Changing Time for the 2013 Baby Boom

The Change Starts Here

Recent figures reveal 20,000 more babies are expected to be born in the UK this year and each baby will use 6000 disposable nappies in their infancy. Each disposable nappy takes around 500 years to biodegrade.

It was only in the 1960’s that these plastic filled disposable nappies first started being mass produced, but 8 million are used every day in the UK alone. gNappies see a different way for the future. choosing gNappies gives you the option to create a better future for our planet and the very best for your baby.

To celebrate a gorgeous alternative gNappies has shot a baby catwalk:

gNappies are gorgeous nappy covers with 100% biodegradable, compostable inserts. Their high tech design let’s baby’s skin breath. More comfort. Less rash. gNappies wet disposable inserts biodegrade in just 50-150 days.

 

"We're in a great position to make disposable nappies just a bad memory. We want parents to come together to make history and change the way we change nappies. gNappies is definitely becoming a trend with new mums wanting the best possible options for their babies  – we’ve seen more than 50% yoy growth on our websales.”

Easy, gorgeous, gentle and green, gNappies give parents an eco-friendly option for nappy changing, combining the ease of disposable nappies with the reusable nappy component normally found only in cloth nappies. gNappies are part disposable, part reusable and 100% ecodorable. In fact the only 100% certified fully biodegradable and compostable nappy around. You simply choose your reusable nappy cover, tuck in your disposable insert, change your baby and then hug.

gNappies gPants Review

Last Wednesday, I posted about gNappies first gVideo! (If you missed it, you can see it here). They also very kindly sent us 2 gPants (size M), 2 microfibre reusable inserts and 15 disposable inserts.

As I've posted before, we are only just transitioning from disposable nappies to cloth nappies. I'd always wanted to use cloth from the get go but I never gave them enough thought and I assumed it would be too much hassle with C being my first baby. Now he is 10 months old and I feel as though I'm a pro at being a mummy so I went for it! 

Before now, I'd only ever tried one size fits all cloth nappies with poppers. I'll be honest, they're a little bit scary so I was quite happy to see that gNappies had Velcro fasteners. Popper nappies are also pocketed so I was surprised that you only had to tuck in the liner as I'd never seen these before (see photo below). 

In my eyes, this makes them so much simpler. I don't need to change the nappy at every change, just the liner. The Velcro has also made my life easier as I'm not constantly thinking, "Ooh, I wonder if I've buttoned that up right? What if he leaks?" They make the transition so much smoother.

I'll be honest and say that with the popper nappies, I've had some leaks (probably due to fastening) but we haven't had a single problem with the gPants (neither with a disposable liner nor microfibre - even during the night!) and I use one liner for 2-3 hours.

They are very compact and easily fit underneath C's clothes. He hasn't had any rashes with them and seems very comfortable. I actually get sad when I need to wash them and he has to wear a different nappy. gPants are my new love and I really don't want him to wear any other nappy! (Might have to buy all the ones that gNappies have on sale!)

If you're looking into changing to cloth nappies, I really cannot recommend gNappies enough. I'm really having trouble thinking of any negatives. They are totally worth the money. Even my partner thinks they're great and he's not a fan of cloth! As I mentioned before, they're great for transitioning. You won't regret it! 

You can find gNappies at their website, Facebook and Twitter.

These cloth nappies retail at £14.95 each.

Introducing gNappies first gVideo!

Changing the way the world changes nappies.
Celebrate gNappies first gVideo and make the change.

Conventional nappies take 500 years to break down.
Wet gNappies are completely compostable/biodegradable within 150 days. With each baby needing an average of 6,000 changes, choosing gNappies gives you the option to create a different future for our planet.

gNappies invited gMums from all over the UK for a gTea at Orleans Park Gallery Gardens by the Thames.  Videoing for posterity, the first gVideo was born. Watch and share the video here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2H_q3UroKc&feature=youtu.be

“An amazing product in its own right, gNappies deliver everything that's great in a conventional nappy, but has improved it to deliver environmental credentials with a 100% biodegradable, compostable*, disposable insert, combined with a breathable covering that's better for your baby's skin.  I feel very privileged to be part of the worldwide team that's changing the way the world thinks about nappies." Louise Kjellerup Roper, gNappies European Managing Director.   

It is this belief and the cold facts about conventional nappies that drove husband and wife duo and gNappies co-founders, Kim and Jason Graham-Nye to find a better way. “We both imagined our unborn child all grown up and asking us “What were you thinking?!.”  After intensive research and hard work behind disposable nappies, gNappies was then born.

In the behind scenes of the video seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuQLK5YBys8&feature=youtu.be, gNappies introduce the new limited edition gRegal gPants.  The plush purple velour embroidered nappy has a delicate gold crown atop of the signature “g”, adding a hint of royalty to welcome any newborn into the world.  It's wonderful to have a reason to celebrate another, rather special, new birth.  Notably, HRH Prince Charles is a tremendous pioneer of doing all that he can to avoid leaving a "dysfunctional world" to the next generation.
