We are offering families in B&NES a 15% discount on reusable nappy products with selected suppliers.
Disposable nappies create a significant amount of waste, filling up household black bins and making up 2 to 3% of the UK's household waste. What's more, a single-use nappy can take up to 500 years to decompose. Reusable nappies offer a sustainable, low-waste alternative that can also help save you money in the long run.
How we can help
Reusable nappies - often called washable, cloth or real nappies - have improved greatly in recent years and are now a popular choice for many families. We understand that the initial cost can be a hurdle, so we've partnered with selected suppliers to offer residents a 15% discount on reusable nappy products.
Please note that participating companies may also ask for the first half of your postcode to validate your discount code when you redeem it.

Why use reusable nappies?
A baby will use on average, 5,000 disposable nappies before they are potty trained.
By switching to reusable nappies, you can...
- Save money: Investing in reusable nappies means you could save an estimated £600 on buying disposal ones, including laundry costs
- Reduce waste: According to WRAP, around 3 billion disposable nappies are thrown away each year in the UK
- Get better comfort: Reusable nappies are often made from cotton or bamboo which are softer than synthetic fibres

Keeping them clean
Reusable nappies are easy to care for. They don’t need soaking and can be washed hygienically in your household washing machine. Many styles come with a removable insert, meaning you often only need to change and wash the lining rather than the whole nappy.
To reduce energy use, you can dry nappies on a washing line or indoor airer instead of using a tumble dryer.
Please follow the specific washing instructions provided with each product.
