We utilised results from our very own Mumsnet Rated testing, where each product is tested by at least 150 parents from the Mumsnet community. If the fastening tapes don’t reach the centre of the waistband, it’s time for a bigger size (if the tapes overlap, the nappy may be too big) With loads of options to choose from within the range - including nappy pants, a premium range with ‘dry fast’ technology and sizes from newborn right up to seven - this is a nappy that will suit all families, no matter what nappy-wearing stage your baby is at. Aldi nappies are great. We used the Premium ones for months with no issues"- recommended by Mumsnet user, 20viona

Sainsbury’s own brand is great. We were given some Pampers nappies but I didn’t like them as much as the supermarket-own brands we’d been using, so I definitely think you can save money without losing quality" - recommended by Mumsnet user, Odile13 We then weighed all of this up against the nappies’ costs and features to bring you a list that we hope will inspire your choices. N.B We've linked to a variety of nappy sizes in our round-up Beyond your baby reaching a weight that’s over what’s recommended for his or her current nappy size, here are some signs your baby might be ready for a different size nappy: When a nappy fits correctly, there should not be any leaks around the waist or through the leg holes. Manufacturer sizing will vary, however, so if a particular nappy brand isn’t working for you and you need a snugger fit, try a different one. How many disposable nappies does a baby use? For a nappy to fit correctly, there should be no leaks around the waist or through the leg holes. As your baby move up the sizes and becomes more, look for elasticated waistbands, strong tabs that don't come loose and secure leg cuffs.Dry Fit has efficient absorbency: up to 12 hours' protection. Then there are the nappy pants to pull up and tear off, with elasticated leg cuffs for leakage protection. All are well-priced.

Of course, we also love the eco-friendly qualities - vegan and cruelty-free - and Kit & Kin uses sustainable materials and protects an acre of rainforest for every 10 subscriptions, which make these a great disposable option (if you’re not ready for the leap of reusables).If the nappy size is just right, the tabs will fasten comfortably in the coloured area. If you need to move up a size, the tabs start to move to the white area. We used the size 1 and 2 of the Boots’ own, but weren't so keen on the size 3 as they don't have a wetness indicator and didn't feel quite as padded as the smaller sized ones. We switched over to Boots’ Little Stories Bamboo nappies and also really like them" - recommended by Mumsnet user, Winglessvulture Our verdict Boasting an Aldi Price Match, starting from 5p per nappy, Tesco's Fred & Flo is an excellent supermarket nappy option that our Mumsnetters rate (despite some online reviewers reporting leaks). Darina Hall - We take great care to make sure our nappies are just right for your little angel! They are made from a combination of materials that are all commonly used in nappies and rigorously tested for quality.

We've used Aldi's Mamia nappies from day one and never had a problem. DD is 14 months old now. Also me and DH have both worked in nurseries and had experience of every nappy going. We both agreed Mamia were the best for us" - recommended by Mumsnet user, meganm94 Our verdict Nappies generally come in sizes 0 to 6, fitting babies and toddlers of weights between 1kg and 16+kg. Nappies for younger babies often prioritise keeping your baby dry. As your baby starts to crawl and toddle, nappies are often labelled as ‘active’ and aim to prevent any leaks. If you want to go for a biodegradable option, Eco By Naty is great! But make sure you get the right size!" - recommended by Mumsnet user, gingerglitter4ever Our verdict Nappies come in sizes zero to six, fitting babies and toddlers of all weights between 1 kg and 16+kg.

You may need to go up a size if you notice red marks on your baby’s tummy or thighs when you remove the nappyAs much as bathtime can be fun – babies don’t need to be bathed every day as this can dry their skin out. You can watch a short video on how to bathe your little one safely here. We use a TotsBots nappy over a pair of Bambino Mio swim pants. Not sure if the double layer is necessary but it gives me peace of mind and has never leaked!" - recommended by Mumsnet user, Littlehouseinthebigcity Thanks to their secure, strong holding tape and soft, stretchable wings, they’re great for any little wrigglers as they stay comfortable and in place throughout the night.
