Nappy Composition
My Little Gumnut Modern Cloth Nappies have be specifically designed for comfort, ease of use and effectiveness. The nappies have 2 components – a soft, breathable and water-resistant outer layer (“the shell”) and a super thirsty insert.
Modern Cloth Nappies are made with an ultrasoft water-resistant material on the outside and feature a pocket made with 100% bamboo fleece on the inside. The bamboo layer will sit against your babies skin, keeping them dry and comfortable.
Inserts are made with 2 layers of 100% bamboo on the outside and are filled with 3 layers of ultra thirsty microfiber on the inside. The insert will slide into the pocket of the shell, to create the perfect cloth nappy system for your little one.
As the insert is the absorbent part of the nappy, it has been specifically designed to quickly draw away any moisture, leaving your babies skin feeling dry. By sliding the insert into the pocket of the shell, you are creating a barrier (the bamboo fleece layer) between babies skin and the insert. The bamboo fleece does not absorb moisture, rather it allows it to pass through and be absorbed into the insert.
Having this layer of protection between the insert and babies skin, allows for the insert to be changed without having to change the complete nappy (please note, it is recommended to change the entire nappy every 2-3 changes however if baby soils, the entire nappy will need to be changed).
The stay dry nappy design leaves your babies skin feeling dry which will decrease the likelihood of your little one developing any sort of nappy rash.
Sizing
My Little Gumnut aim to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible. Which is why their cloth nappies are adjustable to grow with your baby. The reusable nappies are suitable for weight ranges 3-18kg.
Adjustable to fit Newborn – Toddler
All of our MCN’s are fully adjustable and made to fit from newborn until toilet training, meaning there is no need to buy more every time bub has a growth spurt. Using the snaps at the front allows you to adjust the length of the nappy, while the snaps at the top allows you to fasten around the legs and waist.
Prevent Leakages
While leakages will occur from time to time in any nappy system, ongoing leakages should not occur. If you are experiencing ongoing leakages with your nappies, there may be a number of factors contributing to this. Please go to our FAQs for troubleshooting tips.
Liners
Modern Cloth Nappies come complete and ready to use, however you may wish to add a liner to assist with clean up. My Little Gumnut bamboo liners are specifically designed to catch the solids and make the clean-up process easier and quicker for you.
They have created 2 designs of liners to suit your specific needs:
- Bio-Liners are designed as a single-use liner. After use, simply dispose of the solids into the toilet then dispose of the liner into the bin or compost.
- Reusable Bamboo Liners are designed to be used over and over again. After use, simply dispose of the solids into the toilet, rinse the liner under the tap and wash with your reusable nappies.
Manufacturer's Recommended Care Guide
Caring for your MCN’s is pain-free with these 4 easy steps:
- Rinse off any solids (or remove solids with your Flushable Bamboo Liner)
- Place in a dry bucket with a lid
- Machine wash with your usual detergent (a quarter to half a scoop only)
- Line dry in the sun.
The sun will act as a natural disinfectant and draw out any stains, eliminating the need to use whiteners, brighteners or softeners. Always wash your MCN’s 2-3 times before use to boost the absorbency of the inserts.
PLEASE NOTE: We recommend washing nappies in cold water and line drying in the sun. If you prefer to wash in warm water, the water temperature should never exceed 40 degrees Celsius. Never dry your outer shells in the dryer.
