Cloth nappies
There are many reasons to use cloth nappies (also known as real or re-usable nappies):
- Babies that use cloth nappies are often potty-trained earlier than others, and there’s no greater risk of nappy rash.
- Overall you’re likely to spend less than you would on disposable nappies – and if you have another child, it won’t cost you any more.
- Using them could halve your household waste.
- They are simple to use and can be used with liners that are washable or flushable.

Disposable nappies
Disposable nappies cannot be recycled and should be put into your rubbish bin, as they contaminate recycling.
