They’re About Doing What Works — Some of the Time
Reusable nappies have a bit of a reputation.
They’re often wrapped up in ideas of doing everything perfectly, having endless time, or committing 100% from day one. And if that’s the picture in your head, it’s no wonder they can feel overwhelming.
But here’s the truth:
Reusable nappies don’t have to be all or nothing.
They were never meant to be.
For many parents, reusable works best some of the time — and that still counts.
Maybe you use them:
-
at home, but not when you’re out
-
during the day, but not overnight
-
on maternity leave, but not once you’re back at work
-
with one child, but not another
Maybe nursery isn’t on board.
Maybe grandparents feel nervous.
Maybe disposable nappies are still part of the picture.
That doesn’t mean reusable “isn’t for you”.
It just means you’re parenting in real life.
Using cloth nappies occasionally can still:
-
reduce the number of disposables you use
-
save money over time
-
be gentler on sensitive skin
-
feel like a small win on busy days
And small wins matter.
At Green Cheeks, reusable nappies were designed around real families, not perfect routines. They were created by a parent who wanted to do something — even if it wasn’t everything.
There’s no checklist to pass.
No target to hit.
No judgement here.
If reusable nappies fit into your life full time — that’s brilliant.
If they fit occasionally — that’s brilliant too.
And if now isn’t the right time — that’s OK.
Reusable nappies aren’t about perfection.
They’re about doing what works — some of the time.
And that’s more than enough 💚

Reusable nappies don’t have to be all or nothing. If you’re just exploring, starting small — even with one nappy at home — can be a great place to begin.
