Newborn Starter Pack (includes 24 nappies)

The dirty truth behind disposables:

Disposable nappies take between 100 and 500 years for the plastics to break down in landfill

3.75 million disposable nappies are used each day across Australia and New Zealand
Each disposable nappy takes approximately 1 cup of crude oil to manufacture. A child uses approximately 6000 disposables this = 1500 Litres of crude oil per child in disposables

Even biodegradable disposables can take decades to break down in landfill.

We would love you to go 100% cloth, however, we understand that this isn’t always easy or practical. If you are going to use a combination of cloth and disposable there are many options for biodegradable disposable nappies.
Remember, every time you use a Conni Bubs reusable cloth nappy, one less disposable goes into landfill.

We do our bit for the environment too, Conni products are manufactured in modern efficient factories that adhere to the Sedex social compliance accreditation.
We minimize unnecessary transport wherever possible and all of our packaging is either reusable or recyclable.

Washing - It’s no harder than washing your babies clothes!

Step 1: Flush away solids

Tip all solids into the toilet. If you’re using a bamboo liner, tip the solids and discard the liner in the bin.

Step 2: Rinse under the tap

Rinsing helps to remove any excess solids, dilutes acidic urine, minimises staining and cuts down on the smells coming from your laundry. 

Step 3: Store in the Conni Laundry bag (or another dry pail)

The longer nappies sit soiled, the shorter their life span, we recommend you wash your cloth nappies at least every second day. In between wearing and washing, nappies should be stored in a Conni Laundry Bag or alternative dry pail. Don’t soak your cloth nappies in anything! Dry pailing helps to reduce odours, prevent detergent build-up and ensure your cloth nappies last a long time. We recommend adding a tablespoon of bicarb to your laundry bag to help reduce smells and neutralise the acid in the urine during the pre-rinse.

Step 4: Machine Pre-rinse (no more than 40°)

Run your nappies through the pre-rinse cycle in your washing machine, this will get rid of excess urine and soiling before washing.

Step 5: Normal wash cycle (no more than 40°)

Nappies and inserts should be put through a normal wash cycle with the amount of detergent recommended on the packet. Don’t use any bleach or fabric softener.

Step 6: Hang in the sun to dry

Sunshine will help with stains, smells and any bacteria. If you need to use a dryer, only use it for the inserts. AIO nappies and OSFM nappy shells will last longest when line dried. If a dryer is required occasionally, it must be on low heat (no more than 40°) to ensure the longevity of your nappies.

Remember:

Don’t use bleach or fabric softener when washing your nappies

Don’t store dirty/ wet nappies for any more than 2 days

Line dry your nappies
