Price remains an important factor for families when it comes to choosing baby products. So what is the price difference of disposable nappies vs cloth nappies? We’ve whipped out the calculator to do the math. In short, cloth nappies will save you hundreds of dollars over the course of bubs’ nappy wearing years.
Your baby will go through approx. 2,200 nappies in their first year of life alone (wild right?!). If you use disposable nappies until your baby toilet trains (around two and a half years old), you’re looking at spending at least $1085 on the cheapest disposable nappies for those first 2.5 years.
Cloth nappies on the other hand are reusable, so once you buy your stash you’ve got them for bubs’ entire nappy wearing life. Most families who use cloth nappies full-time will have around 18-24 nappies in their stash. So let’s assume you purchase 20 reusable cloth nappies, this will cost you $559 upfront. Cloth nappies are easily the most cost effective in the long run.
