Construction
All nappies at ROCK-A-BUY-BABY are constructed with a PUL (polyurethane laminate) outer lining. This allows us to offer our customers a fantastic range of colours and custom prints, while at the same time maintaining a waterproof and more importantly leak proof nappy!
The inner lining, up against your baby’s skin is made from 100% bamboo microfiber polar fleece. This material is soft, naturally antibacterial and is free from the nasty chemicals that are found in many disposable nappies. Bamboo is also incredibly fast drying, which makes for a fast turnaround when washing when compared to other cloth nappies.
The insert, which comes complimentary with any nappy purchased on our website, contains 5 layers of construction. 3 layers of highly absorbent microfiber are sandwiched between 2 layers of antibacterial bamboo for the perfect balance of dryness and comfort. These liners along with the nappies themselves are also very quick to dry.
All nappies at ROCK-A-BUY-BABY have rows of snap buttons built into the outer layer. There are 10 snaps across the top of the nappy. These snaps control the width of the nappy around your baby’s waist. There are also additional snaps on each of the tabs allowing you to cross over for additional tightness. Below this are 2 lines of 4 snaps that allow you to adjust the nappy around your baby’s legs. Lastly there are 3 rows of 3 snaps which control the overall length and size of the nappy.
This design allows for one nappy to be able to fit your child from birth right up until toilet training! (From 3kg up to approximately 17kg).
After just over 2 years of using disposable nappies, Ive recently purchased some Rock-a-buy baby re-usable nappies and my toddler loves them. They are sooo much softer than anything else Ive seen and hes is obviously a lot more comfortable in them, frequently requesting them when I try and put a disposable on.
I was hesitant at first with the washing etc involved, but they are really easy to clean, and stay super soft after washing (no smells either!)
My toddler is in the early stages of toilet training and was frequently asking for nappy changes after one wee (obviously uncomfortable), and goin through heaps of disposable nappies ($$$). With the switch to Rock-a-buy baby nappies, hes happy to leave the nappy on for more than one wee and much more comfortable :)
Save Money!
While the initial cost of reusable nappies can seem to be high, when you consider the long term cost of the disposable alternatives, cloth is a much cheaper option. Our ROCK-A-BUY-BABY Modern Cloth Nappies are a quality investment that can be used over and over again and save you thousands of dollars in the long run. Consider the following breakdown of the cost of disposable nappies vrs our ROCK-A-BUNDLE
Each disposable nappy will cost anywhere from 30 – 55c each depending on the brand / quality that you choose and the age of your child. The cheaper nappies do not last as long and experience more leaks and as a result you end up using more than the premium option. For the sake of calculation we have estimated a cost of 50c per disposable nappy, and averaged out the number of changes per day and night with this quality nappy to be 7.
The average age for boy toddlers to be toilet trained is 31months and the average age for girls, 29 months. We have assumed the average of 30 months for this calculation. There is an average of 4.34812 weeks per calendar month and seven days in a week, so the average child wears nappies for 913 days (30 x 4.34812 x 7 = 913).
From birth to toilet training:
913 days with 7 nappy changes a day is over 6390 nappies at a cost of at least $3195!
From 6 months old to toilet training:
730 days, over 5113 nappies costing over $2555.
From 12 months old your child still has:
550 days, over 3850 nappies, a whopping $2925.
From 18 months:
365 days, over 2555 nappies, more than $1275.
Even from 24 months:
182 days, STILL 1275 nappies, and a cost of over $635!
Compare this to 20 of our ROCK-A-BUY-BABY reusable bamboo modern cloth nappies, all the nappies you need from birth to toilet training, for just $240!
So no matter the age of your child in nappies it makes sense to swap now to ROCK-A-BUY-BABY and start saving money today. While the cost of disposable nappies doubles with the arrival of a new baby your ROCK-A-BUY-BABY nappies will last you for your second child too, saving you even more!
