When the original is still the best!
Bright Bots 100% Cotton Terry Towelling cloth nappies are simple to use, very economical, easy to wash, quick to dry and are an excellent birth to potty option with the 60cm sizing.
There are many, many cloth nappy options now available with various styles, shapes, poppers and velcro so many that it can get rather confusing knowing where to start and how much to spend.
The original cotton terry towels our grand parents used to use may seem a little out dated in comparison, but do not be fooled. Terry nappies were used for many years before single use disposables came on the scene, so why “re-invent the wheel” with modern washing powders and automatic washing machines to keep everything clean and hygienic? Terries are so much easier to wash and dry than continuously buying disposable nappies, are cheaper overall and will fit any baby.
There is no need to soak in a bucket. Just remove solids down the toilet, put the terries in a bucket or storage bag until washday, then do a rinse followed by a full wash programme.
There is no need to use pins – there are now simple-to-use Nappy Nippas which safely and securely fasten the terry nappies.
The days of plastic over pants are gone – now you can use a modern cloth wrap or even a wool cover.
Many who use modern cloth nappies will use terries as a booster or a night-time option as they can last for 6 – 12 hours with the right fold.
