Frequently Asked Questions

What are the cheapest nappies in Australia?

Aldi Mamia nappies are consistently the cheapest at around $0.19-0.25 per nappy. Babylove (available at Coles and Woolworths) is the next cheapest mid-range option. Huggies and Pampers are premium-priced but frequently go on half-price special — check our nappy deals page for current offers.

How many nappies does a baby use per day?

Newborns use 8-10 nappies per day. This decreases as babies grow: around 6-7 for sizes 2-3 and 5-6 for toddler sizes 4-6. The average baby uses approximately 6,000 nappies before toilet training.

How much do nappies cost per year in Australia?

Annual nappy costs in Australia range from around $700 (Aldi Mamia) to $2,500+ (premium brands like Huggies) depending on the brand and baby's size and age. Shopping half-price sales at Coles and Woolworths can significantly reduce costs on premium brands.
