Welcome to the nappy library
There is such a wide range of nappies and related products available, it can be quite overwhelming at first. We help you choose the right ones for your baby's needs. The kit can be borrowed for as long as required, until you feel confident to buy your own.
​
We are happy to come out for a demonstration or to help with a kit you've already hired from us.
​
If you have any questions at all or would like to hire a kit, send us an email.
The Nappy Library needs more people in order to be available to the mums and dads (and their babies, of course) of Overton. Click below to email the current volunteers to hear more about what is needed.

They are available to borrow for as long as you need,with no hire fee, just a deposit which can be paid in installments. All we ask if you return them to us once you no longer need them, so we can pass on to another family. We have flexible payment plans and a variety of ways to help people buy their own nappies at a discount.
REUSEABLE WIPES​
We have kits of wipes with boxes for storage and wet bags for using out and about. Super easy, effective and kind to skin - just add to any wash.
Hire for just £5
Kits require a £25 deposit. Please contact us to discuss options if needed.
A grant from Hampshire County Council enabled us to buy a range of kits to hire out, initially to families in Overton and surrounding villages. We then merged with Basingstoke Nappy Library so we could reach more parents and now we help families from across North Hampshire. Hampshire County Council also offer a discount scheme for people wanting to buy reusable nappies - for more information CLICK HERE
