FAQ

Our nappies are made from a waterproof outer layer called PUL (polyurethane laminated polyester), then lined with a bamboo terry fleece. All of our BTP nappies come with 2 x 3 layer bamboo/terry mix boosters. Our nappies are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, so you can be assured that there are no horrible chemicals near your babies precious skin.

Both our newborn and birth to potty nappies come with waist snaps and riser snaps, this allows for you to be able to get the best fit for you baby, after all, no two babies are the same shape. Please see our trouble shooting page for more information.

We recommend having 20-25 nappies if you plan on using cloth nappies full time, and washing every 2-3 days for one child. The number of nappies will either be more for more than one child, or less if you will be using cloth nappies part time.

All you need to use cloth nappies is your baby, and the cloth nappy itself. You can however buy extra boosters, or a wet bag to store the nappies in either at home in between washes, or whilst out and about. Our wet bags are double zipped, allowing for a dry pocket for clean nappies, and a wet pocket for dirty nappies.

We recommend washing every 2-3 days. Wash at 40 – 60 degrees. (The lower the temperature, the better for the environment, this will also protect the nappies PUL from wear and tear.) Air drying is recommended, do not tumble dry. Please see our trouble shooting page for more information.

Nappy creams create a barrier between your babies skin and the nappy itself, this can affect the absorbency of the nappy. If you need to use nappy cream, then place a disposable liner in between your baby and the nappy. However, you may find that by using cloth nappies, you may not need to use nappy cream at all/ as much, this is because cloth nappies are softer on the skin and do not contain any plastics/ chemicals like a disposable nappy would.

Before you start weaning your baby, you can just put the nappy straight into a wet bag, then into the washing machine on your wash day. After you have started weaning, you can either use a disposable liner to catch the poo or use normal boosters and simply plop the poo down the toilet and flush. If you decide to use disposable liners, please remember these cannot be flushed down the toilet.
