Real nappies - Time for a Change

Information on the Time for a Change nappy campaign, help with and how you can save money by using real nappies.


Time for a Change is the Derbyshire real nappy campaign to raise awareness of real nappies and to reduce the number of nappies that end up being sent to landfill.

Eight million disposable nappies are thrown away every day in the UK! This is not only bad for the environment but in Derbyshire this costs us around £1.2 million a year in disposal costs. Using real nappies not only saves us money but can save you money too.

£25 cash back deal

To help you to use real nappies we offer £25 cash back when spending over £50 on real nappies and covers.

The campaign is supported by the councils of Derbyshire, local real nappy retailers, advisors and agents, and healthcare professionals.

Find out more about real nappies and why they're so good for the environment in this short informational video.

Since the video was created advice is to no longer flush the liners as they degrade at a slower rate than toilet roll. Please dispose of these in your general waste. To reduce waste consider using washable liners.
