Last updated: 12 April 2018

We want disposable nappies to be comfortable for our babies and gentle on their skin, but most importantly we want them to be absorbent and to avoid leakages. Our nappies buying guide will help you work out what to look for, and how we test explains our testing rigour.

  • Did you know CHOICE tests more than just nappies? Check out our top 50 reviews

Need to know: Only products of each type (newborn, infant or crawler) can be directly compared with one another, so use our filter tool to sort by type.

Our test results will tell you which nappies:

  • quickly absorb liquid
  • leaked during our test
  • stay damp at the surface
  • have a strong velcro fastening to keep them secure.

Our interactive tool helps you sort by price per nappy, and our Recommended list will quickly tell you which brands came out on top.

Status

A Similar model is identical in most aspects except for a few. This means that a majority of its test results are identical so you can reasonably expect to get the same results from the model we tested, but for those aspects which aren't identical, we'll note these as "Not Tested" in the Compare tables.

A Tested model refers to a model that is still current and available in the Australian market. You should be able to order this model through your local retailer, or find it online.

These models can't be found in retailers or online or are no longer manufactured. You may still find these models on second hand websites, or in second hand dealers. Test methods may change over time, so criteria which can't be directly compared will contain an N/A. 

An Identical model is exactly that. Performance characteristics will be identical and the only difference will be something trivial such as colour, which won't have an impact on performance.

These are models we haven't yet tested but that are available.
