FunkyMates Nappies – Nappies needing Covers:
(Now with Elastic)
Features of the FunkyMates Nappies:
FunkyMates are an Australian Infant Nappy product that is making nappy use easier for parents alike. All FunkyMates products are handmade by myself. Now available with elastic in both legs & back!!!
FunkyMates come in a variety of sizes (some prints may only be available in certain sizes):
- Extra small (2-4.5kgs) - this size is more suited for the Premmie babies and only available via special order
- Small (3.5-9kgs)
- Medium (8-13kgs)
- Large (12-16kgs)
- Extra Large (15-28kgs)
The size you will need will vary from baby to baby depending on what weight he or she is. Any questions about sizing please ask. If your baby is 9kgs I would recommend purchasing the Medium so you will get more wear out of the Nappy.
They are also available in Plain White Terry Towelling or in the Funky Colours with the extra cover of Flannel.
What are FunkyMates Nappies made from?
FunkyMates Nappies are handmade in Australia & made from white double looped terry towelling, Flannel, absorbent incontinent material (Needled felt for incontinence pads with very high absorption & low washing shrinkage – 70% Polyester, 30% Viscose – 2.5mm thick - the material doesn’t break down), cotton and Hook & Loop Fasteners. Each may vary slightly in size as they are individually cut out & sewn.
FunkyMates have an internal pad sewn inside the nappy which helps to keep baby dry. The inside pad is made from 1 piece of double looped terry towelling plus 1 piece of absorbent incontinent material. The inside pad in the Large and Extra Large are made up of 2 pieces of absorbent incontinent material.
We are looking into "natural" materials eg; bamboo, mircofibre, etc which will be apart of our Premium & Night Time FunkyMates Range however time & available resources are holding us up. The price of these materials is quite high & we see our current FunkyMates Range as an economic option for those of us that are looking at a budget.
A Nappy Liner doesn't need to used, however it does add more to the Nappy by making it more absorbant and makes it easier to get rid of number 2's!
What are the Qualities of all or Products?
Easy to use, convenient, great value, Daddy resistant, Safe (no pins required for FunkyMates), machine washable & easy to clean, able to be dried in the clothes drier or on the washing line, reusable, breathable, good for any babies with skin problems (my eldest son had infant eczema), they are environmentally friendly, Australian designed & handmade and now have elastic in the legs.
Each Nappy has Hook & Loop Fasteners in the top corners to prevent the Hook & Loop Fasteners from catching on other items being washed at the same time & allows the Nappy to grow with your little one.
Will I need to Use Some sort of Cover?
Yes with the FunkyMates – Nappies needing Covers you will need some sort of cover will need to be used such as; Pilchers, Plastic Pants or Nappy covers. The pattern is designed for this very reason, that way the Nappy can be worn for longer and that your babies clothes won't get wet. We also have those avaliable.
When do I need to change My FunkyMates Nappy?
This does depend on your routine and like disposables babies don't sit in the same Nappy for the whole day! For example both of my children during their childhood where happy in their FunkyMates for the period of anywhere between 3-5 hours. This also depends on what they had been doing during the day. They where both able to sleep from 7pm to 6am without a change - once again with the use of some sort of Nappy Cover.
My eldest son had infant eczema; this meant we have to be vigilant. This is another reason I decided to make the FunkyMates Range.
Why does FunkyMates have two sorts of Nappies?
The main reason is that it gives our customers the choice of which Nappy they wish to use. Some people simply don't like the idea of having a cover or using plastic pants. By having two types of Nappies we are able to give our customers the freedom of choice.
All FunkyMates Nappies can be purchased individually or as a bulk order. We also have generous Lay-By terms available.
