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.

Ingredients to Avoid in your Washing Detergent

• Whiteners and Brightners (tiny particles that remain on your clothes making them seem brighter after washing.  These are not necessary and may cause
• Whitening enzymes (help dissolve stains but can cause skin reactions on sensitive babies)
• skin irritation)

• Fragrances and Dyes (Unnecessary chemicals for babies’ laundry)

• Bleach (harsh chemical against babies’ delicate skin)

• Fabric softener (leaves a residue on your diapers and will cause them to be less absorbent

Cheaper Detergent can be better for your Real Nappies Cloth diapers!

Cheaper detergents are less likely to contain any of the above additives that are best avoided.  Therefore you may be able to get away with a cheaper detergent to use on your cotton cloth diapers – saving even more money through using Real Nappies!!

TopTip: Remember to always use less detergent when washing cloth diapers – usually about 1/4 of manufacturers recommended amount, that way you will not build up a detergent residue on your covers which can lead to stinky, inaffective covers.

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.

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!

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:

• The perfect slim fit Swim Diaper for baby boys and girls
• Interior lining contains any accidents
• 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
• Soft terry toweling interior pad next to baby’s delicate skin
• Machine washable

These covers will hopefully be available from October.

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.

How to Use Real Nappies Night Time Booster Pads

• Simply pop the Booster Pad on top of your cotton cloth diaper
• Ensure the pad is micro fleece side up
• The pad should go next to baby’s skin
• Fasten cover and enjoy a leak free night!

How to Wash Real Nappies Night Time Booster Pads

• Remove any soiling on the Booster Pads (one of our flushable cotton diaper bioliners is ideal for keeping your Booster Pad clean).
• Rinse through your Booster Pad
• The Booster Pads can be soaked in the same way as your cotton cloth diapers, using Nappy Fresh
• If you are ready to wash straight away simply wash at cold or warm temperature using your ordinary detergent and an optional spoonful of Nappy Fresh to whiten and sanitize your Booster Pads
• Real Nappies Booster Pads can be machine dried if necessary

Using a different cotton cloth diaper brand or a Pocket Diaper?  No problem use Real Nappies Booster Pads with them too and be amazed at how absorbent they are.  We even get parents using our Booster Pads as a diaper for Preemie babies, simply use with our Newborn Real Snug Wrap Covers.

Don’t Take Our Word For It

Here is an email we received from a very happy customer:

“I wanted to drop you an email to say how impressed I am with your diapers! I have tried a number of dedicated night time diapers on 2 of my boys and none have lasted the night! Until now. I purchased the Toddler Top-Up Pack recently. I have recently placed another order for more Real Nappies!

My 24month old boy has dry jammies and a dry bed when he wakes up wearing one of your diapers with the night time booster. That was impressive as no other night diaper has achieved that feat! But the most impressive was this morning. My 5year old autistic son still requires a diaper at night. As he is quite small for his age, I put on a toddler nappy with the booster to see if it could handle a 5year old heavy wetter. And much to my surprise and delight it did!” Catherine F

Thanks Catherine for taking the time to write this.  So what are you waiting for – try our Night Time Boosters now starting from $8.99 for a 2-Pack.

Each of the six rolls contains 100 diaper liners and has new, more informative packaging, but they’re the same great diaper liners.

Real Nappies Bioliners have been tremendously popular since they were first available just over 12 months ago. Here are just a few of the things mothers have written about them.

Review by Abi. Wonderful Liners! I have enjoyed using these diaper liners! They are easy to use and flushable which makes the cloth diaper experience a lot easier! I wouldn’t use any other brand of liners for cloth diapers!

Review by ni2ksirl. I really liked these liners! I really liked how wide these liners are. they’re thin too, not scratchy.

Review by Tracy. Awesome product. I love these liners! They seem a lot more comfortable than others I’ve tried. They are not stiff but seem soft and do a great job.

A new shipment’s just arrived and we have 6-Packs of Snug Wrap diaper covers back in stock, all sizes from Newborn on up.

Get in quick!

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:

• Each sheet at aprox 11” x  7 7/8” is large enough to cover your cotton diaper and catch the solids.
• Simply flush away your liner with the solids – no more smelly bins!
• Real Nappies won GOLD in the ‘OHBaby!’ Magazine Awards for ‘best cloth diaper’, so you can rest assured they’ve been tried and tested by moms and dads all over the world.
• One-way action keeps baby even drier!
• Many moms and dads even use our liners as baby wipes  – simply wet them with warm water and clean baby easily, flush away the liner after use!

So give us a go and see why Real Nappies Bioliners are fast becoming the most popular diaper liner on the market.

*only flush one liner at a time

*please test the liners first in old sewerage systems or in septic tanks

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!
