The total cost of using real nappies can be half that of using disposables.
By the time your baby is potty trained you could use between 4000 to 6000 disposable nappies.
This will cost a minimum of £488 and may be as much as £732.
By comparison you only need 25-30 real nappies costing as little as £185 including washing!
Further savings can be achieved by using the same real nappies for a second or third child.
For extra convenience, local nappy laundries offer weekly services that collect used nappies and provide a fresh supply, laundered to the highest standards, all for a cost similar to that of buying disposables.
