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?  (more…)

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…)

So just what is öko-tex?

Oko-Tex (sounds like echo-tex) is a process of testing that checks for over 100 harmful substances.  Our cotton diapers go through a pain-staking process whereby they are tested for over 100 harmful substances.  Oko-Tex is the evaluation standard for the human ecological standard of textiles.

Why do we love öko-tex?

When you deal with Real Nappies you will know from the beginning that you are dealing with a company that cares, well Oko-Tex have the same ethos.  The testing that our cotton diapers undergo is absolutely exhaustive, every thread, every stitch, every layer is tested for over 100 harmful substances.  Plus to achieve certification our cotton diapers must be regularly re-tested to remain certified.

Who has got time for cloth??

Look, we know what you mean – we’ve been there!  You’re pregnant, OK that’s hard enough to get your head around as it is.  Then people tell you what the essential items are: crib, bassinet, moses basket, baby carrier, diaper bag, stroller, etc etc, the list in endless so you start trawling around the shops, checking it all out.  Then you wish you hadn’t, not only are you feeling tired, agitated and my goodness always hungry, but you then find out that there are so many options you want to scream!  Take Baby strollers for an example:   there are lightweight strollers, Full size strollers, jogging strollers, travel system strollers, 4 wheelers, 3 wheelers, arrrghhh!
