Basics
Unsure how modern cloth nappies work, or how many nappies to buy? Start here!
Prepping new cloth nappies before use
Wash new nappies once before use. They can be added to other laundry, ideally white or light coloured items to prevent picking up colour run.
Hiring nappies from a cloth nappy library
Cloth hire is a great way to try a variety of cloth nappies before buying your own stash. Many cloth nappy hire services provide a range of styles and brands.
Cloth nappies for newborns
A newborn’s diet is milk (either breastmilk, formula or a mix of both), which means their nappies are easier to clean.
Fitting cloth nappies
Reusable nappies are designed to fit snug and low, like underwear. The most common causes of leaks in modern cloth nappies are a lack of absorption, incorrect fit and not changing frequently enough.
Front loader wash routine
Front loaders use less water, have longer cycles than traditional top loaders and most heat their own water.
Caring for wool covers
Wool covers are amazing, versatile items and only require periodic washes. Caring for wool covers is not as difficult as you might think. With a simple regime, you can have clean woollies all the time.
