1 Beth  · Strong chemical smell, can literally smell the urine when my child does a wee. These are not premium nappies, they are worse than cheaper nappies.
5 K IRV  · Highly Recommended – Amazing!!! I tried many brand but I used Rascals premium nappies for my baby.
1 Binita R.  · Binita – Very bad and poor quality. Was not able use any in whole box. The stick part keep coming off.very disappointed. Don’t refer anyone.
1 aidanistead  · Massive quality drop – Used to be great, used the brand for 5 years, quality has dropped massively after the rebrand.
1 Jieke  · Terrible, faulty sticky tab – The sticky tab on the right side of half of the products does not work at all, poos leaking everywhere. Terrible experience.
1 Bethany L.  · Nope – Nappy rash to the point of white dots and the skin then was peeling away from my babies sensitive areas.

I recently bought a pack of Rascals nappies from The Warehouse, and I’m really disappointed with the quality. They leak frequently, even with normal use, which has led to multiple messy situations for my baby. Both urine and bowel movements have leaked through, which completely defeats the purpose of a nappy. As a parent, reliability is… Read more

essential, and unfortunately these just don’t hold up. It feels like a waste of money, and I wouldn’t recommend them based on my experience. I’ll be switching to a different brand.

Used these nappies for a few days after we ran out of our Huggies and baby love options and within the day or two it gave our 3 week old a horrible nappy rash/burn. We changed nappies asap to Huggies and within half a day it already started to clear up.

Found a big blob of glue in 1 of the nappies, sticking outer frill to crotch area. Would have given baby a horrible rash if i'd not noticed. Had a major leak a few days earlier which must have had same fault. Tried to contact customer service twice with no response except an email saying they r very busy. Show details

The drop in quality is so disappointing. I’ve been using Rascals for years, for two children and it’s just a waste of money at this point. The absorbency has still been great, however at least 25% of the packet every single time pulls the sticky tabs off so the nappy can’t be used. I’ve tried complaining directly with the company but don’t even… Read more

get a response anymore (last complaint #214319).

Since the company sold the customer service dropped significantly, and the quality has certainly taken a nose dive

I wish I could give 0 starts. I just tried leaving a review in their website and they reject it twice saying oh no an error has occurred. I bought the nappies to trial them as they have a lot of good reviews and apparently choice have them as nappy of the year, plus they are cheaper than the usual brand my baby wears. Within a day and a half of… Read more

trialing these nappies I had 4 leaks and an unhappy baby with a skin rash on her parts. Never had a skin rash since she was born. Now I wonder if those price are actually achieve fair and square or the good reputation is one more of those “first place” paid recommendation.

Not impressed – Good day, im a hit disappointed in the product as nearly every second nappy won't close as the sticky latch is missing, tried the rascal and friends website to make my enquiry and I keep getting an error. Show details

Quality was Changed n bad – My baby started to used this premium nappies since she was a newborn, it worked perfectly well. However I purchased extra value pack size 5, 112 unisex nappies on 5/8/24 at Coles Macquarie centre, Macquarie park. The quality of that pack is totally different from what I been used before. The surface looks and feels different. The nappy is lighter n thiner. My baby developed nappy rash 2 days after using them, which she never happened before. Show details

Nappy pants are the best! – Honestly I am shocked at all the bad reviews. I had been using Huggies Pure Care nappies since birth, but they smell truly awful when left on overnight, and the Huggies Nappy Pants always leaked no matter what size I used. I also tried Comfy Koalas but they leak through the actual material after 1.5 hours. So thought I would try Rascals instead… Read more

and I am so glad I did! The material isn’t as soft as Huggies, BUT the design of their nappy pants is infinitely better. The nappy comes up a lot higher on the abdomen and there’s frills on the side. I haven’t had any leaks at all, no rashes, no awful smell (like Huggies), and they fit my bub absolutely perfectly. Highly recommend this brand! I am going to try their overnight nappies next.

Preferred nappy! – I wrote a previous review when using these nappies with my daughter noticing some changes however I am back using these nappies for my son. These nappies are my preferred nappy, the fit is great with a higher waist band and only the odd leak unlike other nappy brands. Gave only 4 stars as yes I have had the odd nappy where the tags didn’t work like previous reviews but never a whole packet. Overall back using these nappies for my second child! Show details

#1 Nappy for my family – Being first time parents it seems there's so many warning about every product and company. But funnily enough, 'what works for some doesn't work for others' work both ways and ; what doesn't work for some will work for others. We have tried Huggies, Little ones, Mamia, Baby love and Rascals. We found another brand would leave our baby with… Read more

what looked like he had 3rd degree burns inside his nappy.

We now only use Huggies and Rascals but my preference would be Rascals as it doesn't seem to leave as much fluff on his tip.

We had issues with other brands with major leaks and moving around on him and causing blow outs. We have not had any issues with my little one who is constantly kicking around when he is in Rascals. Which is a time saver on changing sheets!!

The only downfall I have is they are only sold at Coles, which in my area is a terrible shop to try and get into with a pram so I usually avoid that shop.

Terrible Leak from one wee better off buying the cheapest ‘no name brand’ honestly the pull up an the tab version I tried in TWO different sizes thinking maybe it’s the size. Baby wakes up drenched in urine no matter what fresh nappie on at bedtime wakes up drenched from toes to belly button. Show details

Gave my son a rash worse than any nappies we have tried. Had to stop use after about 4. Thankfully I used huggies overnight otherwise the rash would have been much worse. Show details

These nappies gave my newborn baby the worst chemical burn nappy rash. Nothing would clear it up until I stopped using these nappies and swapped to another brand. The rash was gone almost overnight once I stopped using these. Don’t know what’s in it, but my baby reacted badly. Her bottom was red raw and on the verge of bleeding for almost a week. These nappies are horrible.

So amazing! They hold really well, never have explosions, really good price and don’t cut into babies’s legs all tummy. Would strongly suggest buying these over Huggies(leakage) and other brands. My babies both wore these and very happy with them.

This thing is too small, and gives so severe allergies and harsh rashes. Avoid at any cost despite of being so expensive. Have mercy on your baby and try other brand Show details

We’ve noticed the nappy sticky tabs coming off on more nappies lately so I decided to write to Rascal and Friends as the nappies are not usable as they don’t fasten. Rascal and Friends has poor customer service!!! Did not reply or bother to respond and closed my complaint. Will not purchase again- Huggies or babylove it is.

I used to wear rascal between 2023-24. I find that the quality has dropped significantly. At least 5 of the 72 nappies I purchased had tabs that do not have adhesive. The nappies are also thinner - they caused overnight leakages - had to change sheets in the middle of the night for my 1.5 year old who sleeps through the night. The website’s… Read more

contact me page does not work which means they do not care about customer’s experiences?! Sorry never repurchasing your product again and you have enraged a time poor parent - i will report this to customer tribunal.

Terrible, instant nappy rash – Terrible. Have been using huggies at night and little ones from woolies during the day. Thought I would try the rascals nappies being marketed as a premium product since I was at coles. My son instantly got terrible nappy rash. Wish I had of checked other reviews before buying. Would have saved my money & my sons poor experience with these. Show details

Quality of product has turned to S#!@ – Used to swear by this product - past 2 - 3 months have experienced the worst quality. The strap on the nappy has no hold - the quality has without a doubt worsened and it's the most disappointing thing!!!! Show details

Please don’t put your bubba through it – Please heed warnings and avoid! I have tried everything and thought perhaps my boy had HSV. I’m a nurse who manages most things, but this was persistent and I became concerned with the spread. Even though it clearly wasn’t we gave an antifungal a go after an A&E after hours trip. That didn’t work, persisted another 1.5-2 weeks so I took him who… Read more

the GP who was concerned enough with it he prescribed a low dose steroid. Not something I went into lightly but by now it’s worse, nothing had changed (we started before they had “new look, same nappy”). After trawling dermanet I thought I’d just double check nappy reviews before I went gung ho to the Dr for further swabs etc. Now I’m at a loss as to what I will let touch my sweet boy’s skin. He is 15 months, nappy rash has never been an issue, now I’m feeling heartbroken I’ve been regularly changing him, just putting a fresh source of aggravation on. Will update once I’ve stopped using/ it’s cleared up :(

Stickiness gone from size 4 nappies – The stickiness had gone from a size 4 pack of nappies so the nappy wouldn't hold together. I advised Rascals with batch code etc but they refused to look into it as I no longer had a receipt. Show details

FAULTY and they know it! – Like everyone else, we discovered around 15 faulty velcro straps in a box of 72. Customer service were of VERY little help, asking us to 'assist with their investigation' by giving them details and a copy of the receipt, like that's going to fix their manufacturing issue. They know FULL WELL that their item is faulty and they're continuing to sell it, regardless. I'm taking this as far as I can, to consumer affairs and the like. Show details

Defective tabs – Defective tabs. Makes half the packet unusable. Love the nappies, stopped buying 6 months ago due to defective tabs. Started buying Huggies but recently bought Rascal & Friends (prefer that they are clean from harmful chemicals) hoping that they’ve fixed the issue but nope. Tabs still defective. Show details

Standard has well and truly slipped – I’ve used rascal and friends for both my boys and always loved them. However suddenly we are getting packs and find over a third are unusable as the sticky tab is faulty. Our family, like many others, are struggling in the current economy so this to me is like throwing money down the drain. I have contacted customer service with photos and… Read more

everything they asked and almost a week later I still don’t have a reply. I will be shopping a different brand from now on. Premium nappies my butt. They obviously don’t care about the standard they send out or value their customers.

All round good nappies – I'm disappointed to read the reviews here about faulty nappies and the poor customer service. Our experience with these nappies has been the exact opposite. We have never had any faulty nappies; perhaps it was a problem with certain sizes at a certain time. With our second daughter we had some problems with the nappies we used on our first.… Read more

Rascal + Friends nappies have been a saviour for us. The absorbency of the nappy is good as is the containment. She just turned 2 and very active, and there are no problems with the fit of the nappy coming loose or any leaks.

If you are having trouble with other nappy brands, give these nappies a go.

Very disappointed customer – I am disappointed with the nappies I bought. We feel that we are wasting money as the tapes break! The nappies don’t leak but what’s the sense if the tape can’t even hold the nappy together, worse, can’t even be used! It’s a waste. We are considering of finding better quality diapers. Show details

missing the tape at the back… – Frustrating that every second nappy pants in my pack has the long tape strip to keep the dirty nappy closed. Legit ever alternating nappy. Show details

Flawed product – Terrible, unreliable nappies. Out of a size 4 72 pack of nappies 15 have had the Velcro tab come off. When you can't rely on 20% of your nappies there is no point in purchasing from this brand. Show details
