Are cloth nappies worth it? Discover the cost savings, eco benefits, and comfort that make modern cloth nappies a smart choice for Aussie families.
Cloth nappies have made a big comeback in recent years, but many parents still wonder:
“Are they really worth it?”
From cost savings to comfort, here’s what makes cloth nappies a smart choice for families.
🌿 1. The Cost Savings
Disposable nappies cost the average Australian family $2,500–$4,000 per child.
In comparison, a stash of 20–24 Cloth Nappies 2.0 costs under $1,000 — and can last through multiple children. Even with washing costs factored in, you’ll still save $2,000+ per child.
🌿 2. The Environmental Impact
Each child in disposables adds around 1 tonne of waste to landfill, where nappies can take 300–500 years to break down.
Cloth nappies replace thousands of disposables with a set you wash, reuse, and even pass down to siblings. That’s sustainability made simple.
🌿 3. The Comfort Factor
Our nappies feature a soft bamboo fleece inner lining, a breathable waterproof outer, and absorbent bamboo inserts. They’re designed to be gentle on delicate skin while keeping leaks at bay.
🌿 4. The Convenience
Modern cloth nappies are nothing like the old terry squares. With snaps for adjustable sizing, double gussets for leak protection, and inserts for custom absorbency, they’re as easy to use as disposables — just wash and reuse.
🌿 5. The Lifestyle Choice
For many families, cloth nappies are about more than nappies. They represent a choice to live sustainably, save money, and create healthy routines that align with their values.
The bottom line?
Yes — cloth nappies are worth it. They save families thousands, reduce waste dramatically, and keep your baby comfortable with every change.
