Introducing BYON: Bring Your Own Nappies!

Our BYO option is designed to give you the freedom and flexibility to choose the perfect nappies for your little one while still enjoying all the benefits of our services. Here’s why BYO'ing your nappies is a game-changer:

1. Personalized Nappy Selection

Cute Prints Galore: There are so many beautiful modern cloth nappies out there, we don't want you to resist! Whether you’re into polka dots, animals, or vibrant colors, the choice is yours. You get to do the fun part and we'll do the stinky part! 

2. Make the Most of Gifted Nappies
Got a stash of nappies from a baby shower or as a gift from a doting aunt? BYON allows you to use those nappies. Need a few extra? We’ve got you covered with our loan options to help fill any gaps.

3. Nappies for Every Occasion
Nighttime? Daytime? Childcare?: Tailor your nappy stash to your baby’s daily routine. Choose different nappies for nighttime, pull-ups for potty training, or nappies specifically for childcare. You can even include soiled undies and pants from potty-training toddlers—we’ll wash those for you too!

Tips to Maximize Your BYON Experience with us:

Choosing the Right Nappy
- Durability Matters: Opt for sturdy nappies that can withstand regular use and washing. Some of our favorite brands include Minnie and Mae, Little Popkin, Eco Naps, Designer Bums and Bare and Boho
- Easy Labeling: Make life easier by choosing nappies that can be labeled with a fabric pen. Or you can also explore nappy-specific labeling systems that make use of the nappy snaps
- User-Friendly Options: If grandparents, friends, or babysitters will be helping out, consider nappies that are easy to use. Nappies that use velcro for fastening, can be easier for infrequent nappy changers! 

To ensure your nappies stay in top condition, follow these care tips:
- Unclip Everything: Before popping it into the Little Droppings bin provided to you, unclip the nappy completely to ensure a thorough clean. This allows every nook and cranny to be properly washed.
- Separate Inserts and Covers: Detach inserts from covers to prevent the elastic from stretching during the wash. Our commercial washing machine uses a high spin rate to remove as much water as possible. This simple step helps prolong the life of your nappy elastics. 
- Rinse Off Poops: While not required, rinsing off solid waste before washing can help keep your nappies be stain-free for longer. It’s an extra step, but it makes a big difference in the long run.

With BYON, you get the best of both worlds—personalized nappy choices and the convenience of professional cleaning. We’re here to support you every step of the way, making nappy care as easy and flexible as possible! And most importantly, helping reduce the use of disposable nappies!
