The Real Nappy Campaign is a UK-wide campaign which promotes the use of reusable nappies and provides impartial information and advice about choosing real nappies to parents.
Why should I use Real Nappies?
Real nappies are:
- Natural - 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 - Real nappies come in a wide variety of designs and fabric
- Health Benefits - The bulky Real nappies ensures that the hips are kept the right distance apart, by alleviating conditions such as "Clicky Hips"
- Potty Training - Generally, babies potty train earlier when in Real nappies as they make the connection between a wet nappy and needing to go to the toilet
