Before its first use:
Pre-wash 3-4 times on a long cycle (2 hours each) with cold temperature, 30⁰C or 40⁰C, without softener. A small amount of detergent is needed only in the first pre-wash.
Washing:
Wash within 2-3 days after use.
- Exclusive breastfed babies (up to 6 months): poo is soluble in water and does not need to be removed from the nappy before washing.
- Once the baby starts eating solid food: discard solid poo in the toilet.
- Place the used nappy and insert in an airy basket without lid until it is washed. If you prefer to use a basket with a lid, we recommend adding 2 drops of tea tree oil onto a tiny piece of cotton to neutralise urine smell.
- Wash with your normal laundry: cold pre-wash (if soiled) + main wash at 40 ⁰C, 1200 rpm. Do not use softener, bleach vinegar, stain removers or laundry additives.
Wash occasionally at 60 ⁰C if:
- Your baby is sick, to ensure that bacteria and viruses are effectively killed.
- Your baby is using nappies from another household.
- The nappy is very very soiled.
Please note that most detergents available in supermarkets contain enzymes. Enzymes help removing protein stains by eating them, but in doing this they also eat some natural fabric fibers around the stain, such as the organic cotton. To prolong the lifetime of your nappies, we recommend using a non-enzymatic detergent (non bio).
Drying:
Line dry in low direct sunlight. Alternatively, tumble dry on a low temperature setting.

FAQ
1. How much can I save with Pico Tango reusable nappies?
Disposable nappies cost parents an average of €2,000 per child.
- A full set of 24 PICO TANGO reusable nappies (350 mL absortion)+ 24 removable boosters (200 – 250 mL absortion)= €569
- Washing at 60 ⁰C with pre-wash once a month* = 0.79€ per wash = 23.7 € over 2.5 years
- Water + electricity = 0.59€ per wash
- Detergent = €0.20 per wash
Using reusable nappies costs €592.70 over 2.5 years, equivalent to 3 times less than disposables. You save €1,400 in total.
*Considering that once a month nappies are washed separately from normal clothing (eg. if the baby is unwell).
Wash at 60⁰C, 0.14662 €/KWh (average domestic price of the 5 cheapest energy suppliers in Portugal on 23 October 2022), pre-washing plus main wash on a A++ washing machine with consumption of 1 KWh. For remaining washes, nappies are washed together with normal clothing at 40 ⁰C.
2. How many reusable nappies do I need?
The number of nappies needed depends on the baby’s changing needs, and your washing/drying routine. For an average of 6 changes per day, washing every 2-3 days and line drying, we recommend a stock of 24 nappies. If you wash more often or tumble dry, fewer nappies may be enough. Each nappy comes with an extra booster, which absorbs enough urine to be used at night for a 2.5 year old toddler. There is no need to buy extra inserts or boosters, unless you have a really heavy wetter.
3. Do I need separate absorbent pads?
No. Unless you have a really heavy wetter. Our nappies come with an extra booster, which absorbs enough urine (550 to 600 mL) to be used overnight on a toddler.
4. Can I use Pico Tango reusable nappies straight after birth?
Our nappy is designed to comfortably fit babies from 3 kg. At the smallest setting, the ultra-soft TENCEL™ layer goes all the way to the top edge of the nappy for a super comfortable tummy. The elastic absorbent fits around tiny legs for a runny poo barrier.
5. How long will my reusable nappies last?
Based on full-time use, following the recommended washing and drying routine, they are expected to last 2.5 years, or even longer. In that case you may use them on a second child or sell them second hand.
The lifetime of your nappies and boosters will depend on these important factors:
– Washing/drying frequency: This will depend on whether you are using them full-time or part-time, and how many nappies you have for rotation between washes.
The more nappies and boosters you have for rotation, the less washing they will be subject to. Washing more regularly is more hygienic; however the nappies will wear out sooner.
Spacing out the washing longer than 3 days will result in urine and faeces wearing down nappies. Nappies will be the most washed items in your home, going through hundreds of washes per year, especially if you have a smaller stock.
– Detergent used: Using enzyme based detergents with frequency will wear them out sooner.
– Drying routine: Line drying will extend the lifetime of the nappy, while tumble drying will wear them out sooner.

Fralda de excelente qualidade. Prática e inovadora, pois tem um design único. Padrões lindíssimos. Gostaria que o padrão snap snap fosse numa escala mais reduzida, para se verem bem os caranguejos, mas mesmo assim é um padrão maravilhoso.

I am yet to use the nappies however can rate the service and quality of product full stars! The constant communication was great for educating me as it’s my first reusable nappy purchase. Patient, friendly and very informative! Such speedy delivery to the UK too and I’ve been recommending to my new mums. I’ll look forward to using these beautiful nappies during my holiday in January!

Muitos parabéns pela vossa criação e inovação desta Fralda, comecei a usar no meu filho quando tinha 8 meses e é uma das favoritas, excelente absorção, excelente qualidade, não marca, confortável, ajuste muito bom, muito compacta e sem ser demasiado volumosa… tudo de bom. Adoramos os padrões, o facto de ser portuguesa e se reutilizar/ reciclar materiais.
Inês G. –
Fralda muito bem construída, com ajuste inteligente e tecidos de qualidade. Tem corrido muito bem à noite, por isso sem dúvida é a melhor AIO que tenho em termos de absorção. Outra coisa que gosto são os elástico das virilhas que não marcam a pele.
Neuza S. –
Pul e interior extremamente macios, ajuste muito intuitivo e é a primeira fralda que gosto de ver toda aberta em altura no meu filho. Padrões simplesmente lindos. Assenta que nem uma luva toda aberta em altura em bebé de quase 2 anos e aprox 13kg.

Tem bom ajuste e nao houve fugas até agora. Usámos várias vezes de dia e 2 vezes de noite e das duas vezes fica toda cheia até acima e nos lados e atrás sobra um nadinha de tecido que não chegou a molhar. Até agora usava ajustadas à noite ou 2 partes sempre com reforço de canhamo por baixo e digo, esta fralda aguentou o mesmo com menos volume. Um bocado carote, mesmo para uma tudo em um há mais baratas, mas considerando os materiais ecologicos e o resultado acho que vale muito a pena e recomendo.

Estamos a usar com o absorvente grande e gosto muito, sobretudo porque dura imenso tempo sem trocar. Da última vez o pai não lhe mudou a fralda umas 5 horas. Está aprovada cá em casa e parabéns pelos materias sustentáveis.
