Nappy Library

Modern Cloth Nappy Hire

The Nappy Guru’s Modern Cloth Nappy Library is the ultimate  “try before you buy” service that makes it an easy and stress free and economical way to start your cloth nappy journey with all the additional accessories and support you need to succeed!

Newborn Hire Kit: Did you know that newborns go through 500 nappy changes in their first 6 weeks of life and that most One Size nappies are too bulky or ill fitting?  So why not reduce the environmental footprint while having fun choosing which gorgeous teeny tiny nappy will go on next and save your self the hassle of buying and selling newborn nappies that your child will grow out of within a few weeks!

We suggest that you choose the start date as your  Expected Delivery Date (EDD). You can choose to receive the kit before your EDD for those who want to start from hospital (1 week in advance) or after your baby arrives earthside and you are settled in at home (1-2 weeks after EDD). Please note that your hire starts from the day after your kit is received (picked up or delivered).  Book and pay for it here: https://nappiesandmore.com.au/products/nappy-hire-kit-newborn-size

Brand Trial Hire Kit & Night Nappy Hire Kit & WAHM Nappy Hire Kit: Just like a book library but with nappies! With so many nappy brands out there and new ones popping up each week, it can be overwhelming to figure out which ones will suit your family! This kit will help you make an informed decision with all the information at your fingertips! Each trial kit comes with a comprehensive contents list outlining the brand, style, model, size,  material, and the RRP with photos. Now you can compare prices and fit of different nappies side by side together in one place on your baby without the additional postage costs and hassle of buying several trial packs from various suppliers or trawling through buy and sell pages. And just like a real library – if you don’t see a nappy you want to try – request it and we can try to get it in by the time you need it! You can rest easy knowing that the nappies you receive are somewhere in the list of top 25 favourites by other cloth nappy users! Book your kit here: https://nappiesandmore.com.au/products/nappy-hire-kit-brand-trial

Both Newborn and Brand Trial kits have enough nappies to do cloth “full time” and the nappies and accessories are worth over $600 if sourced brand new! 

Extend your hire: Especially handy for Newborn kits! If your baby  is looking like they will fit the newborn nappies after the standard 6 weeks hire, you can choose to extend the hire for $30/week (for approx the same price for a box of disposables) after week 5  – giving you all the flexibility you need in case your baby grows out of the nappies (subject to availability).

“Thanks so much for this service. It was really helpful to be able to try them out. Particularly the fleece and wool covers as I wasn’t brave enough to buy one before! It seems that several of the nappies worked well for our Bub, so trying to decide which of them will be best for us longer term as she gets bigger :-)”  Brie S (Night Nappy Hire Client via email 22/11/21)

If you want to support Australian designed AND Australian Made small businesses – then you must try WAHM (Working at Home Maker) nappies. These are the most ethically made nappies you will find out there which means they can be a little pricey too!

These hand made works of art are the epitome of love, dedication and constant refining from the maker (usually a mumma or grandma) and it’s what sets them apart from mass produced factory made nappies!  With so many WAHM brands out there and growing by the day choosing who to support can be quite overwhelming!  

Typically, WAHM brands have limited capacity for creating large quantities of nappies, so a small quantity of nappies are released using a ballot type system every so often via their website or VIP group on Facebook! It can be very exciting waiting to find out if you were chosen and disappointing too if you miss out – another hurdle for a potential buyer. Then you have the postage costs adding up each time you buy because unlike factory made nappies most WAHM nappies are not found in one store.   

This is why I created the WAHM Nappy trial kit – to help you find the right nappy for your baby – saving you money, time and hassle while supporting a well deserving WAHM with (hopefully) a larger order – WIN WIN WIN all round!    

Your WAHM nappy Trial kit will be made of brands that have been around for over 10 years as well as some relative newcomers who are hoping to build their brand! It’s easy to make a fully informed decision when you have 15 of the best WAHM brands to try on YOUR baby and compare them side by side for full 4 weeks and it’s only setting you back $140 (less if you live in a local council that offers a subsidy or rebate! – WOOT WOOT). 

Don’t worry if you don’t know which WAHM nappies to choose or if you want a mix of WAHM and factory made nappies – fill out the booking form below and I will get in touch with you to personalise your selection of nappies

If you are a WAHM nappy extraordinaire then why not get in touch (email kam@thenappyguru.com.au or use FB Messenger) and I would be delighted to purchase your nappies to put them in this WAHM nappy library to get your brand out there

I've found this a really great, affordable service that has helped ease me into using cloth nappies right from the start with my little one and would be a great way to get more people using cloth without the initial huge set up cost.

Best thing was being able to try all the different brands. It was long enough to get to know the different brands and even retry some styles I initially dismissed but found ok after being a bit more knowledgeable.
