Made with ultra-soft breathable materials, Mater Nappies are designed to keep babies dry overnight by drawing moisture away from skin. The handy wetness indicator turns blue when the needs changing. One parent said the breathable waist band helped clear up eczema around her son’s belly button caused by another nappy brand. ” Instantly his red tummy eased up and he was scratching a lot less,” she wrote. “I am completely converted to these nappies and buy in bulk.”
