After the birth of a small child in the family, as a rule, order, peace and money disappear. But happiness comes. And our family was no exception. After our long-awaited baby was born, I wanted to give him all the best: clothes, toys and, of course, diapers. Where today without them? However, after several weeks of using them, I began to think about how much money goes straight into the bin. And I really did not want to refuse convenient disposable diapers and use the "grandmother's method". And at that moment the Internet came to my rescue, in which I saw reusable diapers. The recall of the mother who had already used them was quite impressive. I became interested in this topic, I had to dig a bit on the Internet and study the information.
Reusable nappies. Reviews and tips for choosing them
From a huge list of products offered, I mapped onto the Coolababy brand. Coolababy reusable diapers are available in a very wide range. They are on buttons or Velcro, the outer layer is made of polyester or velor, plain and colored, with a single or double elastic band that protects the diaper from leaking. Inserts also come in several fabric options : microfiber, bamboo fiber and hemp.
To get started, I ordered classic button nappies with a cute baby picture. A little later, a few more pieces. She took twice as many inserts as diapers, and did not lose. So, one diaper can be used several times if you do not put the insert in your pocket, but simply put it on top of reusable diapers. The price for them was in the range of 300 - 500 rubles (for one diaper and two liners). And they paid off quite quickly, because one set (diaper and liner) is equal to one pack of diapers. Sometimes, of course, you have to use ordinary diapers, for example, if you have a long road to go, but basically you can do with reusable diapers, having at least 4-5 pieces and about ten loose leaves in your arsenal.
So, what are reusable diapers good for? A recall is a recall, but it will not hurt to have some useful information. Firstly, reusable diapers are made of natural hypoallergenic breathing fabric, so they do not cause allergies or diaper rash on the delicate skin of the baby. Secondly, thanks to the use of reusable diapers, the child quickly learns to potty. In addition, diapers have many rivets, with which you can adjust the size from birth to 3 years. They are washed in a washing machine with ordinary powder. Their service life is so long that they can serve for the next child. Thus, they will save a lot of money for parents, for which not only a good toy can be bought, but also a whole children's room.
Reusable nappies. Feedback and tips for using them
Reusable diapers, like any thing, need care. If you follow a few important rules, then they can serve even one child. Immediately after the acquisition, they must be washed. Wash at a temperature indicated on the label, using a baby powder or a baby detergent. Do not use rinse aid, fabric softener, as the diaper may leak due to them. Also, do not iron them or dry them on a heated towel rail. It is advisable to wash the diaper within 24 hours after use, otherwise an unpleasant odor may appear. Diapers dry long enough - from 12 to 24 hours, so it is better to have at least one spare.
