Herefordshire Nappy Library are a team of volunteers in Herefordshire offering free demonstrations and loans of different types of reusable and cloth nappies available, including many of the main brands. You can come and look at nappies, feel the texture, ask questions about them, look at the styles, and even borrow a kit with everything you need to try out cloth nappies, full or part time, before you decide anything. To book a demo or loan, contact your closest branch via our contact page. If you are not local to Herefordshire, have a look at the UK Cloth Nappy Libraries map near the top of the FAQ section. If you are a nursery or childcare setting, or a group, we can come to you, just contact your closest volunteer and we will arrange a suitable time and day with you. 

We can also provide information on the types of biodegradable or more eco-friendly disposable nappies available. Many parents don't want to put hundreds of nappies into landfill, but also don't feel ready to try reusable nappies, or don't want to use cloth nappies 100% of the time. "Eco" disposable nappies are a good solution to this problem and don't have to be too expensive. More and more companies are jumping on the eco-friendly band wagon, so prices are coming down and there is a lot more choice these days. We can tell you where to get them locally and what sort of prices you are looking at. 

We have hundreds of reusable nappies that we can loan out so that parents can trial different types of nappy and find what is best for them and their child. To try our nappies, please contact us, or click the "Find out more" button at the top of the page. 

We are always looking for more nappies for our library, so if you have any spare nappies that you no longer need we would love to hear from you. We are a free service and rely on donations, grants and volunteer funds to continue operating. 

Formally part of WHNAS from 2014, Herefordshire Nappy Library became independent in April 2019, covering the whole of Herefordshire. We are always keen to take on new volunteers. If you are interested in helping please contact us, thank you.
