Prior to Nixon’s pull-through operation to help his Hirschspungs Disease we were using cloth nappies. I invested the money, got my little system sorted and felt good about what we were doing. I was soon to realise that cloth diapering is very, very easy when you have a baby that never, ever poops. Post-op, things were radically different. Nixon’s shorter bowell was fully operational within 15 minutes of waking from anaesthesia and pretty much didn’t stop for about a month. It’s a miracle that his little baby toosh isn’t scarred from the nappy rash that ensued!
Anyway, I digress as usual……..It was at this particularly difficult time that I packaged up the cloth nappies and eagerly sold them on Trade Me, happy to never see another insert or pocket ever, ever again.
Having an eco-friendly alternative to cloth diapering is so important, because, let’s face it, cloth is not for everyone. I love disposable nappies. There. I said it.
What is super cool is that now we do have a choice. We were sent some of the New Precious Eco Nappies to try and Nix has now been wearing them exclusively for the past week. Did I mention that Nix has had rotavirus over the past week? No? I’m sure there is no better road test for a nappy than a Hirschsprung’s kid with rotavirus lol {I’m actually crying on the inside}.
Verdict: Great. Super. No leaks. Can’t believe I’m saying that after the week we’ve had but it’s true! A little less stretch than regular disposables but pretty much a non-issue.
New Precious Eco Nappies are 75% biodegradable and compostable in managed landfill and composting facilities, and just the answer for those mums that worry about the environmental implications of conventional disposable nappies.
New Precious Eco Nappies come in six sizes including Newborn, Infant, Crawler, Toddler, Walker and Junior and are available from all New World and Pak’n Save supermarkets as well as online from The Wholesale Nappy Company. Recommended retail price is $11.99.
