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.”
