UK Cloth Nappy Library Network

There is a network of volunteers across the UK, who love cloth nappies and all the benefits they bring so much that these volunteers are willing to dedicate their time to helping other people find the nappies that work best for them. These volunteers will meet with you, show you the different nappies, explain everything you need to know. They are the librarians of the UK Cloth Nappy Library Network and they are here to help. 

 

Seeing the nappies "in the fluff" and being able to look at them properly makes everything so much easier. And the nappy libraries allow you to hire or borrow washable nappies, and everything else you might need, so that you can try them out before you commit to anything. The libraries are non-profit and volunteer led, and usually don't sell anything themselves so are non-biased too. They will support you in your choice and offer guidance throughout the process of choosing which nappies suit your family best. They offer continued support whilst your child grows up too, often being able to loan you potty-training pants, or help with solutions for older children who still need protection at night. Some libraries even offer long term loans to those in need!

If you have got nappies that you no longer need and you would like to donate them to a good cause, your local nappy library may well be able to make good use of them! To donate please list waht you have in this Facebook group.

If you would like to talk to someone in person, have a look at some nappies and borrow a kit or if you have some nappies click here to find a map of all the UK libraries then click on the pin closest to where you live!
