Many people still believe that the only alternative to disposable nappies are the old fashioned terry nappies – nothing could be further from the truth.

Modern reusable or real nappies: 

• are easy to use
• come in a variety of shapes and forms
• are made of natural fabrics
• have flushable liners to catch any solid waste
• fasten with velcro/aplix, poppers or use simple folds
• can be washed on a 60 degrees cycle
• can save parents up to £500 on the first baby alone. This takes into account the costs used for electricity, washing powder and drying

...and of course, they are better for the environment.
