Even if there are tough bits clinging on to your nappy for dear life a wash at 60 degrees will soon get rid of them anyway.Įnough said! No seriously, we used disposables on our last holiday as I didn’t think the friends we were staying with would welcome my cloth nappies, my fiancé must have spent most of the days asking if jack had pooed because he could smell something horrid, no he hadn’t, it was just the smell of the chemicals in the nappy. You don’t have to touch the poo in your cloth nappy, if your nappy is fleece lined it will usually slide off with a vigorous shake down the toilet, you can sluice the offending faeces down the toilet with the flush or a shower head or simply use a liner inside your nappy, fold it into a small bundle and flush it down the loo.

Even if you treat yourself to new nappies every couple of months you will still be saving money in the long run. ![]() Let’s take a look: I’m probably what you would call mathematically challenged! I scraped a C at GCSE, but even I can see that the initial costs of building up a supply of cloth nappies is nothing compared to the costs of buying disposable nappies every week for the next 2 ½ years. Their comments however got me thinking, why do the majority of people automatically assume that cloth is a bad choice? Luckily I ignored them and love using cloth nappies.
