Cloth nappies are often misunderstood. We bust the biggest myths about cloth nappies — from leaks to cost — so you can feel confident making the switch.
Thinking about cloth nappies but not sure if they’re right for you?
Chances are you’ve heard a few myths along the way. Let’s clear them up once and for all, so you can make an informed choice for your family.
🌿 Myth 1: Cloth Nappies Are Too Hard to Use
Reality: Modern cloth nappies are as easy as snapping them on, just like a disposable. Our Cloth Nappies 2.0 feature simple snaps for a secure, adjustable fit — no pins, no folding.
🌿Myth 2: Cloth Nappies Leak More
Reality: Leaks happen with any nappy if the fit isn’t right. Cloth nappies with double gussets and bamboo inserts are highly absorbent and reliable — often outperforming disposables when fitted correctly.
🌿 Myth 3: Cloth Nappies Smell
Reality: When washed properly, cloth nappies smell no different than your baby’s clothes. Our Washing Guide makes it simple to keep nappies fresh and hygienic.
🌿Myth 4: They’re More Expensive
Reality: The upfront cost is higher, but over 2–3 years, cloth saves families $2,000+ per child compared to disposables. Plus, nappies can be reused for siblings, stretching your investment further.
🌿Myth 5: Cloth Nappies Are Bulky
Reality: Today’s modern designs are trimmer than ever. Our Cloth Nappies 2.0 are designed to sit comfortably under clothing without restricting movement.
The bottom line?
Cloth nappies aren’t old-fashioned, messy, or complicated. They’re modern, effective, eco-friendly, and easier to use than most people think.
