    Hi, in your financial/environmental cost calculations have you accounted for the additional laundry detergent, napisan etc, water usage? Of course reusable ones will never make back the "time cost" but your cost-benefit calculation doesn't seem to cover all the factors fairly. How many times do you recommend each of your nappies can be washed in the product lifetime and how many times washing is required each time they are soiled?

    Thanks

      We use re-usable nappies for our little one and you are really overthinking this. They wash normally like any item of clothing and dont require soaking.

      Plus water usage and detergent always trumps plastic going to landfill. Plus if you are truly environmentally aware, you can use rainwater and detergent strips which are eco friendly.

      Happy to help.

        Lol that wasn't the question

        It sounds like that's made a business case without actually making a fair comparison

        Yes you can hand wash in a river with an ancient stone, but most people will use a washing machine with detergent. For a fair comparison you need to understand the cost of washing each one

          Come on, be rationale here. Water and detergent beats plastic going to landfill.

          Stop being that "person"

          EDIT: Apologies, thought I was replying to the OP. Please disregard.

        I'm not sure why I was downvoted.

        You haven't actually answered my questions but simply dismissed them as being "irrelevant".

        Can you break down your washing cycles for me?

        1) do you wash the nappies with your usual clothes?
        2) do you pre wash your nappies in the sink?
        3) what temperature do you wash the nappies at?
        4) how many cycles do you wash them at?
        5) At an assumed number of 15-20 nappies from Rep's FAQ and a newborn using 7-10 nappies a day, how often are you washing them?
        6) Given the above, are you using a drying machine to get the other batch out quickly?

        My gripe with all these companies jumping on the "environmentally friendly" bandwagon and "saving money" bandwagon is that there are many other costs, both financial and environmental that are simply glossed over.

        They are absolutely not irrelevant.

        I am not dismissing the product, I am asking for a fair comparison like for like.

        Your mistake is that I have a predisposition against the use of reusable nappies, which I don't. What I despise is companies jumping on and green washing products when the information is not presented up front and fairly.

      Not sure if I missed something but they simply stated the environmental impact of throwing disposable nappies into the bin.

      We have two in full time cloth and we run one extra nappy cycle a day and all modern cloth nappies are dry paled. So it's just one extra run of washing on a hot wash with decent detergent, vs, 10 plastic ones chucked in a the ground for 500 years per day.

        If you run through the OP, they are selling the green image for sure.

        I have issues with their deceptive language.

        A Modern Cloth Nappy is re-usable, comfortable, and will save you so much money and ultimately will help to save our planet.

        The first claim is validated, second one is vague, third I questioned as per above and I don't agree with the calculations and finally the third is not covered in enough detail

        BabyTree is an established nappy brand in New Zealand, and has finally made it across the ditch to Australia.

        On their own website, this company is from Melbourne, Australia, "designs" from New Zealand and hand made in China (don't get me started on the possible implications there in current political climate)

        These nappies have fantastic reviews - which should answer any questions or doubts you may have on this fantastic new trend.

        No, they don't, which is why the questions are posed but Rep hasn't answered.

        The high quality of the product shows how good they are.

        Once again more vague clais

        All of the mothers we have talked to who are using these are amazed at how well they work, and how easy it is to use.

        How do these compare with competitors products?

        The Bamboo fabric folding insert is extremely absorbent and results in less leaks than disposable nappies.

        Inherently false, the fact that bamboo needs to go in=>out=>in means that it has to be less absorbant than disposable nappies. In fact I think you will find it hard pressed for a reusable to go past 3-4 hours whereas a disposable could last all night

        They fit well, clean easily, and babies bum stays nice and dry!

        More sales

      It’s called bias marketing. They also don’t take into account the “the extra pain the ass” factor. Stick to disposable, no brainer.

    You never answer important questions in your threads. They are the difference between your product failing and working. That's enough for a neg (seller issues)

  • alvian on 07/05/2021 - 20:59

    What does WAHM mean (it was one of your tags) and how is it relevant to cloth nappies?

    Why do you write spammy titles (Amazing Designs and Excellent Long Lasting Quality) instead of showing important information like delivery fee?

    Why are you using the "Fashion & Apparel" category and adding "Babies" as a tag, instead of using "Toys & Kids"?

    • whitelie on 08/05/2021 - 06:50

      Working At Home Mum…. generally they're either this or Made in China, not WAHM in China. Not really interested in purchasing the product so I'm not going to deep dive in to where/how they make them but on the surface it sounds like they're made in China and just tagging it with WAHM to sound more ethical.

    I've read that 2 billion disposable nappies go into landfill in Australia every year, 4% of our landfill is comprised of disposable nappies and they can take up to 500 years to decompose (plastic components). What an environmental disaster that is!
    So on environmental reasons alone, I agree with nedski and MAB that reusable nappies are clearly the way to go.
    On financial reasons alone, reusable nappies are also clearly the way to go. The website babybeehinds.com.au estimates that disposable nappies will cost $3,250 per child, so choosing reusable nappies is one of the great Ozbargain choices you can make.
    All our 4 kids were in traditional cloth nappies (much cheaper than these modern ones). We even used cloth nappies when bush camping around Oz.
    When my kids have children, I'm buying them a pack of reusable nappies. I would consider buying the product promoted here, but a 10 pack of cloth nappies for $4.50 is an even better bargain thanks pavlos.
    Years ago 100% of families used cloth nappies. Now only 5% do. Sadly, this shows that for most of us, convenience is more important than the environment or wanting to save money.
    In my case Peter05, we used to wash out nappies with our other clothes on a normal cycle with warm water after dumping the poo in the toilet and then giving the soiled nappies a quick rinse in the laundry trough.
    For the 6 of us, we ran our washing machine every day. We never used a clothes dryer. I’d hang the washing on the outside clothesline, or if rain was expected, I’d hang our washing under cover or inside on a drying rack. Our electricity bill for the 6 of us was always < $400 per quarter. It’s far less now that we’ve installed solar panels. I thought that $400 a quarter was a lot until I heard many families with half the number of kids as us had bills more than double what we had.
    Reusable nappies are a big financial win for families and a big win for the environment.

      thanks davebern for your response.

      I agree with all your points and appreciate the additional 'usage' factors you've covered.

      the website is quite lacking of information and only has vague claims plastered all over it, hence the reason for my questions.

      In addition, when compared to another established brand that has
      a) significantly more information about the "process" of reusable nappies
      b) actual certifications for materials from ethical sources
      c) semi-frequently on sale at ALDI for $15ea vs normal price of $30ea
      https://bareandboho.com.au/

      I would find it hard to decide to go with this brand, as none of the questions have been answered, no benefits have been conveyed and in addition if financial and environmental factors are a concern, both are trumped by the competitor due to their openness and perhaps other operating efficiencies.
