2. How do I wash and care for reusable nappies?

  • Answer: Washing is simple! Rinse any solids, then wash in a warm cycle with gentle detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, and line dry or tumble dry on low heat for longer-lasting nappies.

3. How much can I save by using reusable nappies compared to disposables?

5. What are the environmental benefits of using reusable nappies?

  • Answer: By choosing reusables, you’re reducing landfill waste, saving up to 500 disposables per child per year. Organic materials like bamboo and cotton are kinder to the environment, and each nappy can be used again and again, helping conserve resources.

  • Answer: You don’t need anything fancy; just a gentle, fragrance-free detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce absorbency.
