Wanted: Reusable Nappies (& info about them)


Recommended Posts

I am looking to try reusable nappies this time around and am looking for information and recommendations (positive and negative). Also looking to buy the nappies themselves so if you have any that you'd like to hand on / sell on then please do make contact.


Thank you in advance.

Hi,

We use Flip nappies by Bumgenius and I highly recommend this system. I was a bit bamboozled by the various types and trialled a few before settling on Flip ones. I have found this system works really well for us as we are short on storage and drying space and they aren't too bulky for the baby. Essentially you have a nappy wrap with an insert (staydry inserts during the day and organic cotton with booster at night). I add a hemp or bamboo booster during the day if I need the nappy to last longer. I have sourced nearly everything via Ebay at very good prices too. They do really nice limited edition patterns for their wraps too.

I also recommend looking at Cheeky Wipes for washable wipes. I use their box to store them, add a few drops of tea and boiled water.


One big positive aside from the sustainable and economical benefits is that you don't run out of nappies or wipes - as long as you do the wash :) I enjoy laundry so that hasn't been an issue but could be a negative. Another big positive is that washable nappies are fantastic for containment when babies aren't yet on solids. I only ever had a big poo explosion when we used a disposable.


As we have a small bathroom I opted for nappy laundry bags by Planetwise rather than a nappy bin. They have been washed countless times and their colours have still not faded.


Do let me know if you have any questions.

    • If you’ve got four quid spare, go and try one. Myself, I like the mozzarella and spinach, but there’s no accounting.
    • More of a Steak Bake kinda thing, then.
    • You might want to try the Peckham Facebook community group. I am located in East Dulwich & have 2 well-used scratchers: A large single post (ideal for an adult cat) & a small cat tree with 2 short posts (ideal for kittens) While the wear & tear is nowhere near as bad as the one shown in the link below, ideally the sisal should be replaced to get the best use out of it (& neutralise the scent of another cat) hence why I haven't donated these to a shelter. You may find this link helpful: https://thegreenmadhouse.com/diy/how-to-repair-your-cat-scratcher But you can just get a brand new one between £10-£30 on Amazon that'll last much longer. It all depends on what type of scratcher you're looking for; material, size, vertical or horizontal. Your little lion will let you know by whether they're currently scratching down or up, like a mat or armchair for example. More than happy to send location & leave in front garden for pickup.
    • Would happily take it off your hands! Preferably in Peckham. Thanks 🙏🏻
