Washable Nappies Are Best for the Environment
It's official. A new governmet report comparing the environmental impact of reusable versus disposable nappies has concluded that reusable nappies are up to 40% better for the environment than their disposable counterparts. The key finding of the report shows that the environmental benefits are achieved by following simple washing guidelines like:
avoiding tumble drying nappies
using A-rated appliances and
washing in full loads at no more than 60 degrees
These are all measures we recommend and are commonly used by parents . The report highlights that unlike disposables, washable nappies put parents in control of the impact they have on the environment. Parents using cloth nappies will also be financially better off. It has long been known that real nappies save parents hundreds of pounds and now this advice on washing methods, which are supported and promoted by the NZ Nappy Alliance, will help reduce fuel bills too.

Nappies Nappies and more Nappies!!
Modern Cloth Nappy Information
Thank you for taking the time to come along and look at my blog. I hope that the information I will pass on to you will help you make the right decision for you.
There is a lot to take in so it's often useful to have the information all in one place to refer back to.
Those of us who are familiar with cloth nappies often forget that the jargon can be very confusing and intimidating to start with. This can cause people to think that it is all too hard so they decide to stick with disposables. It pays to remember that cloth nappies are not harder than disposables, as some would lead you to believe, they are just different. We have been so educated through advertising media about the ease and convenience of disposables that the world has passed by the fact that cloth nappies have evolved and there are easy, convenient cloth options available. And as I have said today, there are huge benefits to using cloth nappies - your baby's comfort, the environment and your pocket!
In order to make the right choice you need to consider your needs and preferences. For example you may prefer your baby to be in nappies made from man made / synthetic fabrics or perhaps you would rather use more natural fabrics. Personal preferences are important to consider to ensure you get the nappies that will fit into your lifestyle. This information I am going to provide to you will hopefully help you decide what is most important to you when choosing a nappy.
If you have any questions you need answering or if you get overwhelmed please just ask and I will be happy to help you. Also if you have any suggestions or information you think I have missed out, please contact me directly as I would love to hear from you.
Happy Nappy Hunting
