New diaper size to pick, and no idea which one will actually fit your baby? It's one of the most common traps for new parents – you buy a big pack in advance, only to find that the diaper leaks, chafes, or that your little one has already outgrown it. A Bammies sample kit solves the problem before it starts: three diapers in your chosen size, tested for real, before you commit.
What is a Bammies sample kit?
A sample kit is a small trial batch of bamboo diapers in one specific size. You test the fit, material and absorption on your own baby – not against a weight chart on a screen.
Worth trying before a bigger purchase, especially if:
- Your child is between two sizes
- You have a newborn and aren't sure about The Mini or The Newborn
- You've had leaks or redness with another brand
- You're considering a subscription but want to feel the diaper first
Which sample kits can you order?
Bammies offers sample kits in most sizes, in both open diapers and pant diapers:
- Sample Kit The Mini (2–4 kg) – for the very smallest, including premature babies.
- Sample Kit 4–7 kg – the standard size for newborns.
- Sample Kit 6–9 kg – the next step, usually around 2–3 months.
- Sample Kit 8–14 kg – for active toddlers.
- Sample Kit 10–16 kg – a larger size for older babies.
- Sample Kit The Explorer (14–20 kg) – for the most adventurous.
- Sample Kit Pant Diapers 6–9 kg and 8–14 kg – for those of you on the road to potty training.
Every sample kit contains 3 diapers in your chosen size – enough to feel whether the fit is right, how it breathes against the skin and how long it stays dry.

Why try before you buy a whole pack?
Diapers aren't one-size-fits-all. A baby with rounder thighs needs a different fit than a long, lean baby of the same weight – weight charts are only a rough guide, never a guarantee.
With a sample kit, you'll see right away whether:
- The diaper sits snugly enough around the legs without pinching
- The waist reaches high enough at the back for nighttime diapers
- The bamboo material feels gentle on your baby's skin
- You get the dry time you're hoping for – up to 12 hours
The inner layer of Bammies is 100% bamboo, free from perfume, lotion and unnecessary additives – which makes the sample kit extra relevant for parents of little ones with sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
How to choose the right sample kit
Choose the size closest to your baby's current weight. Rule of thumb if you're between two sizes: go for the smaller size in pant diapers and the larger size in open diapers.
Already tried a size and it's leaking? Get in touch with customer service with your baby's weight, age and the size you've tried. If it's a fit issue, we'll often send out new samples free of charge – we want it to be just right for you.
Common questions about Bammies sample kits
How many diapers are in a sample kit? Three diapers in the size you choose – enough to judge the fit, the material and how long they stay dry.
Can I order several sample kits at once? Yes. If your child is between two sizes, it's often easiest to order both and compare side by side.
Are sample kits free? Sample kits come with a small charge on a regular order. If you have a fit issue or leaks with a size you've already bought, we offer free samples instead – contact customer service and we'll help you out.
Can I move on to a subscription after the sample kit? Absolutely. Many parents start with a sample kit, find the right size, and then go on to try bamboo diapers as a subscription – no notice period and no lock-in.
