Be Excellent To Each Other

As my wife is into being green.

We are giving re-usable nappies a try. No the old towelling squares, but new funky ones.

Have you lot had any experiences with re-usable nappies (for babies )?

If not towelling, then what?

Linky please...

You shouldn't just throw them in a 55 gallon drum, that's for sure.

I do know there are gov grants to help buy a few eco nappies but tbh we use Pampers (but we don't drive Land Rovers so thats cool, yeah?)

The idea of scraping out nappies, washing and drying them as well as all the other day to day baba jobs is deeply disturbing.

You have my sympathies.

We did get a grant from the council for them. The wife wants to try so why not

I think it is the way that nappies take between 200 and 500 years to break down.

We have a few eco disposables just in case ( ASDA do them).

Are you going to keep the kid inside? Cos that's cruel.

Just don't dock its tail.

If it works for cats it works for kids

I forgot I am not allowed to say that

Friend of mine used these, or a similar equivalent, for a while. In the they drifted to using disposables quite quickly though, the washing/drying was getting too much (on top of all the usual sprog clothes washing).

Awesome story.

oh dear god!! flaming nappies!!

Christ, no. It's bad enough trying to keep on top of the clothes they need without having to wash the nappies, too.
Unless you have two washing machines, I guess - that wouldn't be too bad.

Only one washing machine but it has a 7kg or is it 8kg drum...

The wife wants to try, and you know what women are like

Yes. A fucking knightmare.

We need a "What to do with sacks of baby shit" subforum.

Will she be able to close the door from the inside?

I will fit a handle when I get home

You could always just stop feeding them.
