Our Reusable Cloth nappy is adjustable to almost any size.
With a 7 layer ultra-absorbent core, our nappies have been independently tested to absorb in ½ the time of other leading brands.
They are Velcro fitted for convenience when changing wriggly little ones and come with a booster for added comfort over night or as needed. The booster can sit on top or be inserted via the side.
In 4 gender neutral designs, the nappies are super soft and comfy for your little one.
Washing our nappies is easy. The best thing to do is to scrape and/or rinse off immediately and keep them somewhere air tight for no more than a day before machine washing.
Close the Velcro tabs before washing to.
Machine wash at less than 60 degrees. Don’t use any fabric softeners or bleach.
Line dry in the shade or gentle tumble dry.
Your regular washing detergent will do the trick.
Our nappy is designed to fit babies from about 4kg to about 17kg. However, as we all know, all babies come in different shapes and sizes and it can take a few goes to get the fit right for you. We include 3 sizes using the press studs on the front of the nappy and the Velcro is adjustable all along so you can find the snuggest fit for your child.
Once you’ve found the right fit, a few adjustments to ensure the nappy grows along with your baby.
Not at all. A typical child will use about 6,000 nappies in the first few years of life. To accommodate this, disposable nappies could cost about $3k. If 30 reusable nappies were purchased over this time, this would only cost $660 with tooshies.
Those using cloth nappies exclusively may need 20-30 over the child’s nappy wearing lifetime.
This is based on about 5-6 changes per day, washing every two days. For those using a combination of cloth & disposable, it is really up to you. Start with a couple to see how it goes and purchase more as you need to.
Boosters are a great back up. Laid on top of the nappy (touching baby’s skin), sometimes you can simply remove this without changing the whole nappy if that is still dry. The boosters serve to act as extra protection depending on your baby needs. You can also insert through the side panel if you find the nappy is leaking or not lasting through the night.
Our nappies are made with polyester and spandex. While we’d love to offer a pure bamboo or organic cotton range of nappies, the performance, ability to absorb quickly and minimise leaking was our absolute priority.
