You would like to think that it would be easy to choose baby nappies, but you would be wrong! There are so many different brands, types, shapes and sizes on the market, and the whole process can actually be quite daunting. The cheapest disposable nappies contain nasty chemicals such as gels and bleaching agents, and these can cause damaged skin and nappy rash. It may shock you to learn that up to 8 million nappies are thrown away every day in the UK, and that 90% of these go to landfill where they can take hundreds of years to biodegrade!
Real nappies are more expensive initially and are more time consuming to wash, but in the long run real nappies could save you up to £500 (compared to disposables). Also, as a result of our growing waste problem, some local authorities are offering mothers an incentive to buy real nappies rather than disposables. For instance, Denbighshire County Council are offering mothers vouchers worth up to £75, to be used in part-payment in the purchase of real nappies.Yo
