ABOUT THE POP-IN CLOTH NAPPY
Ethical Babe stocks cloth nappies made from 100% natural materials with no gels or chemicals to absorb liquid, just the natural absorbency of the bamboo cloth, so they are extremely gentle on baby’s skin. The high absorbency of the bamboo soakers will keep baby’s skin perfectly dry. Cloth Pop-In nappies are so much easier than you may think. Flushable liners mean less mess. Soaking and boiling is a thing of the past; store used nappies in a bucket with a lid and when you're ready to wash, a simple wash is all that is needed.
The Modern Baby Pop-In nappy is a brand new and unique nappy system; a cross between an all-in-one nappy and a two-part system, with an inner soaker which attaches by poppers inside the outer shell and comes apart for easy washing and drying. Then it cleverly goes back together again ready to simply fasten around your baby.
This is the only nappy system you will need as the expanding nappy system fits babies from birth to potty. There are 3 sets of poppers carefully positioned on the front of the nappy to adjust the size setting for your baby. The nappy fastens with stretchy aplix tabs for a snug and reliable fit at any age.
The inner soaker is made from soft bamboo, which is a super absorbent material, so less bulk is needed to achieve the same absorbency as cotton, making this a wonderfully slim line nappy.
The trial pack contains a complete nappy, a dry-night booster to ensure a dry night every night, and a liner. The Pop-In nappy is available in gorgeous unisex colours.
NAPPY FACTS
In the UK alone we throw away about 8 million disposable nappies every day. Each child on average goes through 5,000 nappies in their infancy. For parents who care about the environment, choosing and using environmentally friendly nappies, such as cloth reusable nappies or eco friendly disposable nappies are taking a positive step towards protecting the world.
Cloth nappies cost substantially less than disposables, and will last long enough to use for more than one child, making them even more economical. In a recent study on infants with nappy rash, 'the type of nappy worn did not emerge as a significant factor. Therefore, and contrary to widespread belief, disposable nappies seem to have little protective effect.'* The most important factor in avoiding nappy rash is keeping your baby clean with regular nappy changes. *Research conducted by Professor Jean Golding of Bristol University.
