Good for your pocket
Real Nappies are used over and over again for usually more than one baby. This saves the parents a lot of money.
The average price of a disposable nappy today is 16.9p.
Considering babies will need anywhere between 4500 and 6000 changes in their 'nappy wearing' lifetime, then disposable nappies are very costly.
With 6 changes a day at 16.9p per nappy, this equates to an average cost of £7.10 per week. This is an overall spend of £922.74 over 2.5 years*.
This is a conservative estimate since newborn and young babies will use more than 6 nappies a day.
Real Nappies can save you between £600 and £740 - this includes the cost of home laundering over 2.5 years.*
Real nappies can be used for younger siblings and the only extra cost incurred would be the laundry.
Most real nappies have a fantastic re-sale value - just look on any well-known online auction site to see the huge established second-hand market .
