Great fit and absorbency
I love these nappies! I was a bit nervous about trying reusables, especially after having a go at another brand which I was continuously getting leaks around the leg with. My daughter is long and slim and these nappies are perfect and so easy to adjust! I have never had a leak problem and would highly recommend Designer Bums to all my mum friends 🧡
PATRICIA
Great quality and gorgeous prints!
Fantastic quality that LASTS for multiple children. They're also such a cost saver over time. I love all of the beautiful prints. Easy to wash, and great for the environment too. I cannot recommend their nappies enough! Thank you DB!
ASHLEIGH
Swim Nappy
Perfect swim nappy. Easy to put on and off my 4 month old for the beach/pools. I would recommend to anyone! And bonus bright and colourful print!
JESSICA
Luxe, soft, and beautiful print!
We use these wipes every meal, for messy hands and mouths, and are so happy they’ve been restocked- our previous wipes have lasted 7+ years, and we wanted some new prints!
REBECCA
Something I didn’t realise I needed until I tried them!
Super comfortable nursing pads with great absorbency that stay in place really well. I didn’t realise how much I needed them until I tried them. Easily the best nursing pads I own!
PHOEBE
Easy to wash and use
These change mats i’ll probably my most favourite product for Bub. I have one in my car on the go and one in my nappy caddy for around the house. It’s just perfect to whip out and use and easy to wash.
SOPH
Brilliant as always
Brilliant as always. Please keep up the pads. Will be telling my friends.

Cloth nappy questions
How will using cloth nappies save me money?
Using cloth nappies saves approximately $2,000–$3,000 from birth to toilet training compared with buying disposables. The savings multiply if you use the same nappies for your next baby, and you save more again with cloth wipes.
How many nappies should I buy for full-time use?
We recommend 24–36 nappies for full-time daytime use, depending on how often you wash and how long they take to dry. For the best rotation and drying times over the long term, 36–40 nappies is ideal.
I'm not sure if I want to do cloth yet. Where should I start?
Starting cloth doesn't have to be all or nothing. Lots of families use cloth part-time. You'll need about 6–9 nappies for a full day. Our 3 Nappy Trial Packs are an easy way to try before you commit.
How do I wash my cloth nappies?
To keep your Designer Bums nappies in the best condition, read the care and washing instructions before first use. You'll find everything in our Care Instructions.
Can I use Designer Bums nappies at night?
Our One-Size-Fits-Most can be boosted with a trifold for night, but many customers use them overnight with extra boosting. Our Large Nappies with extra inserts work well for nights especially for heavy wetters.
How long will my nappies last?
Like any clothing, cloth nappies don't last forever, but with the right care Designer Bums nappies are built to last through your growing family. Many are passed down to the next baby or resold pre-loved.
A brand I loved. A purpose I believe in.
Meet Elysia, the mum behind DB
Before I became the owner of Designer Bums, I was a mum who loved using their products Now, I’m proud to carry that story forward, by helping families embrace reusables and bringing a little beauty to the everyday moments of parenting.
