Hi, I’m Rachel – Mum to one little one in cloth nappies. When I was pregnant, I started looking into reusables and quickly realised it can feel like there’s so much to learn before you begin.
-
We offer OSFM (one size fits most) Pocket nappies, meaning there are two parts to the reusable nappy set up. The Nappy Shell/Outer, the waterproof part with a cute design, and the insert, the pad which you insert into the pocket opening which will hold all the moisture as baby goes toilet.
All our nappies, have a a PUL (waterproof fabric) tummy guard, offering an extra protection barrier to keep the moisture inside the nappy, and include a Bamboo Terry insert - which is our most popular for daily use as it’s a natural fibre and fast absorbing. The internal suede lining (which sits against baby’s skin) is used due to its moisture wicking abilities, keeping baby’s skin drier as a barrier between the lining and insert which holds the moisture.
Our Nappy Bundles are a great place to start, getting you all the nappies and accessories you need to get started, in style!
-
That’s totally fine! Every cloth nappy you use saves money and waste. Even starting with just one or two changes a day makes a real difference.
-
I think the best advice is simple: just start.
Start with one a day when you're at home for awhile, and try add another cloth nappy change every few days.If you’re currently pregnant, I recommend having some nappies at home so you’re prepared to give them a go once you feel comfortable. Remember, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Every cloth nappy you use saves one from landfill, and over time the cost savings add up too.
-
Whether you use a reusable or disposable nappy, you'll want to change them every 2–3 hours during the day, or as soon as they gave pooped. Newborns may need more frequent changes.
-
That’s going to depend on how many you want to use! Let me explain… It’s your choice if you want your baby to only use Reusable Cloth Nappies, or a mix of Reusables and single-use disposable nappies.
- Part-time use: 5+ nappies: 1-2 cloth nappy changes per day
- Part-time use: 10+ nappies: 3-5 cloth nappy changes per day
- Full-time use: approximately 20 nappies
No matter what type of nappy your baby is wearing, you will still want to changing them every 2-3 hours.
The number of nappy changes varies with age — for instance, newborns usually need more changes in a 24-hour period than toddlers do. Every little one is different, so it can take a bit of trial to figure out what works best for you, but you can always add more reusable nappies into your nappy stash as you find cloth nappies working for you.
-
Over your baby's nappy wearing life, you can save thousands of dollars! Just how much depends on how many reusable nappies you choose to use daily!
-
Easy, check out our wet bags! All waterproof PUL with a dry pocket to make it convenient to use cloth nappies when out and about exploring
-
Our Nappy Bundles are a great place to get started with the essentials and accessories to make cloth simple.
Beyond the nappies, you will need:
- Dry-pail: A laundry basket, likely plastic, which has holes on it to allow airflow while the nappies wait for a pre-wash. You can find options at Kmart/Briscoes etc.
- Laundry detergent: No special detergent needed! The same detergent you use for your baby's clothes is fine — ideally without fabric softeners, fragrance or bleach. I use Ecostore’s Ultra Sensitive Laundry Liquid/Powder which works great and can bee purchased at the supermarket.
- Insert hanger (optional): Similar to a hanger for socks, it can just make it quick and easy to peg up your inserts to air dry.
-
- You’ll experience less poo-namis with Reusable Cloth Nappies! Yep, cloth nappies are better at keeping the poo contained, as we’ve invested in elastic that is going to last around the legs and along baby’s back.
- Babies who wear cloth nappies toilet train earlier, on average one whole year earlier!! This is due to the fact that when a baby relieves themselves in a nappy, a disposable nappy takes away the feeling of any moisture, whereas a reusable nappy allows baby to pee, then they feel the moisture and understand cause-and-effect better.
- Reusable cloth nappies are better for baby’s skin, as they have better breathability and use natural materials. There are no chemicals or toxins present so there is less risk of nappy rash or skin irritation.
- For households with a baby only using disposable nappies, approximately 50% of their rubbish bin will be single-use nappies - which cannot breakdown in landfill.
- Cloth nappies = cuter babies! So this one is more of an opinion, but in those summer months or nappy only times, cloth nappies look so much cuter, and will continue to look cuter in your photos.
Still have questions - We’re here to help you focus on what matters most with practical products, and non-judgmental support.

Breastfeeding necklace
Amazing quality necklace. Fast shipping and good customer service. Will be buying from this brand again!
Breastfeeding Necklace
I bought this necklace as a grandmother to 2 recent grandbabies. Both seemed to like tugging my gold necklace. I thought I’d get this A to stop them tugging my chain and B because they are both teething and everything goes in their mouths, this seemed quite appropriate. The bonus was, that it was also hand delivered to me in person by Yoho & Co!
Breastfeeding necklace - love it!
My little one loves playing with this necklace when he’s feeding and falls asleep with it in his hand also saves my bra strap from being yanked. We live rurally and shipping was super fast
I ordered the teething necklace and had a surprise delivery! Instead of posting, they delivered to my door! AMAZING! The necklace itself, is a great idea, as babies are forever grabbing, especially if you wear necklaces. This purchase will be well used by my grandchildren.

Love these so much! Delivered super fast. 100% recommend. Thank you again for another amazing product ❤️
A must have for those with FOMO babies
I bought the breastfeeding necklace as soon as it released because I hadn't seen anything else like it before. I wear it all the time because my baby is always getting himself distracted with others talking while I'm feeding him. It also makes a great toy in general (for teething especially) while I'm carrying him that I keep around my neck so he can't lose it. We love it so much!!
Great distraction
The breastfeeding necklace has been an absolute life saver for my necklace and hair plus has been a great distraction for little hands and wondering eyes. Easy to adjust the length and the silicone beads are gentle on little hands, especially when they get a bit flappy and excited
Another fantastic set of nappies
I was slightly concerned when I first opened the package and saw the nappies and inserts were a bit different than the last time I ordered but I’ve now been using them for a couple of weeks and they’ve even stood up to the ultimate test of the dreaded tummy bug. With another baby on the way I have no doubt I’ll be ordering more to add to my stock in the near future.
Absolutely love these mats! Thank you so much!!!
Love my small wet bag!
This wet bag is the perfect size for storing things like sunscreen and nappy cream in my nappy bag. Love the cute pattern!

Great product, bamboo nappy liner
Great product, fast service.
Best cloth nappies
I’ve tried a few brands and these are the best - no leaks and good fit. The standard inner is enough on its own for my 10 month old.
Awesome
Really pleased with the quality and service I have received from Yoho & Co, I highly recommend!
