The benefits of reusable nappies

1.Cost Savings: While the initial investment in reusable nappies may be higher than buying disposable diapers, in the long run, cloth nappies save a significant amount of money. One baby can cost around R30 000 in single use plastics.
2.Environmental Friendliness: One baby will produce almost one ton of single use waste. Cloth nappies produce about 1.9kg per baby.
3.Healthy development: Using cloth nappies helps encourage babies’ hips into a favorable position for healthy development.
4.Little to no leaks: Disposables are known to often leak. Cloth nappies are super absorbent and if used correctly, will never leak.
5.Reduced risk of nappy rash: Rashes are few and far between when using cloth and if they occur, are more often caused by things like teething or thrush.
6.Healthier for baby's skin: Our fabrics are gentle on a baby`s sensitive skin. They are less likely to contain harsh chemicals or fragrances that can cause irritation or allergic reactions.
7.Easier potty training: Babies can more easily feel when they are wet compared to the super-absorbent materials used in disposable diapers, where they always feel dry.
8.Resale value: Our preloved nappies are sold at very good prices allowing parents to recoup some of their initial investment by selling them secondhand.
