 Nappyneedz was a cloth nappy and reusable menstrual product business based in Dunedin New Zealand between November 2010 and December 2023. The business closed down, but rather than getting rid of the website entirely, it has been decided to keep the blog pages and other information. There are no plans to add to the blog posts that appear on this website, but hopefully you will find some of the information from Nappyneedz Cloth Nappies helpful. Please use the search option at the top of the page to track down anything that you need to know. You can also find some of our pages on the left. Nappyneedz was also the home of Ecobots cloth nappies. This was a business set up in Christchurch in around 2006 and then sold to Nappyneedz in 2013. You can find lots of information about this type of prefold nappy on the website. See the link on the left. You may find that links on blog posts and pages no longer work. I will try and update them over time, but it may take a while. You can use the sea
