Parents can save cash and carbon at the supermarket checkout

New Zealand parents will be amongst the first in the world to have mainstream supermarket access to modern reusable cloth diapers, thanks to New Zealand company Real Nappies and major national supermarket operator Progressive Enterprises.

From next week consumers will be able to use their wallet power to reduce landfill waste by buying reusable cotton diaper packs from major supermarket chains Foodtown, Woolworths and Countdown throughout New Zealand.

This is in response to a groundswell of consumer demand as parents recognize that modern cloth diapers are a mainstream, cost-effective choice which are easier and more convenient than ever to use, as well as having other benefits.

We’ve put together 12 of the many reasons to choose Real Nappies cloth diapers versus other available cloth diaper systems:

1. Real Nappies is the most comprehensive pack available, it is a serious Birth to Potty Pack!  When checking out competitors make sure to look at actual pack contents, our pack gives enough for 24 newborn changes for example so it means 1 machine wash every 2-3 days per child. 
    
   2. Real Nappies or Pocket diapers?  Read the rest of this entry »

One thing I will suggest with Potty Training is don’t rush!  To be honest at 18 months to potty train is really early and the danger of potty training too early is your little one may revert back to diapers.  Having said that little ones train at different ages so here are a few signs to look out for and then go for it.  It may take a few attempts, but never push and if your littlie starts getting frustrated leave it a couple of weeks and then try again.  Many little ones when they hit the 2 year (or around that stage), they show an instant sign of wanting to potty train – showing an interest when you go to the toilet, or wanting to sit on the toilet or taking their diapers off.  Read the rest of this entry »

Boil Wash – no way!

Cloth diapers – swooshing them around the toilet, boiling the diapers, soaking for days…..  ARRRRGGGHHHH!

Not with Real Nappies!  We have developed our own solution down here in our little green New Zealand that eliminates the problem of needing to soak and totally abolishes the need to hot wash.  Read the rest of this entry »

3 days to dry diapers?  Not with Real Nappies!

Let’s face facts – who wants their diapers to take 3+ days to dry?  Have you got the time to wait this long?  Is your child that considerate with their pooing times that you have enough diapers to last you whilst the others are drying? Read the rest of this entry »

All our products have taken years to perfect and with fantastic partners around the globe we can present to you an excellent quality product that will stand the test of time.

Best Quality Cotton

Well we use only the best quality Cotton for starters.  Now that is no mean feat – our cotton diapers may look like a basic piece of cotton but believe you me they have taken years to perfect to get to the product we today can offer you.  There are so many different types and qualities of cotton, and the quality of machinists that sew them and the layers that go into them, plus the number of stitches per piece has to be perfect before they pass our rigorous testing.  To top it off Real Nappies Cloth Diapers have passed Oko-Tex testing (the much acclaimed European testing standards – please see other blog for more details).

I’m a real cloth diaper convert, I wanted to share with you my response to the question: Why have I converted to cloth diapers?

As a mother I share every parents concern for the welfare of their children and the world they will inherit. However, as a busy working parent with two children I also understand the pressure of just keeping up with day to day demands and the need for convenience and labor saving solutions.
