BAMBO NATURE ECO DISPOSABLE NAPPIES

While using a cloth nappy system remains the best way to tackle the waste/pollution, cost and chemical exposure issues with nappies we know that a number of our customers choose to use disposables in conjunction with their Mother Nature nappies. We are therefore pleased to be able to offer eco disposables, made with care for the environment. Why are Bambo disposable nappies eco-friendly?

• The manufacturers of Bambo nappies have been awarded the prestigious Scandanavian Nordic Swan Eco Label which is awarded to companies whose environmental policies meet their stringent standards. 
• No optical brighteners; chlorine or perfume used in the nappy
• Inner absorbing layer is made with corn-starch and not petroleum
• all plastic off-cuts are recycled
• grey water re-cycling system in place
• sustainable raw materials sourced
• minimization of production waste in manufacture according to stringent standards
• packaging is 100% recyclable

Along with the environment friendly benefits the nappies are also slim, comfortable and highly absorbent with cute nature pictures on the waist band. As far as eco disposables go these are retailed at a good price.

ALL-IN-ONE BAMBOO NAPPY NEW!

Our wonderful new nappy is a one piece, one size design that adjusts to fit from birth to potty training and any sizes in-between!

Comfortable: soft fabric used against baby’s skin: the inner layer is our highly absorbent and 100% natural bamboo-cotton plus a patterned cotton booster in the colour nappies. Two layers of breathable waterproofing are hidden between two soft, poly-cotton layers seen on the outside. Leg gussets give this nappy a leak proof fit.

Flexible: use a booster pad for extra absorbency for example at night.

Easy Use: no need for separate parts, just pop your baby on top and fasten (even dad gets it). Removing the nappy is just as easy and one doesn’t have to worry about not having enough covers.

All you need to do is add a (Mother Nature bio degradable) nappy liner to the inside and fasten the poppers according to your baby’s size. For new-borns tuck the inner booster 3 times under itself and fold the front panel down to shorten the crotch; then fasten along the row of 4 poppers or across the waist straps. As baby grows so does the nappy and eventually you do not need to fold the front panel, just the inner pad twice over.

Size: one size fits all
Colour: pink, blue, green, pre-bleached, white
Price: R185.00 per nappy

THE NATURE NAPPY

Our 100% natural bamboo toweling is manufactured locally, our products are manufactured locally, the loops of the toweling are bamboo and the base is cotton. The bamboo yarn is sourced from an ethically sound company and controlled forests, it is environmentally friendly because no crop spraying is required and bamboo is highly regenerative. Bamboo toweling is soft, more absorbent than cotton and durable. Our toweling manufacturers use biodegradable dyes and recycle their grey water.

Get your money’s worth from our versatile nappy which adjusts to fit from birth to potty training by folding the front panel down & tucking the inner panel under itself therefore reducing the crotch to create a smaller nappy. For older babies don’t fold anything down. Adjusts to fit along the row of poppers and really fits all sizes, all the way to the end – 3 years!

Elasticized waist & legs gives this nappy a snug & leak-proof fit.

Shaped to create an un-bulky nappy.

Plastic poppers are used to fasten the nappy. These snap on easily & are very strong & durable.

Size: one size fits all
Colour: beige or white
Price: R115.00 per nappy

THE RAINBOW DAY/NIGHT NAPPY COVER

For an unbeatable soft feel choose Mother Nature’s PUL covers. Made from a blend of fine cotton flannel on the outside with a polyester base; which has been laminated with a breathable polyurethane to make it waterproof yet breathable. The cotton flannel gives the cover a soft and natural feel which washes out better than a 100% polyester cover.

A leak proof design with elasticized waist, gusseted legs and a soft fleece gusset for added softness and anti-leaking.

Easy to use and adjustable Velco fasteners specially designed to reduce discomfort from Velcro straps rubbing on baby’s tummy.

One cover can be re-used with several nappy changes before replacing by simply wiping the inside during changes & applying the fresh nappy on top.

Warm wash. 

To prolong the effectiveness keep the laminate out of direct sunlight/ heat exposure.

THE NIGHT FLEECE NAPPY COVER

Made from a soft polar fleece, which is water retainable (like wool): Allows moisture to evaporate while cooling the nappy area.

As it softer in the legs and even more breathable than the Rainbow cover it makes an ideal option for night use & newborns.

Simply make a more absorbent nappy (with booster pads – this cover is not as waterprrof as the PUL) and one night fleece cover can be used overnight.

LIDDED BUCKET - 25 LITRE

Our new lidded buckets are a 25 litre round bucket with lid, all white. These come with the nature nappy system user guide. We plan to replace this range with a lidded bucket made entirely from recycled plastic, terracotta colour (some imperfections in the colour to be expected  due to the mixed plastics used to make the buckets).

Size: 25 litre
Price: R50.00

LAUNDRY BAG

This netted, draw-string bag lines the lidded bucket. Once your bin is full, pop the bag full of nappies into the washing machine and wash the nappies in the bag.

Size: 22 cm/ 32 cm
Price: R40.00

WET NAPPY TRAVEL BAG

A waterproof, draw-sting bag, which can hold at least 2 wet nappies.

Great for when you are out & about & need a bag to put those wet nappies into.

This bag can be washed along with the nappies.

Price: R50.00

BIO-DEGRADABLE & FLUSHABLE NAPPY LINERS - 100's

They protect the nappy from becoming heavily soiled.

Urine passes through but the solids are held by the liner. The whole liner is then flushed in the toilet.

Safe to flush into septic tanks.

Our liners are larger than most, which means they seldom miss the messy bits!

The full biodegrading process takes roughly 30 days.

Liner Components: Mostly wood pulp + a binder

Wet only liners can be washed once in a mesh bag or old pillow-case with the nappies to extend their use.

 
Size: 23cm/ 34cm
Colour: natural off-white
Price: R55.00

WASHABLE NAPPY LINERS - 4 PER PACK

Made from a soft micro fleece these liners can be re-used several times over and washed with the nappies.

Because fleece is not absorbent moisture passes through the liner and is held in the nappy. The fleece liner therefore acts as a “stay-dry” barrier between the baby’s skin and nappy. This makes them great to use at night and for babies prone to nappy rash.

The fleece liners can also be useful during the newborn phase with it’s runny poos; as they will protect the nappy from becoming heavily soiled.

To use shake contents into the toilet and place the liner in the nappy bucket.

Size: 15cm/ 30cm
Colour: White or beige or combination 4-pack
Price: R55.00

100% PURE TEA TREE OIL, 50MLS

This bottle of pure tea tree was produced and bottled locally. Tea Tree oil is widely used as a wonderful natural antiseptic in the home. We have found it to be by far the best all natural nappy pre-soak.

Use 5 tea tree drops in a bucket of water as a natural pre-soak for nappies or use as a natural antiseptic or bum wipes solution (also diluted). Try putting a few drops at the bottom of the dry lidded bucket whilst storing the used nappies waiting to be washed.

PLEASE NOTE: Some babies might have skin allergies in the form of a rash from the use of tea tree. If this occurs then discontinue using tea tree oil.

LADIES OWN (4) WASHABLE SANITARY PADS

We have created the Ladies Own Toilette range in response to a growing demand from our customers and the natural environment! The pads have been cleverly designed into a uber soft & comfortable; light-weight yet very absorbent and waterproof pad. They are designed in a similar structure to our washable breast pads. The inner layer is natural, unbleached stokkinette which also allows moisture to pass through into the middle absorbent layer. Then there is a waterproof layer and an outer cotton layer. The pads have wings which fasten in place around panties. For full time  use you will need 2 sets of regular pads and one set of heavy flow pads. The regulars also make comfy every-day pantie liners.

Benefits:

• Kinder to nature: washable & reusable
• Comfy, soft & natural fabric against your skin
• No absorbing chemicals used
• Breathable water-proof layer
• High absorbency with a design that draws moisture away from the surface of the pad
• Light-weight, slim design
• Fastens securely around under-wear
• Savings benefit over time

Directions for use:

1. Secure the pad around your underwear with the popper fastener (un-bleached stokkinette to skin, white breathable water-proof toweling at the bottom).
2. Change when required.
3. Pre-soak pads in a small lidded bucket in a solution of 1 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate (salt) to 10 litres of cold water. Place all your used pads for
   the day in this bucket.
4. Hand wash in cool to luke-warm water.

User Tips: Take a small waterproof bag with you when out and about. You could wash the pads after your bath. Re-cycle your grey water if possible. Remember, this procedure only occurs once a month!

Price: R120.00 per pack of 4
