MOTHER NATURE - FITTED NATURE NAPPY!
The Nature Fitted Cloth Nappy is Mother Nature's signature nappy, tried and tested on 1st, 2nd and 3rd baby. The secret? The entire nappy is made from absorbent bamboo towelling. Light and airy for summer days but add a Waterproof Rainbow Cover and Bamboo Insert and you have yourself a bomb-proof nappy for night time and travels.
Product Features at a Glance:
- Adjusts to fit from birth to potty training and any size in-between.
- Elasticized waist and legs give a snug and leak-proof fit.
- Plastic poppers are used to fasten the nappy. These snap on easily and are very strong and durable.
- Made from 100% natural bamboo-cotton toweling which is not only more eco-friendly to manufacture but it is 4 times more absorbent than cotton.
What size will this nappy fit?
The Mother Nature Fitted Cloth Nappy is a One Size design that adjusts to fit from birth to potty training and any size in-between! Elasticized waist & legs give this nappy a snug & leak-proof fit and the nappy is shaped to give it trim lines and an un-bulky finish. The nappy is fastened with strength-tested plastic poppers.
About Fitted Nappies:
As the name suggests, a fitted nappy is one where the nappy has elastic around the waist for a great fit. No folding required. They are shaped like disposable nappies and close with snaps or Velcro. These nappies are often called ‘bomb proof’ as the entire nappy is made from ultra absorbent bamboo and cotton and the elastic at the legs makes them excellent at containing messes. They require a separate, waterproof nappy cover.
What else will I need?
Fitted cloth nappies are designed without a PUL water-proof layer which gives you the versatility to choose from your favorite type/style of waterproofing cover, or to simply go without on those very hot playing-in-the-garden days. Try the Mother Nature Fitted Cloth Nappy with a wool or fleece cover at night for that extra boost of leak-protection while baby sleeps. During the day PUL covers such as the Mother Nature Rainbow covers are ideal. Try a cute, printed cover to celebrate special occasions such as birthday's or Christmas, or to match baby's favorite outfit.
Washing Instructions:
- Wash the nappies once before use to increase the absorbency.
- Once used, keep wet nappies in a dry, lidded bucket until washed.
- Rinse off all solid matter very well.
- Place rinsed nappy in the dry bucket.
- Only pre-soak badly soiled nappies in non-chlorine based products. Try 5 drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil to a bucket of water as a soak solution or a tablespoon of ordinary sodium bicarbonate.
- During periods of frequent soiling (e.g. weaning phase) it is suggested that you use a 2-bucket system, one for soaking soiled nappies and the other being a dry bucket for wet only nappies.
- Do not use softener as this reduces the absorbency of the nappies.
- ALWAYS ensure that the washing powder/cleaning agents used are safe on your baby's skin to avoid irritations. We recommend the Triple Orange Bio-Detergent.
- Wash nappies at 50 - 60 °c. Consistent hot washing and high tumble-drying causes hardness and some shrinkage.
Drying Tips:
Line dry and/or tumble-dry on low.
In winter use a local laundrette for drying only as this is often cheaper than wash & dry.
Try a second spin cycle to squeeze out the excess water.
Do not iron or dry-clean.
Directions for Use"
- Place the Nature Nappy on top of the cover with the T-side upwards.
- OPTIONAL: Place a nappy liner flat on top of the inner absorbing bamboo pad (Bio-Degradable Flushable Liner or a Fleece Nappy Liner).
- Place under your baby and fasten with the poppers on the Nature Nappy, then adjust the fastenings on the cover.
- FOR NEWBORNS (to about 7kgs): To reduce the size of the nappy, tuck the inner flap/pad under itself. Fold the front panel of the Nature Nappy down (outwards) and then use the bottom row of poppers to fasten.
- Check that the cover fits snugly around baby's waist and thighs and tuck away the liner and nature nappy all the way around in order to prevent leaks.
Tips:
Use either a Bio-Degradable Flushable Liner or a Nappy Fleece Liner inside the nappy. The liners allow urine to pass through thus keeping delicate bottoms drier for longer as well as protecting the nappy from becoming heavily soiled. The solids are then disposed by flushing down the toilet, either with the bio liner or by shaking off the solids then putting the liner in the bin.
Use a Booster Pad for extra absorbency, for example at night.
Separate Nappy and Cover Design: A waterproof cover is worn over the Mother Nature Fitted Cloth Nappy to keep baby dry.
Wash the Nature Nappy once before use to increase the absorbency. Maximum absorbency will be reached after approximately 10 washes.
Change your baby's nappy on average 5 times per day or whenever you are aware that the nappy is wet.
Do not leave the wet nappy as this will cause skin irritation from prolonged exposure to the uric acid in urine and faeces.
We recommend the Mother Nature Barrier Balm for effective prevention of nappy rash.
