The benefits of real nappies

Healthy
Real nappies have to be changed regularly and therefore promote a hygienic routine. Natural nappies promote healthy skin along with washing the baby's bottom with water, feeding the skin with olive oil and avoiding harsh chemicals.

Easy
Modern washing machines make what was once a labour intensive chore, easy. Once used, nappies are stored in a bucket with a lid. When there is a machine load they are put through a cold rinse and then washed at low temperatures.

Save Money
Real nappies can save households a lot of money and prevent nappy rash. If money is an issue for a family a disposable nappy may be left on longer than it should be and can cause chronic nappy rash.

Zero Waste
Washable nappies create almost no waste. This saves councils a lot of money. That is why many boroughs are encouraging residents to use washable nappies by offering incentives such as the Real Nappies for London voucher.

Help potty training
Cotton nappies give important stimuli that can help a child potty and night train. They also give parents/carers the cues that enable them to choose the right time to help the child make this important step towards independence easy and fun.
