Mothercare
Grey Print and Plain Muslins, Pack of 6
6.9/10 overallAround £15.99 for 6
A 10-pack own-brand muslin set aimed squarely at everyday newborn mess, not luxury extras.
Mothercare's own-brand muslins sit in the same practical bracket as Tommee Tippee's Comfi-Time pack — high volume, low cost per cloth, designed to be used hard and replaced without guilt. The 10-pack format means there's genuinely always a clean one within reach, which is the single most useful property a muslin has in the first few months.
Between this and the Tommee Tippee 9-pack, the choice mostly comes down to whichever is cheaper or more available at the time — both occupy the same practical, no-frills space in this category.

Standard size and softness, nothing premium.
Value per Pack
