Reusable nappies

Reusable nappies are nappies that can be washed and used again and again. There are different types of reusable nappies around. The four main types are:

  • All-in-ones
  • Pre-folds
  • Pocket
  • Shaped

Reusables are more environmentally sound than disposable nappies, but mean more effort, as you need to wash and dry them. While the initial price can look high compared to a pack of disposable nappies, they can work out to be more economical, as the price you pay gets spread over possibly years of use.

Our buyer's guide to reusable nappies will take you step by step through finding the right one.
