"By identifying those companies such as Totsbots who consider ethics
throughout their entire operation, the Ethical Consumer Best Buy Label
gives shoppers the confidence that they are making the best possible
ethical and environmental choice. The label is the definitive
endorsement for people who want to put principles at the top of their
shopping list."

Not all nappies are rubbish
As part of our zero waste policy we now offer a return to base service for any unwanted Tots nappies. If you have finished with your nappies and you don't have anyone to pass them on to or sell to, then you can send them back to us (clean please!) and we will forward them to orphanages in trouble spots around the world. Any donations will be gratefully received and please don't worry if they are shabby we will fix em up as best we can prior to sending.New for 2009
After 3 years of development, 2009 sees the launch of our latest nappy 'EasyFit'. A one piece, one size design which has a pocket to add additional absorbency if and when required. The nappy is made from lovely, soft, stretchy fabrics for a great fit and superior comfort for baby and is available in a bamboo fibre or fluffle version. The unique design gives the nappy exceptional performance and being one size from birth to potty saves a few extra pounds into the bargain - great news for anyone feeling the crunch of all that credit!Washable Nappies Are Best for the Environment
It's official. A new governmet report comparing the environmental impact of reusable versus disposable nappies has concluded that reusable nappies are up to 40% better for the environment than their disposable counterparts. The key finding of the report shows that the environmental benefits are achieved by following simple washing guidelines like:
- avoiding tumble drying nappies
- using A-rated appliances and
- washing in full loads at no more than 60 degrees
These are all measures we recommend and are commonly used by parents . The report highlights that unlike disposables, washable nappies put parents in control of the impact they have on the environment. Parents using real nappies will also be financially better off. It has long been known that real nappies save parents hundreds of pounds and now this advice on washing methods, which are supported and promoted by the Real Nappy Campaign, will help reduce fuel bills too.
