Why you should consider the fitted nappy style (even though it needs a separate cover)

So many times people have said to me that they think the 'fitted' style of modern cloth nappy (which needs a separate cover over the top) would be less convenient than a cloth nappy that has the waterproof layer built in. But fitted nappies are awesome due to their superior containment and the ability to boost the absorbency by a LOT: ... READ MORE

How to stuff a pocket cloth nappy

Pocket nappies are awesome - the absorbent insert can be separated from the waterproof shell for faster drying, they're easy to boost with extra absorbency, and once assembled are really easy for people who aren't family with modern cloth nappies to use, as everything is cleanly tucked away inside the nappy. But, fairly regularly, I meet parents who have crossed the pocket nappy style off their list of potential options because it seems like getting those inserts inside the pocket might be a bit...

How to replace the elastic on a fitted nappy

You don't have to be an amazing sewer to replace elastic on a nappy. In fact, for a nappy with encased elastic, you don't need to be able to sew more than a few stitches by hand! For a fitted nappy with sewn in elastic, though, while you will need a sewing machine, it's really not hard at all. Here, Vicki from Bubblebubs demonstrates how to replace the sewn in elastic in a fitted nappy like the Bubblebubs Bamboo Delight or Bam Bam fitted nappies. This will work for the Baby Beehinds fitted nappi... READ MORE

Happy Birthday Baby Beehinds Giveaway!

Baby Beehinds have been celebrating their 16th birthday this month and we're getting on board with a giveaway! Baby Beehinds is officially the longest continuous brand that we've had in our lineup at Darlings Downunder and were the first Australian cloth nappy brand we stocked. They came on board with us in June 2005 (with their Hemp Honey Fitted nappy - a handmade/WAHM nappy sewed by Davina at her own table) and we've stocked Baby Beehinds nappies ever since! To celebrate Baby Beehinds' birthda... READ MORE

Updated Shop Hours

This week there's been a change to our opening hours so we can also offer private appointments for those parents who need it. We're still open from 9:30am to 12:30pm all days except Tuesday and Sunday when we're closed all day. We are restricting the number of people in the shop at one time and washing hands/wiping surfaces between customers. Hand sanitiser is available. We also offer contactless pick up of orders. From 12:30pm to 3pm most days, we will have appointment slots available for... READ MORE

The best backup nappy to have in your stash

So you want to extend you cloth nappy stash, or want to keep some extras in the cupboard in case of emergency, or prepare for the zombie apocolypse (when there'll be plenty of time for washing nappies in between the screaming and the running, I'm sure). What's the best reusable nappy to buy and have on hand, just in case? Hands down, its a basic cotton terry towelling flat nappy. Though, for the love of Pete, step away from the pins - try a Snappi; they're awesome - and grab some modern style cl... READ MORE

Is the shop open? COVID-19 Update

Yes, the shop is open... for the time being. The website is always open and we're sending out orders every day as usual. You can still pick up your order from the shop - we'll even bring it out to your car! In the shop we're being very careful - washing our hands between customers, wiping surfaces and providing hand santitiser, and when possible we will only have one person/group in the shop at a time. If you would like to book an appointment to visit the shop either before or after opening hour... READ MORE
