Our Materials
Cover material: Heat bonded TPU
Why it’s great? This type of TPU has a higher resistance to heat and chemical damage, and it’s known for its durability so will last longer. Many cloth nappies are made with PUL fabrics which are fused with chemical glues, but our TPU manufacturing process is heat bonded and free from the use of solvent or chemical glues.
Cover inner material: Short pile synthetic micro-suede
Why it’s great? This fabric sits inside the nappy cover and is non-absorbent. This means that if you’re using your nappy ‘pocket’ style and baby does a wee, the liquid is wicked through this soft fabric into the absorbent core. This fabric mimics the same dry-feeling features of a disposable nappy, without any harsh bleaches or chemicals.
Absorbent insert material: Bamboo terry
Why it’s great? Bamboo terry is known for is fast absorption. It uptakes liquid much quicker than similar bamboo fleece fabrics. This means once your baby gains bladder control and wee’s become faster, leaking is reduced because this fabric can keep up with the flow. It’s also extremely soft and feels great against bubs’ skin.
Our Sizing
Our nappy offers multiple sizes in one. With the snap of a few buttons your nappy will easily resize as you need it. Our modern nappies are designed to fit tiny newborns up to busy toddlers and everything in between from approximately 3.5 to 16kg.
Why multi sizing is great?
A quality multi-sized cloth nappy will cost you less in the long run. As you may have experienced already, babies can outgrow clothing sizes in a matter of weeks! Knowing that you can adjust your nappy size when you need without having to purchase more is a very economical and helpful feature.

Here’s what some of our customers say about our nappies..
"Econaps not only has the most beautiful designs, they also have amazing absorbency. They fit my boys so well, the look adorable and it’s an Australian company. Can’t go wrong. These are by far my favourite nappies. I currently have 24 Econaps and 8 pea pods in my stash and I will be getting rid of the pea pods as soon as I can afford 12 more from Econaps. The customer service is also really helpful. I’m just completely obsessed with this brand and company. I will support them for as long as I’m using cloth nappies." - Hannah
Love the prints, the quality, the service. Choosing to try cloth nappies for our first baby was pretty overwhelming to begin, but we knew we wanted an eco-friendly option. EcoNaps made it easy with great videos and resources. Our bub loves them too and we feel great doing our part for the planet. Thanks EcoNaps! - Haley B
