Real Nappy Week 2018 – post 4

Nappy Ever After’s shop is open every Tuesday from 2-6pm, just show up, no booking necessary.  We also run a real nappy workshop one Saturday a month.  Check our website to book a place.  Our address is 81 Murray Grove, N1 7QJ.

Our shop is a 7 minutes walk from Old Street stations or 5 mins walk from bus stops on City Road and New North Road.  You can also reach us via Regent’s Canal.  Leave the tow path at Shepherdess Bridge.

We are the only place in London where you can see, touch and talk about washable nappies every week.  Many people these days are happy to buy on the internet but we are here for you if you want to see before you buy.  Babies are welcome!  You can try on a nappy to test out the size and fit.

Nappy Ever After stocks all the major brands: BambinoMio, bumGenius, gDiapers, Bummis, Disana, Motherease and more.  We want to make real nappies simple.  Our trial packs allow you to start out at a low cost and build up your nappy stash based on your experience.  Choosing real nappies is much less stressful and risky than buying a pushchair as your investment can be spread out over time, based on what works best for you and your baby.

Don’t wait for Real Nappy Week to buy our £54.15 trial pack.  It is worth £70 and this offer is available all year round!  Real Nappies for London vouchers accepted.

We also offer a nappy laundry service, a weekly delivery of soft, sterile, cotton nappies.  We take away the used nappies to be washed and used again.  To be truly sustainable we do all our deliveries with an electric freight bike which limits our geographical reach.  If you are interested please check our website to see if we cover your area.

 

This post is part four of a six part series of posts leading up to Real Nappy Week 2018 (23-29 April.) Nappy Ever After, a not-for-profit real nappy social enterprise is 15 years old this year. Working in partnership with local authorities and parents, we have tested out the market for washable nappies in depth, through offering a local nappy laundry service and selling real nappies face-to-face. What we know is that recovering the culture of reusable nappies is slow, but a significant level of disposable nappy waste is reduced when a culture of real nappies thrives in local areas.

Real Nappy Week 2018 (23-29 April)

This post is part one of a six part series of posts leading up to Real Nappy Week 2018 (23-29 April.) Nappy Ever After, a not-for-profit real nappy social enterprise is 15 years old this year. Working in partnership with local authorities and parents, we have tested out the market for washable nappies in depth, through offering a local nappy laundry service and selling real nappies face-to-face. What we know is that recovering the culture of reusable nappies is slow, but a significant level of disposable nappy waste is reduced when a culture of real nappies thrives in local areas.

This Real Nappy Week  I am making a plea: we need more people with the intention to reduce disposable nappy waste.  And where do I get this idea of intention?  Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

According to the news this morning, today is an  historic day.  Wigan, a second-league club knocked the invincible Manchester City out of the FA Cup.  City manager Pep Guardiola defends his players “It’s the intention that matters, not the result.”

Let’s get out there and spread these encouraging words from someone who knows about leadership.  We all need the intention to reduce nappy waste if we’re going to make it happen.  Sadly, this didn’t work for Man City last night but this is not about winning today, reducing nappy waste is a long game!  And Man City will win the league.
