The Real Nappy Project
> Real Nappies don't cost the Earth
> Cotton nappies are a natural, easy-to-use and cost effective alternative to disposable nappies
> Why choose anything else?
According to Sustainable Wales:
200 million disposable nappies are thrown away each year in Wales
No nappy is really disposable - once they reach landfill sites they could take up to 500 years to break down
What is the council doing?
As part of its ongoing waste reduction programme, Ceredigion County Council hopes to reduce this waste by encouraging parents to use reusable, washable "Real" nappies instead.
The Real Nappy Project aims to enable parents to make an informed choice about nappies. To help you choose the best nappy for you, we are offering you the chance to try a sample of real nappies for yourself free of charge!
All we ask in return is that you consent to the Council contacting you for monitoring purposes.
To claim your free real nappy pack telephone Ceredigion County Council on 01545 572572
It's time for a Real change
Real nappies are:

Mainly made up of natural fibres with no chemical gels or paper pulp. - Easy to use
Velcro or popper fastenings mean no pins are needed - Easy to wash
No need to soak or boil - just wash at 60C. Biodegradable liners can be flushed down the toilet - Cheaper
Save up to £500 for your first child. Many nappies can be used for more than one child, giving even greater savings! - Fun
