This test kit is designed for mothers and their babies to get familiar with the nappy system without having to
invest in the complete kit. You can of course also buy separate items. The bamboo nappy test kit comes in two sizes (size 1 and 2).
How does the Bambinex system work ?
The basic item is a supersoft high absorbing bamboo viscose nappy with a handy velcro fastener. You fit a booster pad into the nappy for extra absorption and protection. On top of the booster pad comes a cellulose paper liner sheet that is the first layer absorbing fluid and solid parts and that you can flush down the toilet or put on the compost heap. A breathing microporous outer wrap again with easy velcro system surrounds this whole. During the day the nappy and a cellulose paper liner sheet can be sufficient. As the baby grows you will learn to play with the system.
What's so special about this Bambinex nappy system ?
1) bamboo viscose feels very soft and comfortable and absorbs up to 70% more than cotton;
2) your baby becomes 3 to 6 months faster toilet trained, because throwaway diapers keep babies too long too
comfortably dry thus not stimulating them to become neat and tidy;
3) at least in Belgium you can save up to € 600 per child (click here to see a cost calculation by IMOG, beit in
Dutch on page 2); many towns (click here for an overview of flemish towns) grant premiums for this nappy system,
that can cover up to 50% of the purchasing cost;
4) it is much more environment friendly than throwaway diapers : from birth to toilet trainedness, a baby on average
consumes between 1.1 and 1.4 tonnes of diaper waste that is not separately collected and is full of chemicals; this
is why Belgium and the UK encourage trough premiums young mothers to chose for reusable diaper systems; bamboo as a
raw material is a far better option than traditional cotton or purely synthetic alternatives.
