How to Use Terry Nappies for Your Baby’s Nappy or Diaper Needs

Most people who have had a baby know vaguely about the humble terry nappy. Terry nappies are a longstanding tradition in the world of cute baby stuff, they have been used for a long time.  Our grandmothers and their grandmothers would have known and used terry nappies, because that’s all there was, once upon a time. These days disposables are sold as the only option, in fact they are given out in the hospitals when babies are born, so parents go home using disposable nappies and they may not even consider that cloth nappies exist.  But they certainly do and they will make your shopping bill a whole lot cheaper every week – disposable nappies cost anywhere from 20c to $1 each, the bigger the baby is of course the more they cost, plus the eco-friendly ones are more expensive as are the better brands – and often people find that the cheaper brands give their babies nappy rash.  That won’t happen if you use terry nappies, though – use a simple and cheap cloth nappy liner between baby’s bottom and the nappy cotton, and their bottom will stay nice and dry, so they won’t get a rash.  Of course you still need to change them straight away if they do a poo in the nappy.

Terry towelling nappies are easy to use for your baby’s nappy needs – simply fold the terry into a fold that suits your baby – there are folds ranging from newborn up to walker – fix around baby using a Snappi or Nappy Nippa (a bendy little thing you can buy at the chemist’s or drugstore or even grocery supermarket – it has grippy ends that grab the terry nappy so you don’t ever have to use a pin) and pop on a nappy cover, which will be either pull-up, snap fasteners or velcro/aplix.  Terry nappy covers are made from either wool, or PUL or some other synthetic fibre.  Wool is the best, followed by PUL.  And that is all there is to it!
