Common Cloth Nappy Concerns

It’s normal for parents new to reusable nappies to have questions. Modern cloth nappies are designed to make the process simple and practical for everyday family life.

Do cloth nappies smell?

When washed regularly using a proper washing routine, cloth nappies should not develop strong odours. Washing every two to three days with enough detergent keeps nappies fresh and hygienic.

Are cloth nappies difficult to wash?

Most parents find that once they have a routine in place, cloth nappies are simply another load of laundry. A short pre-wash followed by a main wash keeps nappies clean and ready to use again.

Do cloth nappies leak?

Modern cloth nappies are designed with features that help prevent leaks, such as absorbent inserts and protective leg gussets. With the correct fit and absorbency, many families find cloth nappies perform just as well as disposable nappies.

Are cloth nappies expensive?

Although the upfront cost can be higher than disposables, reusable nappies are used hundreds of times. Many families save a significant amount compared with buying disposable nappies every week.

Some Australian councils also offer cloth nappy rebates to help reduce the initial cost.

Cloth nappies are easier than most parents expect.
