You will save money if you use washable nappies
If you spend on average £5 a week at the supermarket on disposable nappies for two and a half years (130 weeks), you will spend £650. That's 4,500 nappies at 14.4 pence each.
If you buy 'eco-disposables' at £17 per week you will spend £2,210. That's 4,500 nappies at 49p each.
If you buy washable nappies you may spend between £120 and £300 depending on the system you choose.
You will spend about £1 per week on washing, so add a further £130.
If you use disposable liners you will spend on average £2.50 per month, so add a further £75.
In total you will spend between £325 and £505 on washable nappies from birth to potty.
