Huggies Nappies
Verified414 reviews
Best nappies in Australia iv tried a tested ALL BRANDS over many years I have 7 kids so trust my opinion lol. Jokes aside there pricey but worth it if you want baby to wake up Dry. I tried for many many years not wanting to pay that extra few dollars. Just go Huggies tabs the pull ups aren’t as heavy duty as the tabbed ones Show details
So you have deleted this range and replaced it with a new version but have decided not make the replacement version in nappy sizes 4,5 and 6 only pull ups. Very disappointing you have decided to exclude this part of the market. To make matters worse you have sold all your existing stock of the old nappies to third party retailer Independence Australia who have marked them up 65% Absolutely Disgraceful!
Small sizing – Was hoping to switch my lil one from nappy to pants but disappointed in sizing. My bubs about 8kg & the pants are way too tight on her. Apart from poor sizing, feels good quality & if sizing was correct, I would continue to use.

The best – These are the best nappies for babies. They are the only nappies that fit properly and also hold a lot of fluid for overnight use. The only brand that I have found for babies that rarely leak. Won't buy any other brand for a baby. Show details
Hating this product! – Horroble nappies, We leak everytime and I'm never buying again. I've tried everything to stop it but nope we still leaking. Sorry Huggies but you have failed me as a mum and my child isn't happy either Show details
Huggies ESSENTIALS – I wish I could give negative rating to this product. I paid 13.99$ for a 54 nappy pack size 2 huggies essentials while I pay 9.99$ for a 60 nappy pack size 2 Aldi brand. I thought although I am buying essentials variety, huggies brand would most definitely be better. Guess what I was wrong. Don’t buy this variety. It is a waste of anyone’s money. I have attached the image of the both branda together. Decide for yourselves! Show details

Shocked how bad these are – I've just had my first son and on his first lot of nappies I used a brand called "little ones" which we received from the baby shower, I had no issues with them after using the whole packet. I then moved onto using the "Huggies Newborn" for the first time and from the first nappie poo leak out. The poo has only come out on that first nappy so… Read more
benefit of the doubt I would say I may of put on incorrectly but there have been multiple times they have leaked through with wee onto all his clothes. Making the night changes much more dreadful having to change outfits.
As we have over 300 pairs from baby shower we are forced to use these only during the day and are now using other brands for night times. I am shocked as we thought Huggies was the premium brand but are very mistaken as other brands there hasn't been any issues.
My sister who has 3 children who bought me some of the Huggies also said she bought them for us because she didn't want to seem cheap but said she also hates the brand as they also leaked out for her too. I guess the marketing guy needs a payrise.
Great nappy, but sizing is off – I too have to agree that these are my nappy brand of choice. They are soft, have excellent absorbancy and the leak protector on the back is excellent. However, unlike other brands the nappies are not true to size and with both my girls I've had to move up in sizes significantly earlier than the indicated weight range as the tabs on the stomach and… Read more
legs begin to dig in. For example - the newborn nappy was outgrown at 3.5kg and the infant is getting tight at 6kg.
I can't help but wonder if this is a marketting ploy to appear have the same sizes as other brands, but force a move up to a box with fewer nappies.
The shift to ultimate from ultra dry occured between my two daughters. The ultimate nappies do feel softer, however this change seems to have come with a compromise on absorbancy. I've had a few leaks with this box which I hadn't with the ultra dry (I'm using both as they are supposedly the same size). If the end game is to shift all their product to ultimate (I found it very hard to get a non ultimate size 2) I will look to shift to another brand.
Awesome - up to a point – Really good nappies, and used them from birth as they were used by the hospital. Bub seemed to be un phased by them, and they were soft to the touch. As new parents it too a bit to get used to doing them up tight enough to prevent leaks, but again no red marks and no discomfort. They seem to be able to retain moisture similar in volume to the… Read more
atlantic ocean, which is handy as you don't need to change nappies and induce the wrath of a crying baby as often. When they did leak from a reconstituted diary explosion, the damage is controlled to a small area, unlike some other brands which ensure the poo circumvents the entire leg, and subsequent clothes.
Downside however, is that they state to be up to 5kg babies, but only if your baby is made out of lead. Had to upsize to infant within around 4 weeks, and was lucky enough to simply swap the extra box at the shop. They are far better quality than many other brands, and when on special are the best value, otherwise baby love is on par, albeit a little wide seeming in the crotch. The wetness indicator is a must for any nappy IMHO.
Other than that, is to me ,the go to brand..... at the right price.

Perfect nappies for my little one, never had any leaks! – My little one is 3 weeks old and we’ve been using these nappies since the day he was born. We’ve never experienced any leaks and have only had maybe 2 or 3 blow outs so far! On the nights I’ve been so sleep deprived and forgotten to change his diaper, he still never leaked which gives me such peace of mind as a FTM. The one time I used a different… Read more
brand nappy he leaked over-night SO BAD to the point he was soaking. I knew right then and there that I’m never changing brands.
New zinc huggies – I received this product as a gift for my honest review. Very honest answers. Two mums can’t afford huggies and they thought it was a pleasant surprise when they did try them. They loved the soft touch and fit. The absorbency was a huge factor and not one leaked! Yay!! People really enjoyed the softness and the thought of the less chemicals… Read more
inside. Gosh I hope I’m right in saying that to them.
The zinc ones I believe aren’t any different to the normal origins ones in my opinion. We use them exclusively at the moment. But yes, I will buy the zinc ones to see if they continue to not give my girl any rashes.
Only brand I use – Best nappy on the market, since newborn till size 3 nappy pants now. Doesn’t leak . Wish there was a nappy wet guideline even for nappy pant. Show details

package returned to sender – can someone please contact me regarding my order? it was sent back to the sender as i failed to collect it from the post office in time. #67626698 thank you
Terrible – Huggies were good, rill they got money hungry and cut down on quality and kept the price the same. With there new and inproved nappy which all they did was lower the amount of absorbing material to save them selves money. He leaks through his clothes now. Not impressed, they were good but now terrible, they down graded the product to make a buck. Show details

Soft on babies skin, seem to hold up well but very comfy for baby!
If you want to change their clothes 7 times a day these are for you! – If these was an option for zero that would be my review. NEVER have I experienced this amount of leakage!!! My newborn baby boy is constantly leaking up his back through all his clothes, swaddles and bassinet sheets at a minimum of 7 times a DAY!!!! It’s driving me nuts I have changed size, changed the way the tabs sit, to tight to loose, above… Read more
the belly button, below the bellow button checked all the tricks and tips online and NOTHING WORKS I HATE THESE DAM NAPPIES
Most terrible nappies ever!!! – So many boxes of these nappies were gifted to us by our friends in different sizes in February this year and we used them as we can't return them along with the wet wipes. The nappies and wipes gave my little one nappy rashes, and leaked every time even just for pee, they leak in 2 hours let alone for 12 hours. Can't contain the poo at all as… Read more
there was an explosion at the back almost everytime and it is super annoying. I have to change the whole outfit multiple times.They are the most terrible nappies and wipes I ever had to use for my baby especially if you're on the road which makes it even more challenging. They also have these material that stays on bub even after it's wiped. I highly do not recommend huggies nappies! Don't waste your money. I found comfy koals nappies after them and I am so glad I did. I wish I knew about them sooner instead of suffering my baby and myself with huggies. Got size 4 box I will throw away.
Terrible quality – Purchased a box of 108 infant nappies and have had 10nappys half way through box not adhering properly. Have contacted Kimberly Clark and have photos of proof but have not received a response. Wasted a precious $50 will never use again Show details
Leaks!!! – Absolute rubbish!!! I used these with my 1st born and they were fantastic. Obviously they have changed the product over the last 2.5yrs as now, with my 3.4kg 4 week old, I have not had one night for the past 3 nights where I haven't had to change my daughter and her sheets at least one to 3 times per night!!!! These nappies have not even been… Read more
making it to 3hrs between feeds before she wakes up absolutely saturated! I'll be taking the unopened boxes back for a refund!!!
Leaking – The only brand that kept leaking for my baby. Doesn't really absorb. I have to change after 2-3 hours. Doesn't worth the money. Show details

Amazing quality – I find these the most amazing nappies for newborns. They are so soft on the skin. Really really good quality, no leaks or anything. I was sad when I had to change over to the next stage, as those weren't anywhere near that quality. Show details
leaking, leaking leaking! – I'm so tired of changing my baby's WHOLE set of clothes during the cold winter nights. Pee leaks over his side n back, seems after the front part is full, pee doesn't get absorbed to the back. only wear 3 or 4 hours to sleep, and his clothes are soaked wet. And poops leak frim his legs during the day, really sucks. i expect it good enough for overnight use as it is promoted in their ads..so speechless n disappointed! Show details
Leaking and leaking – I've seen this used in hospital & naturally I thought this brand is the best. But I'm wrong, the quality is very different from what was in hospital, and it's leaking every single time. Show details
These nappies gave our son a terrible rash – These nappies caused our son to have a massive red, bumpy rash all over his thighs, down his legs and on his arms within a couple of days of starting to wear them. After about 10 days, I was thinking of taking him to the doctor but then thought I'd stop the Huggies and see what happens. After having stopped them for 4 days, the rash has almost… Read more
completely gone! I think this is terrible considering these nappies are so expensive. They need to change what they are putting on their nappies. I will not use these again.
Leaks often – Have used two brands so far. Baby love and Huggies. For us, there are clear gaps in the Huggies newborn nappies which leak often., just now had a huge leak all over me. Baby love I found to have smaller gaps. Not sure why these get such great reviews. Could be these just don’t work for us. Show details
Not suitable for over night use – I have found that these nappies leak during the night for my newborn. Several times this week I've had to change my babies clothes and bedding after only 1-2 hours of wearing these. Show details
Leak! – I am so disappointed with Huggies newborn , nappy is leaking either my baby wears it for 4 hours only. These are my starting days after he born and I have to change bedsheet clothes everytime in every nappy change. A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Show details
Leaks – Very unimpressed. I've always heard great things about Huggies and we're very kindly gifted quite a few packs for our baby shower. So far we've had nothing but leaks. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong but we switched to Babylove and haven't had any issues.
Always reliable,never had problem – We have 4 children and tried so many product.Huggies and Babylove are the best performing ones. Never had leaking or rash with Huggies. Absorb more than other brands. We can sleep through not worrying about wetting bed. Show details
Ok but definitely not my preferred brand – When you do enough nappy changes you start to discover small things make all the difference. Like a few brands the nappies hold well but often I found when doing a change the tags would fold back on the nappy. This stops you wrapping it into a nice self contained package.
Wet through every time. Disappointing! – The private hospital were still using Huggies so naturally we thought they were most reliable. But after a couple of weeks using them for our newborn we noticed that it was leaking through each and every time! It’s like there is no water proof outside layer at all. No wonder why her bum felt wet through her clothes constantly. And this is only for… Read more
a 1-2 week old baby being changed every 2-3 hours. Read the packet - made in China - is this why? Very disappointing!
Disappointed – I have been using huggies since my first born.been very satisfied with huggies for 17 years. But lately the new ones (now made in china). Are a huge disappointment. They sag, and then leak. Before huggies was value for money I would use 2-3 a day, but now I have to change immediately after my toddler poops. Because it might fall out due to… Read more
sagging.very inconvenient. I actually did not want to buy huggies anymore when I found out they will be produced in China. But my partner bought them. So I just used them. Clearly I was right not to buy them in the first place. Why did they have to move the manufacturing to China....China....20 years of trust gone. Bye bye.
Leakkkkingg And To Expensive Very Poor Quality! – I buy my son diaper huggies the new tailor made and They said absorb 12 hour but not even 6 hour they already leaking sooo baddd and wet all over mybed . For that price i should get more quality not just poor quality . Really disappointed coz this big brand and should be thinking more about quality not just profits!!! Show details
