Huggies size 6: 51g
Tesco own brand (Not value)size 5: 57g
Pampers I think size 5 from when before I had Lucas: 55g
Huggies size 4: 48g

I don't have digital scales though so these are only approx with my cheepy kitchen scales which only have 10g increments so a bit of guess work reading between the lines.

Thanks all. That should be enough to work out an average weight.

I've added the nappy count to the site title. It updates every day if someone adds a new ticker. It will eventually become the link to a better stats page where we hope to give some fuller information regarding exactly what effect that has on the environment and your pocket.

I wonder how fast it will get to a million?

I think a flyer / info sheet is a great idea.

I agree and I also think that the project managers that some councils have in place, running the schemes dont know enough themselves.


I have to disagree with the above! I attended an event the other day by our local council for real nappy week and the lady that was doing it knew nothing, me and another cloth mummy had to tell her and the other mums there about the different types of nappy and i also mentioned CNT alot! and gave her the web address!




Thats what i was saying :-?
