The cheapest per nappy we found and Canstar's 2026 winner for parent satisfaction; ALDI stores only.

We researched budget nappies and kept coming back to ALDI's Mamia. Australian parents rated Mamia highest in Canstar Blue's 2026 nappy survey, CHOICE has recommended most Mamia nappies in past tests, and CHOICE's 2026 price data puts it at around 21 cents a nappy — roughly half the price of big brands. There's no affiliate link here; we earn nothing if you buy it. Trade-offs: you have to go to an ALDI, fit and leak protection vary by baby, and one infant size scored lower for absorbency in a past CHOICE test.
