For some people washable nappies seem rather daunting. Well make it into a New Years Resolution and a great way to save some pennies too.
Give it ago, you have nothing to loose. :-)

Disposable Nappy Facts

Chemicals

Disposable nappy manufacturer's use so many different chemicals to make them absorbent, whilst still remaining thin. When using cloth nappies you are guaranteed not to expose these chemicals to your baby's skin.

Some of the chemicals found in disposables are as follows:

TriButylTin - otherwise known as TBT was found in disposable nappies by the Women's Environmental Network (WEN) and Greenpeace. WEN found levels of 3.6 times the recommended level. TBT can be absorbed by your baby's skin and is a toxic chemical, which is a known endocrine disruptor. It is known that TBT causes s*x changes to occur in shell fish. TBT is found in the plastic of the disposable nappy.

Sodium Polyacrylate is a super absorber. This chemical was considered to contribute to Toxic Shock Syndrome and the use of it in tampons was banned in 1985. Sodium Polyacrylate gives the illusion that your baby's skin is dry and actually it isn't. Sodium Polyacrylate when found in a disposable nappy looks like small crystals. Anyone who has used disposable nappies, know that as the nappy gets wet it expands and turns to a gel like substance. Sometimes this can leak from the nappy onto your baby's skin.

As disposable nappies have only been around since the late 1970's and early 1980's, there has not been any long term studies on all the chemicals found in the disposable nappy. A German study back in 2000 found that disposable nappies increased the scrotal temperature of boys, and whilst new born baby boys testicles are still developing, this is a major concern. Increased scrotal temperature is known to be associated with infertility in men. The German study also examined fertility rates in Men. The research found that the average s***m count in these men had decreased by some 25% and showed that the number of men being treated in fertility clinics has increased over the last 30 years.

Harrods's display, which was sent to this page incorrectly labeled "Halloween Display" -- it is actually from Harrod's Christmas display (a few years ago). Sorry for the confusion.
