Washable Nappy Trial Pack

The trial pack is available to Weal den's parents to borrow free of charge for approximately a month, allowing them to try washable nappies and see which ones suit them best before they purchase a set. The pack includes a wide range of the different types of modern washable nappies on the market, including some nappies made from bamboo, which is a greener alternative to cotton. The trial pack is available in two sizes - Birth to 6 months and 6 months to potty.

Types of Nappies

There are three different types of washable nappies currently available on the market:

• Prefold nappies - these are flat squares of cloth which are folded and placed into a waterproof cover

• Shaped nappies - these have a neat, precise fit with either poppers of velcro. They come in either various sizes or a one size fits all from birth to potty, where the size is adjusted with poppers at the front or back of the nappy. They are then placed in a waterproof outer cover which comes in various different sizes.

• All-in-one nappies - These are available in various sizes and have a built in waterproof outer cover.
