If you’re looking for an easy place to start, our swim nappies and wet bags are a great introduction to reusables – and they're just as cute as they are clever.
When the sun is shining and the paddling pool is out, there’s nothing better than a summer spent outdoors with your little one. But while you're soaking up the sunshine, it’s also the perfect time to embrace a few easy, eco-friendly swaps that are gentle on the planet and just as practical for baby.
Whether you're heading to the beach, a playdate in the park or just pottering in the garden, here are a few of our favourite eco-conscious summer essentials to pack in your nappy bag!
Say goodbye to soggy disposables at the pool. Our reusable swim nappies are soft, stretchy and mess-containment champions, all without the bulk. They don’t swell up in water like disposables do, and they come in gorgeous prints your little water baby will love. They’re machine washable, super comfy and better for the planet (and your holiday packing space).
2. Wet Bags (trust us, you’ll want more than one)
Whether it’s damp swimsuits, sandy clothes or a quick nappy change on the go, a good wet bag is a summer lifesaver. We have a range of sizes to suit every day out – from mini bags for wipes to large ones for swim kits or full days at the beach. They’re leak-resistant, washable and endlessly useful for daycare, travel and more.
Our One Size All-In-One nappies are ideal for summer days when you want something breathable and easy. They adjust to fit from baby to toddler and come in lots of fun seasonal prints. Whether you're part-time or full-time with cloth, even using a few reusables each day makes a big impact.
Warm weather = sticky fingers, ice-cream spills and sandy toes. Reusable wipes are a summer essential for cleaning up all kinds of messes. Just add water and go. They're soft on skin, easy to wash and can be used again and again.
5. Lightweight Layers
Look for breathable fabrics like organic cotton and bamboo that help keep baby cool while being kind to their skin. Natural fibres not only feel better but are often more durable and better for the planet.
6. Sun-Safe Essentials
Hats, UPF swimwear and shaded play spaces are all great for keeping your little one protected. Choose long-lasting items that can be passed down, and look for mineral-based sunscreens in recyclable packaging if possible.
Why it matters
Choosing reusable, sustainable baby gear not only saves waste but often saves you money too. You’ll be surprised how small swaps like switching to a swim nappy or using wet bags can make your summer simpler and more eco-friendly.
Let this summer be the one where you make a few small switches that feel good and do good!
