What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?

CHOICE Expert Rating

This is the product's overall performance score, based on key tests conducted by our industry experts in the CHOICE labs.

Size View more details.

We test newborn (up to 5kg), infant (3-8kg), crawler (6-11kg), toddler (10-15kg), walker (13-18kg) and junior (16kg+) sized nappies. The weight ranges are general to each size. Only products within each type are directly comparable to one another. 

Junior
Recommended View more details.

We recommend newborn, infant, crawler, toddler, junior and walker nappies with a CHOICE Expert Rating of at least 80%, and at least 70% for absorbency, leakage and rewet.

No
CHOICE Expert Rating View more details.

The CHOICE Expert Rating is made up of absorbency (40%), leakage (30%), rewet (20%) and velcro strength scores (10%). Note: Only nappies within each type are directly comparable to one another, so use our filter tool to sort by type (newborn, infant, crawler, etc).

Absorbency score View more details.

Using synthetic urine, gushes of the liquid are dosed into the centre of the nappy using a pump. For newborn nappies each gush is 30mL, for infant nappies it's 40mL, for crawler nappies it's 50mL, for toddler nappies it's 55mL, for walker nappies it's 60mL and for junior nappies it's 65mL. This simulates a child wearing the nappy overnight. We measure the amount of time it takes for the liquid to disappear. This is repeated three times with a five-minute gap between each gush. The total time taken for all four gushes to be absorbed is the absorption speed.

74%
Leakage score View more details.

This is a visual assessment where we check if any leaks come out the side of the nappy.

100%
Rewet score View more details.

Five minutes after the last gush from the absorption test, six pre-weighed dry filter papers are placed on the wet nappy and held down for 30 seconds. The filter paper is then removed and weighed. Ideally, the filter paper should remain relatively dry.

60%
Velcro strength score View more details.

We measure the force required to open the velcro tabs.

60%
Leakage observed View more details.

Based on the visual assessment, leakage is rated as either: none, slight, light, moderate or heavy.

None
Velcro strength observed View more details.

Velcro strength is rated as weak, moderate or strong, depending on the force required to open the velcro tabs.
