Nappyneedz

Nappyneedz is ten years old this November. Back in 2010, I originally set up the first website and started to sell cloth nappies. Over the years, many things have grown and changed. To celebrate this milestone, we are having a few giveaways and events. Find out more below. Ten years of cloth nappies Back in November 2010, I never dreamt that Nappyneedz would grow into what it’s become today. Over the last ten years, we’ve gone from a small number of cloth nappies and menstrual pads that were sewn by me, to a much bigger range. Our dinky nappy is still made to the design that I spent years perfecting. I’ve also added the Ecobots brand to our range.

Over the next month, I’ll be sharing some behind the scenes blogs and more of the Nappyneedz story. In the meantime, find out more about what we’ve got planned to celebrate. Nappyneedz events in No
