Cloth Nappies: How They Can Save You Thousands

Raising children isn’t cheap, and nappies are one of those ongoing costs that quickly add up. From newborn to potty training, most parents spend a small fortune on disposables - literally throwing money away. 

But there’s another way! Cloth nappies not only reduce waste, but they can also save you thousands of pounds over the course of your child’s nappy-wearing years.

Let’s break it down.

On average, babies need nappies for around 2.5 years. During that time, most parents will change 4–8 nappies a day (more for newborns, fewer for toddlers). Over the years, that adds up to a lot of nappies—and a lot of money.

• Average disposable nappy: £0.15–£0.25 each
  
  

• Average changes per day: 6
  
  

• Average yearly cost: £330–£550
  
  

• Over 2.5 years: £825–£1,375 per child
  
  

And that’s just for one child. If you have two or three children, the costs climb into several thousands.

Instead of buying nappies one by one, investing in a full kit makes cloth nappying simple and cost-effective.

Add in ongoing washing and drying costs (around £50–£80 per year), and you’re looking at:

• 2.5 years of use (one child): £528.97–£603.97
  
  

• Reused for a second child: only £125–£160 extra in washing
