Bamboo Nappies – The Best A Baby Can Get?

We think so but why don’t you try them yourself for your little ones?

Bamboo Textiles Ltd produce flat nappies but the more popular type are the shaped nappies which fit snugly and are the natural successor to disposable nappies.

The Bamboo Nappy Kit which we sell contains all that new parents need to start saving money from day one. Bamboo washable nappies work out so much more economical than disposables.

Bamboo nappies feel as soft as silk and are super absorbent just like disposables.  The recycling officer from a local council in our area has told us that there are so many disposables binned from a population of 145,000 people they would fill a Double Decker bus – every day!  Many local authorities subsidise the purchase of our nappies. Keep your receipt and phone the Recycling Dept in your area.

One of the main advantages of bamboo washable nappies is that bamboo has a natural anti bacterial element which helps to reduce the smell and kills germs.

Here’s a letter we received recently from an enthusiastic fan of our nappies….

“Having decided upon real nappies for both ethical and financial reasons I nevertheless approached them with some trepidation – my daughter had been raised in disposables which had been easy to deal with – potentially there was a lot more hassle and mess involved with real nappies, or so I thought.  Young Ben is now five weeks old and looks gorgeous in his fluffy cream nappies, and the laundering is now a manageable part of our daily routine. The nappies were easy to use and not at all messy, and the comprehensive information and helpful advice you provide, has been first rate.  I am happily recommending you to all and sundry, and you can expect a repeat order when we expand our family further”
