Eco E v ie
Eco Evie is very conscious of her impact on the world, and also the impact of the world on her
baby’s bottom. She chooses nappies that are made of eco-friendly materials, and is careful only
to use natural fibres next to her baby’s skin. Her motivation may be a passion for protecting the
environment, or it may be driven by the needs of a baby with sensitive skin, whose bottom is
happier in cloth. New or pre-loved nappies are fine with Eco Evie, as long as the nappies are of
a good quality, and meet her eco-standards. She is willing to pay a little extra for organic. Cotton,
bamboo, hemp are her preferred fabrics rather than man-made fleece or microfibre.
Likely brands
Bummis, Blueberry or Bambino Mio prefolds, Grovia organic cotton hybrids, Little Lamb or Tots
Bots 2-part nappies.
Despite their many differences, the various species of Nappy Families have many things in common:
an inner glow from knowing that they are saving pennies and the planet (though possibly not
so much the former in the case of Annie Addict, unless she finds an even greater addict to sell
things on to at a profit), a fabulously wide vocabulary of technical terms (hybrid, aplix, all-in-2, strip
wash…) and the ability to glance furtively into another mum’s nappy bag to check out what she’s
using. Ooooh, you managed to get a Birthday Print Easy Fit….?
Ann Bruce is a Nappy Guru for The Nappy Gurus. This has enabled her to continue to carry
out research in the field of nappies long after her own munchkin learned to take herself to the
loo. She can be contacted by any species of Nappy Family at [email protected] or 015394
