Real Nappies Cloth Diaper and Cloth Nappy Blog

Hello All, Just want to add a quick post about how to save some serious money just by purchasing the right kind of nappy. I'm sure you already know that by using cloth nappies compared to disposables you'll save heaps of money, but have you ever really added it up? The average person spends around $20-$30 a week on nappies, some much more. Your baby will probably be in nappies for around two and a half years, so that's 130 weeks. Going on just $20 a week you'll end up spending $2,600, that's per baby. Real Nappies put together a Birth to Potty Pack which costs $599. This has enough nappies to last you from the moment your baby is born until your baby is out of nappies. Incidentally, your baby will be out of nappies sooner using cloth. My son was just after his 2nd birthday! Not only does this one time purchase of nappies take care of your baby's needs the first time around, make sure you keep the nappies because if you have another you can use them all over again because we guarantee them to last for two children. So you have paid $599 and that's taken care of two kids where you would've probably spent $2,600 per child. That's a total of $5,200, so you have saved $4,601 in total. In my book that's a huge saving, and it's all down to your choice of nappy. If you give me a call, ask for John, and I'll give you a Bith to Potty Pack for $480. This is a 20% discount which we normally only offer at Parent and Baby Shows. This offer expires on Friday 23rd March so that's one month away!
