Our small person is an excellent sleeper but a wet or leaking nappy will wake her, usually at around 3am. We did not have to get out of bed with the Pura. 7:30am came and we all got up, with the little one sporting a super heavy, wet nappy that didn’t leak even one drop. We were both utterly confused how such a thin nappy contained so much urine, but it did. What’s more, no discomfort and no sign of an imminent nappy rash. We tested again the following night and the result was exactly the same.

Simple white nappies with cute patterns inspired by nature keep things simple and not too twee. No silly mantras or affirmations here (trust me, they get very patronising during a 3am nappy change), just a nice looking nappy. Each nappy can take hundreds of years to naturally degrade, so the sheer number of disposable nappies thrown away presents serious problems to the environment. This is particularly true when you consider that each baby could use more than 5,000 nappies before they are fully potty trained.
