Nappies no more
I’m running a massive clearance sale on cloth nappies at baby-bean.com, and I’m nearly out of stock. This is great, as it means I can actually get into my office, but also makes me feel quite sad. Cloth nappies were the first product I sold, and is what Baby Bean was all about at first, so the decision to stop stocking them was very hard. Holding stock of all the size/fabric/colour/fastening combinations was becoming really difficult, and supply issues meant that sometimes customers were left waiting weeks rather than days for their orders. Tots Bots are really pushing their business forward and doing a great job of increasing awareness of cloth nappies, but they are no longer able to service small retailers like me in the way I needed. So many sites have launched selling nappies since I started, that in business terms it’s a no-brainer to move on and focus on slings and other less saturated markets. But seeing my nappy shelves getting emptier and emptier still seems a shame.
