Bamboo Terry - White

Bamboo Terries

Made in the UK of silky soft white bamboo terry, with overlocked edges, in a choice of 50cm or 60cm (approx) sizes, these luxuriously absorbent yet slim terry squares are ideal for economy, faster drying than shaped nappies yet are not at all bulky.

Bamboo has hardly any impact on the environment; it thrives naturally without the use of pesticides, and is a sustainable crop. Bamboo fibre has a soft and silky feel, remaining soft on washing even in hard water, is naturally antibacterial and it holds its shape well on washing. As it is more absorbent weight for weight than cotton, these nappies are not as thick as cotton nappies yet are very absorbent, meaning they are not bulky as one would normally associate with cotton terry nappies.

These terries are lovely and silky, our only concern is that due to the soft silkyness they do need holding in place while you fasten a little more than a cotton terry nappy!

Sizes available 50cm (approx) ideal for birth (particularly low birth weight) to around 1 year approx, or longer for pad folding or stuffing in pocket nappies. £2.80

60cm (approx) suitable from birth to potty, may also be pad folded as above. £3.50

Care should be taken with bamboo nappies to not wash above 60, or dry on top of a radiator or tumble dry too hot as the fibre will tend to 'cook' a bit and the pile becomes more flat and will loose its ability to be Nappi Nippa'd easily.

Twinkle Terries

Made in the UK from a quality white terry towelling weight 450g per sq metre, this nappy has angelique satin binding, is thick and very absorbent and holds its shape well.

Available in white only in a variety of sizes. The cotton is scoured and prewashed so shrinkage is minimal. These terries are pretty enough to be used as towels.

16"/40cm Tiny Terries are most suitable for pad folding for newborns, Fuzzi Bunz/Stuffables stuffing (Small or Medium sized) or as a booster inside another nappy for heavier wetting older babies.

20"/50cm Small Terries are also suitable for pad folding for use in a wrap or in any size Fuzzi Bunz/Stuffables, but may be traditionally folded for a smaller baby, making them less bulky than the most popular sized Regular Terries which are often traditionally folded as well as pad folded.

24"/60cm Regular Terries are the most popular size, and are usually used for traditionally folding - we give full instructions - but may also be used pad folded too, and may be used for stuffing Large and XLarge Fuzzi Bunz.

30"/75cm Toddler Terries, suitable for larger toddlers and heavier wetters. Terries traditionally were, I'm told, 27" square. Most of the modern manufacturers now produce terries that are just 24" square, which whilst fine for smaller babies won't necessarily fit larger babies and toddlers if you wish to fold traditionally. After much searching, I have found these lovely 27 and 30 inch square nappies which are just right for folding, but are also nice enough to use as towels. Be warned - the 30 inch are very big, and I'd suggest for use with 4-5 years plus! - not suitable for Fuzzi Bunz/Stuffables stuffing.

Folding instructions with every purchase.

Wash at 40, 60ºC or 95ºC, and tumble dry on hot.

A WRAP will be required. Suggested wraps include Prorap, ElliePants, Bummis, Rikki for pad folding; Popo, Rikki, Nature Babies, Imse soft wrap wrap for traditional folding for a small baby using a close fitting hook and loop fastening wrap to secure or if pinning or using Nappy Nippas, any looser fitting wraps such as Pull On Pants, Litewrap or Air Rika wrap

Little Ewe Terries

This 100% unbleached cotton terry is creamy in colour, and has a thick, soft loop pile to provide good absorbency and enable quick drying. The edges are bound with a non-satin binding, which can be a little bulky, but at least the edges do not fray. It is available in two sizes.

The Small size is approximately 40cm x 40cm, and thus ideal for newborns when padfolded as it is less bulky than the Regular. This size nappy is best for pad folding. Weight 120g.

The Regular sized nappy is approximately 60cm x 60cm (24" square), and is the most popular size to suit from birth to potty. It may be pad folded or traditionally folded to fit - full instructions supplied.

Some shrinkage is to be expected with this product.

We recommend a Nappy Nippa to fasten terries without pins, alternatively consider the Ellie Pants or folding into a pad and placing in a wrap so that the wrap holds it in place. Weight 156g.

Nappi Nippa

These stretchy plastic gadgets hook easily and safely into the loop pile of the terries to hold the nappy securely in place without the risk of stabbing your baby with pins! Lay the Nippa on the front of the nappy as a T and hold firmly in place with one hand. Stretch one end, either the left orr the right, as far as you can and hook the teeth into the fabric. Reapeat for other side. Then, take the remaining central hooks as far as you can downwards and hook into the fabric. The Nippa should now be in a Y shape, not a T - if it is a T it will be too loose and may come off.

Pastel: pale blue, pale green, yellow

Pins - set of 4

Traditional nappy pins made by Prym Whitecroft with locking heads. Sharp and suitable for pinning prefolds and terries. Set comprises two pairs of coloured heads (assorted combinations of pink blue white). Please note these pins are sharp!

To keep your pins sharp and able to glide through the fabric, we suggest either storing sharp point in beeswax or soap, or running the pin through your hair (carefully!) so it picks up a fine coating of grease (yes, it works even if you've just washed your hair!) to enable it to slide through the fabric with ease.

Twinkle Fleece Liners

Hourglass, available in white

These 100% polyester fleece liners are shaped to fit, being approximately 34cm x 14cm, and hourglass shaped being about 4cm wider at each end. Current stock now singly or packs of 6 in either cream/white or packs of 6 assorted brightly coloured. You can make your own fleece liners from 100% polyester fleece available from all good fabric shops. We were the first site to introduce fleece liners to the UK, and they have proved extremely popular. We have ours made to our own hourglass shape as we find this shape better than rectangular ones as it tends to resist creasing up in use.

Polyester fleece gives a nice thickness of non-absorbency between baby and the nappy, allowing wee to be drawn away into the nappy. Ideal for night times, and probably better for your baby's skin than the gel of disposable nappies, these fleece liners really do keep your baby surprisingly dry. Rather than use a desiccant chemical to keep your baby's skin dry, they work by using your baby's body heat to evaporate the moisture through to soak up into the nappy, leaving a dry layer next to your baby's skin. Mind you, I am of a view that marketing has a lot to answer for: it is worth considering what your baby's skin was in for the 9 months whilst in uterus, and indeed keeping skin moist seems to be considered a good thing for many skin conditions - wet wraps were always the best treatment for my daughter's Great Gran's leg ulcers!

For newborn babies they are soft, and help keep the poo off the nappies reducing staining. For older babies, when you are expecting a poo, a paper liner can be used on top to facilitate removal if required. However do be aware that a paper liner will tend to hold moisture for longer between baby and fleece liner so negating the effect of the fleece to some extent.

They are also easy to wash - in with the nappies at any temperature, and if pooed on, simply stretch over the loo and let the poo fall off! For stickier poo, hold a corner and flush the loo, or, for more sticky situations, fold in two (poo inside so you avoid contact!) and rub in the flush. Long lasting and durable, these work out much more economical than flushable liners with the benefit of being much softer against baby's skin.

Colour is white/ivory/cream or similar pale shade depending what is available at the time of your order

Available individually at £1 each or in packs of 6 at £5.

Biodegradable Flushable Liners

These liners allow wet to pass through to the absorbent nappy, whilst retaining solids. Placed inside the nappy next to baby they make dealing with the poo in nappies very easy - simply flush the liner and poo away down the toilet. If your liners are simply wet, these can be washed with the nappies and re-used up to about 3 to 5 times until the disintegrate.

Provided your plumbing is in order, these liners are often safe for most septic tanks. As with all flushable biodegradable liners we advise to tear in two as you pop in the loo to flush to minimise the risk of blockage. If in doubt, or you know you have old or damaged drains then shake to poo off into the toilet and bag and bin the liners

Available in two sizes, our liners are made in Europe. The smaller Baby liners in packs of 200 (approx size 20 x 19.5cm) are suitable from birth to about 1 year to 18 months or so, the larger liners in packs of 100 (approx size 28 x 19.5cm) are much longer and thus ideal for older babies at their length usually leaves enough liner free to use to wipe baby with, or can be cut in two for a small baby. You may find with a newborn that you don't need to use a liner since the poo frequently washes off the nappies very easily in the early days. Particularly with breastfed poo, which is notoriously runny, you will find that a fleece liner is far more effective at poo catching, as the liquidity of the poo will usually soak straight through these flushable liners.

Twinkle Twooster (TM)

Twoosters (TM) are a booster made of two fabrics - hence the name. Two layers of absorbent terry topped with a third layer of polyester fleece, and cut to the familiar Twinkle hourglass shape. Specially designed to minimise the number of separate layers you need, the fleece layer of the Twooster will keep your baby dry and at the same time the two layers of terry will provide extra absorbency. Simply pop one of these on top of your nappy fleece side up instead of using a booster and a separate liner. Great for childcare use too. White, wash any temperature, can tumble dry.
