We've been using the Bum Genius Flip washable nappies for the past week. I had wanted to use them from birth, but Eve was too small to fit in the smallest size. They are still slightly too large for her, but I was keen to get them on her as soon as possible, to get her skin away from the plastic of disposable nappies, and to stop putting so many in landfill sites.
I've been using Ecover eco washing powder for years now but have only recently realised that I should not use it to wash the nappies. Apparently it builds up a residue which can result in skin complaints. I've been advised by Wendy at http://www.thenappylady.co.uk/ to have a look at Ecoegg -
Ecoegg was born out of the lack of alternatives to chemical laden laundry products that were kind to skin as well as being natural and effective. By harnessing the power of nature Ecoegg hatched their first product, the Ecoegg Laundry Egg and haven’t looked back since.
They sell Detox Tablets that can be used every six months inside your washing machine to give it a deep clean.
Packs are £3.99 and include x6 tablets - enough for 3 years!
They also sell Stain Remover which I'm going to buy along with the eggs and detox tablets.
All of their products come with a 10 Year Guarantee, and they even pay for the postage and will send replacements free of charge.
Have a look at their website to see their environmental policies and commitments, eco awards and other information. You can purchase their products easily on Amazon, Ocado, Lakeland and various other stockists in the UK.
