How to Choose the Best Cloth Nappy for Your Baby (And Why It Matters)

Switching to cloth nappies is one of the most rewarding choices you can make as a parent — for your baby, your wallet, and the planet. But with so many options on the market, how do you choose the best cloth nappy?
Here’s what to look for — and why Designer Bums is loved by thousands of Australian families.
1. Comfort & Fit
Babies spend all day in nappies — so comfort is everything. Look for soft, breathable materials and a shape that grows with your child. Designer Bums nappies feature a contoured shape, adjustable snaps, and buttery-soft bamboo-cotton inserts designed for sensitive skin.

2. Quality Materials That Last
Choose nappies made from premium fabrics that won’t wear thin. Our nappies are crafted from OEKO-TEX-certified fabrics and high-quality bamboo-cotton blend inserts that can withstand hundreds of washes while staying ultra-absorbent.
3. Eco-Friendly Credentials
Cloth nappies can save thousands from landfill, but not all are created equal. We use eco-conscious production methods, ethical manufacturing, and packaging that’s kind to the environment — without compromising on quality or style.
4. One-of-a-Kind Prints
Every Designer Bums nappy is a tiny piece of art. Our prints are designed in collaboration with talented artists around the globe, with limited-edition releases you won’t find anywhere else.
