FAQ’s
How easy it is to use reusable nappies?
Reusable nappies really aren’t too different from single-use nappies (apart from all the great features of course) and if you follow a few of our simple steps, you’ll be fitting them like a pro before you know it!
Step by step basics – how to fit the nappy
First, adjust the poppers to get the right fit for your baby. Doing this before you change your wriggly baby will make things a lot easier. If you’re using liners (either Messless or Revolutionary Reusable), place one in the centre of the nappy. Next, lay your baby down on the open nappy and pull the front up, securing in place by using the adjustable tabs. Check that the boosters and fabric are all tucked inside and that the elastic edge sits in the leg line. For a comfortable fit you should be able to slide two fingers easily into the waistband at the front.
How often do I need to change the nappy?
Just like all nappies, you'll need to check and change them every 2 - 4 hours throughout the day. At night-time, combine boosters if required for a peaceful night's sleep. Our flexi booster is made from super-absorbent hemp and is extra-long and designed to be folded for additional absorbency where needed (great for front sleepers).
Can I use your Miosolo nappies from newborn?
The Miosolo will fit your baby from around 3 months old depending on their size. If you are looking for a nappy that will fit your baby from newborn, you'll love our new Revolutionary Reusable nappy.
How Many Reusable Nappies Do I Need?
When your baby is young their nappy should be regularly checked and changed every 2-4 hours. You can store used nappies in your Stay at Home Wet Bag for up to 3 days before washing. With this in mind, for full-time use you'll need 20 nappies so that you have some to use while others are in the wash.
What's the difference between liners and boosters?
Liners are designed to make nappy changes a little easier by catching poo and helping you to remove it in a mess-free way. Add one liner on top of the nappy and when it's time to change, simply lift off the liner and dispose poo down the toilet. Replace with a new liner at every nappy change. There is two options:
Messless liners are disposable and made from plant-based materials.
Revolutionary Reusable liners can be washed with your nappies and reused again and again.
Boosters are designed to add extra absorbency to your nappies. These are especially great for long periods such as overnight or if your baby is a heavy wetter. Before fitting the nappy, insert a booster into the pocket of your nappy.
How do I use the poppers?
Get your poppers into the right position before each nappy change – it’s a lot easier when you don’t have a wriggly baby in the nappy.
If you have a newborn baby, you’ll need to use the bottom set of poppers, attaching them to the closing top set. Once your baby is a toddler, you’ll probably have no need to use the poppers at all however the adjustable tabs at the front will allow you to alter the fit as their shape changes.
