Reusable Sanitary Pads are definitely worth it when it comes to comfort, waste reduction, as well as cost savings. They are a low-tox option for periods, light bladder leakage, sweat control, and maternity use.
Using Reusable Pads can help you to reduce your household waste and reduce the amount of plastics you are sending off to landfill. One pad contains as much plastic as four grocery bags!
The Designer Bums Team can help you to start with some small achievable changes to reduce single use products in your Nursery and Household. Take our Sustainability Scavenger Hunt to see how many reusable items you already have in your Nursery and House and get some inspiration for things that you can add.
Wet Bags have traditionally been the best kept secret of Reusable Nappy parents but are increasingly hitting the mainstream parenting scene.

Halloween can’t come soon enough for Designer Bums! We love the fun spooky vibes and colour-pallets associated with Halloween. Halloween can sometimes feel like it comes with a lot of waste and many of us can feel pressured to over commercialise at this time of year. The team at Designer Bums would love to show you how you can get into the spooky season with an eco focus!
Knowing what to pack into your hospital bag can be hard if you are a first time parent. Everyone you ask will have a different take on what their own essential items were. What you need can depend on your hospital facilities and what they provide, where your hospital is located, who you have to support you, and a number of other factors.
So where do you start? Here are some of the items that the team at DBHQ all agreed should be in your bag.
The Designer Bums Swimwear range features 3 different styles all made from soft and breathable Repreve. Each set features the exclusive designs that you know and love, showcasing our beautiful hand-illustrated artwork. Choosing Repreve for our swimsuits means that they are durable and also provide UPF 50+ protection from the sun.
We at Designer Bum’s are passionate about supporting women through all stages of their lives. Plastic Free July is the perfect time to look at making the switch to reusable sanitary products. You are able to use Designer Bums Reusable Cloth Pads for your period, postpartum bleeding, incontinence, as a liner, for perspiration, and for many other reasons. They are absorbent and reliable so that you can wear them with confidence.
Whilst some plastic bags can be recycled, the number one way to reduce the impact of single-use plastic on the environment and our beautiful Earth is to use reusable alternatives. Designer Bums Wet Bags are the perfect alternative in any situation where you would otherwise use a plastic bag and are an easy switch to make with a big impact on the environment. With large companies making the decision to phase out the use of purchasable plastic shopping bags now is the time to stock up on a reusable alternative.
Many families want to reduce their reliance on single use products but are unsure where to start. The good news is that this is not an all or nothing approach, and there are many small changes that you can make that will have an immediate impact on how many single use items are going into landfill. You might find that you need to make a larger initial financial outlay when purchasing reusable products, but this pays off in the long run as these products can be re-used and upcycled reducing the need to make any ongoing purchases.
It is easy as a new mother to get distracted with the purchasing of all your baby essentials, and forget about the essentials you might need for yourself. Breastfeeding mothers can enjoy some Designer Bums style for themselves with the Designer Bums Nursing Pads.
Plastic Free July is here! This global initiative aimed at reducing the consumption of single use plastics, is the perfect chance for all of us to rethink the part we play in the preservation of our environment and beautiful planet Earth.
Waste. At Designer Bums Modern Cloth nappies, we have your back while you work out whether waste is an unavoidable part of modern life, or completely avoidable by changing our mindset and actions. You can definitely live at either end of this continuum, or start a journey changing one element at a time until you find a balance that works for your family.
Love these change mats! They are easy to clean and throw into the nappy bags. Bubs loves using it whilst out and about. Has never complained about the surface of the change table once the mats on it. Easy to wipe clean any small spills or wees and any dirtier stains (no 2s) easily came out by throwing it in the washing machine. Also used as a mat to lie on when there's not enough space for a bigger play mat but some padding is required. Highly recommend

Insects Wet Bag Kathryn
Perfect with many uses
Love all the wet bags from designer bums. Find they have many uses. My bubs is still under 6 months but I find these good to use as a small tote bag, to transport wet swimming gear and I use one as my gym bag for the towel and deodorant. Perfect size for use as a smaller secure tote bag thats got the added bonus of being water proof. Also used as a laundry bag whilst away travelling for the many dirty clothes that accumulate.
Love the design! Super cute. first time using reusable nappies and my bubs doesn't complain about these. Once I watched the fitting videos haven't had any issues with leakage and they're super easy to clean. Find they're very soft on bubs skin and easy to use.

Amazing!
Love this play mat! Use it in our lounge room as a play mat for bubs. Easy to clean and move around as needed. Have used in the backyard as a picnic blanket too. Very generous in size and can easily comfortably fit adults and bubs on it. Highly recommend
