First thing that you should know is there are more than 300 cloth nappy shops in Australia. I bet you are surprised. It goes to show though, that the modern cloth nappy is here to stay. Regardless of the fact that more eco-friendly disposable nappies are being devised, mums still favour the savings to be gained through investing in the modern cloth of today. No longer terry towelling nappies held in place with pins and waterproofed with plastic pilchers the modern version can be as easy on and off as a disposable, yet is reusable with a run through the washing machine.
There are three types of cloth nappies available on the Australia.
1. Aussie Nappies: The Commercial Nappy Brand
Commercial nappy brands have a high volume of turnover - seeing them set up at a parenting expo, you soon see why the original WAHM decided to out-source their production to meet demand for their popular design. Found at many retailers, there will be a wide range of styles, colours and materials available to purchase online. You benefit from volume production in the cost, and easy availability of the commercial nappy brand.
2. Aussie Nappies: The Licensed Nappy Design
A licensed nappy design has been tried, tested and found suitable by many mothers and babies before yours. So much so that the designer allows cottage license production of their design. This means a WAHM can use her own fabric and material choices to make a nappy that they know will be effective, well fitting and absorbent, without her need to invest the time, money and sheer effort involved in creating her own unique design.
3. Aussie Nappies: The WAHM-made Nappy
These are made by Work-At-Home-Mums, or groups (collectives) of them. They make a premium product too - and some are in very high demand as they take customised and semi-custom orders, and can work with you to make the best cloth nappy. You can personalize with embroidery, your own fabrics, appliqué - whatever your creative desire may be. It will be more expensive, or perhaps not if it is a new maker entering the market. Lots of variety though, and often one-of-a-kind.
There is a quick overview of the types of Australian cloth nappies available from the myriad of nappy shops online. I hope you found it helpful, and know that you can explore your options in Australia cloth nappies with ease. It is a good idea to explore a range of styles and brands to find your favourites, as they are designed to benefit many and varied baby needs, from heavy night wetters, tiny newborn babies, and the personalised nappy for the precious miracle baby you know.
