Why use reusable nappies


We are constantly being told that we should reduce waste but do reusable nappies help? The answer is yes! There are lots of benefits to using reusable nappies:


  • the average child has its nappy changed 5000 before potty training and in that time you could spend up to £1000 on disposable nappies

  • reusable nappies cost on average a third of the cost of disposables

  • 4% of all household waste is disposable nappies

  • 8 million disposable nappies go to landfill in the UK every day

  • using reusable nappies could reduce a household's waste by half

  • many county councils offer incentives for you to switch to reusable nappies

If you are still unsure, you can purchase trial packs of reusable nappies before commiting yourself. So why not give it a go?
