Nappie Info
Being a mom of 2 kids, I was always unhappy about the disadvantages ofso-called cotton nappies. So I started designing a completely new one-size nappie system. We have put the focus on quality and easy handling—with all the love and care your baby needs.
This site provides information on…
- “one size Bendel nappies”—the nappie that grows with your child
- The difference
- Quality features
- Cost comparison
- Did you know…?
“one size Bendel nappie" in pure cotton for growth from 3,5 kg - 17 kg.
Why are the snaps in the center of the nappie?
- This ensures the perfect fit, even around the legs.
- The snaps do not impact on the stretch around the leg.
- The stretch around the leg fits every leg size.
- When the baby is crawling, the snaps cannot open on the belly of the baby.
- Absorbent layer covers the entire wetting zone: perfect absorbency that is of special importance for baby boys.
- Heat-resistant elastic band at the back and around the legs: zig zag sewing ensures perfect leakage protection, high elasticity for perfect fit.
- Additional fleece Velcro closure to set the right size for newborns
- Flexible Velcro closure for perfect fit around the waist
- Adjustable size (S, L, XL) with 3 sewn snaps in a row. Fast and easy adjustment
Important points that distinguish our nappies from others.
- 3 sewn snaps in a row in the center of baby`s belly: the nappie automatically fits every leg size, even if adjusted to the minimum size.
- Rolled nappie: If using the smallest size, a roll is formed. Laying the roll down: works as a remedy against hip dysplasia or DDH (recommended by midwives and pediatricians). In addition, this roll further improves absorbency in wetting zone, especially for baby boys.
- Absorbent layer covers the entire wetting zone: perfect absorbency that is of special importance for baby boys.
- Thin nappie cloth due to viscose absorbency layer in the center. (Viscose is much more absorbent than polyester and can therefore be just half as thick as polyester.)
- Elastic band around the leg: perfect leakage protection.
- Zig zag sewing on both sides: no loose cloth in the nappie that may cause wrinkles.
- Generous nappie size for easy fitting through the growing time.
- No plastic or metallic pieces to irritate by contact with baby´s skin.
Special Quality Features.
- nappie cloth made from 100% organic cotton (natural color or colored prints)
- nappies also available in 100% organic cotton (wetting zone and cover)
