Stanleys Nappy Voucher Scheme

Switch to real nappies

From birth to potty, a baby uses 5,000 disposable nappies. That’s 8 million across the UK EVERY DAY – and they may take hundreds of years to decompose! The solution may be modern reusable nappies – which are cheaper and easier to use than most people think:

  • You may save approx £600 on your first baby and even more if you reuse them on subsequent babies.
  • They are so easy to use. Most fasten with velcro or poppers so there is no need for complicated folding. Flushable liners enable easy disposal of the solids down the toilet.
  • Your washing machine does all the work. A 60 degree wash will sterilise reusable nappies. No need to soak, scrub or boil.
  • You may only need around 24 reusable nappies from birth to potty.
  • Reusable nappies are trendy. They come in modern funky styles, with fantastic colours, patterns and materials and have breathable waterproof wraps.

We can help!

We are giving away vouchers up to the value of £30. Spend £50 on reusable nappies and get £30 back.
