Perth & Kinross Real Nappy Network is a local group which raises awareness of real (washable) nappies. The PKRNN show parents, parents-to-be, health professionals and other interested parties how real nappies have changed since the days of terry squares, pins and plastic pants and how today’s styles of real nappies are a practical and effective choice for parents.
Modern real nappies are shaped to fit, fasten with poppers or Velcro and come in a wide range of soft and breathable fabrics, including bamboo, hemp and microfibre. Using real nappies reduces the amount of waste that a household produces and can also save parents hundreds of pounds compared to the cost of using disposable nappies. What’s more, modern real nappies come in a range of fun designs so by using real nappies you can even make a fashion statement!
Perth and Kinross Real Nappy Network offer free demonstrations of real nappies from their comprehensive nappy library as well as information and advice to get you started. Hire kits are available in a range of sizes allowing parents/carers to try real nappies at home for up to 3 weeks to ensure they choose the right style for themselves and baby. The kits are laundered between hires and cost just £15 (less than the cost of disposables for the hire period).
