CLOTH NAPPIES
All cloth nappies come with an adjustable, waterproof outer shell and an inner lining which makes up the pocket. The nappies cannot be left to dry in direct sunlight as it diminishes the quality of the waterproofing and can lead to unwanted leaks.
ADULT
Our adult cloth nappies are adjustable and therefore assist in ensuring a perfect fit for all shapes and sizes. This will enable those who are depended on nappies, either full-time or part-time, to feel confident that there will not be any leaks. Nappies also come in a variety of colours which improve self-esteem and self-confidence as they do not look and feel like nappies, but rather like underwear.
These nappies adjust using a variety of snaps and can be adjusted in the length of the nappy as well as around the waist providing proper fit. They also do not catch onto other nappies when washing, unlike their Velcro counterparts. The nappies also open up completely flat and are therefore easy to transfer on and off during bladder and bowel management programs.
These nappies are less adjustable, however are easier to use, especially for those with limited grip strength and hand use and who want to remain independent. Like the snap nappies, they also open up completely flat and are therefore easy to transfer on and off during bladder and bowel management programs.
Inserts are placed into the pocket nappies. The various layers assist in absorbing and holding large amounts of urine. The greater the amount of urine, the more inserts can be added into the pocket and individualised to your specific needs. Inserts can be washed and either sundried or tumbled dried (see wash and care instructions).
· 5-layer charcoal bamboo and microfibre blend
This is a combination of a microfibre which is a synthetic material. This material absorbs liquid quickly but cannot absorb great amounts of liquid. The bamboo is a natural fibre which also absorbs liquid quickly but can keep greater amounts of liquid before becoming saturated. This insert is highly recommended for both bladder and bowel incontinence.
· 4-layer microfibre
This insert is for the ‘not so heavy wetter’ or to prevent accidents when used in conjunction with a bladder management programme.
CHILDREN
These pockets come with snaps to ensure a snug fit, preventing leaks. These nappies are recommended for use from approximately 5kg, upwards and are therefore not suitable for new-borns. They also need to be used with inserts.

RE-USABLE PADS
Reusable breast pads can be washed and dry relatively quickly in the sun or in the tumble dryer (see wash and care instructions). These come in a pack of 8 and in a variety of colours. They are made from a combination of absorbent bamboo and microfibre. Reusable breast pads are designed to be highly absorbent lined with a waterproof material at the back to prevent leaks.
Menstrual pads can be washed and reused. They are made from a highly absorbent charcoal bamboo and a waterproof lower layer and have plastic snaps which secure the pad onto your underwear.
SWIMMING
Swimming nappies also have snaps like the pocket nappies in order to achieve the perfect fit at the waist and around the front and back. They have an inner mesh layer which acts like a net an can be used independently or underneath a swimming costume. Swimming nappies are designed to catch poop and stop it from floating around the pool, however, liquids pass through the nappy. These nappies can be easily rinsed, washed, either by hand or in the machine (see wash and care instructions).
