The benefits of real nappies

When you use real nappies, you are:

• helping to reduce the 8 million disposables that are thrown away to landfill every day in the UK
• saving £500 per baby against the cost of disposables
• able to chose from different funky styles, colours
• choosing natural fabrics

Real nappies no longer mean pins and soaking days. Easy-care, shaped ‘real’ nappies in natural or fleece fabrics, breathable wraps, poppers and Velcro are now the norm.
