  • 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.

    A recent study showed a saving of at least £1,000 Clean Green Nappy Blog

    And there is an another saving: some nappies can be used for more than one baby - as a rule 2 part systems are more durable than pocket nappies.
