Real nappies

Why go real?

Save money...

Going Real saves money for both parents and our communities. For every year a baby is in nappies, he or she will need nearly 2,000 nappy changes. With potty training averaging at two and a half years, that is nearly 5,000 nappies per child!

At an average cost of 16p per disposable, between them parents in England and Wales are spending approximately half a billion pounds on disposable nappies every year.

Recent research by Go Real shows that parents can save anything from £150 to over a £1000 over the lifetime of using nappies, depending on their choice of nappies- those are huge savings for cash-strapped families. (And those savings stack up even further when nappies are used on a second- and a third child...)

Better for the environment....

Go Real also estimates, with the vast majority of the 813,000 (and rising) babies born in England and Wales each year using disposables, that’s a staggering 3 billion disposable nappies being used- which translates into over 355,000 tonnes of waste produced and an annual disposal cost  to local authorities (and tax payers) of £32 million.

It is not just our local community that benefits, but our wider environment as well. Reports have shown that a 40% carbon saving can be made through using reusable nappies compared to using disposables- and yes that includes the washing!
