the brand story:

Proudly Australian owned and operated, Designer Bums was born out of a need for stylish and high-quality nappies that wouldn’t harm the environment. They feature exclusively commissioned genuine and limited-edition prints, and are more popular than ever. Demand for the eco-friendly nappies has grown so much that the products are now mindfully manufactured offshore in a small family-owned factory with premium quality materials that are sourced both locally & overseas. Designer Bums is a member of Sedex, one of the world’s leading ethical trade service providers, working to improve working conditions in global supply chains. Multi-award winning, these cloth nappies and accessories are trusted by thousands of families both in Australia and overseas.

care:

In order to keep your Designer Bums nappies free from damage, it is important that nappy outers are washed at a MAX temperature of 60 degrees Celsius (140F). The maximum recommended machine spin speed is 800RPM. LOW Tumble only on shells with caution as high heats can delaminate the PUL waterproof lining. High spins in the washing machine over 800RPM can damage elastic.

New Nappies only require a short rinse cycle with a small amount of detergent and when dry can be used. The premium custom-milled bamboo is so absorbent it works right away but will continue to increase in absorbency even more.

Before washing, gently unsnap all inserts and separate parts to avoid tearing fabrics - Genuine KAM snaps are very strong.
Dry Pail - Place any solids into the toilet and give shells and inserts a quick rinse under the laundry tap to dilute residue and then store nappies in a dry-pail between washes. This will prolong the lifespan of fabrics, and help to avoid mould, ammonia and waste build up in the nappies, plus limit smells. Do not leave longer than 2-3 days particularly in hot climates or Summer.
Pre-Rinse - Once you have a load ready to wash, run a short cycle prior to the main wash with a half amount of detergent. This helps to remove heavy soil and prohibit build-up. Using a cycle that drains the dirty water away before the main wash is best.
Main Wash - Wash nappies every second day using the FULL amount recommended of a good quality regular, sensitive or plant-based washing powder for your load size (without fabric softeners or bleaches). Simply run a 'heavy or long' (max 60 degrees) to get nappies thoroughly clean, sanitary, free of build-up and smelling fresh each wash. We recommend using double the amount for plant based detergents when washing nappies for best cleaning results.
Drying - Air dry or Low Tumble Dry ONLY for Shells - Use caution if tumble drying shells, high temperatures can delaminate the waterproof outer. Inserts can be dried at any temperature and are less ridged after a tumble dry.

end of life:

Bamboo inserts can be composted as they will biodegrade at end of life. Polyester shells should be taken to a textile recycling facility; Waterproof laminate will biodegrade naturally.
