SUSTAINABLE FAMILIES   Reusable products for environmentally responsible families

We are a small home-based business committed to products which give families an opportunity to reduce their impact on our environment, a choice about caring for their health and the option of reducing their household costs.

For babies and infants we carry the Zappy Nappy range of fitted cloth nappies; Woollies pure wool damp-proof over-pants; and the Bubba Lugga carry sling. We also make soft washable all-cotton breastfeeding pads. For parents concerned about Conception or Contraception we have the Natural Fertiltiy Management Kits

Zappy Nappies The cloth nappy* system which offers comfort for baby while giving $$$ savings and convenience for parents "without costing the Earth". The system includes shaped 100% cotton nappies, extra liners, waterproof overpants and elastic extenders. Count the costs to buy the Zappy Nappies plus launder them for two and a half years? You will have spent about one fifth the average cost of disposable nappies per child! And that's before you consider the environmental costs of disposable nappies ? 1,500 kilograms of soiled waste per baby rotting away for up to 500 years at your local garbage land-fill site.... Zappy Nappies are designed by an Australian mother for her own children and their future on Earth. (*Note:- Read the word "diaper(s)" instead of the word "nappy(ies)" if you speak North American English)
Woollies THE WOOLLIES ARE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE- OUR APOLOGIES FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. Many parents are choosing to use cloth nappies* for their infants as the natural and environmentally-friendly alternative to disposable nappies/diapers. But when it comes to pilchers, we are still faced with some poor choices... Nylon and plastic over-pants do not allow air circulation and so trap moisture and heat, leaving your infant uncomfortable and prone to nappy rash... The fluffy synthetic type of pilcher have such poor absorbency that parents are faced with constant nappy changes, wet clothes and bedding...	But now there is another choice... Woollies...100% wool damp-proof nappy-pants.  Hand-made in Tasmania from selected recycled pure wool fabrics.
