ALDI has brought back a popular baby item after it temporarily disappeared from shelves.
Shoppers had been asking the discount supermarket where its Size 7 pull-up nappies had gone after struggling to find them in-store.
The supermarket confirmed the item had been temporarily discontinued but it's now heading back into Aldi shops - much to the joy of parents.
One shopper asked on X: "@AldiUK are you having any issues with size 7 pull up nappies? I can't seem to find them anywhere for about a week now and my boys a pooping machine! #no7shere."
A customer representative responded: "I have had confirmation that this item was temporarily discontinued but was introduced back and rolling into stores from 07/04/2025. Please keep an eye out."
However, they said they couldn't comment on when the nappies would be back in individual stores.
Another customer said last week they couldn't find the item at Aldi stores in Hebburn, Pelaw or South Shields for almost a week.
"What's going on with @AldiUK and none of their stores having any size 7 pull up nappies?" they wrote on social media.
Aldi responded saying the nappies should be available and that they remain part of its range.
"In the event that it is missing, it should not be long before the stores receive more stock!" it said.
The supermarket sells a 32-pack of its Size 7 Ultra Fit Nappy Pants for £3.59.
A smaller pack of 22 Mamia Ultra Fit nappies costs £2.69.
Parents are scrambling to The Range to nab new kids' toys - there's inflatables, swimming pools and up to 40% off
Nappy sizes are usually based on a child's weight, but a Size 7 will usually fit toddlers between the ages of two and four.
What other options are there?
Aldi's Size 7 nappies are among the cheapest you can find in supermarkets.
If you want a 30-pack of Pampers Baby-Dry Size 7 Nappies, it's cheapest in Asda currently at £3.98.
You can also get a pack for £6 in Morrisons or £10 on Ocado.
For a larger jumbo pack of 58, this costs £12.98 in Asda or £14 in Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco.
Another option is the Huggies Pull Up Pants Size 7 Daytime, which is on offer in Boots currently for £4 for a pack of 18.
Aldi discontinued items
Shops regularly bring out new products and discontinue items to keep their stock fresh.
Aldi recently discontinued its popular Dairyfine Blonde chocolate bar, which some shoppers had said was "better than Cadbury".
Another product taken off shelves recently is the Lacura Bonded Shampoo - a dupe of the popular Olaplex No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo.
The Aldi version had been £24 cheaper at £3.49 versus £28 for the Olaplex version.
A spokesperson for Aldi said at the time: "We continually review our range of products to make sure we're meeting the needs of Aldi shoppers."
Meanwhile, a discontinued Liz Earle beauty dupe has returned to shelves after being discontinued last Spring.
Aldi's Lacura Original Hot Cloth Cleanser, £2.99, had been praised for its likeness to Liz Earle's £30 Cleanse & Polish cleanser.
Why are products axed or recipes changed?
ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders.
Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether.
They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers.
There are several reasons why this could be done.
For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes.
Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs.
They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable.
For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018.
It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version.
Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year.
Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks.
While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.
