Nappies - choose cloth!
Why choose cloth nappies?
Using cloth nappies reduces waste and lowers a number of environmental impacts - but choosing cloth nappies also limits the number of chemicals against babies' skin, can help prevent nappy rash and saves money! Modern cloth nappies have made reusable nappies a viable option for thousands of families – they’re easy to use and easy to care for and can be used full time, or part time in conjunction with disposables.
