What is Reusable Nappy Week? A Celebration of Sustainable Parenting

28th April – 4th May 2025

Every year, parents, advocates, and eco-conscious communities come together to celebrate Reusable Nappy Week, a global event dedicated to raising awareness about the benefits of cloth nappies. Whether you're a cloth nappy newbie or a seasoned pro, Reusable Nappy Week is the perfect time to learn, connect, and share tips on sustainable parenting.

Let’s dive into what Reusable Nappy Week is all about, why it matters, and how you can get involved!

What Is Reusable Nappy Week?

Reusable Nappy Week is a week-long campaign designed to spotlight the benefits of cloth nappies, bust common myths, and empower parents to make informed choices for their families and the planet. It’s a chance for brands, retailers, and parents to showcase just how far reusable nappies have come—combining sustainability, practicality, and style.

Originally established to encourage more families to try cloth nappies, this annual event has grown into a global celebration. With online events, discounts, workshops, and giveaways, Reusable Nappy Week is a vibrant, supportive space for anyone curious about reusables.

Why Does Reusable Nappy Week Matter?

Reusable Nappy Week isn’t just about promoting nappies—it’s about creating positive change for the environment, families, and communities.

• Environmental Impact: Disposable nappies are a significant contributor to landfill waste, with millions of nappies discarded every day. Each disposable can take hundreds of years to decompose. By encouraging the use of reusable nappies, this campaign helps reduce waste and conserve resources.

• Cost Savings for Families: While the upfront cost of cloth nappies may seem daunting, they save families hundreds—if not thousands—of dollars over the years. Reusable Nappy Week highlights how economical this choice can be, especially when nappies are reused for multiple children.

• Raising Awareness: Many parents are unaware of how simple, modern, and effective cloth nappies are. Reusable Nappy Week breaks down misconceptions, providing education and practical advice to make the switch feel achievable and rewarding.

• Building Community: Reusable Nappy Week fosters a supportive community of like-minded parents. It’s a chance to connect with others, share experiences, and learn from those already on the reusable journey.

How to Get Involved in Reusable Nappy Week

There are so many ways to participate in Reusable Nappy Week, whether you’re brand new to cloth or already a pro:

• Try Cloth Nappies for the First Time: If you’ve been curious about reusable nappies, this is the perfect time to take the plunge. Baby Bare offers multiple discounts and trial kits during the week to help parents get started.

• Attend Workshops and Webinars: Reusable Nappy Week often features online and in-person events where you can learn about the different types of cloth nappies, how to care for them, and tips for troubleshooting.

• Shop Discounts and Giveaways: Many brands celebrate Reusable Nappy Week with special deals and giveaways, making it a great time to stock up on new nappies or accessories like wet bags and cloth wipes.

• Spread the Word: Share your experiences with cloth nappies on social media, participate in local events, or simply talk to friends and family about the benefits. The more people know, the bigger the impact!

• Donate or Recycle Old Nappies: If your child has outgrown their nappies, consider donating them to a local nappy library or charity. This helps other families discover the benefits of cloth nappies while extending the lifecycle of the products.
