GloBugs is an Australian home-based business located in Canberra. Pick-up is available and if you are local please contact us if you would like to see and try the nappies before you buy!

Bamboo is known for its hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial properties, as well as being able to wick moisture away from babies skin. Perfect for nappies.
They are extremely absorbent. Fits easily to your baby using snap buttons.

Recommended number of nappies will vary depending on baby's age and frequency! But here's a rough guide if you are washing every day:

Newborns - 3mths: 16-18 nappies
Up to toddler: 10-12 nappies
Up to 3 yrs: 6-8 nappies

Please remember this is the bare minimum and its better to have more than required in case of emergencies! There's nothing worse than being caught short!!

To use nappies: Adjust size to fit using snap buttons across the front of the nappy. Stuff one or two inserts (depending on needs) into pocket of nappy. Fit to baby.
For Newborn Nappies, put 1or 2 inserts into pocket (depending on need) and fit to baby. Alternatively, you can lay the inserts on the nappy.
If your baby is very tiny and the nappy is big then fold the back wings over once and fasten to baby. This shortens the length and will tighten the nappy around the legs.

If you need any more advice please contact me. I have had 3 boys (my youngest is just out of nappies) so I have lots of experience (not all good) with nappies!

HINTS

Prewash bamboo nappies several times to increase absorbency.
Do NOT use fabric softener or barrier creams on bamboo nappies as it decreases absorbency.
Do NOT use soaps or washing fluid with oils.
For nappy rash use a non-barrier cream or a liner to protect nappy. If cream builds up on nappy decreasing absorbency do several washes without detergent to remove build-up.
If you notice the nappy is not absorbing as well, do several washes without detergent to remove build-up.
Rinsing after use will help prolong the life of the nappy.
Wash regularly ~ at least every 2nd day.
Do NOT tumble dry nappies with PUL layers.
Ensure nappy is dry before putting away especially in humid climates.
