Aims:
To allow parents to see, feel and try out a selection of real nappies for free. It has supported and will support nappy projects with their own goals - waste minimisation, informed choice, etc.

The Kit comes in 5 sizes ranging from new-born to 3 years. There is also a stock of children's nappies available and a stockof adult nappies is in the planning. Eco-Babes is happy to create child (and potentially adult) demo kits upon request.

Eco-babes took on an employee part-time to launder the kits in March 2002. Hopefully two more will be employed for the Huntingdon project and Eco-babes.

Monitoring:
Eco-babes compile weekly reports and the councils involved do yearly appraisals.

Environmental impact:
Eco-Babes use an eco-washer to minimise water consumption and a condenser dryer to draw out water from the nappies which is then used on the garden.
