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?

The testing that our cotton diapers undergo is absolutely exhaustive, every thread, every stitch, every layer is tested for over 100 harmful substances.

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!
Then you get to diapers, well that’s easy isn’t it? Just pop to the mall and grab a pack, yes?…. Then your friend asks if you’ve considered using cloth…… WHAT!!! … you ask, those plastic pants, pins and leaks – are you kidding??!! (more…)
Our decision to use cotton was a very conscious one. Sure, we had all the choices of the modern-day, all the rage fabrics such as hemp, bamboo, Sherpa fleece and so on.
“You are so lucky nowadays you don’t have to use those awful cloth diapers, pins and plastic overpants!” That was the comment of my mom when I told her I was pregnant. Then 7 years later here we are with the largest Cloth Diaper Company in New Zealand. So why did we make this decision, and not only make the decision to use cloth but to start up a company and become so passionate about it that here we are today launching into the USA.
…yes my husband was the one who once read a little article about the chemical content in disposables and simply dropped into conversation one day that he would not be using disposables on our baby. Well news to me I thought! OK, I said thinking back to the warnings of plastic pants from my mum! Newborns are hard enough without worrying about leaky diapers!
Using Real Nappies Cloth Diapers equates to an extra 5 minutes a day. How do we work that one out? Well based on our recommend quantity of diapers (as seen in our Birth to Potty Pack), we suggest the following:
5/6 wraps for each of the 4 stages.
The holy grail of cloth diapering! All the supplies you need from, you guessed it, birth of your baby to the time they are ready to ditch the diaper. Never buy another diaper again!
We make simple high-quality cloth diapers at a great price, and we guarantee they'll last for two children!
