Welcome to a Cleaner, Greener Bexley with Real Nappies for London
At Real Nappies for London, we are passionately committed to creating a more sustainable and environmentally conscious Bexley. Our purpose is to inspire and actively encourage people to embrace reusable nappies as a smarter, healthier, and eco-friendly choice, leading the way towards a greener future for both the present and future generations to come.
Why Choose Reusable Nappies
Better for Baby
Breathable soft natural fabrics, which are comfortable and gentle on your baby’s skin.
Reduce Waste
By using just one reusable nappy a day instead of a disposable nappy, you will save 912 disposable nappies from incineration.
Save Money
Using reusable nappies full time over 2.5 years can save you on average £488. Further savings can be made if the same nappies are used on a second child.
