Why Use Reusable Swim Nappies?

June 18, 2018

There are many reasons to consider using reusable swim nappies. Arguably, the 2 major factors are that they are much more cost effective (one nappy can last up to a year) and they are a lot better for the environment.

The production of a reusable swim nappy creates less CO2 during manufacture than disposables, and they are not immediately destined for landfill.

Not only that, you will always have a swim nappy available, no quick trips to the shop before lessons, and they are a lot more gentle on baby's sensitive skin.

In this guide we will look into the reasons why reusable Swim nappies are the best choice.
