Bed Protector. Sew several toweling nappies together to form a thick absorbent mattress pad. It is useful if your child is still wetting the bed

Compress. If you are suffering from aching muscles then a compress may well be in order. Nappies make excellent compresses for both hot or cold applications. Great for your bruises or strains.

Cover. If your hot water bottle is a little on the hot side then wrap it in a toweling nappy to protect your skin

Car Waxer. Use a washable diaper to apply and then buff wax on your bodywork

Drip Catcher. If you are suffering from a drippy ceiling put disposable diapers under the drip. They are really absorbent and are a great alternative to the drip drip noise of pans and buckets
