Natural reusable menstrual products are a great choice for your period. By making a natural choice, you can be sure that you are reducing the number of chemicals your body comes into contact with. You are also helping the environment. Organic cotton For some time now, I’ve wanted to add a range of reusable menstrual pads that were made of natural fibres. Our popular range of current pads is a great way to get into making the switch to washable products. However, some people have been looking for something that is a bit more natural. I was really excited when I found a range of organic cotton pads that I could introduce to the Nappyneedz range. Not only were the fabrics made from natural fibres, but the cotton used is grown organically. Choice of natural fabrics Our great new natural reusable menstrual products come in a choice of two organic fabrics. The twill pads are made from the same fabric that our organic prefold nappies are made from. They have a natural, unbleached colou...

New nappy prints are always exciting and we are thrilled to announce our new range. The dinky nappy has long been a popular choice. Now available in five new designs; arrow, moustache, alien, elephant and whale. Dinky pocket nappy Designed here in New Zealand after years of trial and error, the dinky nappy is a nappy with lots of features. I had used cloth nappies on my two older children and been making and designing cloth nappies at this time. The final design was settled on when my third child was tiny. I tested them on her and her younger sister who was born a few years later. Now we are finally adding to the nappy range with these new prints. Designed to fit a great range of sizes, the dinky nappy is a true OSFM nappy. With sizing snaps on the front of the nappy to reduce the length of the nappy, it also features back snaps. These snaps help to reduce the width of the nappy giving a better fit on tiny newborn babies. The nappy also features deep leg gussets to help prevent leaks a...

One size fits most cloth nappies can be a great choice for your baby. Once you have made the initial purchase, you won’t need to buy more nappies. They will grow with your baby, saving you money. What are the best types to try? How do you know if they are the right choice for your little one? Read on to learn more. How do OSFM nappies work? The basic idea behind a OSFM cloth nappy is simple. The nappy can be adjusted to make it small enough to fit a tiny baby and then it can be let out to fit an older child. There are a number of ways that this can be achieved, but one of the most popular is rise snaps. These are the snaps that you can see on the front of this type of nappy. The idea is that by snapping them closed, it reduces the rise of the nappy. The rise is the distance from the front waistband to the rear, passing between the legs. This does make a much smaller nappy or outer, but as it can sometimes still be bulky across the back, our dinky nappies also feature snaps at the...
