The covers are a good option for nighttime use as they offer breath-ability and silky soft elastics. They have been designed to be used with the Mini Matters Any Time Fitted Nappies, for an ideal night-time solution. Features: One-size-fits-most Silky soft, brushed leg elastic casings that won’t chafe or irritate baby’s skin Double row snaps (horizontal and vertical) to adjust to your baby’s unique build Soft, fleecey inner with a hidden breathable waterproof film, giving you the softness and breath-ability of a fleece cover but with full waterproof protection. Why use reusable cloth nappies instead of disposable nappies? Because: Cloth made from natural fibres such as cotton, hemp or bamboo are breathable and free from chemicals found in disposables, i.e. healthier for your baby’s skin, leading to fewer rashes, skin irritations and tears It’s reusable, i.e. more cost-effective than disposables in the long run (do the maths how many disposable nappies a baby needs in total, compared to a few full-time reusable nappies in total) Because it’s reusable and biodegradable, it is more environmentally friendly (a disposable nappy takes 450 years to break down… do the maths on how many disposable nappies are trashed for a single baby… that’s a lot of single-use trash that literally takes centuries to decompose! A cloth nappy takes 6 months to decompose in a hot compost pile at home) Because Mini Matters cloth nappies are durable, popular and highly prized, it also has great resell value on the second-hand market for mums looking to save. Directions for use: On the bum (nighttime use): See the product images for illustration. Option 1: Use a fitted nappy as insert – fold the fitted nappy around baby and secure in place with a Snappi Option 2: Use a flat nappy as insert – fold the flat nappy in a triangle or pad-fold it, wrap around baby and secure in place with a Snappi Optionally add a booster (for extra absorbency) or a suedecloth liner (for easier cleaning of solids) Put the softshell cover on baby, adjusting the outside studs to fit your baby’s body size The cover is suitable for nighttime use, and should be replaced with another cover in the morning When it’s time for a nappy change, remove the insert, wipe down the cover if necessary and put it with the laundry stash Note: Recommended for nighttime use. Washing: Wash covers with your other cloth diapers in a normal machine cycle. Do not wash at temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, do not tumble dry. The use of bleach and other chemicals can damage the PU layer. Line dry out of direct sunlight. Bum cream: Cloth nappies are much healthier than disposables and will lead to fewer nappy rashes; however, it can still occur. Avoid using conventional bum creams, barrier creams or petroleum jellies. The artificial and non-biodegradable chemicals affect the absorbency of your nappy and can cause build­-up on the fibres, reducing the nappy’s efficiency.  Instead, use coconut oil (that is naturally anti-bacterial), or a cloth friendly product like Simply Bee Baby Bum Balm, if you feel the need to use something.
