When my wife and I first started using re-usable diapers on our baby we were determined to find out what worked best....

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?

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.

Real Nappies join Waitaki District Council to offer hugely subsidised packs to residents, this article is from NZ Herald on Tuesday September 28th: 'In what could be a first for New Zealand, the Waitaki District Council is planning to sell cloth nappies from its front desk in an effort to reduce the amount of disposable nappies being put into landfill. Council solid waste officer Gerry O'Neill said disposable nappies were responsible for five per cent of the waste that ended up at the Oamaru landfill.
