Real Nappies Cloth Diapers Review & Giveaway

~~~THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED~~~

Cloth diapering with prefolds and covers is my favorite option for newborns. It not only contains messes well in the diaper, but it is also the most inexpensive option to cloth diapering a newborn. Real Nappies has created prefold and cover systems to fit from newborn through toddler that is inexpensive. Their products even come with a "Two-Child Guarantee", promising the materials on their systems will last through 2 children or they will replace them!

How the Real Nappies Systems Work

A Real Nappies System is composed of 3 pieces, the waterproof diaper cover, the cotton prefold and the bioliner diaper liner. The waterproof cover is made of PUL fabric to keep the wetness in and clothes dry. The cover only needs to be washed when soiled and it dries very quickly. The cotton prefold is made from a highly absorbent all natural materials. In fact, the cotton has undergone rigorous testing to be checked for over 100 harmful substances. The bioliner diaper liner is a flushable and biodegradable liner to allow moisture to seep through to the prefold below, but keep messes on top of the liner making it easier to dispose of.

Our Real Nappies Experience!
I received a Real Nappies Intro Pack in the Newborn Size to try out on Cole. Obviously I haven't had a chance to try it out on him yet since we are still waiting on his grand arrival. However, I am getting his stash of cloth diapers together and I am excited about adding a Real Nappies pack to it. 

Prefolds and covers are my favorite option in cloth diapering newborns for several reasons. First of all the always seem to contain messes the best. Second, the cotton prefolds help newly sensitive bottoms from developing diaper rashes much less than using other types of cloth diapers made from man made materials. Third, prefolds and covers wash up very clean and I hardly ever hear parents having stink issues with them.

Once I received my intro pack I opened it up to check it out. I love the thickness of the cover and how stretchy the waist and legs are. My former newborn covers were nothing like the Real Nappies Snug Wrap and left red marks on Ethan's legs. I can tell that this cover will really fit much better.  The prefold is super soft and it wash up nicely. Folded up it fits great in the cover. The intro pack also includes one bioliner which I'm interested in trying out. 

Overall the Real Nappies System looks great and I really can't wait to try it out on Cole (he just needs to hurry up and arrive!). I will be sharing how the Real Nappies System works on him after he's here so keep your eye out for that post!

BUY IT! You can purchase directly on the Real Nappies website. Right now they have a special deal on their 6 pack of Snug Wraps for $36! Great price!
