Nappies and baby hygiene in the UAE: prices and rules

Updated 4 November 2026

In the UAE a pack of baby wipes costs about AED 5 to 21, and a pack of nappy sacks or scented bags about AED 6 to 22. A single pack of nappies or pull-up pants is about AED 15 to 46. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites, November 2026. To compare offers for your baby's size and quantity, create a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules and product safety

Baby care products sold in the UAE must be certified under the Emirates Conformity Assessment Scheme (ECAS) run by ESMA. A federal product safety law requires that products brought into the State are safe. Some childcare articles, such as soothers, have mandatory UAE.S/GSO safety standards, and the rules differ for toys and feeding products. Ask the seller for the certificate or product registration before you buy in bulk.

Summer heat and storage

The climate is desert, with very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. Keep packs in a cool, dry place out of direct sun, because the heat can soften wipes and damage packaging. November is mild, so it is a sensible month to stock up before the summer.

Delivery, sizes and terms

Nappies are sized by weight in kilograms, so give your baby's weight rather than an age range. Ask whether delivery to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain is included in the pack price. Some online sellers offer cash on delivery, which is worth asking about for small everyday orders.

What to write in your request

Name the product (wipes, nappies, pants, nappy sacks or reusable inserts), the size or weight, a brand if you have one, the quantity, any features such as scented, fragrance-free or sensitive-skin, whether it is a one-off purchase or a regular order, your budget in AED and your delivery city.

On BlaBlaPrice you write what you need in your own words, free for buyers, and can add a photo. The assistant asks for missing details such as size and quantity, then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide whom to contact. For more baby items, see baby food and baby feeding.
