🌿 Why Cloth Can Be Better for Skin
Cloth nappies are breathable and free from the chemicals often found in disposables. This makes them gentler on sensitive skin and less likely to cause irritation.
Our Cloth Nappies 2.0 are made with soft, baby-friendly materials designed for comfort.

🧺 Washing Matters
Build-up of detergent or ammonia can cause rashes. That’s why a solid wash routine is key. Follow our Washing Guide to keep nappies clean, fresh, and skin-safe.

💧 Change Frequently
No matter the nappy, moisture against the skin for long periods can cause irritation. With cloth, aim to change every 2–3 hours during the day, and use boosters for overnight protection.

🍼 Use Liners for an Extra Barrier
Reusable bamboo liners or disposable bamboo bio-liners help wick away moisture and protect baby’s skin. They’re also great for easier clean-up when solids are in the mix. Check out our Travel Essentials Collection for liners and boosters.

☀️ Air Time Helps
Letting your baby go nappy-free for short periods helps skin breathe and recover if any redness appears.
