The Sandys XS hire kits cost:
£75 (single baby) + £50 deposit
On the return of the nappies the £50 deposit can either be refunded for used against a future order.
The Nappy Lady Sandys XS Hire Kit contains:
- 20 Sandys XS. This should allow you to wash every day and half to two days from birth.
- 5 XS/Small Wraps
You'll also need to buy:
- Paper Liners if you'd like to use them. (Bambinex liners fit the best.)
- Nappy Bucket/Nappy Mesh to store the used ones in.
Even with buying these additional items the cost of using the Sandys will work out less than you'd spend on disposables!
The Sandys hire period is for 3 Calender Months, but can be extended for an extra £10 per month if required. Your hire period starts from when your baby is born and the hire kit is usually sent out 2 -4 weeks before your due date. We know babies don't always arrive when they are meant to so if they do arrive earlier than this let us know and we'll try to get the kit out as soon as you notify us.
The Sandys Hire Kit will probably not be brand new but will be in a good, clean, sanitised and hygenic condition, washed at every return by The Nappy Lady.
We expect that returned Sandys will have been used and washed according to our guidelines but not damaged. We do expect some wear and tear of course. On the return of the nappies please do not worry if they are stained as this is common with newborn/breastfed poo. Stains are easily removed by drying them on the line (or even a window ledge) in the sun for a day or two and i'll be doing this on their return anyway. If any nappies are returned beyond use, the deposit or part of it may not be refunded to cover the cost of a replacement nappy.
The Sandys XS newborn nappies are ideal for the early weeks when standard size 1 nappies just seem a bit too big on a tiny newborn.
Sandys XS officially fit from 6-12lbs . At a RRP price of £8.99 per nappy this makes buying Sandys XS a luxury most people can't justify for a nappy that will only last a few months. However i think everybody should have the option of using newborn nappies which is why we offer a hire service. They are more absrobent than muslins and require no folding. Motherease is a well know and trusted brand sold by The Nappy lady for over 15 years so you're getting a quality nappy The Sandys secure with poppers at the side. They are shaped nappies so they offer excellent containment and no folding required.
Once hire kits are dispatched the hire fee will not be refunded in part or full in any circumstances other than in cases iof stillbirth. The deposit will be refunded in full on safe return of the hire kit.
