Mini Matters Sugarsnap Reusable All-In-One Nappy System – Printed (OSFM)

Description

The Mini Matters Sugarsnap All-In-One (AIO) nappies are premium one-size-fits most, all natural nappies with luxurious rolled elastics that fit babies from approximately 6kg up to potty training. Made from 100% pure, locally milled cotton with a breathable waterproof outer featuring designs created local artists.

These nappies are unlike any other available in South Africa, in that they look and work almost exactly like disposable nappies – except that they are easily washable and reusable – thereby making the switch to cloth nappies super easy and intuitive – for anyone! Fantastic option for daycare, daddies, nannies, grannies or any newbie to cloth.

No more excuses: Make laundry – not landfill!

Features:

• 100% locally milled cotton inner, making the entire inner nappy absorbent and very trim
• Rolled elastics for an extra gentle touch
• Pocket opening to tuck the sewn-in inserts in (optional) and to add boosting for heavy wetting babies
• Silky soft and breathable waterproof outer printed in designs created by local artists
• Inserts that fold open for faster drying
• Hand made in a socially conscious factory in Johannesburg

Insert options:

1. A pad folded cotton flat can be used as a pocket insert
2. A booster
3. Any other pocket inserts you already have at home

Note: Add a booster or two if needed to adjust absorbency to your baby’s output. A cloth nappy should last at least 2 hours and should not be left on for longer than 3 hours during the day.

Why use reusable cloth nappies instead of disposable nappies? Because:

• Cloth made from natural fibres such as cotton, hemp or bamboo are breathable and free from chemicals found in disposables, i.e. healthier for your baby’s skin, leading to fewer rashes, skin irritations and tears
• It’s reusable, i.e. more cost-effective than disposables in the long run (do the maths how many disposable nappies a baby needs in total, compared to a few full-time reusable nappies in total)
• Because it’s reusable and biodegradable, it is more environmentally friendly (a disposable nappy takes 450 years to break down… do the maths on how many disposable nappies are trashed for a single baby… that’s a lot of single-use trash that literally takes centuries to decompose! A cloth nappy takes 6 months to decompose in a hot compost pile at home)
• Because Mini Matters cloth nappies are durable, popular and highly prized, it also has great resell value on the second-hand market for mums looking to save.

Directions for use:

On the bum, as a pocket nappy (daytime):

1. Always adjust the front rise snaps before attaching/stuffing the inserts
2. Optional: stuff an additional booster or other insert into the pocket opening at the back, ensuring it is straight and well positioned
3. Optional: add a disposable or washable liner on top. The pocket lining is made from a moisture wicking fabric that will keep baby’s bum feeling dry, so no additional stay-dry liner is needed.
4. Put the prepared Sugarsnap nappy on baby, adjusting the plastic stud snaps to fit your baby’s body size
5. Once the nappy has been put on baby, make sure the elastics are tucked into the panty line
6. Run your fingers along the leg elastics. None of the inside lining should stick out. Elastics should be snug with no leg gaps
7. The nappy is suitable for daytime use, and the entire assembly should be replaced with another nappy after 2-3 hours
8. When it’s time to change the nappy, remove the insert, wipe down the cover if necessary and put it with the laundry stash

Note:

Recommended for daytime use.

Washing:

Wash covers with your other cloth diapers in a normal machine cycle. Do not wash at temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, do not tumble dry. The use of bleach and other chemicals can damage the PU layer. Line dry out of direct sunlight. See our Complete Nappy Laundry 101 Guide for details.

Bum cream:

Cloth nappies are much healthier than disposables and will lead to fewer nappy rashes; however, it can still occur. Avoid using conventional bum creams, barrier creams or petroleum jellies. The artificial and non-biodegradable chemicals affect the absorbency of your nappy and can cause build­-up on the fibres, reducing the nappy’s efficiency.  Instead, use coconut oil (that is naturally anti-bacterial), or a cloth friendly product like Simply Bee Baby Bum Balm, if you feel the need to use something.
