For Real Nappy Week 2011 we spoke to lots of parents about their experiences of using Real Nappies. We spoke to mums and dads, parents who work, parents with twins, grandparents, nappy advisors as well as some retailers and manufacturers. You can read or listen to their stories below.
Angela Macfayden
I have two children: Jessica is four in June and Julian is one in June; and I have used Real Nappies with both my children; so most of Julian’s nappies have been used before for Jess. Read More...
Jenny Carr
I have 10 children, from 16 down to 6 months and I home educate them as well. I live in Lincs, with my husband of 18 years. We very much enjoy the outdoors, are Christians, and enjoy exploring, and having fun. When I do get a minute, I also like to read, and play scrabble! Read More...

I have 2 boys, William who is 3 years and Edward who is 9 months. I decided on Real Nappies before William was born, picked out Mothercare Smart Nappies and bought the starter set in the small size. Read More...
Pipa Guest
My name is Pipa Guest, I am married to Mark and we have one child, Matthew who was born on New Year's Eve 2010. We live in a small village in Essex called Great Wakering and I have been training for the London Moonwalk which happens this weekend so Matthew likes long walks in the pram, especially along Southend Seafront; swimming, rolling around on the floor and at the moment trying to crawl.

The Schofield Family
We are the Schofield family, our son James is 19 months old and has been using Bum Genius Real Nappies since he came out of hospital. We live in Leicestershire and we like to go out to the park, swimming and family outings visiting Grandparents, pretty much like the average family! Read More...
Steph Wardle
We were recently contacted by Steph Wardle who was really keen to use Real Nappies but was having a few teething problems and with no one in her local area to quiz Go Real stepped in to give her a bit of advice. We thought that sharing the conversation might help others who are experiencing any issues. Read More...
Tracey Smith
I used Real nappies on my own children from birth, that’s what everyone did then. Disposables were seen as a luxury, only really to be used in an emergency. So when my grandchildren came along it just made sense to choose Real Nappies for them too. Nappies are an intimate part of their clothing and I don’t like the thought of all those chemicals next to their skin. Read More...

Not sure if Real Nappies are for you?
Neither was Charley who was nominated by her sister to take part in the Real Nappy Week Challenge. We sent Charley a whole pile of nappies, confident that she would find something that she liked. Little did we know that she would turn into a Real Nappy enthusiast!!
