Free Real Nappy trial pack

Are you thinking about washable nappies but are not sure how to go about it?

Why try washable nappies?

Nearly three billion nappies are thrown away each year in the UK. 90% of these end up in landfill, where they take hundreds of years to decompose.

Many new and expecting parents are unaware of how cheap and easy washable nappies are to use. On average, over a two-year period, a baby could use over 5,000 disposable nappies. To keep the same baby in washable nappies would require only 24 nappies, saving you hundreds of pounds. You could save even more by passing down washable nappies to younger siblings.

To help reduce the burden on landfill, and its potential environmental impact, Epsom & Ewell Borough Council has teamed up with the Surrey Real Nappy Network to offer you the opportunity to try a carefully selected pack of washable nappies.

Why order a free Real Nappy Trial Pack?

You might think that washable nappies mean terry squares, smelly nappy buckets and lots of unpleasant cleaning. But washable nappies have come on a long way since the days of terries.

Our free Real Nappy trial pack is made up of a variety of washable nappies, to give you the chance to find out which best suits you and your baby. 

All the washable nappies offered are easy to use, cost a fraction of the price of disposable nappies and help to reduce landfill waste.
