A British term for a washable cloth nappy — reusable fabric diapers as opposed to disposable ones. 'Real nappy' distinguishes cloth nappies from single-use disposables and is the preferred term in UK eco-parenting communities. The 'real' element implies the cloth version is more authentic or traditional, in contrast to disposables. Used in parenting forums, midwifery contexts, and environmental advocacy.
