Here's how to reduce your family's carbon footprint - 100% shaped cotton nappies. Tendersoft, absorbent and easy to use. So easy to wash and dry. These need to be pre-washed before you start to use to make them more absorbent and softer. (Note: They will shrink to proper size after washing). Use Non-bio powder and NO fabric conditioner. The more you wash, the softer they become - and more absorbent. They will last you from baby to baby making them excellent value!

These cloth nappies are made from several layers of absorbent cotton. They fit around your baby comfortably and need a waterproof wrap over the top. They need no pins. This nappy is very popular because the ease with which you can use them. Really useful when baby is a heavy wetter. Can also be used as a booster pad for heavy wetters with any other type of nappy.

Cloth nappy users can reduce their environmental impact by:

• Line drying outside whenever possible
• Tumble drying as little as possible
• When replacing appliances, choosing more energy efficient appliances (A+ rated machines are preferred)
• Not washing above 60°C
• Washing fuller loads
• Reusing nappies on other children.

Remember to look at your local Council website for cash incentives to use real nappies.

Real Nappy Week highlighted how parents can help combat climate change by using natural nappies. The annual campaign was co-ordinated by Women's Environmental Network and the Real Nappy Campaign to raise awareness of the benefits of modern, washable nappies. All nappies use energy, whether it's to make disposables or to wash real ones. Taking everything into account, washing nappies at home leads to less climate change impact than using disposables. Eight million disposable nappies are thrown away every day in the UK so using natural nappies could also save tons of waste and money. A recent survey found 85% of women are very concerned about the effects of climate change on future generations. Using real nappies in the recommended way offers parents of young children one way they can act on CO2 and make a difference. Parents can help to counter climate change and protect their babies' future with easy to use, modern, self-fastening real nappies. The most climate friendly option is using real nappies. It could save them money too.

Nearly 3 billion disposable nappies are thrown away in the UK every year creating 670,000 tons of nappy waste.
