Examples

“ERNN [Edinburgh Real Nappy Network] runs monthly nappy chats, where parents and carers can see our 'nappy library,' ask questions and find out more about which type of cloth nappy would suit them and their child. You can also arrange to see the nappy library at other times.”

“Nappy libraries lend nappies and accessories to parents, allowing you to swap sizes as a child grows, or try out reusable nappies to see if they are right for your child.”

“I will have nappies there for people to see the different types that are available and some can be purchased. There will also be a raffle to win some nappies. Any funds that we raise will be going towards setting up a nappy library in Barry.”

“When baby number two arrived, I was far more environ-mentally aware and open to alternatives, but I just hadn't got round to researching options and didn't know where to start. But seeing the mountain of smelly plastic mount up in my bin, I was delighted when Jen suggested a nappy library near to me.”

“Some people preferred to use reusable cloth nappies: […] Starting gradually and only using a few a day was a good way to 'ease in' if they'd already been using disposable nappies. […] Nappy libraries were helpful to work out the best kind of nappy type for them.”
