our son we used Huggies nappies as all the other brands we tried he would at night time, But as he started to get older he started to leak at night time on the huggies nappies so we tryed many different brands and our last brand was to try Aldi (where heard from a friend they where great) and they where right!!! We have never had any issues with them, my daughter who is now 18 months old we put her on huggies but she kept leaking at night time, so i went straight to Aldi and put her on Aldi nappies and once again we have never had any problems with them!!! they are great for the price we pay plus you pay less and get more then the other brands!! and to top it off it stop both of my kids leaking though the night (I can't complain) . The wips I can't complain for $2 (alot other brand like Coles /Woolworths brands for $2 are thin) so you get what you pay for!! plus the wips end up in the bins anyways so I am not complaining for $2 wips (even the bulk wips 240 are great! yes they are thicker and cheaper) aldi is great for nappies, wips I love Aldi nappies

Thank you so much for letting us trial these products . The nappies last the night for both my boys one is 2 and other 1 and both had no leaks. They were surprisingly very absorbent considering they are much cheaper than other brands . The wipes they were awesome , they were so wet and didn't dry out like some other brands and were great as one of my boys is very sensitive and gets rash easily.

These products were better than i expected them to be.
Nappies i usually buy the more expensive brands and was excited to try these. I was very suprised that they are very absorbent and lasted the night no leaks, and they fit well and no red marks.
Wipes they were great .. very soft and wet, the scented ones smell very nice and the unscented great to use when they get nappy rash so it doesnt sting them.
Loved trying these products will definately be getting these products again

I find the wipes to be a good thickness and didn't tear like other brands. They are not over wet and will hold their moisture for quite sometime.
The nappies in all the time I've used them, have never leaked. They are a great fit and don't cause too much irritation. At a great price, I'd always recommend them to family and friends

I have used Mamia nappies and wipes with both my children and I can't recommend them enough. I found the nappies to be far more absorbent than more expensive brands and they were one of few brands that actually lasted through the night. The wipes were gentle on my children's skin and didn't cause irritation Even though my children are a little older now I still keep the wipes on hand! I recommend Mamia to all my family and friends.

We love the Mamia range from Aldi - it's so much more affordable than other brands and they work so well. Never had one problem with the nappies and we still use the night nappies and wipes - they don't leak, are comfortable and offer great protection

After recieiving nappies and wipes to trial, I've actually gone and purchased more myself. I have used the nappies overnight with no leaks! I find that they hold everything inside where it should be with no leaks or explosions. Which is what you want for sure! I would happily by these again and have even told my mum friends who were skeptical like myself. For the price I think these nappies are great!

I've been using these nappies on my 4 month old for the past week or so. I have always previously used a much more expensive brand and I have not had a single bad experience which was a surprise. The wipes were tough and smelt great, the nappies didn't leak or leave marks on my chubba bubbas legs. I definitely feel like they have a lot of elastic around the waist which is good when you have a chubby baby. I was scared by using other brands as i thought she might have a reaction to them but I'm really happy with the quality. It would be nice but not essential if they had cuter patterns but its just a nappy and you rarely see them anyway! Thanks Aldi I will happily buy your nappies and wipes again!

I tried both crawler and toddler size, absolutely great, good fit, really absorbent, no red marks, very easy to use, my two daughters-in-law, one with a six month old and the other with a twenty-two month old are very, very happy and will definitely purchase, very grateful for the opportunity to review.

I have been using Mamia nappies & refill wipes (240pkt) for the past 3.5yrs and during this time found them to be great all round products.
- The newborn & infant nappies have wetness indicators which is great for new babies.
- The newborn nappies are a really good size (used them for almost 3mths)
- The refill wipes are thick and just as good if not better than Huggies refill wipes.
- An issue I did find is, there is no difference in the size of the Toddler (green pkt) & Walker (blue pkt) nappies, it's only the absorbency that's different. Aldi confirmed the size and absorbancy of these nappies after I wrote to them complaining that there didn't appear to be any difference in the nappies.
- I have found once you get past the Toddler size the nappies are smaller than other brands (Coles, Woolworths).
Overall they are really good products and value for money. I would never hesitate in recommending these products & I will definitely use them again myself.

Mamia nappies are awesome! I have 4 children and have used them on all. We use a mixture of Huggies and Mamia nappies and nappy pants. They are great value for money and work just a good as Huggies. Mamia is a brand I trust and recommend them many times to my fellow mothers and fathers. I do know though I think they work better on girls then boys. We have 3 daughters and didn't have one leakage but with my son especially during the night we have had a couple of leakages manly big wet ones. Wipes are thinner than Huggies but still just as good, does the job that it needs too and great for sticky fingers too.
These nappy's and wipes will definitely save you money especially for myself when my twin girls were in them.
Definitely a nappy and wipes that I would recommend to all mother's in need.

I only tend to buy these nappies in a pinch (when my others aren't on special, or when I am out and need one quickly). I find that they are equivalent to other nappies, except at night time. At night I find that they are not as absorbent and I have to use other brands. Simple packaging. Easy on the wallet.

As a Huggies household I have to say that Aldi's Mamia range of nappies and wipes are up there with quality and even better they come at a cheaper price!
The Mamia food range is also just as good as the other leading brands and our little man especially loves the custard dessert ranges!

Mamia nappies are fine during the day but a disaster at night. The sizes never seem to quite match up to the weights though. The newborn size was huge and by the time we got to walkers they were tiny.
I wouldn't even consider using the wipes again. Every time I tried them they were bone dry.
All in all they are cheap for a reason. If you want better quality then spend a bit more money. And definitely spend a bit more for nappies to use at night.

I used mama Mia nappies during the day and huggies at night. My kids are now toilet trained but we used the night nappies during transition and they were great. We still use the wipes too which a great value. Thick and moist with a nice scent or you can get the scent free ones which are just as good.

I really love the aldi baby range. The wipes are thick & smell beautiful! I keep a pack in my car & a pack in the house for cleaning as well. I have used the newborn nappies on three of my children and never had any issues with leakage. I would highly recommend to everyone. Great brand,great price:)

I think these nappies are fine... better then a lot of others but I am still not converted from
Huggies. I never used them over night but I have noticed them to have a bit of a wee smell. They are pretty good sizing and my bub had no reactions with the material, overall I would use again if I couldn't get huggies

I have 3 kiddies and have found that with each, a different brand of nappy is suitable to them. Unfortunately when I have tried the Mamia brand of nappies on each of my Little Ones, they have all had a varying degree of skin agitation. With my youngest, we thought we would give them a try as I was in my local Aldi store and running low on nappies. After the 1st day my daughter came out in a burn like rash on the area of skin the nappy touched, we thought we would give it a little more time in case it was a coincidence. By the next day, her bottom was so red that we she was not able to wear anything on the bottom for a few days (lucky it was summer so this was not a major issue). I know these nappies are favored by lots of mums and dads. Unfortunately we are not one of them..

We always use the Mamia wipes unscented because they are the least reactive on my redheaded baby's sensitive skin. The new thicker premium wipes are great and I find that I need to use less of them during very messy nappy changes. My one complaint is that they never seem to come out of the packs evenly.
The nappies are good for the price and I always have a back up pack available for times when he needs a nappy change when it is not long before his bedtime nappy change.

I absolutely love Aldi's Mamia wipes and nappies. Both Miss 10 months and Master 2 use their nappies and the wipes are an essential change table/ nappy bag item. I've tried many of the nappy brands and for the price Mamia are amazing. They are so reliable; no more leaks!

I started using the Mamia nappies and wipes for my children, quite some years ago, however only recently I noticed that my nephew was wearing the Mamia brand of nappy and they were also using the wipes. Wow!! I remember these wipes when they originally came to stores and boy-oh-boy have they come leaps and bounds since. I ended up buying wipes to bring home for those sticky face situations. very impressed!!

These are not a bad and cheaper alternative to the more expensive nappy brands like Huggies. I have bought these a few times in the past - usually when I miss a Huggies or others sale. They fit well, seems to be quite absorbent - they don't have moist covers when baby finished wearing them, and thus far they have not leaked on my bubs at night.

It was before Aldi was in SA my MIL from Melbourne bought these over for me and they are great, specifically the nappies. I would not use them at night, but during the day for a day nappy they are completely fine and reliable. They are very cost effective too.

I was impressed with the Mamia nappies I tried in 'Crawler' size. The 'front' and 'back' special prints came in handy for both hubby and granny who sometimes struggle trying new nappies! They lasted my baby through the night and were super absorbent. They did smell quite strongly when I opened them initially (chemically?) but that has faded once I took all the nappies out of the plastic and aired them on the shelf.

The nappies were perhaps a bit larger than Huggies, and didn't fit my small twins until they were over 4kg, however the inside is soft, and they seem to be absorbant. I don't know how they go overnight yet, but they do fine for the 5 hour sleeps my twins are currently doing. The wipes are soft, and seem to clean the messes well.

I used aldi Mamia nappies quite often, and never had a hint of any problems, they were great! I really liked the wipes too, however I did not like the large packets of 240 wipes, there was something different about them. But the smaller packets are great. All in all, I would not hesitate to ever purchase aldi nappies or wipes for my kids.

Aldi Mamia nappies are some of the cheapest nappies on the market and are some of the best I have used. They have amazing absorbency and are so reliable for quality each time. I have used Huggies and I have found that they can be prone to leak in instances where the Mamia nappies have held up, and I have also had instances where the tabs were stuck together on some nappies when opening the pack and have torn when trying to separate - I have never had this happen with Mamia.
As to the wipes - I prefer the bulk packets of wipes which are no different in quality to expensive brands. They are always lovely and wet and great to use - the ones in the smaller packets are thinner and not as nice and can sometimes stick together a little which can be annoying, but I would still use them as for the price you can't go too wrong.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

Better than I expected..

Awesome..
Nappies i usually buy the more expensive brands and was excited to try these. I was very suprised that they are very absorbent and lasted the night no leaks, and they fit well and no red marks.
Wipes they were great .. very soft and wet, the scented ones smell very nice and the unscented great to use when they get nappy rash so it doesnt sting them.
Loved trying these products will definately be getting these products again

A brand I trust
The nappies in all the time I've used them, have never leaked. They are a great fit and don't cause too much irritation. At a great price, I'd always recommend them to family and friends

Great product
- The newborn & infant nappies have wetness indicators which is great for new babies.
- The newborn nappies are a really good size (used them for almost 3mths)
- The refill wipes are thick and just as good if not better than Huggies refill wipes.
- An issue I did find is, there is no difference in the size of the Toddler (green pkt) & Walker (blue pkt) nappies, it's only the absorbency that's different. Aldi confirmed the size and absorbancy of these nappies after I wrote to them complaining that there didn't appear to be any difference in the nappies.
- I have found once you get past the Toddler size the nappies are smaller than other brands (Coles, Woolworths).
Overall they are really good products and value for money. I would never hesitate in recommending these products & I will definitely use them again myself.

As good as the leading brands!
The Mamia food range is also just as good as the other leading brands and our little man especially loves the custard dessert ranges!

Get what you pay for.
I wouldn't even consider using the wipes again. Every time I tried them they were bone dry.
All in all they are cheap for a reason. If you want better quality then spend a bit more money. And definitely spend a bit more for nappies to use at night.

Good but not as good as huggies
Huggies. I never used them over night but I have noticed them to have a bit of a wee smell. They are pretty good sizing and my bub had no reactions with the material, overall I would use again if I couldn't get huggies

Mamia nappies are not suitable for sensative skin

Best nappy on the market
As to the wipes - I prefer the bulk packets of wipes which are no different in quality to expensive brands. They are always lovely and wet and great to use - the ones in the smaller packets are thinner and not as nice and can sometimes stick together a little which can be annoying, but I would still use them as for the price you can't go too wrong.
