how many?

Work out how many cloth nappies you think you'll need.

We recommend:

8 nappies for part-time use

15 nappies for full-time day use

24 nappies for full-time day & night use

Of course, if you're anything like us, once you get into the swing of it, you may become a cloth nappy addict. Our recommendations are based on personal use when washing every 2-3 days.

what else do i need?

To make your cloth nappy journey easier, we recommend using wet bags when out and about, starting daycare or heading to the beach, pool or park. In our experience, wet bags have a never ending list of uses from a handy pram caddy to a secret place to hide the good snacks from the kids.

It's also a good idea to have a travel change mat to make nappy changes quick, easy and hygienic.

To make drying cloth nappies a breeze, add a Loomey into the mix and say goodbye to the monotony of washing.

TIPS FOR MAKING IT EASIER

Cloth nappy inserts will always dry much slower than the outer shell, particulalry when using a Loomey for the shells. So if you live in a cool climate or want to reduce your upfront investment, buying extra insert sets means you can get your nappies back on your little cherub's bottom quicker.
