Real nappies

Using real nappies rather than a disposable nappy is one of the steps families can take to reduce their waste being sent to landfill.

Like babies, modern washable nappies come in many shapes and styles.  Designed to be comfortable and secure, it is easy to find the ideal nappy for your baby. It has never been simpler to use real nappies.  Most use poppers or velcro and come in a wide variety of colours and patterns to coordinate with your baby’s clothes.

Help and advice is available from GoReal, who aim to encourage more parents to choose real nappies.  GoReal provides valuable parent-to-parent support, information and advice.  You can email GoReal or call them on 0800 328 8175.

Try Real Nappies for yourself

Would you like to try real nappies before you commit yourself to buying?

The GoReal trial kit scheme gives you the chance to road test Real Nappies and make the best decision on which nappies are best for you and your baby.  The kit contains sufficient nappies for you to try the different styles at home, on your baby.  It is not intended to fully replace your own nappies for a whole month.

Epsom & Ewell Borough Council does not favour any one brand of nappies.  We believe that only you can make the decision on which nappies best suit you, your baby and family.  The nappies included within the trial kit are examples of nappy styles available.  You may find that your local nappy stockist sell a similar style under a different brand name.

For more information about trial kits email GoReal, visit their website or call them on 0800 328 8175.
