If you're a parent who's interested in doing their bit for the planet then you may have already chosen to invest in some re-usable nappies. Around 9 million disposable nappies are thrown away each day in the UK with some research suggesting that it will take between 200 and 500 years for them to decompose! But fear not - gone are the days of soaking terry nappies in buckets of boiling soapy water. There are many great re-usable options out there which are easy to clean and cheap to buy.
One of our favourites here at ThinkBaby is the Onelife cotton nappy. Made from unbleached cotton this shaped nappy is designed to fit your baby from birth to potty (depending how quickly your little one grows of course!). The size can be altered as your baby grows: the length of the nappy can be reduced with the foldable waist band. The width can also be adjusted using the specially designed poppers on the outside of the nappy (these are also difficult for little fingers to undo so messy accidents should be avoidable!).
There is also a removable inner layer which doubles as an absorbency booster for added protection against spills.
Waterproof nappy covers are also available in Natural or Print - these can be wiped clean as well as being thrown in the wash and add that little bit of extra protection!
Onelife nappies cost £9.99 each (nappy covers £7.99 each) and are available from www.onelifeworld.co.uk
