Nappyneedz Cloth Nappies

Image
 Nappyneedz was a cloth nappy and reusable menstrual product business based in Dunedin New Zealand between November 2010 and December 2023. The business closed down, but rather than getting rid of the website entirely, it has been decided to keep the blog pages and other information. There are no plans to add to the blog posts that appear on this website, but hopefully you will find some of the information from Nappyneedz Cloth Nappies helpful. Please use the search option at the top of the page to track down anything that you need to know. You can also find some of our pages on the left. Nappyneedz was also the home of Ecobots cloth nappies. This was a business set up in Christchurch in around 2006 and then sold to Nappyneedz in 2013. You can find lots of information about this type of prefold nappy on the website. See the link on the left. You may find that links on blog posts and pages no longer work. I will try and update them over time, but it may take a while. You can use the...

Cloth Nappy Business For Sale

Cloth nappy business for sale. After 13 years with the current owners, Nappyneedz is looking for someone new to take it to the next level. An established cloth nappy brand I opened Nappyneedz in 2010 after the birth of my third baby. I wanted something that gave me the chance to work from home and that fit in with my interest in cloth nappies and eco-friendly products. To begin with I made all of the nappies myself, but over time I moved to having the made overseas. We have several reliable manufacturers, based in Pakistan and China who make nappies to our tried and tested patterns. After the first few years of trading, we expanded further, buying another nappy brand; Ecobots .
