BIODEGRADABLE BABY WIPES

 

I’m really conscious that the products I use on Ripley have as little impact as possible on the planet. So I just wanted to do a quick shout out to Aqua Wipes which are 100% biodegradable, natural and plastic free.  I’ve used these since Rips was born and can’t recommend them enough. I totally appreciate that taking the eco route is sometimes more expensive but Ocado and Amazon regularly run promotions which means they work out cheaper than ocean polluting Water Wipes.

The Parisians really do know how to make everything look desirable. Even nappies.

Over the past couple of months, Ripley’s ‘nappy wardrobe’ has consisted of watermelons, penguins and whale prints courtesy of Joone Paris.  I never thought I’d use the words chic and stylish to describe a nappy but that’s exactly what Joone are offering.

 

The Recyclable Moses Basket

My sister says it looks like a giant Croc.
My mum thought it was a stylish laundry carrier.

I'm talking about Ripley's moses basket.

The Eco Nappy Disposal System

A lot of friends have advised me that a nappy disposal bin is an indispensable and practical solution for eliminating nasty odours that come with the wonderfully artistic duty of nappy changing.

I am totally up for the house not smelling like a sh*t show so was obviously interested.

My issue was finding a system that comes with the option of using biodegradable refill cartridges (aka bags) to accommodate eco-friendly nappies.
After all, there's no point disposing something degradable if you're gonna pack it up in plastic.
I did a fair bit of hunting around and found a product that provides this service...

Lexy Pexy Pretzel

Carbs have been a regular fixture throughout my pregnancy.  So, it seems kinda fitting that baby's teether is the shape of a giant pretzel.  

The Sullivan pretzel is made by NYC based brand Lexy Pexy, creators of eco chic toys crafted from all-natural, eco-friendly materials.

The smooth maple wood is antibacterial and non-splintering.

But you have to check out the main Lexy Pexy website to view their full offering.  I’m talking teethers in the shape of Chanel handbags and cold pressed juice bottles – yes, seriously.
