Boots has expanded its own-brand range with its Little Stories nappies, made from 40% plant-based materials including sustainably sourced bamboo. At 23p per nappy, they’re a pricey purchase, which is why we’ve put them to the test to see if they offer quick absorbency, good leakage protection and a breathable design. We’ve asked parents what they think of the nappies too, to help us decide if they’re worthy of a Best Buy. Read our disposable nappy review to find out more.

Absorption rate

Overall
Daily use
Night use

How we test absorption rate

We apply synthetic urine to the nappy and time how long it takes to fully absorb the fluid. We repeat this four times to measure the rate of absorption as the nappy fills up.

Protection against leakage

How we test protection against leakage

We apply synthetic urine to the nappy and record the amount of liquid that leaks out of the nappy. We repeat this four times to record leakage as the nappy fills up.

Holding wetness inside

How we test holding wetness inside

We place filter paper on top of a fully fluid-loaded nappy and weigh it down. We measure the amount of liquid absorbed by the filter paper to work out how well the nappy holds in fluid.

How we test parents rating

The parent ratings for nappies tested before September 2023 are based on a survey of 674 UK parents in June 2022. The parent ratings for nappies tested after this date are based on a user panel of 30 babies who try out the nappy and whose parents give their thoughts on it.
