Washable Nappies

Washable nappies come in all sorts of gorgeous colours and styles that are simple to use, easy to wash and are great for baby. You can save between $600-$1800 by using washable nappies instead of the disposable kind. You can also save 112 rubbish bags full of disposable nappies that can take up to 200 years to break down in the landfill. These benefits and others are contained in the real life personal stories of parents using washable nappies.

The Council recently ran a subsidy scheme to encourage the use of washable nappies, it proved very popular with over 1,700 starter packs of nappies being purchased. Although the nappy subsidy has ended you can still get starter packs of washable nappies from the following retailers.
