The Real Cost of Disposable Nappies — And How Reusables Save You More
Disposable nappies might seem convenient, but over time, they come at a hefty price — for your wallet and the planet. Here’s how much you could save by making the switch to reusables, and why thousands of Australian families are making the change.
1. The Cost of Convenience
The average baby goes through around 6,000 disposable nappies before toilet training — costing families up to $3,000. And that’s money heading straight to landfill after a single use.
Our nappy calculators have been designed to show you just how much money you can save by choosing reusable nappies.
2. Reusable Nappies: One Investment, Big Savings
Designer Bums cloth nappies are reusable, washable, and built to last. With just 24–30 nappies, you can get through from newborn to toddlerhood — at a fraction of the cost. Even better? They hold resale value, meaning you can recoup part of your investment later.
3. Planet-Friendly and Parent-Approved
By switching to reusables, you’re preventing thousands of nappies from ending up in landfill — and embracing a low-waste lifestyle that feels good. Our nappies are made with sustainably sourced fabrics and packed with love.
4. Bonus Perks: Style + Versatility
Unlike disposables, cloth nappies come in a huge range of limited-edition prints and can double as swim nappies, backup toilet-training pants, or overnight options with boosters.
Explore our range of artist-designed cloth nappies and join thousands of eco-conscious Aussie families making the switch.
