Why Real Nappies?

Save money

It is estimated that using cloth nappies will save you in the region of £500 with your first child, and even more if used again for you subsequent children. You also have the option of selling them secondhand when you have finished with them, meaning you can save money that way too. Many councils offer incentive schemes such as cash back when you purchase your first reusable nappies. Click here to find out details of a scheme near you. Remember too that there is a good second hand market for cloth nappies. Once your children are out of nappies you can sell them on in order to get back some of the initial outlay.
