We’ve just started a fresh new year and if “saving money” is one of your 2025 goals, and you haven’t made the switch to cloth yet… now is the time!
You’ve got this.
Cloth nappies can save parents over $1200 during their child’s time in nappies and one of the best ways to ensure you’ll stick with a financial goal is to envision what you’ll do with the savings.
$1200 in savings will look different for everyone, but it might translate to a family holiday, a few months worth of fuel, several weeks of groceries, a chunk off your mortgage or music and swimming lessons for your kids.
So, just as you would with any other financial goal, figure out what you’ll do with those “nappy savings”, write it down and keep it above your washing machine or at the change table to remind you of why you’re putting in that 10 minutes a day to wash and reuse nappies rather than throwing them away.
Obviously, starting with a full stash from the beginning will save you more in the long run, but if you can’t quite manage a full stash to start, just invest in half a dozen nappies and start there. After a few weeks of keeping aside the money you would have otherwise spent on disposables, you can invest in a few more cloth nappies, and keep going until you’re able to commit to full time reusable nappy use.
The great thing about starting cloth nappies in summer is that you can definitely get by on a few less as they’ll dry so quickly.
So what are you waiting for? Kick-start your new year financial goals with a cloth nappy journey that has so many benefits beyond just the bank balance!
