9 Best Disposable Nappies UK 2024 | Pampers, Huggies, and More

These award-winning nappies have created quite a buzz for their low price and high quality. Mamia nappies have been thoroughly tested for allergies and are ideal for sensitive newborn skin. The inner layer design means liquids are absorbed quickly to prevent nappy rash and keep the baby comfortable. They also come with a wetness indicator letting you know when to change your baby.

We noted Mamia’s effectiveness at preventing leaks when compared to other brands. We also love the price and high performance of these nappies, making them our top recommendation for parents of newborns.

These nappies get their name from the fun and cute patterns printed on them. They’re designed to give you something to talk about with your baby while changing them. They are also friendlier to the environment being made from biodegradable wood pulp.

We adore the superior softness and comfort of these nappies plus their ability to reduce nappy rash through using natural materials. On the other hand, when the fit was less than optimum, leaks could be a problem with these nappies. Apart from that, a highly recommended nappy.

Swedish brand Naty produces Eco nappies that are biodegradable and made without fragrance, chlorine and latex. The packaging and core are both made with sustainably sourced European woods. The nappies are also free from oil-based polymers.

We like the natural, plastic-free scent and the powerful absorbency. The natural materials help reduce the risk of nappy rash and allergic reactions. They are so natural that with a bit of trimming they can even be composted in the garden!

These Kit & Kin nappies are made with natural pulp from sustainable forests. The natural materials and minimal chemicals mean they are perfect for sensitive skin and minimizing environmental impact. Portions of the profits go towards protecting rainforests and supporting community projects via charity the World Land Trust.

Kit & Kin’s comfortable materials are particularly good for baby's comfort and the nappies are very effective in preventing leaks. A great choice for parents that want a comfortable, active and biodegradable nappy.

Bamaboo nappies are made from bamboo fibres. The natural materials immunise the risk of nappy rash and provide a soft layer for extra comfort and dryness. Parents remarked that the nappies were considerably softer than other biodegradable nappies. The natural fibres also mean that Bamaboos are more breathable. 

The nappies have a great design that prevents leaks and nappy rash significantly. They come highly recommended for parents wanting a hygienic, eco-friendly nappy or for those who mostly use reusable but need a convenient back-up. The higher price, however, could understandably discourage some parents.

For older babies, the Pampers Pure Protection pants type are highly recommended. To protect sensitive skin, they are made with cotton and other carefully selected materials to provide up to 12 hours of protection. Parents mentioned the good fit and leak prevention in these nappies, as well as the high quantity of natural materials to prevent nappy rash. The nappies are chlorine-free. They are slightly more eco-friendly, as with a bit of clipping after use, you could compost them in your garden.

Other selling points were the nappy’s comfortable feel and good absorbency for overnight use. Some parents of ‘chunkier’ babies might find the nappies a little tight around the leg area, so you may want to try a sample pack on your child before buying in bulk. Otherwise a highly recommended nappy.

Some of the best parenting moments can be those first swimming experiences together. For that, you will need a nappy that can prevent leaks but doesn’t get soaked through by pool water. Swimming nappies are specially designed to be thin and flexible, while also protecting your baby. On top of this, you’ll need a special rubber swimming nappy to go over the disposable and provide that extra protection.

If you’re taking your baby swimming then we recommend Huggies Little Swimmers. They fit snugly and come in a variety of sizes depending on your baby’s age and weight. They have stretchy sides to allow the baby to move around in the water. We recommend Huggies Little Swimmers for their ability to hold in poo, perhaps every swimming parent's greatest fear.

These PETA certified nappies are made with pulp sourced from sustainable forests. They have no latex, perfume, chlorine or other chemicals that might provoke an allergic reaction. They are a great choice and recommended for babies with extra sensitive skin.

The nappies provide good protection, absorbency and comfort. If you’re looking for a nappy that is exceptionally friendly to baby’s skin, then this is an excellent choice.

Pampers Baby Dry are for overnight use and active babies. They provide a secure fit and have extra microbeads to soak up waste. The extra absorbency means more time for mum and dad to sleep through the night, and they are easy to take off and extra good at preventing leaks.

These nappies are also recommended for parents of babies with extra-sensitive skin and conditions such as eczema. The extra drying power helps prevent serious flare-ups and irritation. They are a great choice to keep your baby drier for longer.
