Washable nappies with a mission
In collaboration with Lunakind
When founders Florian and Sarah became parents themselves, they were shocked by the huge mountain of waste created by disposable nappies. According to Milieu Centraal, this is about five thousand nappies per child! There must be another way, they thought. When they couldn't find the ideal washable nappy themselves, they set to work on their own design. They searched for sustainable materials and developed a washable nappy that met all their requirements. With Lunakind nappies, you can attach the absorbent part to the cover with press-studs, making it easy to prepare the nappy. This makes changing easier and is therefore also ideal for daycare or on the go. As Lunakind has different types of inserts, you can choose which material and model you like best and adjust the absorbency to reduce the risk of leakage.
The nappies are made of good, high-quality fabrics. For instance, the briefs are made of recycled polyester with TPU (to make them waterproof) and the inserts mainly of natural materials such as cotton, hemp and bamboo. In short, gentle on baby's bottom and your wallet, as this makes them last a very long time. Great! And they have also thought of the eye, as the designs are beautiful. See for yourself.
