Want to learn all about Ecobots Cloth Nappies? Then you are in the right place. This Kiwi brand has been around now for over 15 years and loved by thousands of Kiwi parents. But what are the Ecobots Nappies? What makes them different to other brands on the market? Why should you give this great New Zealand brand a go? What are Ecobots Ecobots cloth nappies started life as a very simple cotton prefold and cover system. Unlike other similar brands on the market, they were designed with a nappy cover with double gussets. This cover meant that when the nappy was pad folded into the cover, there were far fewer chances of leaks or poo explosions.

Alongside our standard cotton nappies we also now have org...

Menstrual cups for teenagers For a long time, menstrual cups were available in two sizes. These were generally a smaller size for women who hadn’t yet been pregnant and were under 30. There was then a larger size for women over 30, or those who had been pregnant. The smaller size is fine for teenagers and will work well. The only slight problem is that although this cup is a small size, it can see quite big and intimidating. For that reason, we introduced a special teen sized cup. Why a cup? There are lots of reasons why menstrual cups make a great choice at any age. Like tampons, they mean that you can take part in sports, don’t have to worry about pads showing if you wear tight clothes and they can be less messy. It can take a little bit of practice to get used to removing the cup without making a mess, but once you...

Have you got enough cloth nappies? How many do you need to ensure that you never run short? Is it possible to have too many? Here’s our guide to making sure that you’ve got just the right amount. Where to start When you first start using cloth nappies, it can be confusing trying to work out how many you will need. If this is your first baby, then it’s even harder to know how often they will need changing, how often you will need to wash. Throw in things like bad weather and delays in getting things dried and it becomes even more complicated. But, it doesn’t need to be. First of all, think about how often you will be using cloth nappies and then consider how often you want to be washing. Usually, we would recommend washing at least every other day, so that nappies aren’t sitting dirty for too long. Working out how many you need Most babies will need changing every couple of hours. You want to have enough clean nappies available while you are waiting for them...
