Bambooty are an Australian company that have just launched in the UK and are doing this introductory offer until midnight tonight. I haven't tried them before but thought at this price it's worth a go! They do specialist night nappies as well as day time ones, and also have an XL size for older toddlers/children.

Hope someone can benefit from this - cloth nappies are very MSE after all

buy 1 get 1 free is indeed a good offer if this is something you want to try

but...

as a former real nappy user for 2 of my 3 children, i have to disagree with you saying as a product they're very mse... the cost and time taken to do a daily washload, electricity, water, plus you have to tumble dry them if you want them to be soft rather than crunchy, which uses even more electricity, plus the nappysan and laundry detergent cost, then the environmental impact of pumping the chemicals and soiled water down the drain, and cost of serwage treatment on top, i personally don't believe real nappies are either money saving nor much of an improvement environmentally instead of disposables, especially when you can buy biodegradable disposables

just my opinion

I totally agree, its very expensive and not really eco friendly to spend the resources of washing and drying etc but I must admit I have used real nappies at times as I loove them, even though the absorbancy is less as well.
P.s I had a ten year gap between my first and last baby and with the first disposables had no elastic at first, the first good one was peaudeauce launched some 25+ years ago, how times change.!!!

Dont forget that your local council is likely to do a real nappy rebate too, you just send them your receipt and you can get cash back. Reading Council give £30 back.

Cloth nappies do mean a little bit of extra effort but lets face it babies usually mean an increase in washing so one more load every 2 days isnt a biggie! There are very few 100% recycled / biodegradable disposibles around, and I dont think Ive ever seen them in a super market, Nature Baby are not totally enviro friendly.

- a disposible nappy takes 500 yrs to break down, leaching chemicals in the process, multiply that across the thousands of nappies a child will use until they are toilet trained and that is a massive impact on landfil and the environment
- cloth nappies can be dry pailed so no soaking and only a small amount of detergent is needed to avoild any build up on the nappy itself (Rockin' Green is fantastic), sunlight deals with most stains or white vinegar / baking soda for stubborn stains
- yes they are initially expensive but can be used across two or more children and with council rebate / onsell oportunities you can recoup some of the cost
- there is nothing cuter than a fat cloth toosh in a funky print!!

Ive never tried Bambooty but have brought a couple to try, cant wait to see DD (4mths) in her Hooty Booty!!

I use cloth nappies and Bambooty are my fave night nappies after Flips.

This is a fab offer, and the nappies are cheap. Cheeksandcherries.co.uk often have good deals on Bambooty.

I totally disagree with the cost and environment lack of savings - I wash maybe three extra loads a week in a small amount of detergent with a teaspoon of white vinegar and a drop of tea tree oil and one of lavender oil and my nappies are soft. The initial cost of the nappies is high, but they can also be sold on later on and will last at least two children so the savings are astronomical. I worked out in 8 months of using them, I probably would have spent over 400 euros on nappies and in total, my cloth stash have cost that so now I am saving money every day and eventually I will get some of that money back.

Plus they look 50 times better than disposables.

Thank you, was beginning to wonder why I bothered posting! I have bought most of my nappies second hand or nearly new so have dramatically reduced the initial outlay, I think I have spent about £100 in total (including £45 spent on this offer - oops!!) after using the council incentive, inheriting some from a friend who had barely used hers etc. I would hate to think how much (on baby number 3) would have gone literally down the toilet if I had been buying disposables all this time.

Anyway, I didn't want to start a debate, just wanted to flag up an offer which is, after all, what this board is for
