Little & Brave Eco Nappies

Completely compostable nappies that are super soft and absorbent, love these! Snap wraps hold the nappy in place instead of plastic sticky tabs and come in cool designs. Recommend getting more than one snap wrap so you can have a spare when washing. These are great overnight if you’re using reusables during the day. Feels good to be doing something for the planet rather than sending more rubbish to landfill.

First of all, let me say that the nappies themselves are great. Very absorbent and the fact that they are 100% compostable is what drew me to the product in the first place. Unfortunately, the service from this business is bordering on diabolical. Order at your own risk, because the nappies may or may not ever arrive. I've had to chase them every time but emailing produces either a very very slow response or no response at all, and the phone number goes to voicemail. When they did respond one day, not all of my questions were addressed as I had enquired further about the composting facility, which, as mentioned in a previous review, seems to be permanently closed and defeats the object. I was informed that the pee nappies can be composted at home instead, and after some research (as I like to be as green as possible) realised that this would take a huge container followed by a lot of time and effort to maintain effectively. A luxury I'm sure most parents of babies and toddlers can't afford. The concept is fantastic as I have been unable to find any other nappies in NZ that are 100% biodegradable which is why I have ordered more than once, but with such terrible service and communication I feel I may have to stop bothering. A sad thing as the world needs more products like this.

Love the nappies, Love the ethos.Easy to use and comfortable for my little one.The only thing I'd like as an addition would be a way to keep the liners rolled up once they are used, but that is by no means a deal breaker :D

Ordered nappies in June but more than two months later no nappies or a refund delivered. Slow response to emails with promises of delivery soon, and the phone number message says to email. Frustrating experience all round unfortunately as the concept is great.

“As an Early Childhood Centre, when we realised the volume of nappies going into landfill on a weekly basis, we wanted to do something about this, so when Little & Brave were announced, the Directors jumped on board! Not only do we know that it is better for the environment, but we are also using less nappies overall as well. We also love the fact that our Centre is the local Community drop off point, which helps us connect to our community. Little & Brave not only provide an environmentally friendly nappy, but their service goes above and beyond expectations. My only wish is that every New Zealander gets on board so that we can provide a better world for our next generation and those to come” – Nikky Tauranga, Centre Manager, Country Bears Nature Childcare Centre, Kumeu

We’ve been using Little & Brave nappies for about six months now and have had such a great experience. The nappies themselves are great, we use them overnight (with cloth outer) and have had no issues. Then the customer service is also fantastic, going the extra mile with a human touch.

Unfortunately the nappies took months to arrive. Little and Brave were slow or non responsive to emails and weren’t willing to swap up to a bigger size. Disappointing as it would be able to be great to support a local business. Their composting site also seems to be permanently closed.

Because it’s circular economy and it matches our values, it’s worth trying out. We tried composting the wee nappy too and this worked well though we don’t add enough to our compost bin to be able to use this possibility fully. Quite difficult to get where to put the nappies when we come to the composting plant so would be good to put a sign on them. Now, these nappies were not the best for night time and when using them we would usually have to change the bedding. So unless your kid is already potty trained during the day, I would have a different kind for nighttime. Over all though, I would really recommend these nappies and the whole value of taking off from landfill whatever we can. In this day and age, you’re proving that this can be done, and you really need to receive the shout out you deserve.

5-stars for intention and saving the environment! Have used little and brave nappies and wipes since birth and love them. The effectiveness of the nappies themselves are all we’ve known so I don’t have much to compare them to. Huge fan of the wipes! At one point we used another brand as we hadn’t ordered in time and immediately got nappy rash, as soon as we switched back the nappy rash resolved itself. We are now onto the full blown pant cover which I can’t say is my favourite; it seems we ironically have more blow outs, which I think is in part due to the pull up feature getting in the way of securing them as effectively. Either way I think there is definitely potential for improvement regarding the design of the pants. The only other thing I’d like to add is how frustrating it is that the drop off locations keep changing. When you have a baby who doesn’t like the car and you’re on a mission to get things done, returning home with used nappies is not that much fun. Regardless of potential improvements, overall I really love little and brave because you’re helping the planet and are still relatively affordable. Thank you :)

Have been using Little & Brave nappies since they launched last year and I am in love with them and what they mean. I no longer feel guilty about using disposable nappies and there is zero waste with this product. EVERYTHING is composted. The nappy, the wipes, the bags you put the nappies in. There are no liners that need to be flushed or disposed of in other ways, nothing that needs to be washed. I have had no leak issues and have always found the company itself an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would recommend this product to anyone. You won't regret the change!
