Flat Nappies

Terries and Muslins

  • We stock Bamboo, Cotton and Organic Cotton terries.
  • Four types of muslins: unbleached, organic, white and patterned or coloured. Muslins are ideal as a non-bulky nappy for a newborn and later as a general all-purpose cloth.
  • One size (60cm) may fit from birth to potty.
  • Economical.
  • Large surface area so quick to absorb and quick to dry.
  • Can be bulky.
  • Requires folding.
  • Needs securing with pins/Nappi Nippa/close fitting wrap.
  • No elastic so may leak from nappy on to wrap.

Wraps are needed with these nappies. We also stock pins and Nappi Nippa fasteners.

Prefolds

  • Three sizes of prefolds stocked, Small, Regular & Toddler, and two sizes of Bamboo prefolds in stock.
  • Two or sometimes three sizes needed to fit from birth to potty.
  • Economical but slightly more expensive than terries.
  • Quick to dry, but not as fast as terries.
  • Less bulky around the hips than terries as the fabric is prefolded and stitched into 3 panels, the centre panel which goes between the legs being thicker and thus more absorbent.
  • Easier to fold than terries.
  • Usually secured with a close fitting wrap, may be pinned.
  • May leak from nappy to wrap, although pinning helps prevent this.

Wraps are needed with these nappies. We also stock pins and Nappi nippas to secure them. We always recommend fastening with Nappi Nippas or pins for newborns to assist with poo containment. See our How to Nappy Guide for further information and instructions.


Disana Organic Tie On

  • Made in Europe of stretchy knitted organic cotton.
  • One size fits from birth to potty.
  • Very economical even with the additional boosters needed for more absorbency.
  • Extremely quick to dry.
  • Less bulky for a newborn, additional absorbency added as required.
  • Very basic folding over at top to reduce height to fit all sizes.
  • Fastens with attached ties.
  • Better on containment than most flat nappies.
  • Ties sometimes difficult to undo when wet and need tying together to prevent tangling in wash.

Wraps are needed with these nappies.
