Modern cloth nappies are a world away from the terry flatys and safety pins which needed to be boil washed years ago!
We've designed our range of Cheeky Doodoo bamboo cloth nappies in conjunction with the amazing Penny Broderick, who set up the UK Cloth Nappy Library scheme back in 2010.
Made from 80% Bamboo 20% pico cotton terry, our reusable bamboo nappies are designed to be poo-nami proof. They make fantastic overnight nappies too as they're ultra absorbent!
Super absorbent yet quick drying due to separate boosters which let you build absorbency without bulk based on YOUR baby. Simply add a fleece liner for the stay dry part against your babies skin, plus a waterproof wrap to complete the nappy.

Fitting Guide
All nappy yarns hold current Oeko-tex certification.
Why are Cheeky bamboo nappies coloured grey?
Why not? It didn't make sense to us that one of the most soiled things you will ever wash should be white! The dye used is of course formaldehyde free and certified safe to use.
Why are Cheeky Reusable Bamboo Nappies the best night cloth nappies?
Our nappies are the best night cloth nappies because the fabric makes them super absorbent but also slim fitting. Our nappy wraps are double gusseted too so they're leak and poonami proof! Plus you can boost the absorbency by adding extra bamboo inserts!

How do I deal with poo?
Firstly we like to recommend that you always use a liner in your nappy, whether it be a reusable stay dry liner or a disposable. You want to get as much of the poo off as possible before putting your nappy into the washing machine.
Reusable Liner Tip any solids into the toilet and either rinse the liner in the flush of the toilet (hang on to it!!), or have something handy to scrape any poo from the liner into the toilet. .
Disposable Liner Tip the poo into the toilet and bin the liner (be careful not to flush the liner as most are not flushable

Do I need to soak my cloth nappy before washing it?
No, we don't recommend soaking your cloth nappy before washing.
Instead we recommend dry pailing your nappies because fabrics in your nappies can become damaged if soaked in water for long periods of time and it may reduce the life of your nappy.
When dry pailing your nappies, ensure you do not leave any longer than 2 days before washing as pee & poo can damage the material in your nappies and cause 'balding' spots.
What is the best way to rinse or pre wash my nappies?
We recommend using The Strucket or similar to rinse and strain your nappies prior to putting them in your washing machine.
Just using plain water is fine, or you can use The Strucket to agitate the water and rinse off any remaining poo if you like.
Alternatively you can do a cold rinse cycle or quick wash in your washing machine. Do not use detergent or use a prewash cycle as a prewash cycle doesn't drain and remove the dirty water on every machine.
Likewise do not soak in harsh stain removers or bleach as this can damage the fibres in your nappy.
How do I wash my bamboo cloth nappy?
Ensure that you deal with the poo before you start! Read our blog post for full details on how to sanitise bamboo reusable nappies.
My nappies are new, where do I start?
We recommend that you prewash your nappies before use. If you run a full cycle with a little detergent twice before using this will enable your nappies to become more absorbent.
Reading our beginners guide to reusable nappies is a great place to start however!
