This summer really put our nappies to the test. On the hottest days, our little one was constantly breaking out in heat rash with the brands we’d been using — red patches around the waist and legs, which made them restless and uncomfortable. We tried changing more often, adding creams, dressing lighter and nothing seemed to help for long.

That’s when we switched to Kit & Kin nappies, and the difference was night and day. Straight away, they felt softer, almost cloth-like, with no scratchy edges or stiffness. They fit snugly without digging in, and after a few days we realised the heat rash had disappeared. Even in the warm weather, our baby’s skin stayed cool, dry, and happy.

What we also love is that the comfort doesn’t come at the expense of the planet. Kit & Kin put real thought into sustainability. Their nappies use sustainably sourced materials like FSC-certified wood pulp and a sugarcane-based outer layer, and the packaging is completely recyclable. They’re made in a carbon-neutral factory too, which makes them one of the few truly eco-conscious options on the shelf.

It’s reassuring to know the brand is certified as a B Corp, which means they meet strict standards for ethics, transparency, and environmental performance. And they don’t just talk the talk — every pack sold helps protect rainforest through their partnership with the World Land Trust, and they support families through scholarships, healthcare, and even donations to UK baby banks. It feels good knowing that with every change, we’re making a small difference beyond our own home.

On the practical side, they perform brilliantly. We’ve had no leaks, even overnight, and the absorbency is excellent. The nappies seem to lock moisture away so our baby’s skin stays drier for longer, which no doubt helped prevent that dreaded heat rash too.

All in all, Kit & Kin nappies have become our go-to. They’ve kept our baby comfortable in the summer heat, they’re incredibly soft and gentle, and they align with the values we care about as parents. For us, they’ve taken the stress out of nappy changes and turned them into one less thing to worry about.
