The Modern Cloth Nappy Revolution!

Introducing Eco Bums - The Cloth Nappy Library





Eco Bums The Cloth Nappy Library came about due to the frustration of too much choice when it came to choosing types and brands of modern cloth nappies on the market.

Exploring MCN’s (Modern Cloth Nappies) can be a daunting experience. There are so many brands and styles on the market to choose from that it can be difficult to know where to start.

That’s where Eco Bums come in!

They have sourced what they believe to be the best that the market has to offer and packed them into kits for you to hire. By hiring out a kit of nappies you can use the different types at home and decide what suits you and your baby best. All brands in the pack are also available to purchase.

And what's even better than 'trying before you buy'? Thanks to a partnership with KESAB environmental solutions and Zero Waste SA, Eco Bums are now working together to demonstrate the environmental benefits of using cloth nappies via a subsidy program for their Eco Bums Hire Pack. The cloth nappy ‘library’ scheme will be subsidised by KESAB for a two-week trial. The first 375 people to register will receive a subsidy of $40 – all you pay is $20 for a two week hire period.

This is a great incentive for parents to try cloth nappies to see if it suits them and their baby. The environmental and financial benefits are significant,” says Grace Barila, Special Environmental Projects Coordinator at KESAB environmental solutions.

We have come a long way with recycling in South Australia (leading the nation) but there is much more we can do as a community by recognising some of the nontraditional throw away and disposable items currently buried in landfill.

This project is about changing family awareness and understanding by using alternatives encouraging avoidance – but with minimal impact on family life style. And it helps the environment along the way,” Ms Barila said.

Advantages of “new age” cloth nappies have come a long way since terry towelling squares. Modern versions are more absorbent, less bulky, easy to wash, and are just as easy to use as disposables – are fashionable and they look great!


DEMONSTRATIONS: As part of the Nappy Library service, Eco Bums provides nappy demonstrations anywhere in Adelaide. Grab some friends or get together with your mother’s group or play group and arrange a time – Dad’s are welcome too!
