We have had a bit of a hesitant start. Everything was all set for the release, and despite the verbal enthusiasm, we haven't had much of an uptake. It's a shame, but I'm hoping that the vastly increased advertising will help a lot. The parents that have had a kit have been really keen, very positive and appreciative of our efforts.
Currently in the kits:
Two part/sized:
Little Lamb Microterry
Sandy's Bamboo
Lollipop Micro
One part/sized:
Itti Bitti D'lish snap-in-one
Two part/birth to potty:
Nature Babies Big Softie Microterry
One part/birth to potty:
Bumgenius
Flat nappies:
Bamboo terry square
prefolds
Wraps:
Nature Babies popper
Motherease Rikki
Little Lamb velcro
Laundry bag, fleece liners, flushable liners, nippas.
I'm considering adding the Cottontail nappy, which is a birth to potty nappy made of cotton velour. Partly because I noticed that we had a lot of synthetic materials (in an effort to convince washables can be quick-drying), and also because we've already been given some for displays and so we can add them at no extra cost! The only thing stopping me is that no one locally stocks them, and we said we would only have locally stocked nappies. I would welcome your comments!
Why North Somerset Nappy Alliance?
NSNA is a voluntary organisation. Gathering together the council, sellers, health professionals and enthusiastic parents, the North Somerset Nappy Alliance will help to raise the profile of using washable nappies across the county, starting in Weston.
Although I am also a seller, I am committed to giving customers a choice. I believe that spreading the word about washable nappies is a separate issue to the business of selling! North Somerset is a rural county that is spread across a wide area. Unlike Bristol, where information and services are concentrated and easy to access, North Somerset needs a place for parents to go to for impartial advice and information. The North Somerset Nappy Alliance will fill this gap and help move towards a greater awareness that the difference using washables nappies can make to our environment, and how easy, simple and inexpensive it can be!
