Real Nappies - month-long, free trial

Free month-long trial
We are offering parents a free month-long trial of Cottontails Laundry Service - 100% pure cotton, reusable nappies, laundered to the highest NHS standards and delivered to you each week.
The Cottontails service delivers clean nappies to the door and collects the dirties at the same time. The usual weekly cost of the Cottontails service is just £9.00. If parents bought their own and washed them at home too, the savings would be even more.

Lighthearted Article about Cloth Nappies

This funny article is from an Australian reusable nappy company - aptly called 'OzNappies'

If you are a new parent then you are likely having quite a time of looking after your new bundle of energy - of keeping them clean and happy and of making sure that they are clean, well fed and have gotten an adequate amount of sleep. You will find that you are constantly waking up to attend to your baby and you will find that they are constantly trying to tell you that something is wrong.

One of the most unpleasant aspects of this whole process is of course the changing of nappies. This occurs every time your newborn sprog goes to the bathroom and soon after you will notice a smell and a mess and your baby will start crying. While many nappies now are designed to be comfortable and as hygienic as possible, it is still important that you change them as soon as possible as it will still create a lot of mess and can attract bacteria and other problems.

This is a very messy and some would say disgusting process that you will likely find yourself playing rock, paper, scissors for with your partner in a bid to avoid. However the problem goes further than this, and it's also a fairly expensive problem - if you want your baby to enjoy feeling comfortable and clean then you will need to splash out a little on the best nappies and that will mean that you are constantly shelling out for new underwear for them - over time this can mount up and represent a significant investment.
There is an alternative however and that is to use reusable cloth nappies. These do exactly what they say on the packaging - they are nappies that are made from cloth and this means that they can be cleaned in the washing machine and generally recycled for repeat use by your baby. This is very useful because it means that you won't need to constantly be paying for new nappies - they'll be a little more expensive in the first place but in the long run they will prove to be very much an investment.
