What Will I Need?

As a general guide, you will need somewhere between 15-25 reusable nappies (depending on how often you intend to wash) and if you are opting for a 2-part system (nappy and waterproof cover) you will need only about 4-5 of the covers/wraps, as these only need to be washed every few uses or when soiled.

If you opt for a quick drying type of nappy, then you can get away with less nappies in total as your rotation will be quicker.

Real Nappy Packs

Accessories

Boosters - Nappy Boosters are one of those "must have" items. For as little as £12 you can get 10 bamboo boosters, that can be used inside any of your nappies to give them an extra boost of absorbency when required.

Liners - Disposable nappy liners are optional, but can be very useful during weaning and when things are a little more solid.

Bucket or Large Wet Bag - You may choose to store your wet nappies in a bucket at home, or opt for a waterproof hanging pail. Either option works well.

Small Wet Bag- An out-and-about wet nappy bag is essential if you are using cloth out of the home. Simply transfer your used nappies into your hanging pail or bucket when you get home.
