Tag Archives: 2 part cloth nappy

Not really sure who said Dad's Don't Do Diapers but I know a couple of facts – 1) I am a dad and 2) I certainly “did diapers” or perhaps I should say nappies....

We were asked some questions recently about Real Nappies and thought the answers would make an interesting blog... What’s a helpful tip for keeping my nappies sorted after washing and drying? A great way to keep everything simple is to fold your nappies and pop them under the change-table so that they are ready to use as soon as it gets to change time. This makes change time quick and easy every time.

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 nappies 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 nappy pants before. However after two days I was on line and purchased my first set...'

“You are so lucky nowadays you don’t have to use those awful cloth nappies, pins and plastic overpants!” That was the comment of my mum when I told her I was pregnant. Then 7 years later here we are with the largest Cloth Nappy 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 and the UK! Well actually I blame my husband….

You change your Newborn baby between 8-10 times a day, this reduces as your baby gets older down to aprox 6 times a day as a Toddler. With our Birth to Potty Pack we have calculated that based on the usual consumption of nappies, you would only need to wash every 3rd day, equating to an extra 5 minutes spent each day to use Real Nappies Cloth Nappies.

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 nappies 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.

Here is the article about Real Nappies becoming the cloth nappy company of choice at an Auckland Hospital in New Zealand. Not to brag but we are the first and only company to gain this much coveted title!

Hey, don't you think the designs on the new Huggies Jeans Disposable nappy are cool (and don't get me wrong they are cool)! They will certainly look amazing in your trash can, and will look great in the landfill in 75 - 500 years time. I hope its worth the extra $6! But seriously I don't get it, what is the point in a fancy looking throwaway nappy? Now great looking Cloth Diapers I do understand, and of course we especially love Real Nappies Diaper Covers, they come in amazing, bright and vibrant colours -
