Reusable Nappy FAQ's

How many cloth nappies do I need?

For full-time use of reusable nappies we recommend approximately 24 in total, however you don't need this many to get started.

The best way to get started is to begin with a trial pack which includes 3 complete nappies to test the waters. Everything you need to begin your cloth journey can be found below.

What is the washing like with cloth nappies?

To get the best results from your nappies we recommend follwing these 4 simple wash steps:

Step 1: Dry Pail

Remove solid poo from the nappy, seperate inserts from the shell and place in your dry pail.
(Babies not yet on solids can go straight in your dry pail).

Step 2: Pre-wash cycle

Run a short wash cycle 40-60 degrees with half the normal detergent every 1-2 days. Remove from your washing machine and dry pail awaiting your main wash.

Step 3: Main-wash cycle

Run a longer main-wash cycle 40-60 degrees with detergent every 3-4 days.

Step 4: Hang to dry

Hang nappies to dry or use a clothes dryer on low heat.

But what about the poo?

If your child is not yet eating solid foods the poo is completely water soluble whether they are formula or breastfed.

As soon as your baby is eating solid food the poo needs to be removed from the nappy before washing, you can choose to use disposable liners which lay in the nappy and help with an easy clean up. You can find these below, or if you click HERE.

What are the financial savings of cloth nappies?

Babies will generally need around 6,500 nappy changes between birth and toilet training.

With the cost of electricity, water and detergent the use of cloth will save over $2,000 for 2 years of cloth nappy use, and even more of a saving with subequent children. A more indepth break down of all the costs can be found HERE.
