In the UK, disposable nappies alone account for 4% of household waste. That is equivalent to throwing away 8 million disposable nappies every day! Unfortunately, there is presently no recycling facility for them.
Your baby could get through 4000-5000 nappies by the time they are potty trained. That could cost you £400-£500, if not more! Real nappy kits can start from as little as £115.00 and even with an additional cost for washing, you could save a substantial amount of money and reduce nappy waste sent to landfill.
The image of white terry toweling nappies may be how many people view real nappies. But times have changed! There are now numerous companies selling funky real nappies. Type 'real nappies' into any internet search engine and take a look for yourself.
To encourage more people to use real nappies, we're offering a £30.00 cashback incentive when you spend £50.00 or more on real nappies (subject to terms and conditions). So that £115.00 nappy kit, could cost you as little as £85.00! Download the form below for details:
