Can you help? Do you have any cloth nappies (any type) that you don’t need? They can be used, but must be clean and in excellent condition. We've received a call out cloth for nappies from the Home of the Swallow - a home for mothers and babies - in Thailand.

The cloth nappy options available locally are very thin, poor quality fabrics, and disposable nappies are just not a long term option - they are too expensive and create other issues, so they're asking for our help.

The Home of the Swallow supports disadvantaged and single mothers who come from impoverished or abusive circumstances. Their vision is to reduce the number of children being abandoned, sold or forcibly given up for adoption.
Each year in Thailand, many women feel forced to relinquish their children because of lack of support from their family and society. Many feel they have bought shame to their family or that their parents would disown them because of their pregnancy. Others lack financial, emotional and physical support to care for their children on their own. The Home of the Swallow provides a safe place for these women.
At the Home of the Swallow they help the women to gain the independence needed to be able to care for themselves and their child by teaching them vocational, parenting & life skills, including financial management. They also provide counselling, spiritual and emotional support as well as all necessities such as food, housing and medical supplies. For those already on the path to independent living they provide safe, healthy, and affordable childcare for their children while they are at work.
Some students from Maranatha Christian School in Melbourne will be volunteering at the home in June, so will be able to take donated nappies with them directly to the Home of the Swallow.

Please email us if you'd like to donate some nappies, and we will let you know the address (in Melbourne) the donations need to be sent to.

Every donated nappy is appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

The combined international Great Cloth Diaper Change events are already on their way to attempt to break last year’s Guinness World Record™ of 8,251 cloth nappies changed at one time at 189 locations in eleven (11) countries. This is the first time Melbourne is participating and we must have a minimum of 25 participants in order to count towards breaking the current world record.

Not in Melbourne? See if there's a Great Cloth Diaper Change near you here (please note that not all events are finalised yet).

Guidelines for participation:
Child whose nappy will be changed must be 39 inches (99.1cm) or shorter.
Each child must be accompanied by an adult (one adult cannot change two or more children, each child must have a dedicated nappy changer!)
Each child must be changed into a cloth, reusable nappy that can be purchased online or at a shop. It does not matter what type of nappy a child arrives in.
At the start signal, all participants must remove their child’s nappy and properly put on a 100% reusable cloth nappy (there's no time limit; it's not a race!).
An official record photo will be taken before the change and after the change. No photos or videos are permitted to take place during the change. Photos and videos will be taken at other times during the event.

Note this date in your diaries, preregister online and like the GCDC Australia Facebook Page to be kept up to date.
For more information, see the Great Cloth Diaper Change website.

We welcome RAWr Nappies to Darlings Downunder!


We've been on the lookout for a great night nappy to join our line up for a while now. We like to offer our customers options so they can choose what suits their circumstances best and, while we love fitted nappies and covers for nights, we also know that some of you prefer a nappy with a built in waterproof layer. We also wanted a night nappy that could fit those larger or older children who still needed a night nappy, but had grown out of regular cloth nappy sizes.

We kept hearing RAWr nappies mentioned as one to consider, and then our own sister (who had added some RAWr nappies to her stash) joined the chorus!

RAWr nappies aren't just night nappies, of course. The RAWr Stuff n Snap Night Nappy Pack comes with a nappy that can be used during the day, and nighttime boosting that turns a great day nappy into a super absorbent night nappy.

Here's what Libby says about her experience with the RAWr Stuff n Snap Night Nappy Pack:

Finding a nappy that is the best for night time use can be a daunting, especially when your child is a heavy wetter and a tummy sleeper. I had been using some fitted nappies with covers but always managed to get leaks. No matter how carefully I put on the nappy and cover it always seemed to wick and my son's PJ pants would end up completely saturated which, of course, meant he would wake up and cry because he was uncomfortable. I had almost given up and was using disposables most nights so I wouldn't have to get up in the middle of the night to change my son - but the disposables were starting to leak too!

Was it too much to ask for a nappy that I didn't need a cover for, that wouldn't leak and that was cute and fluffy? Preferable an Australian nappy brand too! (OK, I could do without the cute and fluffy so long as it did the job, but it would be a nice bonus!)

I came across the RAWr nappies designed by Tasmanian mums Erin and Anna while searching for the perfect night time fluff. I admit I was sceptical but ordered one out of desperation.
The RAWr Night Nappy Pack comes with a Stuff n Snap nappy in a beautiful soft minky with bamboo velour inner and built in microfibre (and a pocket!), a contour bamboo booster and a thirsty bamboo trifold (you can use this nappy during the day by just using the smaller contour booster). It is also quite trim.

This RAWr Stuff n Snap Night Nappy was the answer to a good night's sleep for us. When my son woke in the morning, I noticed that he was dry. I thought it was some kind of fluke and maybe he was holding in his wee. I changed his nappy - the RAWr nappy was so heavy, it was clear that it had lived up its reputation of being extremely absorbent. After trialing the nappy a few more times I knew I didn't need to look for the perfect night nappy anymore - I had found it. I promptly ordered more.

I have been using RAWr nappies for a few months now and have not encountered one problem with them. I can't fault them at all. This nappy ticks all the right boxes.

Here my son in a RAWr night nappy at 12 months and 9.3kg. He's wearing a size large (fits 11-20kg) on the tightest setting. He's only gone into this size very recently (he has chubby thighs) and they'll last till he's out of nappies. I have some in the medium size (fits 6-14kg) as well, which fit perfectly and will fit him for a good while yet.
