Getting Started
Once you have decided to use washable nappies, the next question is which nappies to choose and where to buy them.
Trial packs - we can offer trial packs of several different types of nappies for you to borrow and try for a couple of weeks, (£25 charge applies and includes full demo), to find out which type suits you and your baby best. This picture shows the contents of a typical trial pack, which is available in a range of sizes from newborn to toddler. Contact us to arrange a trial pack.
Nappy demos - For a £25 charge we can bring a nappy display to groups such as antenatal and baby massage classes, toddler groups and community events or just a group of interested mums who want some more information– please contact us for more details.
Money - although washable nappies will save you hundreds of pounds in the long run, the initial outlay can seem offputting. This is where local credit unions may be able to help you by putting a low-cost loan and savings plan in place.
Contact Landsker Credit Union (01834 861381) or Haven Credit Union (01646 694080) to find out more.
We are sometimes able to offer cashback or vouchers to help with the cost of washables – watch this space!
