Hints and Tips for Using FunkyMates

  • Pilchers, plastic pants or a Nappy cover will need to be used. This will stop leaking - the size to buy for the covers will depend on how big your little one is.
  • Best used with FunkyMates Nappy Liners. However they work well without them depending on your routine.
  • When washing FunkyMates, fold the nappy together and secure using the Hook & Loop Fasteners in the top corners to eliminate the tabs from catching on other items being washed at the same time.
  • FunkyMates can also be dried not only on the clothes line in the sun, under the house but in the clothes drier as well. Great for those rainy and dark days.

Cloth Wipe Solution Recipes

You asked for it, listed are some Cloth Wipe Solution Recipes, I haven't used them, however many mums and dads have. FunkyMates take no responsibily for the following:

  • Almond 'n' Chamomile Steep the tea bags in the hot water then add the oil. 2 chamomile tea bags 2 teaspoons almond oil 2 cups hot water
  • Anti-Fungal Omit vinegar if baby has a raw rash. 1/4 cup white vinegar 1 tablespoon calendula oil A few drops lavender oil A few drops tea tree oil 1/4 cup 100% aloe vera gel 1 cup water
  • Anti-Fungal Too Similar to the other anti-fungal recipe, but less vinegar and water. 1 teaspoon white vinegar 1 tablespoon calendula oil A few drops lavender oil A few drops tea tree oil 1/4 cup 100% aloe vera gel 1/2 cup water
  • Basic Wipe Solution This basic recipe can be adapted by changing the type of soap or oil. 1/2 cup baby oil 1/2 cup baby wash 2 cups water
