REAL LIFE REUSABLES

HELP ENCOURAGE MORE PARENTS MAKE THE SWITCH TO REUSABLE NAPPIES

We would love parents to get involved in #RealLifeReusables to share the love of reusable nappies. If you are a parent or parent-to-be read on!

THE PLASTIC FACTS

A child will use at least 4,000 single-use nappies in the first 2.5 years of their life. Switching to reusable, washable nappies can significantly reduce a families consumption of plastic.

Small Changes, Big Difference

 

 

Using just one reusable nappy a day over 2.5 years will save 912 disposable nappies going to incinerator or landfill

 

  • Modern designs make using, washing and drying easy
  • Saves you money
  • Soft and absorbent breathable materials against babies skin
#RealLifeReusables provides a platform for parents to share the real life experiences and benefits of using reusable nappies, offering messages of support and encouragement to help more parents make the switch and reduce a baby’s single-use nappy waste. If you have not yet started or if you are completely new to reusable nappies and want to know more about using them, then this campaign is also for you. We want to hear from as many parents as possible across social media, whether they have started or not.
 

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO GET INVOLVED

  • Share on social media why you love using reusable nappies, any tips or recommendations to support and motivate parents new to reusable nappies.
  • Share on social media that you are starting to use reusable nappies on your baby in July. #PlasticFreeJuly
  • Let others know that you have redeemed a Real Nappies for London Reusable Nappy Voucher. Refer a friend to help them get started.
  • Write to your Local Council and MP using the Nappy Alliance template to encourage the uptake of a reusable nappy incentive scheme in your area if there isn’t one. Share on social media to encourage more people to do so.
  • Share information about your local Cloth Nappy Library or Nappy Network.
  • Recommend a local or favourite reusable nappy retailer or manufacturer. We have a list of suppliers on our website.
  • Share that you’ve used and recommend a washable nappy laundry service.
  • Let people know that you have good quality, no longer needed, reusable nappies to pass-on to friends, family members or colleagues who are expecting or currently have a baby in nappies.
  • Where possible volunteer your time and expertise to help support those promoting the benefits of reusable nappies.
