Why cloth nappies?
Good for the environment and your wallet!
Disposable nappies take up a lot of space in landfill and take a long time to break down – up to 550 years per nappy!
Using cloth nappies can save you up to $4000 per child. Even if you don’t use cloth nappies full time, eg. cloth nappies for daytime use and disposables when you are out and about, you can still make very worthwhile savings.
