*New* Charlie Banana "2-in-1"
one-size nappies
One-size nappy that can be used as a stay-dry
washable pocket nappy or with disposable soaker pads for added convenience.
Price from £14.99 including 2 washable inserts. Offer: £84.99
when you order a pack of 6 (a saving of £4.95).

We
are delighted to have the new Charlie Banana™ 2 in 1 one-size nappy
system at BabyKind, designed to give you more options for your nappying.
For everyday use they are a reliable reusable one-size pocket nappy system.
For times when you need more convenience they can be used with disposable
inserts.
Charlie Banana™ one-size nappies are adjustable
through altering the elastic setting at the legs. The elastic can be
pulled tight for small babies and gradually lengthened as baby grows,
through a series of numbered elastic settings tucked away inside the
nappy's fleece lining, giving excellent size versatility. Charlie Banana™
one-size nappies are made up of a pocket or
"shell" and removable absorbent
pads. The nappy shell is formed by a soft and stretchy waterproof outer
layer (PUL) and a soft fleece lining. The fleece lining goes next to
baby's skin and keeps baby's bottom comfy and dry.

The pocket formed by the fleece lining and waterproof outer layers
can then be stuffed with their absorbent microterry inserts/soaker pads
to absorb the wetness. The inserts can be completely removed and they
and the nappy "shell" are fully machine washable, making them
ideal for everyday use.
There are of course some times when using washable
nappies may be less convenient, such as when you are travelling, or
if you are leaving your baby with carers who are not experienced with
cloth nappies. At these times many parents consider using disposable
nappies to make life more convenient.
However,
with Charlie Banana™ there is no need to resort to disposable
nappies - simply switch to using disposable and fully biodegradable
pads inside the Charlie Banana nappy. Simply
lay the biodegradable nappy pad on top of the fleece of the nappy shell,
using the fleece flap at the front to hold it neatly in place, and use
it like a disposable nappy. You can reuse the outer shell with a disposable
pads several times if it is just wet, or until it is soiled. Unlike
disposable nappies the pads are not encased in plastic, so you can use
them in the knowledge that they won't still be around in landfill in
500 years!
*Please note, we will have the Charlie Banana™
disposable pads in stock by the end of November*
Sizing
Charlie Banana™ 2-in-1 one-size nappies are available in just
one size! They adjust by altering the leg elastic setting to fit from
birth to potty training for most babies.
*A multi-sized option also available*
If you like the idea of Charlie Banana™ but prefer a sized option
(i.e. nappies that do not require adjustment to different sizes, and
with which you buy larger sizes as your baby grows to ensure the best,
trimmest fit), Charlie Banana™ also have a sized option. Click

2-in-1 Sized nappies or for information on whether to choose
sized or one-size Charlie Banana™ nappies.

quick drying. Excellent adjustability and neat fit for a one-size nappy.

with this decision. Suitable for use with biodegradable disposable pads
when required. Disposable pads will be available at BabyKind shortly.
What else will I need?
No liners or waterproof wraps are needed with these nappies, though
you can use flushable liners if you wish to make removal of soilds easier.
Each nappy shell comes complete with two microterry inserts to suit
light or heavy wetters alike.
Suggested additional insert for night
time If required, hemp inserts from Green
Acre Design or Superbamboo
work well to make this nappy last all night.
Re-sale value New
to the UK so resale value unknown, but likely to be good.
