Most people will think of fluffy white terry towelling squares flapping in the breeze.
And the folding required to get them prepped.
And the leaks with plastic pilchers.
And the soaking and hauling the nappy bucket while trying not to slosh it around too much.

Is this what you think of cloth nappies? Then now is time to change the way you think about nappies.

Modern cloth nappies have coma a long way.
They require much less work (thanks to modern washing machines), work better with less leaks and less rash (thanks to more absorbant materials and breathable materials for covers) and come in a wide range of stylish colours, prints and even fluffy fabric.

So why use cloth nappies?

1. They are easy to use - No pins required as they close with velcro or resin snaps.
No need for complicated folds as they are cut into nappy shapes and have elastic sewn in.

2. Easy care – No soaking required, use the sun instead to kill germs and bleach out stains.
No more poo scraping: flushable liners and/or a mini shower attachment in the toilet helps to clean off poo into the toilet with minimal fuss.
Machine wash on warm with minimal detergent to prevent detergent buildup that could cause nappies to repel fluid.

3. Save money compared to disposable nappies.

It has been calculated that a typical baby goes through $3000+ worth of disposable nappies from birth to toilet-training.
Compare that to modern cloth, which would cost between $500-800 for a decent nappy stash, more if you wanted a larger rotation of nappies to ensure they don’t get worn out before the next child uses them.

4. Elasticated to keep messes in, and to keep you clean.

5. Stylish and cute. You can get them in all colours of the rainbow, in various prints, and various smooth or fluffy textures.

6. Hi-tech fabrics absorb lots of moisture (e.g. bamboo, hemp and microfibre), while keeping baby dry (e.g. liners made of microsuede cloth or microfleece), and breathable (e.g. PUL)

For disposable users, here are a few facts to mull on. Did you Know:

- Every single disposable nappy that has ever existed still exists in landfill.

- In Australia, up to 2.2 million disposable nappies are thrown away every day.

- Washing cloth nappies uses 2.3 times less water if laundered responsibly, compared to water used in manufacturing disposable nappies.

- From personal experience, a newly changed dirty cloth nappy smells far better than a newly changed dirty disposable nappy. For some reason, disposable nappies absolutely reek, while cloth nappies only have the normal wee/poo smell. Sometimes not even a whiff escapes until change time even for a big poo, could you say that of disposable nappies?

This website is based on the original Bubba J website in 2006/2007, so some of the product information and pictures are outdated.
I will update the webpages when time permits.

Bubba J will also transition into a new label this year, and move to a shiny new website when the whole range has been converted over.

The idea is to update each Bubba J nappy product to reflect current trends and based on customer feedback.
Once each nappy product is updated, the new label will be applied on it.

Currently there is one nappy that has been designed based on the original Bubba J sized pocket nappies to become the first one-size pocket nappy of the new range.
Once my woven labels arrive I will reveal the new label.

Since 2004, Bubba J has provided modern cloth nappies and accessories to hundreds of Australian families.

Our products are available through our stockists, including web based businesses to ensure availability across Australia.

For those new to modern cloth nappies, we recommend reading through the Cloth Nappy Advice pages as a good starting point.

Check out what customers have said about Bubba J Modern Cloth Nappies in the Testimonial section (coming soon).

Interested in becoming a retailer? We will start small wholesale from mid-2010 onwards and we will announce it when we are ready.
