BECAUSE BABIES HAVE HEARTS TOO!

“Every year, in the UK, thousands of babies are born with congenital heart disease. This
was brought home to us when our youngest son was born with a serious heart condition
that required life saving surgery when he was only two days old. As you can see from the
picture you really wouldn’t know of his condition from looking at him. We owe a great deal
of gratitude to the British Heart Foundation who continue to fund pioneering research into BECAUSE BABIES
congenital heart disease, helping heart specialists save babies lives. This is a charity that is
very close to our hearts (literally) and we pledge to donate 1% of our annual sales to help
HAVE HEARTS TOO!
towards further research into congenital heart disease and care for the families affected.” TotsBots are raising funds for

nappies are made from the fluffiest, super
absorbent fabrics which are beautifully
soft and kind to your baby’s skin. Easy to
use (no excuses for daddy!), the award-
winning shaped design fits snugly and the
elasticated legs and waist means no leaks.
They’re cute too – in addition to traditional
white and unbleached, they come in a
fantastic range of rainbow colours with
waterproof wraps in funky designs.
Make sure your baby not only has the
softest bottom but the best dressed
bottom in town!

NAPPY

+ Shaped like a disposable

WRAP
The waterproof bit
+ Worn over the nappy, keeps wetness
in but allows skin to breathe
+ It doesn’t need to be changed with
every nappy change as the nappy is
designed to contain everything
+ Being separate means the nappy
will dry a lot quicker
Inside the nappy, we recommend using:
LINER
Catches the poo
Available as washable fleece, which acts as a one-
way barrier and helps to keep your baby’s bottom
dry, or biodegradable if you want the convenience
of a liner you can flush down the loo.
You might also want to consider using:
BOOSTER
Holds more liquid
A booster is a pad made from layers of fabric.
All TotsBots nappies have an integral booster
which folds out to help reduce drying time.
Extra boosters can also be placed between
the nappy and the liner to further increase
the amount of wetness the nappy can hold –
good for heavy wetters and night-time use.

Used with any of our nappies, these lovely soft fleece wraps
are ideal for night time or warm summer days (if we get a
summer that is!). Fleece is water-repellent whilst being very
breathable. It allows excellent airflow so wetness from the
nappy inside evaporates, helping to keep your baby cooler
and drier. A good choice for babies with sensitive skin.

Caring for your TotsBots
+ There’s no need to soak your nappies. Simply put them in your nappy bucket
until it is time to wash. To make life even easier you can use a laundry mesh
to line the bucket. You can then transfer all the nappies in the mesh bag to
the machine.
+ Don’t use fabric softeners as they leave a residue which will decrease
the absorbency of the nappies.
+ Nappies and wraps should be washed at 60º in non-biological powder/liquid
(a couple of tablespoons is enough). Six nappies is not going to fill your
machine so give them a rinse and simply add along with your normal laundry
or on a half load wash if washing separately.
+ Don’t use bleach or any other harsh stain remover. This can shorten the life
of your nappies and those nasty chemicals are bad for the environment.
