you money (up to £500).*
• They come in funky designs with matching accessories.
• They only need a 60°c wash and will line dry
or tumble dry.
• Nappy washing services may be available in your area. They deliver clean sterile nappies to your door and collect the dirty nappies. (Contact nappyline**)

Did you know?

• Britain throws away 8 million nappies a day.*
• Nappies make up half of the rubbish from a
household with just one baby.
• Nappy waste costs Devon taxpayers over
£1.5 million per year.
• Disposable nappies can take hundreds of years
to decompose.
• Washing reusable nappies doesn’t take a lot
of effort. A 60°c wash with your usual
non-biological detergent is all that is needed
to keep nappies clean and hygienic.

You could start your collection off with a few reusable nappies and a soft, breathable cover. Supplement these with your usual disposables and as you save money, put that aside to increase your reusable nappy collection. Within a few weeks you won’t have to buy another disposable.
