I didn't have the best experience – I always see this at a grocery store and decided to buy a pack. Unfortunately, this leaked throughout the night and I had to change the sheets while I am using this. Show details

Not at all what they used to be – Huggies were previously the gold standard as far as nappies go with a pricetag to match. how unfortunate they are no longer made the same way. To begin with i noticed an awful chemical smell when i opened the bad up and it was all downhill from there. They seem to leak a little around the legs now and don't hold as much as they used to. They don't… Read more

feel the same either. I won't buy them again, too expensive for what they are. Seems they've been doing a lot of cost cutting.

6 hours of protection overnight at most. Not even close to what's advertised – We've been through every possible kind of Huggies nappy now and not one actually keeps my 2yr old dry overnight. We've tried bigger sizes, smaller sizes, nappy pants, ultra drys, ultimates, dry nights, and every morning he wakes up having completely wet through. Even changing him again as the very last thing we do late at night doesnt stop the… Read more

fact that huggies nappys across the entire range just dont hold enough or fit properly. Its beyond frustrating when they're such an expensive product. People seem to be reviewing their pretty Disney designs. I just wish they did what they say on the pack, and gave us even close to 12 hours of protection overnight. We've moved on to BabyLove, which so far havent leaked.

Quality improved – The new design didn't compromise the quality. I learned of the new design when I bought it and I was a little worried about that. However, I learned that it still works perfectly fine. I noticed that it doesn't leak fast than it was before. Maybe the quality then improved alongside the design.

Excellent Nappies – I have a 2 year old, and have been using Huggies for sometime now. We used to use the baby love, but found the Huggies Nappies to be more safe (with leaks etc). We have only had one leak, but it was over night, when he slept for 14 hours. When i picked him up, it leaked, (fair enough) as they are only meant for 12 hours max! Really comfortable, and no rashes, seem very light. Great for your babies bum! Show details

The best Nappies on the market – I absolutely love Huggies Nappies. The absorbency is the best and I haven’t found another nappy that holds as well as Huggies. I love I can go a full night with out waking my Baby to change her bum. The fit of Huggies is fantastic it contours to bubs body ensuring she won’t leak.

Agree - the "new design" is a new, and a much worse, product – Always used Huggies (Winnie the Pooh design) nappies overnight, could sleep through the night without the need to change. The new Mickey Mouse design is now just change in the patterns: the nappies feel different and leak twice a night. I called Huggies - they said Winnie the Pooh has been discontinued, you can't get them any more. This is very sad news and we are trying a different brand now. Show details

Change in quality – I've been using huggies for a a few yrs now and I've never had issues like I have now since the design change. Not only does the nappy leak from the top and sides but now it actually leaks through the front of the nappy. The sizing is smaller and the nappies feel thinner. Parents dont pay $30 a box for a brand, it's for quality. When the quality is sacrificed expect your customers to go somewhere else. Show details

worth the extra cost – I use these with my son and have done for ll 4 kids. they cost bit more but so worth it when you factor in wet beds and leaking nappies meaning more washing and night waking. The only brand that does not leak at night and by far the best.

very reliable nappies – only reliable nappies ive come across so far. although alot of other nappies are good, i feel i can go much longer between nappy changes with huggies. they are the only nappy ive found to not leak the entire night. a little more pricey, but i just wait for the sales and they are the same price as other nappies. worth using them as you dont go through as many nappies anyway.

Most absorbant nappy – Once my baby turned 6 months, all other nappies leaked at night except huggies. Due to the cost I strongly recommend huggies once baby sleeps through the night and also peeing larger volume but prior to this, babies don't pee enough for this to matter so I used comfort bots from coles until he got older.

No leaks but gave my son blisters in his groins – After using a competitive brand and moving up to toddler I found they leaked, switched to huggies and found the nappy is great but the plastic barrier to stop leaks gave my son blisters in his groins. He has never experienced this before, I would rather switch back to the competitive brand and do extra changes than have my son use nappies that give him blisters.

Awesome, best nappy out – These are the best nappies ever, I have been using them for my son since he was born and he is now in size junior at 16 months. No leaks or funny smells, holds number 2's in well. They have cute little Winnie the Pooh pictures on them and they fit well on my chunky monkey. Everything

New Soft Sides Leak like a sieve – I have always used Huggies nappys on my now 19mth old girl and have always found them to be a great fit and didnt irritate my girls sensitive skin however they have recently changed the leak guards from two strips to one big one and call it the new soft and secure side sheilds. This so called improvement is total [censored word removed] they leak… Read more

on a regular basis even when the nappy isnt even 1/2 wet. Sick of being caught out away from home with soaked pants when we never have had this issue before the changes. These nappies are expensive so you would expect they should hold up for a couple of hours however have been a big let down and i will have to start trialing some other brands now. Old Product New Soft Side Shields Leak Terrible

You get what you pay for – Nothing compares to Huggies Nappies. You get what you pay for. I like to be frugal in most ways however when it comes to my sons nappies, I use modern cloth through the day and Huggies at night and when out. They don't leak, no poo explosions, they're soft to the touch, I can be a tad lazy while out and leave my son in a Huggies nappy for 3 or 4… Read more

hours and my son is still dry! You don't even find crystals like some nappies leave when wet. I wish I'd used them when my son was a newborn. I switched to Huggies when DS was about 6 months and I've never looked back. I'm more then content to pay $33 a box when I know I'll be getting quality and no rashes.I put DS to bed at 7-7:30pm and he gets up at 8:30am. Never had a leak. EVERYTHING~!! Price and they have a funky smell when wet. Thats it.

Best nappies bar none – Huggies is so much better than any other brand that I have ever tried on my son. It absorbs everything and does not overspill or leak like cheap branded nappies. Given it is more expensive, I'd expect nothing less for the money I pay for this brand. Definitely worth its price. Absorbent Expensive

leaked – I've used so many other brands and this was the only one that leaked after an overnight use. Which is surprising given that it's nearly double the price of the others. it may have fancy tabs/strips/advertising but could not perform the most basic function which was to keep baby dry overnight. it leaked - enough said!

Prevents Nappy Rash – Due to the price of Huggies we have tried many different brands, but find they all give our son nappy rash. Huggies is the only nappy that does not give him nappy rash- we always go back. We only buy them when they are on special, and are currently looking for cheaper prices online. Prevents nappy rash expensive

It's all HUGs for Huggies Toddler Nappies! – I have tried many bands of nappies for my toddler and Huggies Toddler Nappies have always come out on top. As my little ones fluids have increased with age, Huggies Toddler has ensured maximum dryness and comfort, particularly overnight. I couldn’t ask for any more from a nappy! They also come in a variety of sized packs, bulk sized and travel… Read more

sized, catering for at home or for when the family is on the go. I understand why there is a HUG in Huggies. We love them! Dryness overnight

Huggies Toddler Nappies – I have been using Huggies for 18 Months + 3 Weeks. I have tried other nappies, because I go to a lot of Babies & Mums shows/festivals etc and I get samples. I have now tried at least 10 different types of nappies and no matter what anyone says, You can not compare any other nappy to a huggies nappy.... 100% satisfied customer Great Fit, Very… Read more

You get what you pay for – We have tried all brands of nappies and they just don't work as well as Huggies, I think there is a reason why they are the most expensive on the market, and when you consider the inconvenience of having to wash wet bed sheets I know why we pay the extra couple of bucks! The quality of tabs Expensive

You pay for what you get! – Absolutely love huggies and have tried all other brands of nappies and will still go back for Huggies although on the pricier side. They have a great fit, variety for all ages and have great absorption with no leakage, even overnight! Have been using Huggies since my son was born and he is now 22 months! Great absorption, with little leakage. Price

Won't use any other brand – My first 3 kids I did'nt use huggies and they constantly leaked and I was always changing them, my last 2 kids have only used huggies...so worth it, best nappies. No leaks, no fuss. Great for boys and girls. They work out to be better value for money because you don't use as many,love them ! No leakage, less changes because it absorbs more

Best nappy on the market! – I have used Huggies for my 17mnth old since he was born. I've tried several other brands which most were ok but he tended to leak very easily while sleeping in some. 6mnths ago I found the Huggies nappies 'leaking' the absorbent substance inside the nappy which was a little irritating but not had that happen in ages. Peace of mind, price has reduced again in most stores

Great diaper but too expensive – I have tried a lot of different diapers and was really happy with Huggies. They fit well and have great designs. I can trust them not to leak during the night. I do find them to be too expensive and not worth the extra cost, there are some other great brands that perform just as well at a cheaper price fantastic fit Price

Always Great – I have tried several brands of nappies, generally buying the brands on sale, but after several poor choices I am sticking with Huggies. They are alway reliable, good quality and I have never had them break or leak. The patterns are always lovely, and even as my son gets more mobile they still retain their durability while he plays. We have now… Read more

gone through several bouts of gastro illness with them, and they have always kept things contained. I have never had a problem with nappy rash when using Huggies. Great quality, always reliable and gentle on babies bum Unless bought on sale, can be expensive

Hooray for Huggies! – As a mother of two and a third on the way I've tried many brands of nappies over the years but none compare in the reliability stakes to Huggies. I have two boys so cannot vouch for the girls variety (even though we had a small pack bought for us by a kind meaning relative when my first son was young!) As a key market player for many years Huggies… Read more

have invested a tonne of cash into R&D to get the nappies correct for boys and the results show as the nappies stay a lot drier and leak less than other brands. This is not to say that they don't or won't ever leak but the chances are less likely with Huggies. Baby stays drier at night too and sleeps more soundly as the wetness is drawn away from the skin keeping baby more comfortable and allowing mummy more rest. Hoorray for Huggies! Always reliable More expensive than other brands

What's happened?! Your quality has dropped – I'm a mother of 3. I used Huggies on my boy born in 2008 & never had any dramas & on my daughter born 2010. My 3rd daughter born in Feb 2012 an I used Huggies newborns they were great I loved the new wet indicator too! As soon as we moved up in size the quality turned poor :( I had two packets replaced as I kept getting faulty batches an tabs… Read more

tearing off & inner eladtic tear everytime I'd open one to put on her! Also they felt so thin! I noticed they started causing her extremly bad nappy rash too! An the smell of urine was bad in them! Like they don't breath? An I change my baby very frequently. I always loved Huggies but these past 5 months I have to be honest Baby Love has out shined you! Better quality & value for money. I'd sort your product quality out as I'm not the first to think something has changed with the nappies over the months.

Quality has gotten poor & less value for money

Great nappy, but now you get less for the same price – Have been using Huggies nappies on my son for the past 2 years. However, I noticed in the last few months the box size of the Toddler nappies has changed and you only get 72 nappies in the box instead of 81, meanwhile the price has remained the same. I am extremely disappointed in Huggies for doing this, and will now be switching to a different brand. Good quality absorbent nappy Company got greedy and you now get less for your money

I used to be a Huggies mum – I started out using Huggies and have used every size since my baby was little. While they all fit my baby very well, as time has gone on I found they weren't as absorbent as they used to be, and I often found the little absorbency crystals on my baby's skin after taking them off (whether it'd been on for a couple of hours, or overnight). While… Read more

they are the most famous brand and many people buy them on name alone, you do pay for the big brand name. I don't think they're as good quality and reliable (anymore) as everyone says they are, and I think once you've shopped around like I have you find that the name means less and quality and value for money mean more. Fit well, cute pictures and gender specific designs Expensive, don't seem to work as well as they used to, leave absorbant crystals on my baby's skin

Huggies Nappies in General – Huggies nappies are extremely absorbent and soft on little tushies, and very little leaks day or night. Are made to fit around little bottoms. Have tried all the other brands, and nothing beats huggies. Suitable for both boys and girls, and are not built as a unisex nappy. All in all a brand that I would recommend to any mum of a child (boy or girl) of any age. absorbancy and fit
