What kind of nappies do you wholesale?
We offer 4 styles - OSFM (One Size Fits Most), Newborn, Large and Luxe.

What's the difference?
OSFM -  Pocket style with either bamboo or suede lining, comes with a 4-layer microfibre insert.  Fits approx 3.5kg - 18kg.
Large - Pocket style with a suede lining, comes with a 4-layer microfibre insert.  Fits approx 9kg - 25kg.
Newborn - All in one style with bamboo charcoal lining.  Fits up to approx 5kg.
Luxe - All in one style with 2 inserts - 4-layer hemp and 3-layer bamboo with a suede lining.  Fits approx 3.5kg - 18kg.

What kind of inserts do you have?
Our pocket nappies all come with a single 4 layer microfibre insert.  These are designed to go inside the pocket, and they shouldn't go directly against the skin as they can draw moisture away.  

We also sell bamboo (both OSFM and Large size) and hemp inserts separately if additional absorbency is needed.  These also fit inside the pockets, but can go against the skin if necessary.  Our recommendation is to put them inside the pocket with the microfibre on top, then bamboo, then hemp.

Where are the nappies designed and made?
We design the nappies here in New Zealand alongside our suppliers, selecting the fabrics, layout and domes that we want to stock for you.  The nappies are made in China.  

Why don't you make them in NZ?
Our goal with Bear & Moo is to encourage more Kiwi families to use cloth nappies, and we know that one of the biggest barriers to getting into it is the cost.  We wanted to design a product that was cute, funky, functional but also affordable.  That's why we outsource.  To bring you a product that we love, that we use on our own children, and that everyday Kiwi families can afford to purchase.

How many cloth nappies do I need to buy?
That all depends on how often you want your little one to wear cloth and how often you want to wash them!  Full time – we recommend around 20 nappies, but let’s be honest, if you can only afford to buy one, get one and that will start saving you money within 3 months.

Will it save me money?
Absolutely.  A disposable nappy averages about 45c.  Our nappies should last right through until your little one is toilet trained, and possibly for future children too, so within 3 months you’ll be saving yourself money.

How do I wash them?
Keep it simple!  Flush any number 2’s down the toilet, give them a quick rinse and then pop them into an empty bucket until washing day.  I would aim to wash every 2 – 3 days to avoid stains and smells.  Throw them in the machine on a warm cycle with whatever washing powder or liquid you use (I personally prefer Persil). Then add other clothes and small items and do a second wash with washing powder or liquid.  Dry on the line ideally, but the dryer on a low setting will work too.  Sunlight is perfect for getting out any last stains.  Don’t add any bleach or fabric softeners etc as they can damage the nappies.  Check out our guide to getting started with cloth nappies.

Do I have to deal with poo?
With any nappies (including disposables), poo should be going down the toilet.  It doesn’t mean you have to touch it!  If you’re finding it hard to get it down the toilet, buy a brush (and label it for nappies!) and use that to push it down to the loo.  But seriously, you’re a parent now … dealing with poo kinda comes with the territory!
