Frequently Asked Questions

How many nappies do I need?
If you are wanting to do cloth nappies full time you will probably need 30 nappies in your stash. This allows you to use 8-10 per day and allows 1 day for them to dry before needing to use them again.

What inserts should I use?
There are three main types of inserts: Microfiber, Bamboo Cotton blend and Hemp. Each of these have different properties so your combination changes on what you need. I have personally found a combination of bamboo and hemp in a nappy shell for my heavy wetting children to be the best combination.

How often should I wash my nappies?
Clean Cloth Nappies recommends doing a first wash of your nappies daily (especially if you are using night nappies) and then main washing every 2-3 days depending on the size of your machine.
