After four years in business, I've decided to stick to the one product I love making more than all the others - reusable swim nappies.  I want to be THE name for cloth swim nappies - for babies, toddlers, and older children with incontinence issues.

So that means I need a whole lotta money to get things off the ground.  I need insurance, advertising, an accountant to crunch all the numbers, and hey, while I'm at it, how about a cleaner to clean my house so I can do my work?  One day I might even outsource all the sewing, but for now let's just get the boring administrative stuff out of the way, shall we?

Here's a few ways that Little Para Pants cloth swim nappies will change your life.

1. Save heaps of money.  You know those disposable swim nappies that almost everyone uses?  They cost about a dollar each when you break it down.  My swim nappies cost $36 (for babies & toddlers) or $48 (for older children).  On the surface that does look like a lot of money, but think of it this way:  you can use that cloth swim nappy 36 times for the same price as 36 disposables.  Use it more than 36 times and you're actually saving money.

2. You pick exactly what you need.  Whether you need natural fabrics next to your child's skin, or prefer microfleece for easy cleaning, you can have it.

3. Your child will love wearing them!  A favourite cartoon character or favourite colour makes it all more fun.

4. Older kids with incontinence issues or disabilities can go swimming too - in a nappy custom made just for them.

5. They take up a lot less space in a suitcase or beach bag than disposable swim nappies!

If you donate to this project, you'll be doing a lot more than just helping me run a business.  You'll be helping kids all over Australia - even the world - go for a swim in a nappy made just for them, in their exact size.  Because everyone deserves to have fun in the water without worrying about embarassing accidents.
