Tips for using cloth nappies out and about

  •  Take plenty of spare nappies: There’s nothing worse than not having enough nappy changes whatever type of nappies you are using.
  • Always take extra covers as well as inserts, you might not normally need to change the cover at each change, but you don’t want to be caught out when using cloth nappies out and about.
  • Get a good quality wet bag, with a zip or drawstring closure that will help keep in smells and wetness.
  • If you are using cloth wipes, think about taking them dry to wet when you need them, or carry a bottle of water to wet them as you need them.
  • Biodegradable wipes make a good alternative when you are away from home.
  • When using cloth nappies out and about, consider using flushable liners, then you don’t have to take solid waste home with you.
  • Carry smaller containers of rash cream with you in your change bag.
  • A small fold able change mat that fits in your nappy bag means that you can change where ever you need to when using cloth nappies out and about.
  • Nappy bags are often quite expensive and don’t always fit everything you need very well, a backpack is often a better option and is easy to carry around with you.

Stress free trips

As with just about anything when it comes to babies, a little bit of planning makes the world of difference.  The more that you can organise in advance the easier it is when you are away from home.  Making sure that you keep your change bag fully stocked and always remembering to take it with you can make change times away from home much easier.

 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
