In May 2024 we shared an exciting announcement that we rebranded from Rascal + Friends to Rascals. Founded in 2016 by a New Zealand mom of four, we’re now proudly sold in over 25 countries worldwide and loved by millions of parents. As we continue to grow, it felt natural to refresh the look and feel of the Rascals brand and shorten our name. After all, many of you already called us ‘Rascals'. We can’t wait to share more of this exciting chapter with you!
Absolutely. New look, same Rascal + Friends!
While we are refreshing our brand from Rascal + Friends to Rascals, rest assured that our award-winning tape diapers, diaper pants and wipes are staying the exact same products you know and love. In addition to fun new Rascals content, you’ll start to see our new packaging land online in January 2025 - we can’t wait! Be sure to follow @rascalsbaby on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.
Our new Rascals packaging will start to land on RedMart and Lazada from January 2025.

Little humans come in all shapes and sizes, which is why our diaper pant size range is based on weight. If you're between sizes, try the smaller size first!

Try our size NB diaper for your newborn, designed for babies 3-5kgs.
We recommend choosing a diaper size by weight, and you can find this information on our diaper size guide. Some common signs that it might be time to size up are:
- The diaper starts to leak
- You’re changing their diaper more
- If the tabs no longer stretch enough to fasten comfortably over the hip
- The diaper feels tight around the waistband, leg cuffs or is starting to leave red marks on their skin
- You can’t run a finger inside the waistband when fastened
For more tips, head to our size guide and watch our Diaper Fit Check video.
Babies come in all shapes and sizes so we've engineered award-winning products so your little one can grow with Rascals.
Our tape diapers are available in sizes NB (newborn) to XL, and our diaper pants are available in sizes M to XXXL.
Signs your little one might be ready to try diaper pants:
- They will no longer lay still for diaper change
- They start to pull at their diaper or try take it off
- Diaper tabs no longer fasten at their hips and they’ve outgrown the largest size
- They are beginning to potty train and start learning to pull a training pant up and down on their own
All babies are different, and while diaper pants are typically used for potty training toddlers, they’re also a great alternative to diapers for active babies. Made with the same feather-soft materials and leak-proof features, Rascals Premium Training Pants are Our #1 Fit For Active Babies[1].
Engineered with an UltraFlex 360™ Waistband, Quick-Change Features and Easy On & Off Design, our diaper pants function just like underwear so you can change little rascals on-the-go, or help with the transition to potty training. Available in sizes M (6-11 kg) to XXXL(17+ kg).
Rascals Premium Diapers are engineered with 6 Core Innovations for a high-performing diaper that’s dermatologist tested safe on sensitive skin. Our #1 Absorbing Diaper is made with a unique Hydrolock Core™ that holds up to 25x its weight in liquid for up to 12 hours of leak protection[1,2,3] - that means less blowouts, less mess and less stress for you.

Understanding how often to change newborn diaper is key to ensuring your baby's comfort. While every baby is different, most newborns will need a diaper change 8-10 times a day. This is due to more frequent bladder movements and to ensure they are comfortable in a clean diaper to help prevent diaper rash. Rest assured, Rascals Premium Tape Diapers offer advanced leak protection to quickly absorb moisture and keep skin dry, and our handy wetness indicator helps you know when to change their diaper – it turns from yellow to purple when full.
The number of diaper changes per day typically decreases as your little one gets bigger, with toddlers only needing 4-6 changes a day.
The most common cause of diaper leaks is the wrong size diaper or fit. Engineered with 12 hours of advanced leak protection[3] and leak-proof features, Rascals Premium Diapers are designed to keep leaks contained. To help ensure you have the correct size and fit, we recommend:
- Choosing a diaper size based on weight. Check our diaper size guide to ensure your baby is still within the correct range.
- Checking the diaper is fitting correctly, including: having the leg cuffs untucked, tabs securely fastened at the waist, and waistband sitting high on your little one’s back.

Absolutely! Our #1 Absorbing Diaper is made with a unique Hydrolock Core™ that can hold up to 25x its weight in liquid for up to 12 hours of advanced leak protection, day and night[1,2,3]. Our Fast-Dry Layer also absorbs and traps liquid in seconds, to keep your little human’s skin dry overnight and help prevent rashes.
Our unique fit means that rather than stretchy tabs, our tape diapers are made with an extra stretchy waistband designed to wrap around your baby’s waist and sit higher on their back to prevent leaks from escaping. In fact, Rascals Stretchy High-Back Waistband™ offers 2.5x more stretch[4] and helps you perfectly fit the diaper to your little one.
Yes! All sizes of our tape diapers are made with a wetness indicator. Our diapers with wetness indicators change from yellow to purple when it's time for a change.
Designed to take the guesswork out of diaper changes and make life easier, our wetness indicator changes from yellow to purple when the diaper is full and ready to change. You’ll find our wetness indicator on all tape diaper sizes.

We use water-based inks to print our tape diapers and diaper pants, which are safer for your little one and the planet than traditional oil-based inks. Meaning our signature Rascals design doesn’t just look better, it is better!
The crystals and gel found in your baby's diaper are super absorbent polymers (SAPs). SAPs are safe and non-toxic materials used to absorb urine and feces in nappies.
When SAPs absorb liquid, they swell and form gel beads. These beads help keep the diaper dry and comfortable for your baby, while also preventing the growth of bacteria that can cause diaper rash.
While you may occasionally see small gel beads on the diaper or on your baby, rest assured that they are non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing. SAPs are extensively tested and researched, and are commonly used in products that come into contact with skin or food.
At Rascals, we are committed to using quality materials and our diapers are made with ECF (Elemental Chlorine Free) pulp. ECF pulp is completely safe for use in diapers and on sensitive skin. To be a suitable diaper material, ECF pulp undergoes a very safe bleaching process with chlorine dioxide, please note chlorine is not ‘added’ to the diaper at any stage. Chlorine Dioxide is a compound that is completely different to chlorine and is quickly converted to harmless salts and water.
Additionally, the ECF process has more environmental advantages than TCF (Totally Chlorine Free) pulp and is recognized as the "best available technology" by the US EPA. You can find more information about this here.
No, Rascals Premium Tape Diapers and Diaper Pants do not contain Glyphosate. In fact, our diaper was the first in the world to have the BioChecked Non Glyphosate certification.

When it’s ready to change, use our Easy-Tear Sides to remove the pant, then roll and reseal with the blue tab before disposal.
The blue tab on the back of our diaper pants is a handy disposal tab for when you dispose of the pant. Once removed and rolled up, unstick the blue tab and wrap it around the pant to seal it in place. It makes for easy changes on-the-go and keeps messes contained!
Every child is different and while there’s no one size fits all approach to potty training, here’s a few signs that your little one might be ready to start:
- They try to remove their diaper after urinating, or when they are uncomfortable
- They communicate that they need their diaper changed
- They stay dry in their diaper for at least two hours during the day, or are dry after naps
- They are excited by the idea of wearing underwear or “big kid” pants
- They can follow simple instructions, like walking to the bathroom, sitting down and removing their clothes
Saying goodbye to diapers is a big milestone for you and your little one! Because every child is different, it can take time to find what works for you. Just know that it’s a marathon not a sprint, and consistency of routine and patience is key.
To help your little one get started, we recommend the best way to potty train your child is by switching from tape diapers to diaper pants. Rascals CoComelon Premium Diaper Pants are engineered with 6 Core Innovations for a high-performing pant that’s designed to help make potty training easier. Plus, your little one will love change time with JJ & friends with our limited edition CoComelon print!
