WHY CLOTH - Benefits of using reusable nappies...
DISPOSABLE NAPPIES ARE EXPENSIVE
Disposable nappies are expensive by using reusable nappies you can save £700 compared to disposables over the birth to potty process for one child, more if you reuse the nappies for subsequent children.
HELP TAXPAYERS
The taxpayer also bears a cost when with disposables for every £1.00 spent it costs £0.10 to dispose of them.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS
The environmental cost of disposables is huge in the UK alone we go through 500,000 tonnes of disposable nappies a year filling up landfills and causing pollution. Currently 92% of all disposables end up in landfills.
Putting a child in disposable nappies for one year alone uses 50lbs of petroleum, 500lbs of wool and 20lbs of chlorine.
Using reusable nappies means no nasty chemicals against you baby's skin which increases the chances of nappy rash (having a son with sever infantile eczema protecting his already delicate skin was very important to me) for an enlightening read please check out Scary Sposies.
If you also use reusable nappy wipes you can save roughly a further £250.
