Description: Leicestershires Reusable Nappy Advisors are volunteers who promote the environmental and financial benefits of reusable nappies. Volunteers give expert advice to parents looking to try reusable nappies for the first time, as well as help and support to parents who encounter challenges when making the switch to reusable nappies. Real nappy advisors provide Leicestershire residents access to free nappy loan kits, so that parents can try a range of different types, brands and styles of reusable nappies before buying any - to ensure they get the right product for them and their child.

Why I love this solution: Disposable nappies are bad for the environment and expensive. Reusable nappies are a better alternative for many parents, although making the change can feel daunting. Its good to have the support of well trained, independent nappy advisors.
