So, what are real nappies?
If you still think that washable nappies are all about stinking piles of
terry squares, soaking, sluicing and boiling, and crackly plastic pants, it's
time to think again!
Nowadays cloth nappies are designed to be easy to use and kind to
your baby's skin, using soft materials with no pins needed - most fasten
with poppers or Velcro, or a plastic gripper called a “Nappy Nipper”.
Waterproof wraps are made from soft fabrics with inner waterproof
laminates, and are elasticated for a snug fit.
One way liners can be placed inside the nappy. These retain solids
and protect your nappies, and help keep your baby's bottom dry. They
are biodegradable and so when soiled can simply be flushed down
the toilet, leaving the nappy itself more pleasant to handle! There are
different types of Real Nappy, all with their own advantages - it's simply
a matter of finding out which one suits you and your baby.
Flat nappy
Including terry squares and prefolds, these are quick drying and are the
most affordable types of nappy available. Prefolds are flat nappies made
from several layers of cotton, which you fold into shape and fit inside a
waterproof wrap.
