Introducing...Growing! Chloe from BarkaArts painted this stunning artwork to represent a child’s growth and journey through childhood. Each coloured circle represents a different stage in the child’s life. This is part of an exclusive collection in collaboration with One Little Sprout.
The Classic nappy is a trim-fitting pocket cloth nappy that is a firm favourite with new and experienced cloth users alike!
The Classic Nappy is most similar to a disposable nappy, both in terms of fit and use! But instead of throwing it in the bin, you put it aside to wash and reuse! ~Fits 3-17kg

Care
We recommend the following wash routine to get the best out of your nappies:
-
Step 1: Dry Pail - Roll poo into the toilet, separate inserts from the nappy shell and place in a "dry pail" (bucket with holes) for airflow
-
Step 2: Pre-Wash - After 1-2 days, short wash cycle (30-60 mins) on 40-60 degrees Celcius with 1/2 standard amount of detergent. Remove and put into a second dry pail (no need to dry)
-
Step 3: Main-Wash - After 2-3 days, do a long wash cycle (1-2 hours) on 40-60 degrees Celcius with normal amount of detergent
-
Step 4: Dry - Inserts can be put in dryer on high heat / line dry in the sun. Nappy shells need to be line-dry in shade or tumble-dry on low heat (to preserve waterproofing).
Warranty
With a suitable wash routine and a good amount of nappies in your stash, your Monarch nappies should last you 3-5 years (on average). At the minimum, we expect them to last at least 12 months from purchase date, so if there are any manufacturing defects with your products, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Please note that our warranty does not cover normal wear and tear or damage caused by overuse and improper wash routines. Find out more here.
