If you are thinking of using real nappies, but aren't sure which type to buy or if they will suit your lifestyle, why not see if the Devon Real Nappy Partnership trial kit is available? Or pop into the nappucino to take a look at all of the different types of reusable nappies and also enjoy a cup of tea and a biscuit.  The nappucino is held at Totnes Methodist Church Hall, Fore Street, Totnes on the last Thursday of every month, from 10am to 12 noon.

There are two trial kits available for residents in the South Hams and Torbay areas.  The kits contain everything parents will need and are available for trial for one month - a variety of nappies and wraps in different shapes, styles and materials and a comprehensive guide on how to use, wash and care for the nappies.  A nappy advisor will give parents a demonstration and will be on hand to offer advice throughout the trial.  There is no obligation to buy once the trial has finished.

The use of the trial kit is completely free, although the real nappy advisor will keep a £50 holding cheque during the time that you have the trial kit.  The cheque will not be cashed and will be returned to you when the trial is over, following the return of the trial kit in reasonable condition.  General wear and tear of the products is expected, but you will be charged for replacements if items are missing from the kit or if they are badly damaged when returned.

For more information about the trial kit or to see if it's available please contact The Totnes Nappy Company on 07976 328480 or e-mail info@totnesnappycompany.co.uk
