One of the reasons why people don't try real nappies (apart from being bombarded with free throwaway samples and money off coupons) is that they envisage piles of terry towelling squares, huge safety pins, smelly buckets and a pot of boiling nappies on the stove! This is not what is involved.

See how even the most expensive "Rolls Royce" of real nappies will save you at least £600 per child.
  • New real nappies are shaped to fit baby and close with velcro, poppers or ties, NOT safety pins
  • Used with a waterproof cover they don't leak!
  • They are used with biodegradable liners which flush down the toilet so sluicing is mostly a thing of the past (unless baby is not yet on solids or is ill and may have the runs).
  • All the nappies can be washed on a 40-60 degree cycle and can be tumble dried (except some of the covers).

The hardest part about using real nappies is finding the style that is right for your baby and you. The Bristol Real Nappy Information Service recognises that people and especially new mothers won't have the time to source the perfect nappy, so we've done the hard work for you by collecting samples from real nappy companies for you to look at and compare.
