Nappies: sizes, absorbency and what a year costs: a size-by-weight table across the brands sold in EE/FI/LV taken from pack labels, which never line up…
This launch guide maps the topic, the source base and the practical questions. Check the linked official authority before acting on a rule, deadline, price or safety requirement.
What this guide covers
A size-by-weight table across the brands sold in EE/FI/LV taken from pack labels, which never line up, plus daily counts by age and a computed cost per year per brand and size. The reusable half is done properly: prefold, pocket and all-in-one systems, the real laundry energy, and what the Environment Agency life-cycle work actually concluded. ~14 item pages including night nappies and boosters, swim nappies, wipe ingredients, the ANSES findings on substances in nappies and what changed afterwards.
How to use it
Use Nappies: sizes, absorbency and what a year costs to understand the inputs, units and assumptions before relying on an output. A useful result should be reproducible from the named source rather than presented as an unexplained score.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.

Evidence and provenance
The evidence map below records the primary, official or openly licensed material chosen for this guide. It is deliberately visible so a reader can tell the difference between a rule published by an authority, a measured dataset and an editorial explanation.

Source names are preserved even where an authority changes its web address. No figure is added to this launch page unless it is already present in the cited source description or can be computed from a named dataset.
Scope and boundaries
