Saving money with reusable nappies

On average, a baby will need around 5,000 nappies before they’re fully potty trained, so reducing the amount you spend on nappies can make a really big difference to your budget for the first two and a half years or so.

With reusable nappies there is a higher start-up cost. Prices will vary in price depending the type you choose, the outlet you buy them from and the costs of laundry from your utilities provider or nappy laundry service. However, over the course of an average of two and a half years before babies are potty trained, using reusable nappies can save you up to a whopping £600 or more, including laundry costs. Plus, you can sell on your reusables and make money back. Find out more at Are reusable nappies worth it?

Using reusable nappies part time alongside disposables, allows families to enjoy the environmental benefits and money savings of the cloth nappy while maintaining convenience in certain situations like travel or childcare.

Benefits of reusable nappies

1. Better for the environment: On average, 128,000 babies are born in London every year. If each of them used at least 4,000 single-use nappies over 2.5 years, 512 million nappies would be wasted over that time, with most going to incineration. Switching to reusables is one of the easiest ways your family will reduce your waste, saving space in your bin. The removable liners mean you don’t have to wash the whole nappy, saving water and electricity. Even if you just use them occasionally, you are still making a difference. By using just one reusable nappy in place of a disposable every day can save a staggering 912 nappies from landfill or incineration – all from just one baby!
2. Better for your baby’s skin: Parents often say that a reusable nappy is better for their child’s skin. Reusable nappies are mostly made of natural materials rather than plastics or chemicals found in disposable nappies.
3. Better for your budget: Initially the cost of buying the reusable set of nappies seems expensive. However, you save you upwards of £1000 before your baby is potty trained when compared to purchasing disposable nappies. This takes into account the cost of purchasing, washing and drying reusable nappies. If you use your reusable nappies for additional children you could double your savings!
