Nappy libraries provide both online and face-to-face support. They give parents the opportunity to trial a variety of cloth nappy styles and brands before investing in the option that works for them. Run by volunteers, nappy libraries are a great place to go for advice and to chat with other parents who are using cloth nappies. Parents are asked to leave a refundable cash deposit which is returned once the nappies have been washed and returned to the nappy library for others to use.
