Diaper subscription vs. the shop – which is actually cheapest?
Diapers are one of the big recurring costs during your baby's first year. Most parents pick them up while they're at ICA or Apotea anyway — but rarely with a clear picture of what it actually costs per month.
Let's do the maths.
How many diapers does a child need per month?
It depends on your child's age, but as a rule of thumb:
|
Age |
Diaper changes per day |
Per month |
|
0–3 months |
10–12 |
200–240 |
|
3–6 months |
8–10 |
180 – 240 |
|
6–12 months |
6–8 |
150–200 |
|
1–2 years |
5–6 |
150–180 |
So a newborn needs around 300 diapers a month. That's a lot — and you'll notice it on the shelf.
How much do diapers cost in stores per diaper?
The price per diaper in stores varies by brand and size, but typically lands between SEK 3.50 and 6 per diaper for well-known brands in bulk packs. At Bammies, a diaper costs from SEK 3 each on subscription.
What a subscription actually gives you beyond the price
It's not just about kronor per diaper. It's about:
Never running out. No more driving to the store because you've run out — one of the most stressful situations for new parents.
The right size, automatically. You can change the size on your subscription at any time via your account. No more guessing when it's time to size up.
Free shipping. Bammies subscribers get free delivery straight to the door every month.
How much does a Bammies subscription cost?
A monthly delivery costs SEK 649 and includes a full month's supply of diapers in your chosen size, plus free shipping.
Is Bammies also available in stores?
Yes. You'll find Bammies at ICA, COOP, MEDS, APOHEM, APOTEKET AB and Apotea if you prefer to shop in store. But for the best price and convenience, we recommend the subscription.
Bammies delivers bamboo diapers straight to your door every month. Change size, pause or cancel whenever you like — no lock-in periods.
