Independent reviews for European parents

A newborn uses 8–12 nappies per day. Over two years, that's roughly 4,400 nappies. Das brand, absorbency, and fit you choose matters, both for your baby's comfort and your budget.

Das EU diaper market is the most competitive in the world. Pampers and Huggies dominate volume, but eco-certified options like Lillydoo and Bambo Nature have improved significantly. Supermarket own-brands meet the same EU safety standards as premium brands at a fraction of the cost.
