This is a great chance to get your hands on New Zealand’s favorite cloth diaper - Real Nappies, at a fantastic price.

Our Birth to Potty Pack is only $389 at the moment – that’s all the cloth diapers you’ll ever need guaranteed for 2 kids.  This is by far the best value pack of cloth diapers on the market!

Check out our Specials right here.

All the best!

It’s the all important question of which detergent can you use on your cloth diapers?  Well the Team at Real Nappies have scoured the globe and come up with an extensive list of detergents that you can and can’t use on Real Nappies Cloth Diapers.

Of course with Real Nappies prefold diapers being 100% cotton they are soooo easy to maintain and wash.  Our covers are also really easily to look after.   You can hot wash both cotton diapers and covers, no worries about special washing!  There are some ingredients however we suggest you never use on your cloth diapers or covers.

Back from the US and then a week and a half  later I was off to Melbourne for the final Parent and Baby Show of the year there.

It’s the same story in Australia as it was in the US – everyone was so surprised we guarantee our diapers for 2 kids. 

Melbourne is a great city and I’m so lucky I get to travel around so much spreading the word of the cloth diaper. 

Having said that there are lots of cloth diaper firms now, they seem to be popping up everywhere, far more than when we first started around 8 years ago.  So I guess I’m not the only one spreading the word on cloth diapers which is great news!

Heaps of people though like Real Nappies because of their simplicity.  As I’m sure you know there are quite a few different styles of cloth diapers out there.  The most complex being the one size fits all diaper.  So many people were coming up to me with such confused looks on their faces not knowing which diaper brand to choose.  I go ahead and show them Real Nappies and they just say “wow, that’s easy.”

Then I go on and explain our Birth to Potty Pack, the most comprehensive pack of diapers on the market, I get another “wow.”  Then I eplain the Two Child Guarantee then along comes the third “wow.”

Nine times out of ten it then becomes an easy sale.  To me it’s a no brainer – all the diapers you’re ever likely to need in one box plus they are guaranteed for two kids.

If anyone at the shows have any questions regarding our diapers compared to any other diapers I can always give them a reason why ours are better and believe me I am no salesman, but I really do believe in our product.

I believe we have the best product on the market but if you think it can be improved in any way or we can offer some other product please let us know.

Take care.

Hi All,

Our US trip turned out to be great!  We made lots of new friends/contacts in Louisville, Kentucky where we attended the ABC Kid’s Expo.  The expo lasted four days and by the time it had finished we were all pretty exhausted, including our two kids, Emily who’s 11 and Joe who’s 8.

Everyone we spoke to was really impressed and surprised at the fact we offer a two child guarantee on our diapers, plus at our Birth to Potty Pack which includes all the dipers you’ll need plus heaps of extras too!

After the show the kids and us took a little holiday.  We visited Las Vegas and then onto LA to do the Disneyland thing.  We all had a fantastic time and can’t wait till next year’s show.

Take care!

Drum Roll please…

Our new swim wraps design is finally decided – we have found some great new partners who will be making the swim diapers for us.  There will be two designs, and will have some awesome features:

• Adjustable to fit all sizes of babies
• Stretchy leg binding and soft gusset legs to help give you peace of mind when bubs is in the pool
• Wide velcro tabs for a quick and easy change

• Machine washable

These covers will hopefully be available from October.

Well it’s official – OUR BOOSTER PADS ROCK!

Are you tired of your baby waking up with wet PJ’s and wet sheets?  Well thank goodness for our amazing night time booster pads.  Made of cotton layers sandwiched between terry top layer and micro fleece bottom layer, our boosters are so effective you can all have a quiet, dry night.  Real Nappies Night Time Boosters are incredibly thirsty, versatile and are of excellent quality, the microfleece keeps baby dry and draws the moisture away from bubs skin.

OK, so you all know our diaper liners are awesome but did you know that they are made of 100% corn fibers?

Corn? What the stuff that grows in fields?

Well not really, the formal name is PLA which is a polyester type material derived from renewable resources such as corn starch.As it is 100% biodegradable our liners can be flushed away* and can even contribute to your compost pile or worm farm!

Of course the fact our bioliners are environmentally-friendly is only one of the awesome benefits of using them (more…)

AND THE WINNERS ARE…..

Real Nappies has won GOLD in the “Best cloth nappy brand” section of the OHbaby Magazine awards.

OHbaby is the largest and most popular baby magazine in NZ, over 5,000 voters cast over 177,000 votes for their favourite products from botty-balm to baby carriers and even the best family car.

OHbaby! publisher Angela Pedersen says

“With such a vast array of products available, it can be overwhelming for new parents to know what to buy when they’re preparing for the arrival of a baby.  Our intention with the OHbaby! awards is to create a list of proven products and services as recommended by other New Zealand mums and dads, giving new parents confidence that they’re buying well”

Over 5,000 voters cast over 177,00 votes for their favourite products – from botty-balm, to baby-carriers and even the best family car.   Angela says

“such a big voting turnout gives real credibility to these awards.  Our winners should rightly be very proud of their win and shout it from the rooftops. What the results show us is that parents are discerning consumers. These aren’t necessarily the cheapest products on the market, but they represent quality and good value for money.“

There were 52 Gold Winners and 52 Silver Winners from each of the eight categories – Out & About, Play, Feed, Sleep, Babycare, Home, Shop and Maternity.    Over the coming weeks expect to see the OHbaby! winners logo appear on their packaging and advertising material as the winners promote their award.

Real Nappies‘ Director, Liz Mole says:

“We are absolutely thrilled with the result, we have been claiming to be New Zealand #1 Cloth Diaper for years so it was fantastic to finally be able to prove it be voted Gold Award winners.   Real Nappies Cloth Diapers are such a simple, easy system to use, they make using cloth diapers accessible to everyone – thank you New Zealand for voting Real Nappies #1 Cloth Diaper.”

Real Nappies cloth diapers are a 2-part diaper system made up of a strong, waterproof diaper cover, and a 100% natural cotton diaper.  An optional flushable diaper liner to flush away the solids makes clean-up a breeze.  Real Nappies cloth diapers are sold individually or in easy to buy packs.  Real Nappies, Liz Mole says:

“Our biggest selling product is the Real Nappies Birth To Potty Pack – this takes the guesswork and confusion out of cloth diapers – people grab a pack and know they have all the cloth diapers they need from birth to potty!  It’s excellent value and Real Nappies are the only cloth diaper company to guarantee their diapers to last through 2 children!  We are sure all this helped towards us claiming GOLD in the awards.”

Competition was fierce with many other well known cloth diaper brands in the running to the GOLD spot – but with so many loyal supporters of Real Nappies Cloth Diapers they made it happen for us!  THANK YOU FRIENDS!
