Change the world, one nappy at a time! Discover the world of modern cloth nappies, so you can save money and reduce waste when having a baby. 

Why choose cloth nappies? 

• Reduce waste 

Did you know that a child will use approximately 6,000 disposable nappies before they toilet train?!¹ Assuming 2 wipes are used during each nappy change, that’s also 12,000 disposable wipes going to landfill per child! Did you know that on average 1,400 babies are born to families living in Whitehorse City Council? This equals roughly 2.8 million nappies per year, or 8.4 million nappies by the time those babies are toilet trained! With it estimated to take up to 150 years for one disposable nappy to break down, every disposable nappy ever used is still on the planet… so it’s a worth looking at alternatives².  

• Save money 

The cost of disposable nappies adds up – you might not notice the cost in your weekly grocery bill but all up disposable nappies cost an average of $3,000 per child³. Depending on the cloth nappies you choose, you may spend $250-$800 to build your stash - that could be a saving of around $2,000! And the best bit? You can use those same cloth nappies on your next child, saving a further $3,000 whilst getting all the environmental benefits of reusable nappies! 

• Do it your way 

There is no “right” way to cloth nappy, and you don’t need to use them full time to enjoy the benefits. You may choose to use cloth nappies only during the day, and not overnight. Or you may only want to use cloth nappies part-time, or only use cloth wipes. Every time you reach for a reusable product you are making a difference. Remember that using just 2 cloth nappies a week will divert 100 disposable nappies from landfill each year. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. 

• Have fun with nappy changes 

Fortunately cloth nappies and cloth wipes have come a long way and the modern styles are easy to use, easy to wash and come in lots of fun colours and prints. Since you will be doing around 6,000 nappy changes, why not have fun with it! Choose reusable nappies that you like the look of; with a choice of limited edition prints, sports team themes, fabrics with hand illustrated art or colours which match your child’s outfits - you can be both environmentally friendly and make a statement. And the best bit, with many nappies being adjustable in size, your child won’t outgrow them!
