- Bio-Babas are the most veratile cloth nappy on the market as they can be used for everyday nappies, night nappies, swim nappies AND potty training...no other nappy offers this multi-function.
- An all-in-one product, so no separate timewasting procedures when fitting ie. dealing with a liner, then the nappy and THEN the waterproof - with Bio-Baba it is all fitted, with a flip out flap to get rid of the 'good stuff' (my favourite feature by the way!) Also this means that there are no hidden costs. I have found that many people are misled when they are choosing a cloth nappy, thinking that Bio-Babas seem more expensive. In reality, the converse is true…very often you may be tempted to purchase another brand of cloth nappy as they appear cheaper…the nappy itself may be cheaper, but then you will ALSO have to buy booster pads AND waterproofs to make it effective! Don’t be conned into thinking that you only need a few waterproofs either as, in my experience, you really do need a new one for each nappy change since even the tiniest bit of poo or wee is not very nice to put on with a ‘new’ nappy.
- Bio-Babas have 'smart-fit tabs' which protect the Velcro duringwashing so that it does not pick up lint, which is a real problem inother cloth nappies as the Velcro no longer sticks properly after awhile.
- The hemp used in the Bio-Babas does all the hard work of the nappy.So, instead of the waterproof doing the hard work (which it does inother cloth nappies), this pad absorbs all the wetness, wicking itaway 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. This means that you do not need to change the nappy nearly as much as when you are using a normal cloth nappy as hemp really is super absorbent - ie. fewer nappies
- In other cloth nappies, the moisture is 'locked in' by a thick PVCwaterproof...Bio-Baba has a breathable PUL outer, making it cooler for baby and less likely that bacteria will grow and cause a nappy rash.

Why are Bio-Babas better than other cloth nappies?
10 Good Reasons to choose Bio-Baba Nappies
“MANKIND OWES TO THE CHILD THE BEST IT HAS TO GIVE”...
- OPENING WORDS TO THE UN DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD
1. Bio-Baba nappies are simply the best cloth nappy on the market – they are the only all-in-one nappies (nappy, liner and waterproof so no separate time-wasting procedures when fitting) which have 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 outers.
2. 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.
3. 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). Invest the saving of at least R 7,500 for your child's future. By the time he/she reaches 18 years of age this amount would be worth over R 60,000.00 even if invested conservatively.
4. 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.
5. The Environment – considering that each child has at least 5 500 nappy changes resulting in 350 million disposable nappies being thrown away in South Africa a year…by choosing an eco-friendly alternative you are consciously looking after the environment in our home country and making choices that are ensuring a future for your children....the Bio-Baba nappy is a 21st Century product for forward thinking parents.
6. We are our children’s teachers – Aristotle said “The habits we form from childhood make no small difference, but rather make all the difference”. You are sending a positive message to your children by teaching them to respect the planet and not to litter it with disposables that will take 500 years to decompose.
7. 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. The breathable outer also ensures that when baby needs to be changed – mum will know.
8.Toilet Training - children in real nappies DO 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.
9. Like all Acorn products, Bio-Baba nappies come in fun bright primary colours; Red, Blue and Yellow as well as a white. The best teaching moments are ones that aren’t planned – choosing a different colour nappy is a great way for toddlers to get to grips with their colours.
10. Employment – 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 Bonteheuwel. They are not cheap imports and are made with the finest quality South African fabrics.

A closer look at fitting a Bio-Baba…
Fold Super-Absorbent Hemp Booster Pad into the
‘Famous “V” Fold’.
Place the Hemp Booster in the nappy underneath the flip-out-flap…the primary function of the flap is to catch any poo which can then be easily flipped into the toilet and flushed before soaking. Folding the pad in this way means that the pad has double absorbency where the baby is weeing and then extra protection from leaks along the legs.
When using the Bio-Baba at night – make sure that you insert an extra Hemp Booster in the flap for extra absorbency…this will keep babies skin completely dry.
Always make sure that you fold the Smart-Fit Velcro tabs on themselves when removing the nappy in order to protect them from picking up lint.
Always flush solids down the toilet before soaking.· Bio-Baba nappies are so simple to use that once you get the hang of fitting them to your baby you won’t look back…you will also be doing your baby, your finances and the environment a huge favour.
· If you are privileged to have a washing machine (and domestic help) – there really is no reason not to include these fabulous nappies in your nappy routine.
