Last year when I was still just a new blogger with a new blog about a little girl, I wrote a post about packing your nappy bag. The ZPM nappy bag I had was great, but I had a problem with the fact that it wasn’t very portable as it didn’t have a shoulder strap. I shared my concerns with Zoe, the owner of ZPM, and here, about a year later, is the new and improved ZPM nappy bag.
It is smaller than the old bag, which is great for a nappy bag on the move – especially now that Ameli’s older and we more often than not pop out with a nappy and some wipes in my handbag, and nothing else.
My favourite feature about this bag was always, and still is the 360°c silver swivelling hook. When you’re in a public changing area, there’s nothing worse than having to put the bag (or the baby) on dirty surfaces. The changing mat is great for that, and easy to clean.
The inner compartments have more treats that I’ve not had in any other nappy bag – dispensing pockets for wet wipes and nappy bags. The wet wipes stay moist and as someone who is forever forgetting them at home, having some in the bag is so useful. There are elasticated pockets on the sides for bits and bobs, and room for a large amount of nappies.
I would love to see this nappy bag in a variety of colours and patterns, as I’m not really a fan of the spots, but it’s unisex and not sickly cutesy, which is good.
The front pouch has pretty much replaced my handbag, and is where my make-up, cash, keys and so on go. And what I love about it is that it’s see-through, so there’s no digging around trying to find things.
We’ve had a few nappy bags over the last 18 months, and really, those ZPM bags are high on my list of favourites. They’re unusual, functional and in my opinion, just make t rips out that little bit easier.
And at £24.50, it’s also one of the better priced nappy bags around!
Soooo… the giveaway.

I love the hanging hook, ace idea
the hanging hook is a fantastic idea.

The nappy bag has so many great features but I think by favourite is the dispensing pockets for wet wipes and nappy bags.
I am following both on Facebook and Twitter, @rachelscomps
My favourite feature is the hook. Just means you can keep it off the floor, nice and tidy!

I like the fact that it is the changing station and wash bag in one!

I love the hanging hook, I hate it when i go to change my sons bottom and i have to put my bag on the floor in the changing room!
I like both pages on facebook xx
I love how functional the bag is. Everything has its place in pockets, a feature which is needed in any bag. x
Following ZPM on twitter (as @Kangarinos)
I like the fact that it has room for lots of nappies, we use cloth so lots of room is remarkably important!
Loving the hanging hook – following on twitter as well.
The front pocket seems to be very handy, not many nappy bags have so many pockets.
I like both pages on facebook

Like the idea of the front pouch as hate carrying a hand bag and nappy bag as always makes me feel like a pack horse :0)xx

I like the dispensing pockets for wipes
Like that there are lots of pockets.
It’s just got to be the dispensing compartments – unbelievably handy. Some wipes holders let the wipes dry out in days but the waterproof material of the ZPM bag will keep them moist.
Great idea,
dispensing pockets for wipes and bags
I am also a fan (follower) of yours on twitter.
@curiousgregor
I really like the fact that you can hang it up. It means that it can be put slightly out of the way and will not be knocked off anything.

love the idea of the dispensing pockets – very handy!
Followed on FB
I like the pockets to dispense wipes.
elasticated pockets for jars and creams
a travel changing mat
Great idea to have elasticated pockets for jars and creams, better than having them separate or stuck in the bottom of a bag.
The pockets to dispense wipes are a great idea and not in any other bag i’m aware of.
i love all the extra pockets, means i am less likely to forget something!
I like both pages on facebook
I like the hanging hook, always seems silly to hang my handbag but put the baby bag on the manky floor
I like both pages on Fabcebook (sarah allcoat on FB)
@medsdemon
I love the fact it hangs. How many times do you go into a changing facility and there is literally no-where to pop your bag down…that’s clean anyway> this would be so handy as can even just hang over the top of the door and leave your hands free too.
Thanks for the giveaway.xx
@medsdemon
I love the front pouch. Liking both pages on FB.

I love the dispensing pockets for wipes! Great idea for single handed nappy changing!
it caters for every aspect of nappy changing –what’s not to like ??
I also follow ZPM and Diary of a First Child on Facebook
I think the hanging hook is fab. Especially good when you don’t want to put it down on the floor.

I like the travel changing mat; comes in very handy. Don’t want to be resting baby’s bottom on anything unclean!
Dispensing pockets for wipes and bags, very very handy. Quicker then trying to search in a bag whilst keeping your baby still on the mat aha xx
I like the hanging hook, I hate having to put my nappy bag on the floor then keep bending down to get things out or put them away, especially now my little one is rolling over!
Im a fan on FaceBook (sara lambet) shared this blog with my friends,I think its such a great blog.I love the idea of the ZPM nappy pack what a great little thing it is so wonderful
xx
I like ZPM and diary of a First Child on Facebook
best feature has to be the ‘360°c silver swivelling hook’ great to able hang this up wherever you are using it and still be able to access the pockets
follow ZPM and Diary of a First Child – done
the fact it holds a whole packet of nappies
Really like all the pockets so that everything is to hand and not in a muddle together 🙂
I like that you can get loads in it but its not big and bulky like alot of them are ..and being able to hang it is space saving
I like you on Facebook 🙂
I <3 how small it is yet it holds a whole pack of nappies – also love the fact that the pockets are clear making it easy to find things, always a pain ahving to rummage around when the little one has made a mess.
Following both on twitter @ericahughes
Love the fact you can hang on a door – really useful when away from home.
I LOVE THE FACT IT CAN HOLD A WHOLE PACK OF NAPPIES CAUSE I LIVE IN A FAIRLY BIG HOUSE AND IM OCNSTANTLY RUNNING AROUNF GETTING NAPPIES FROM DOWNSTAIRS. iT WOULD BE GREAT TO HANG ON THE BACK OF THE NURSERY DOOR.

The dispensing pockets for wipes is a brilliant idea
I am following you on FB as Jo Mse Smith and both on twitter as @meetjosmith
I love the fact that you can hang it up and then have it ‘flop’ open to access everything – obviously designed by a mother!!
The clear pockets are very practical.
I love that I can have it hanging on the back of the door in my little ones room and then when it is holiday time we can just roll it up and off we go.
The easy view clear pockets are great to enable speed of use in finding essentials
This design is so cool I’d take this bag everywhere with my Sam and I!
I like the dispensing pockets for wipes
great for travelling because it folds up small, yet when you arrive you can hang it up
I love the fact it has a 360 degree hook so you don’t have to put it on the floor!
Am following TrolleyDolly on twitter @captainsunflow
I love the clear zip pockets. And I like the spots too!
the features i love the most is the fact you can unzip it and hang it up, also the amount of storage pockets it has is absolutely fab , i have liked all pages on facebook and following on twitter @twinklenicci …….fantastic blag and giveawy xx will also be sharing with friends x
the clear zips and pockets so that I can see what I need quickly is a winner
I love the fact you can put a whole pack of nappies in as I often leave my son with his granparents when i go to work and it would be so conveinent to put the nappies in and not having to remember to restock every day.
I love the elasticated pockets – there’s always a jar that spills if it’s not held in properly! Following you on Twitter @Isis1981uk
I love the amount of compartments that this bag has ! You can keep everything tidy and organised. I am a follower on twitter and a friend on facebook.

I like how it holds so much but it looks nice and small and not bulky ! Also love the hanging hook ! Fab idea !
I like the idea of the hook. Sometimes I go into a public loo with my little one and struggle to find a space for the changing bag while I’m sorting myself or the little one out.

I like how compact it is when folded.

@tatooinechick
These are lovely! I like the clear pockets as I get tired of digging about in the bottom of our existing nappy bag for stuff. With another baby on the way we could do with an upgrade from the free Boots one anyway!
I’d have to say my favorite feature is the roll up storage with the hook to hang it up
i am following on twitter @ashlallan
i absolutely agree with hayley, the fact it holds a whole packet of nappies is amazing, i hate when they only hold one or two and your always having to fill it up.
Love that you can hang it! How handy! Presuming there is somewhere to hang it off of course, I always hated trying to have the nappy bag within a safe reach of baby changing stations when out! Grrrrrr!
I already follow you on facebook and have just liked ZPM too 🙂
Thank you for this wonderful giveaway, good luck everyone
I’ve just read the whole features details on this wonderful changing bag, and choosing one feature is really tough!! It has everything I could want from a changing bag! I especially love the fact it can hold a whole pack of nappies and can be hung on a door! Perfect for when you are away for the night or on a short-break!
