We have teamed up with various selected suppliers to offer a 10-20% discount on reusable nappies and other related items.
Benefits of using reusable nappies
With around three billion disposable nappies used in the UK each year, nappies make up a significant proportion of household waste.
Modern reusable nappies are easy to use and wash. They can save you hundreds of pounds compared to disposable nappies, as well as saving space in your bin. Even switching to reusable nappies for one change a day will save hundreds of nappies by the time your child is potty trained!
Although we do understand that reusable nappies may not suit all babies or needs.
