Modern nappies are reusable, washable garments made from materials with water repelling or absorbing fabrics such as bamboo or hemp (just to name a couple).
They’re shaped the same as a disposable, fasten with either press studs or velcro around the waste and contain elastic in the leg areas to contain messes.
But, what are the benefits of using reusable nappies? Well, here are five.
Newborn babies need about five to eight nappies daily, meaning a pack of disposable nappies will only last around a week. On average, you will spend around $25 a week on disposable nappies. In one year you you will find yourself spending thousands on nappies.
As the average child becomes toilet trained around 2-3 years old, the amount you spend on disposable nappies will just keep going up as they grow and learn. So, by using reusable, sustainable nappies, you are saving thousands on the cost of nappies.
Modern nappies come in a variety of styles but they are basically the same shape as a regular disposable nappy. They have either velcro or press stud-closing tops with no safety pins required.
They can be ‘sized’ (newborn through toddler) or can have a one-size-fits-most situation. Some come all in one with absorbent layers included in the nappy or you can even easily add boosters.
Once a washing routine is established, they are simple to clean. Breasted baby’s poo washes right out in one cycle. Once the baby is on solids you flick the poos of into the toilet, use disposable liners or spray.
Modern nappies are much better for the environment. Disposables can take 200-300 years to complete decompose in landfill, with the average baby contributing a massive 700kg of used nappies to the tip.
Some people argue that the extra electricity and water used to wash cloth nappies increases their environment impact. However, the amount of water and electricity used to wash reusables is much less than what is used to produce disposable nappies.
