New To Reusable Cloth Nappies
Full Time Cloth Nappy Use
If you intend to use Cloth Nappies full time, we recommend a ‘nappy stash’ of at least 24 nappies. This will provide you with an adequate amount if you wash every second day, but many of our customers find a comfortable amount to be around 36. Having more in your stash allows you the ability to extend the days between main washes, or to account for sickness or rain!
For full time cloth nappy use our 24 Nappy Pack ($701) or 36 Nappy Pack ($982) are great value and will have you covered from the get go! If you are interested in finding out the amount you’ll be saving by choosing to use reusable nappies, check out our Nappy Calculators here.
Part Time Cloth Nappy Use
If you are feeling a bit overwhelmed by the thought of cloth nappies, or want to ease into the process, starting out with part-time use is a great idea. Some parents choose to do cloth during the day-time, and disposable nappies overnight until they are comfortable with reusables. Even with part-time use you will be saving a huge amount of disposable nappies from entering landfill, and saving a ton of money on your weekly grocery bill.
For part time use our 12 Nappy Pack ($397) or 18 Nappy Pack ($561) are great options.
Where to start
We offer 3 sizes of reusable cloth nappies. Our OFSM (One Size Fits Most) Cloth Nappy is by far the most popular and versatile - it will fit most babies from birth to toilet training. To ensure that we cater to babies and toddlers of all sizes we have developed a Newborn Cloth Nappy which was designed to fit premature or very small babies (approx 1.5 up to 5kg). Our Large Cloth Nappies are great for larger toddlers or if you are experiencing extended toilet training with your toddler. They will fit children sized 15-23kg (approx) and are the equivalent of a disposable nappy size 5 or 6.
If you want to see and try out each size before comiting, our Ultimate Trial Pack contains one nappy of each size and is a great starting point.
Value Packs
We offer value packs to make the choice of Reusable Cloth Nappies a little bit easier to begin with - plus we have a large variety of payment options that will allow you to get prepared, and pay for your items in small instalments. The best thing about our Nappy Value Packs is that you get to choose your favourite prints, and the discount will automatically apply once the desired value pack quantity is in your cart.
