Real nappies

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 from natural fabrics
• Have disposable liners to catch any solid waste
• Fasten with Velcro, aplix, poppers, or use simple folds
• Can be washed on a 40-60 degree cycles
• Can save families 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

Real nappies free trial

In partnership with Renewi, we're offering residents in the Wakefield district the chance to trial real nappies for free!

You can apply for one pack per child under twelve months old.

It is with regret that the Council have had to suspend the real nappy initiative with immediate effect until further notice.
