Testimonials
Outlasts other brands
I've used Real Nappies prefolds for both my children, but somehow ended up with 1 size from a different brand of prefolds, and these haven't lasted at all for 2 children! They are now only good for rags. The Real Nappies prefolds, on the other hand, still look as good as new. Highly recommend as an economical way to start using cloth nappies.

"I’m really enjoying using Real Nappies on our babe, they’re so easy and actually less laundry compared to disposables because we have no leaks, yay! Contrary to popular belief, I have no problem using them when we go out or stay away from home. It’s great to have such a reliable product, one thing that makes being a new parent easier."
Putting Real Nappies on
Real Nappies are made up of 2-3 parts. A soft breathable, double layer PUL (TPU) water resistant cover; a 100% cotton inner; and an optional liner.
The nappy is made up by folding the insert (prefold) to suit your baby and placing in the nappy cover. Then all you need to do is secure it on your baby using the velcro tabs for a nice snug fit, much like a disposable - easy!
- LESS WASHING - you don’t need to change the cover every single time (just change the insert).
- FAST DRYING time even in humid climates because everything unfolds and comes apart.
- FLEXIBLE - keep it trim or add more absorbency as needed.
- EASY to get the right fit and secure on wriggly babies, velcro closures make it really easy and intuitive for first time users or daycares.
- NATURAL FIBRES - we love cotton and natural fibres wherever we can.
