This scheme lets families try reusable nappies before actually buying a full set, making it easier to save money and reduce waste. 

We provide a trial pack of reusable nappies worth over £50 for £5. The packs are for children under 18 months old (one pack per child). 

 

Why reusable nappies matter  

Saves money  

Reusable nappies can save you up to £1000 over 2 and a half years for one baby. If you use them for another child, you can save even more 

Natural materials  

Disposable nappies are made from oil, plastic, and chemicals. These chemicals have not been tested for long-term use. Reusable nappies are often made from natural materials like bamboo or cotton. They do not have active chemicals. 

Reduces waste  

Over 58,800 disposable nappies are thrown away in Redbridge every day! Each nappy takes up to 500 years to break down. Using reusable nappies can cut carbon emissions from nappies by 40%.
