Plastic Free July is the perfect time to make small swaps that have a big impact — and switching to reusable nappies is a great place to start. Whether you’re new to the world of reusables or just looking to level up your eco game, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Let’s dive into how you can go reusable this July with confidence (and a little extra cuteness)!
Why Go Reusable?
Every disposable nappy ever made still exists. That’s a lot of landfill. By making the switch to reusable nappies — even part-time — you’ll be keeping hundreds of nappies out of landfill and reducing your plastic waste significantly.
Reusable nappies aren’t just better for the planet. They’re also gentler on your baby’s skin, save you money over time, and come in beautiful prints that make changing time a little more joyful.
Getting Started Is Easier Than You Think
You don’t need a huge stash to begin. Many families start part-time with just 5–10 nappies and grow their collection over time. Our all-in-one, one-size nappies are super easy to use — just like a disposable but way more sustainable. They grow with your baby from around 10lbs to potty training, meaning fewer nappies needed overall.
And with our Peppa Pig Nappy Bundles now available in 5, 15, or 30 packs, it’s easy to start small or go all-in.
Don’t Forget the Wet Bags!
A good wet bag (or two!) will make your reusable journey so much smoother. Use them for storing used nappies on the go, keeping clean nappies organised, or even packing swimwear and snacks. We have wet bags in a range of sizes — including our best-selling nappy pods — and right now they’re **50% OFF** for Plastic Free July.
Try Reusable Swim Nappies
Heading to the beach or pool? Reusable swim nappies are a summer must-have. Ours are one-size, adjustable, and made in the same award-winning style as our all-in-one nappies. They won’t swell like disposables, are easy to wash, and look absolutely adorable in the sun.
What You’ll Need
Here’s a quick starter checklist:
-
5–15 reusable nappies (to start part-time)
-
Wet bag(s) in small, medium, or XL for storage
-
Nappy pods for organising
-
Reusable wipes (optional but highly recommended)
-

Small Swaps, Big Impact
Plastic Free July isn’t about being perfect — it’s about doing what you can. Even using just one reusable nappy a day keeps over 365 disposables out of landfill per year. That’s a swap worth making.
So if you’ve been curious about going reusable, now’s your moment. You don’t have to do it all, just start somewhere — and we’re here to help.
Happy Plastic Free July from all of us at Modern Cloth Nappies!
