Help With Buying Nappies
Although using Real Nappies will save your family at least £500 per baby, many families struggle to meet the upfront cost to purchase their nappies.
Here are Go Real’s top tips to help you with the initial cost!
Spread the cost by starting to save when you’re pregnant – if you can save £10 per week from your 12 week scan, until baby is born, you’ll have enough money to buy all the nappies your baby will need until they’re potty trained!
Little Lamb, Softbots and Screaming Green all provide gradual payment schemes which allow you to pay for your Real Nappies in small installments, helping you spread out the cost.
Ask family and friends for donations towards your nappy fund – someone may even have some nappies you can borrow.
Make sure you make the right choice. Try and have a look at several different types of nappy before you decide on a complete system and spend any money. Our website lists Nappuccinos and events where you can see the range available and get some advice from an expert.
Join your local Credit Union for easy access savings and low-cost loans – ideal to save during pregnancy for your new baby or to access a loan to help purchase Real Nappies. There are over 300 Credit Unions in the UK so there should be one near you, find your nearest one here: www.abcul.coop

Financial Difficulty
If you are on a very low income or in receipt of benefits and this is your first baby, you may be eligible for a £500 Sure Start Maternity Grant. You can apply for this through Jobcentre Plus and it’s the perfect opportunity to purchase your Real Nappies!
Budgeting Loans from the Social Fund are available to families in receipt of benefits to help with the purchase of various essential items which may cover your Real Nappies. Apply through Jobcentre Plus.
Check out your local classifieds, Freecycle and auction sites for donations of preloved second hand nappies.
