Real vs disposables - £££

Think cloth is expensive?

Here, we compare the cost of reusable (cloth) nappies to disposables, illustrating just how much you can save...

Disposable nappies cost at least £800 per child not including wipes & nappy sacks & equipment like bins. Plus the environmental cost is (largely) incalculable.
