Real Nappies

Why not give you're baby a real start and try using real washable nappies.

Each day in the UK we throw away eight million nappies.

Disposable nappies contain paper pulp, plastics, absorbent gel granules and chemical additives in the plastics and perfumes, carrying a high environmental cost.

To help to close the loop we should be thinking about reducing, reusing, repairing and recycling. Real nappies are a great way to reduce and reuse.

Real nappies are easier to use than you think and there are now lots of cool and funky styles to choose from.

You can choose to buy your own real nappies and wash them at home or you could choose a nappy laundering service.

Solihull Real Nappy Network is a voluntary organisation for people who want to know more about or are considering using real nappies as well as those who already use cloth and can offer help or advice to others.
