Bio-Baba has a strong environmental standing. They produce versatile cloth nappies that are both eco friendly and cost saving. Their nappies can be used for everyday, night time, swimming and potty training! This means parents don’t have to pay for separate waterproofs, swim nappies or potty training pants. The all-in-one design nappy, liner and waterproof makes for time saving nappy changes. It has a wide-band Velcro for a snug fit; smart-fit tabs which stop the Velcro picking up lint during washing; multi-padding with hemp for super absorbency and breathable fun-coloured outers. More conventional mums can choose the white option or otherwise they are available in blue, yellow, red, & pink. Use Bio-Baba for the following reasons:
SUPER ABSORBENT HEMP
The hemp used in the removable 'Booster Pad' does all the hard work of the nappy. So, instead of the waterproof doing the hard work (which it does in other cloth nappies), this pad absorbs all the wetness, wicking it away from babies skin. Hemp is recognized as one of the world's strongest natural fibres - the more you wash it - the more absorbent it becomes! It also has anti-bacterial qualities and uses no pesticides in its growth. As the hemp is so absorbent, it means that the Super-Slim Bio-Baba is not bulky and dries well.
SAVE MONEY
You will be saving a great deal of money - Considering that a baby will on average have 5,500 nappy changes, that equates to between R 12,000 and R 15,000. By using the Bio-Baba nappy you could easily save R10 000 (including water, electricity and detergent for washing).
PROTECT BABIES' HEALTH
There are numerous health issues: the first is the use of Sodium polyacrylate gel can absorb 100 times its weight in liquid and makes for a very absorbent nappy! However, it has been linked to Toxic Shock Syndrome in tampon use and is no longer used in their manufacture. It is still used in disposables. Also, the lack of padding in disposable nappies is considered a hazard when baby is learning to walk and falling on his/her bottom on a regular basis. Some paediatric specialists believe that the increase in hip dysplasia and other spinal injuries is related to the lack of padding and support provided by disposables. Extra padding in the Bio-Baba nappies reduces this risk.
SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT
If you have a baby in disposable nappies in your home, your household waste doubles! In 2 ½ years in disposable nappies a baby will have used 325kg of plastic; 20 trees worth of paper; produced 1 tonne of landfill space
Disposable nappies are one 0f the world's 3rd biggest waste contributor behind newspapers at No.1 and containers/packaging for food. Your household is no different... millions are thrown away annually in SA, 9 million a day in the UK and 20 billion a year in the US and Canada...they do not bio-degrade.
EXTREME COMFORT
The Bio-Baba nappy is extremely comfortable. You will simply not find a better cloth nappy; they have been specifically designed to wick moisture away from the babies' skin, meaning that even though the baby may have an extremely wet nappy, the baby itself is dry. Moreover, careful fabric choices such as soft 100% cotton, hemp with anti-bacterial qualities and breathable outers have been used to ensure maximum comfort.
FAST TRACK POTTY TRAINING
Children in real nappies toilet train, on average, around 6 months earlier than their peers in disposables: a child in real nappies knows when they are wet, and so makes the connection between bladder release and a wet nappy. It is this which is the vital first step in toilet training. Bio-Baba nappies are excellent nappies for potty training.
EMPLOYMENT FOR LOCALS
One of the biggest problems faced by South Africa today is a lack of employment. We often have highly skilled, highly educated people unable to find work. Bio-Baba nappies provide work for the communities of Grassy Park, Lotus River, Athlone and Mitchell's Plain. They are not cheap imports and are made with the finest quality South African fabrics.
