Twins in cloth nappies

For many people, the idea of having twins in cloth nappies would just seem like too much hard work. There are lots of reasons why using cloth nappies for twins might actually be a great idea though. Here’s our handy guide to having two in cloth.

Two in cloth nappies

Having two babies in cloth nappies does meant that you’re going to have more washing, than if you had just one baby. But it also means that lots of the advantages are doubled too. Having both of your babies in cloth means that you will be saving twice as much money as with one baby. You never need to worry about running out of nappies. Nappy rash is less likely. Another great benefit is that babies in cloth tend to learn to use the toilet earlier than those in disposables. You’ll will have both babies out of nappies sooner.

How to have twins in cloth nappies

Having two babies in cloth, doesn’t actually mean that you need twice as many cloth nappies. In actually fact you are likely to only need to have half as many again. This is true whatever type of cloth nappy you choose, but works even better with Ecobots. A system like Ecobots, where you only change the insert each time, rather than the whole nappy, works really well for twins. You will need two or three extra covers and between six and twelve inserts in each size. As your babies get older, the amount of inserts needed will decrease. Older children need changing less often, so you will need fewer nappies.

Ecobots twin packs

Ecobots twin packs come in two sizes. Our twins birth to potty pack contains everything that you need for the whole time your babies are in cloth nappies. The twin pack, is everything you need for the first two sizes. This is perfect if you plan on using another system later. It also works well if you think that you will need fewer nappies when they are older. As some twins are born at a lower birth weight than single babies, we are more than happy to include some premature covers in with our twin packs. Please let us know if you would prefer this smaller size.
