Real Nappy Incentive Scheme

child in a reusable nappy

If you have a child in nappies, consider using reusable ones.  They are a great alternative to disposables.  We have an incentive scheme which offers £30 off the initial cost of buying reusable nappies for your baby.

Reusable nappies come in bright, funky colours with easy fastenings like Velcro and poppers.  No need to worry about safety pins and soaking, they are a thing of the past! Local laundering services can collect and deliver nappies so you don't even have to worry about washing.

Disposable nappies are a growing environmental problem. They can double the waste produced by households with babies, and their mix of plastics and chemicals means they will remain in landfill for an estimated 500 years before breaking down.

Currently about eight million disposable nappies are thrown away every day in the UK.

To receive this great discount you must:

  • You must be a resident of Bristol
  • Make only one application per child
  • Your baby must be less than 12 months old when purchasing
  • You must spend £50 or more in a single transaction
  • You must send a copy of your MAT B1 or baby's birth certificate with your application form.

To apply for your £30 off today please download and complete our reusable nappy incentive scheme application form.
