How to keep your Nappy Bag organised

The key to keeping your nappy bag organised is having a place for everything.

When each item has a dedicated spot, packing becomes quicker, finding what you need is easier, and restocking at the end of the day feels far less overwhelming.

1. Keep small essentials easy to reach

Items like dummies & waste bags often disappear into the bottom of a nappy bag. Keeping these essentials in outside easy access pockets or clipped externally makes them quicker to access when you need them most.

Lots of parents love to use a Dummy Case or Waste Bag Dispenser that can be attached to your Nappy Bag or Pram Caddy.

2. Use Packing Pouches to minimise clutter and maximise space

Pouch packing is a game-changer! If you are finding you don't have enough pockets or space, having additional pouches in your bag helps to separate items by category and compress bulkier items.

Here's how most parents use our Packing Pouch Trio:

Large pouch for nappies, wipes and your fold-up change mat

Medium pouch for spare clothes

Small pouch for mum's personal items or first aid essentials

3. Keep all changing essentials together

Store your nappies, wipes and creams together in one pouch so you can easily pull out everything you need for a nappy change in one go- this is especially handy for outings where you don't need your whole nappy bag!

Our 2 recommended options:

Nappy Changing Pouch
Parents love this all-in-one, three-piece changing set that keeps nappies, wipes and creams together in one easy-to-grab pouch. It includes a fold-out change mat and a hard wipes case, helping make on-the-go changes feel simpler.

Change Mat Clutch
Many parents find this clever clutch helpful for on-the-go changes – it folds out into a softly padded changing mat, with fold-out pockets to keep nappies, wipes and creams together.

4. Separate snacks, bottles and pumping gear

Keep your bottles or snacks in the side insulated pockets of your OiOi nappy bag.

For additional storage, our Mini Lunch Bag fits perfectly inside all OiOi nappy bags. It also fits compact breast pumps!

5. Save space with a compact wipes case

Wipes packets can be bulky and add unecessary extra weight to your nappy bag. Our Clear Hard Wipes Case has a slimline design that fits 20 wipes and will fit neatly inside one of your bag's pockets.

What is the best way to organise a nappy bag?

The easiest way to keep a nappy bag organised is to create clear zones for different essentials. Group nappies and wipes together, keep feeding items separate, and store spare clothes and personal items in their own compartments. Using purpose-designed accessories like packing pouches, changing clutches and pram organisers helps reduce clutter and makes it quicker to find what you need when you are out and about.

How should I pack a nappy bag to stay organised?

Pack items upright in neat “columns” rather than stacking them on top of each other. This makes everything easier to see and helps avoid digging through the bag. Place items you use least at the bottom, with everyday essentials positioned toward the top for quick access.

How should I organise a nappy bag for quick outings versus full days out?

For short outings, a compact setup with a change mat clutch and a small essentials pouch is often enough. For longer days, adding extra pouches for food, spare clothes and personal items helps you stay prepared without overpacking. A modular system allows you to swap accessories in and out depending on the day.

How do I stop my nappy bag from becoming messy during the day?

The key is using accessories that make repacking easy. Returning items to the same pouch after each use helps maintain order, even on busy days. Fold-out change mat clutches and structured organisers also help keep items contained, rather than loose in the base of your bag.

How many pouches should I use inside my nappy bag?

Most parents find that three work best. A simple system is one pouch for nappies and wipes, one for feeding or snacks, one for spare clothes, and one for small essentials like dummies and creams. This approach keeps everything visible and prevents items shifting around inside your bag.
