Inside the nappy

Four layers. One soft little bottom.

Scroll to lift each layer apart. From the skin outwards, this is what your baby wears.

Layer 1 · Next to skin

Cotton waffle

The face of every topper is soft cotton waffle. Its little squares let air move and pass wetness straight down to the moss, so the first thing your baby feels is cloth.

Against skin · 100% cotton

Layer 2 · The heart, hidden inside

The moss core

5–7g of New Zealand sphagnum moss (Besgrow AAA grade), cleaned and dried, wrapped in thick towelling inside the topper. Moss soaks up to twenty times its own weight. The towelling around it is cotton loops on a light 10% polyester base, which gives it the thickness to hold that wetness. It never touches skin.

Absorbs up to 20× its own weight

Layer 3 · The guard

The wool backing

Wool on the back of the topper. Its natural lanolin resists wetness while letting air move through, so the moss stays where it belongs.

Replaces the plastic in a regular nappy

Layer 4 · The shell

Linen inside, merino outside

Soft linen lines the shell against your baby’s skin, with a towelling strip hidden in the wet zone. Merino wool on the outside is breathable, naturally water-resistant, and warm in winter, cool in summer. Emerald press studs fine-tune the fit within each size.

Comes in Petite, Classic and Grand

Inside the nappy · The materials

Wool · Linen · Cotton · Moss

Four natural materials, and we can tell you exactly where each one sits in the nappy.

Merino wool

Ovis aries

The outside of every shell and the back of every topper. Fine, soft and naturally water-resistant.

  • Lanolin resists wetness
  • Breathes, so no sweaty bottoms
  • Shell outside, topper backing

Linen

Linum usitatissimum

Lines the inside of every shell. Cool, smooth, and softer with every wash.

  • Woven from European flax
  • Cool and breathable
  • Shell lining, next to skin

Cotton waffle

Gossypium

The face of every topper. Little squares that feel soft and let wetness pass straight to the moss.

  • 100% cotton
  • Soft and airy
  • Topper face, next to skin

Moss

Sphagnum

The heart of the nappy. Light, springy and remarkably thirsty.

  • Absorbs up to 20× its own weight
  • Gentle, slightly acidic, skin-friendly
  • NZ sphagnum, Besgrow AAA grade
  • 5–7g in every topper
Next to skin, only nature

What touches your baby, and what doesn't

Everything your baby feels is natural: linen inside the shell and cotton waffle on the topper. Hidden between the layers is the one thing that isn't fully natural: a thick towelling core of cotton loops on a light 10% polyester base.

We chose it on purpose. Pure-cotton towelling heavy enough to hold the moss's wetness is very hard to find, and this one keeps your baby dry. It never touches skin, and it's less than 5% of the fabric in every nappy by weight. We'd rather tell you exactly what's in your baby's nappy than call it "100% natural" when it isn't.
