Nappies and Nappy Pants Australia - Everyday Essentials for Your Baby
Keeping your baby comfortable and dry is one of the most constant tasks of early parenthood. At Peekaboo Baby, our nappies and nappy pants range covers the full spectrum of options for every stage, from newborn nappies through to nappy pants for toddlers in toilet training. Browse alongside our full baby nappies collection and essential baby change mats for a complete nappy changing setup. Our nappy bins keep used nappies hygienic and odour-free, and when the time comes, our toilet training range supports the next big milestone.
Choosing the right nappies for your baby involves considering absorbency, fit, skin sensitivity, and practical factors like ease of fastening. Nappy pants have become increasingly popular for active toddlers and older babies, offering pull-up convenience that makes quick changes easier - especially when babies start to move and resist lying still for changes. Our range includes trusted brands chosen by Australian families for their reliability, comfort, and gentle performance on sensitive baby skin. Peekaboo Baby offers free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $129, dispatched from Melbourne.
What to look for in nappies and nappy pants
- Absorbency - Look for nappies with good absorbency core technology that keeps moisture away from the baby's skin for longer periods.
- Soft outer cover - A soft, flexible outer layer is more comfortable for the baby and gentler on skin during movement.
- Secure fit - Stretchy tabs on standard nappies and elasticated waistbands on nappy pants should provide a snug fit without leaving marks.
- Wetness indicator - Some nappies feature a wetness indicator stripe that changes colour when wet, helpful for newborns with frequent changes.
- Hypoallergenic materials - For babies with sensitive skin, choose fragrance-free and hypoallergenic nappies made from gentle materials.
- Size accuracy - Always size by weight rather than age. An incorrectly sized nappy is a significant cause of leaks.
Complete your nappy changing essentials with our change mats, nappy bins, and full baby nappies range for everything you need from day one.
Nappies and Nappy Pants - Frequently Asked Questions
Standard nappies use adhesive tabs on the sides and are laid flat under the baby for fastening. Nappy pants are pull-up style, like underwear, and are designed for older babies and toddlers who can stand for changes. Nappy pants are popular for the crawling and toddler stages when lying still for changes becomes difficult.
Most newborns start in Newborn (NB) or Size 1 nappies. However, if your baby is larger than average, you may need to move to Size 1 or Size 2 sooner. Always check the weight range on the nappy packaging rather than relying on age as a guide. Having a variety of sizes ready before birth is a good approach.
Most parents switch to nappy pants when their baby starts crawling or pulling to stand, typically around 8-12 months. At this stage, standing nappy changes become much more practical. Nappy pants also work well as a stepping stone toward toilet training underwear.
The most common causes of nappy leaks are an incorrect size, an improper fit, or leaving a nappy on too long. Ensure the nappy fits snugly around the legs without gaps, and change frequently especially during the newborn stage. Moving up a size can often resolve persistent leaking.
Yes, eco-conscious nappy options are increasingly popular. These use plant-based materials and reduced chemical processing while maintaining the absorbency needed for reliable protection. Browse our nappies range to find eco-friendly options suitable for environmentally aware families.
