Real Nappy Library

The real nappy library allows you to try before you buy.  As a first time mum keen to use reusable nappies I felt overwhelmed with the wide range of nappies to choose from and where to buy them.  Not so bad if you can acquire some cheap second hand ones however if you find yourself wanting to buy some new nappies you want to be sure you are happy with what you buy because – aside from terry squares which are the cheapest option at £2 onwards - they cost between £8.95 and £17 per individual nappy (depending on style and type).

So to decide which style fits your baby best, you can borrow individual nappies or a nappy kit from our real nappy library.  For information or to borrow nappies contact Sarah by telephone (07810 841745 or 01856 874211) or email sarahderees@hotmail.com

If you are interested in a nappy which is not in the list get in touch and we will do our best to get one.
