Awards
With fun designs and a great track record for preventing leaks, it's easy to see why these Mamia nappies won Silver in the Mother&Baby Awards 2025 for Best Performance Disposable Nappy. Our testers thought...
Testing
Parents were pleasantly surprised by the performance of the Aldi Mamia Nappy Range, with many praising their excellent absorbency, softness, and value. One tester shared, "I didn't expect them to be so good. Great absorbency and soft too." Another noted how well they work overnight, saying, "They kept my little girl dry and did not cause any irritation or nappy rash, unlike some other brands."
The adhesive tabs earned positive feedback too, making changing easier and more secure: "The nappies are easy to use with the sticky straps... they stay on well and I’ve never had an issue with them coming off." Testers also appreciated that the nappies are durable enough to handle active little ones, with one parent commenting, "They withstood my little one constantly falling on her bum and standing up again without tearing."
Several testers mentioned the impressive leak protection, even overnight: "Usually we have problems with leaking, especially during the night, but with these nappies this problem has not occurred." One parent noted, "Some nappies seem to leave my baby’s bum damp when full, but she was left much more dry with these than with our usual brand."
While most feedback was highly positive, some noted minor drawbacks, like the visibility of the orange design through thin clothing, and a desire for a bit more structure to help with quick changes on wriggly babies. However, overall impressions were strong, with one parent summing it up: "We have stopped using nappy cream as these nappies don't seem to cause any issues in that respect."
Final verdict
The Aldi Mamia Nappy Range offers impressive quality at a budget-friendly price, proving that you don’t need to spend a fortune for reliable nappies. With standout absorbency, a soft feel, and strong, secure tabs, these nappies held up well both during the day and overnight — even for active little ones. Most parents reported fewer leaks, less irritation, and no need for additional products like nappy cream. While there were a few minor points around visibility under light clothing and ease of fastening on wiggly babies, the overall feedback was overwhelmingly positive. For parents looking for an affordable, effective, and gentle nappy option, Mamia nappies are a strong contender
