Nappies

Nearly 8 million disposable nappies are thrown away in the UK every day. That's a massive three billion disposable nappies every year! Most of these end up in landfill, where they could take hundreds of years to decompose.


Choose real nappies to reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfill sites. Real nappies are easy to use (no pins or complicated folding is required), reliable, comfortable and could save you over £500 when compared to buying disposables for the period of time your baby is in nappies.
