How Much Are Nappies in the UK?

Compare cost per nappy by size and type — store brand, name brand, overnight — not the pack sticker alone.

Also for: US

Nappies are sold as a pack. The useful number is cost per nappy: pack price divided by count. Size and type decide that number — store brand, name brand, overnight — not the pack sticker alone.

These are example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. A store-brand mega-box at Tesco or Asda sits toward the bottom of a band; overnight and training pants sit on their own row. Pounds are GBP.

How much are nappies in the UK?

Example cost per nappy by size class and type. Always divide pack price by count. Overnight and training pants stay off the daytime rows.

Every pound in that table is an example, not a sourced 2026 street price. Count, club packs, and optional Amazon Subscribe and Save sit on top of the pack sticker.

Example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. Always divide pack price by count. Overnight / training pants stay off the daytime rows. GBP.

Paired size rows keep the store-brand vs name-brand gap visible. Overnight / training pants are their own row, not a daytime type.

Store brand vs name brand vs overnight

  • Store brand / value: Tesco, Asda, Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury's, Boots, and Amazon. Everyday daytime and the early-weeks floor.
  • Mainstream name brand: Pampers and Huggies-class. Same size class, a higher per-nappy number. Club and mega-box sizes pull that number down.
  • Overnight / training pants: nights and potty transition. Higher absorbency, its own row, off the daytime bands.

The class is size plus type. The pack sticker does not tell you which row you are on.

Count, subscriptions, and what moves the sticker

Count drops as the size goes up, so a Size 5 box and a Size 3 box at the same shelf price are not the same cost per nappy. Divide pack price by the count on the package, then compare that number across stores.

Club and mega-box sizes, store-brand vs name-brand, Tesco Clubcard, Nectar, Boots Parenting Club, and optional Amazon Subscribe and Save all move the pack sticker. Divide again after the discount. Confirm the size still fits before you commit to a giant box.

Who actually puts a cost per nappy on the shelf

  • Boots: the chemist aisle and Parenting Club. Advantage Card and baby-event weeks move the pack sticker; divide after the stack.
  • Sainsbury's: supermarket store-brand and name-brand sleeves. Nectar weeks change the pack sticker; divide after the stack.
  • Morrisons: the other supermarket aisle. House-brand and named packs sit on cost per nappy, not the box ticket.
  • Tesco, Asda, Ocado: the other grocery aisles. Compare the same size class and type the week you reorder.
  • Amazon, Mothercare, Aldi, Lidl: marketplace, specialist and discounters. Compare the unit, not the aisle banner.

Frequently asked questions

How much are nappies in the UK?

Example only: Newborn / Size 1 store brand often £0.10–£0.16; Newborn / Size 1 name brand £0.15–£0.22; Size 2–3 store brand £0.10–£0.18; Size 2–3 name brand £0.15–£0.24; Size 4–5 store brand or club mega-box £0.12–£0.20; Size 4–5 name brand £0.16–£0.26; Size 6+ £0.18–£0.32; overnight / training pants £0.25–£0.50+. Example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. Divide pack price by count.

Why isn't a pack one number?

Count drops as size goes up, and store brand, name brand, and overnight are different products. Two boxes at the same sticker are rarely the same cost per nappy.

What's the difference between store brand, name brand, and overnight?

Store brand / value is Tesco, Asda, Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury's, Boots, and Amazon for everyday daytime. Mainstream name brand is Pampers and Huggies-class. Overnight and training pants are nights and potty transition — they stay off the daytime rows.

Should I compare the pack price or the count?

Neither alone. Divide pack price by the count on the box. That is the number that travels across Boots, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Tesco, Asda, and Amazon.

What moves the sticker?

Count, club or mega-box size, store-brand vs name-brand, and optional Amazon Subscribe and Save, Tesco Clubcard, Nectar, or Boots Parenting Club stacks. Divide again after the discount. Confirm the size still fits before a giant box.

Are subscriptions cheaper?

Sometimes. Amazon Subscribe and Save and house-brand boxes can undercut a grocery sleeve. Compare the resulting cost per nappy against Tesco, Asda, Aldi, and Boots the same week.

Does Boots or Sainsbury's beat Morrisons on cost per nappy?

On a store-brand mega-box, often. On a name-brand sleeve, not always. Compare the same size class and type — store brand, name brand, or overnight — after you divide pack price by count.
