Your Guide to Real Nappies
Switch to real nappies, £25 back on purchases
Babies get through about 5000 disposable nappies in
their first two to two and half years compared to 25-30 reusable
nappies. These nappies take up space in your bin and end up at
landfill sites.
Cheshire East is encouraging parents, grandparents and carers to
use reusable instead of disposable nappies for their children.
Modern reusable nappies are shaped, stylish and easy to fasten.
No more safety pins - they are now fastened with Velcro,
poppers or Nappi Nippas. Reusable nappies are no longer about
soaking and boiling or hours of folding and laundry. There is a
nappy style to suit many modern lifestyles and babies; a real
alternative to disposables.
And now that they are available in a range of colours and
fabrics - including organic cotton, fleece and bamboo
- Cheshire's babies have never looked so good! No longer
just the choice of the green conscious, there are also savings to
be made to your pockets - real nappies can save parents an average
of £500.
To give Cheshire parents the opportunity to try
reusable nappies, we are
able to offer either:
- One Month's Free Nappy Laundering service, (worth £45);
or
