From our founders
"We started Cuddlies to make it easier for Aussie families to choose gentle, planet-kind care without the greenwashing."
Our Eco Mission
We’re on a mission to help Australian families make cleaner, safer, more sustainable choices without sacrificing quality or comfort.
What we prioritise:
✔ Biodegradable materials
✔ FSC-certified bamboo
✔ Non-toxic, fragrance-free, chlorine-free nappies
✔ 99% water bamboo wipes

Small Choices, Big Impact
Every year, over 2 billion nappies end up in Australian landfills. Most take centuries to decompose. With Cuddlies, you’re helping divert waste and create a cleaner future for your baby.
Every pack of Cuddlies is a little win for the planet. From our bamboo-based nappies and wipes to our tree-planting initiatives, we’re making it easier for parents to choose eco care without compromise. Because every nappy change should feel good - for your baby and the Earth.
Sustainability is a journey, not a checkbox. At Cuddlies, we’re committed to improving every step:
- Ethical supply-chain management
- Using FSC-certified material, helping protect forests for future generations
- Reducing shipping emissions
- Trialling compostable solutions
OUR PROMISE
For every Cuddlies Subscription Bundle sold, we plant a tree.
We care deeply about the planet and creating a business that gives back to nature. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that Cuddlies is supporting One Tree Planted initiatives in Australia.
So far, we’ve helped restore forests, protect biodiversity, and fight climate change – one eco-nappy at a time.
We’re honoured to support One Tree Planted, a non-profit organisation dedicated to reforestation.

The Eco Superstar Ingredient
Why Bamboo Is A Better Material for Nappies & Wipes?
Outrageously Soft
Bamboo is softer than other natural fabrics, like hemp or cotton. They are naturally porous, which helps with wicking moisture away from the baby’s skin, thereby making it the perfect choice for sensitive skin.
Insulating Properties
The thermal regulating capabilities of bamboo allows maximum air circulation to keep baby cooler in the summer, and warmer in the winter, providing ultimate comfort
Nature's most sustainable resource
Bamboo is naturally regenerative and is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world. The ecological impact of using bamboo versus cotton or other crops is nil. Bamboo requires 1/3 the amount of water to grow and harvest than cotton. It usually grows with no use of pesticides or herbicides making it the perfect eco material.
100% Biodegradable
One of the biggest advantages of using bamboo fiber is that it can be 100% biodegraded in soil by microorganisms and sunlight. Thus, reducing the pileups at landfills and their related environmental degradation. Furthermore, the decomposition process itself does not cause pollution.
Enriches Soil
Bamboo crops contribute to enriching the soil, while cotton crops drain and deplete it.
Antibacterial & Naturally Deodorising
Bamboo, naturally has the ability to withstand and kill bacteria via "bamboo kun". Products made from bamboo can retain those antimicrobial properties. These remarkable bamboo kun attributes continue on in the textile form, allowing bamboo textiles to be odor resistant.
