When my wife and I first started using re-usable diapers on our baby we were determined to find out what worked best.  We tried all the brands out there – some fastened using pins, some using poppers and others used Velcro.

We’d already made our minds up that we wanted to use cotton, as this is the friendliest fabric next to your baby’s skin.  So now we only had to decide on what we would use to hold this cotton nappy in place.

We found the material that we wanted to use for the cover – PUL which is waterproof and breathable but we were unsure of how to fasten this cover together.

The pins seemed too risky, didn’t want to puncture any precious skin!  The poppers were too fiddley – when a wriggling baby is in front of you, you just need something that sticks quickly.

We came to the conclusion Velcro worked the best – it was easy to stick and unstuck, but stayed stuck when needed.  This is one of the reasons we chose Real Nappies.  So now we had the best material next to our baby’s skin and a very convenient cover to hold that diaper in place.

It was great to see a CNET’s, Natali Morris, try only cloth diapers for a month and love them!  Yay!

This was someone who has a busy schedule and is certainly not a mom that is tied to the washing machine washing diapers.  She’s a perfect candidate for disposable diapers, but she gave cloth a go and was pleasantly surprised at just how easy she found them.

What were her findings?

So which diapers are Real Nappies?

Real Nappies cloth diapers are a wrap and prefold system similar to the first diaper shown on CNET. They have a 100% cotton diaper, which is separate to the cover.  This makes life SOOOOO much easier, as come diaper change time you simply take out the wet diaper and pop in a dry one.

You keep the same diaper cover on bubs until it gets wet or smelly!

This means less washing, less drying and less cost!

Help I’m so confused!

Natali mentioned that the cloth diaper choices available to new parents are so overwhelming, that many parents just don’t even go there.  I understand that and can totally relate to it!  I know pretty much every cloth diaper out there and when I go online I still get totally confused, Arrrggghhh!

I’m very pleased my wife and I started Real Nappies – it was a struggle at first, like I’m sure most businesses find and there was the odd time when we wondered if we’d done the right thing.  Seven years later we know we did and now sometimes I get so passionate about this diaper business I sometimes think I’m on a mission.

From time to time I get a bit carried away with myself and start thinking what a huge difference that could be made if everyone on the planet started using cloth instead of disposables.  A family using disposables would have to put out an extra couple of sacks of garbage out each week full of diapers, more if they had 2 children.  Multiply this by the amount of households in the U.S. or even the world and you have a staggering amount of waste that’s increasing in size all the time going to landfill that will sit there for hundreds of years!

So how do we get everyone on the planet using cloth diapers?  This is the mission, we have chosen to accept it!  Is it daa daa da da, daa daa da da MISSION IMPOSSIBLE?

Well to do this we would have to go up against the enormous multinational companies who manufacture disposables and also at the same time convince all the people of this world to use cloth.  Perhaps this is mission impossible but we are trying, and I don’t think it does any harm to think BIG! 

So yes, I guess we are on a mission – but one we have to be patient with.

We love to hear from our customers, and the following testimonial was written by a lovely lady who used our Birth to Potty Pack nappies with 4 of her babies – proof our diapers stand the test of time!  2 Child Guarantee – wow this lady made it to 4!

As a new Mum I was keen to provide my baby with the healthiest most natural start in life but found that often this idealist ‘green’ approach was hard to maintain as our lives are much busier than that of our grandmothers who never had to take baby out in the car etc   so when a friend lent me the ‘snug wrap’ to try I was sceptical that I could keep it up as I had failed with the pins and diaper pants before.  However after two days I was on line and purchased my first set.

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.

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. (more…)
