Rascals Premium Nappies Toddler
Verified74 reviews
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
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.

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
Improvement? – They supposedly made some improvements to their nappies but it is apparent that the new ones are of lesser quality than the old ones. The outer layer has become thinner and loose, which causes leaks. I have to say this is a major misstep from R&F and they will lose many customers including myself. The one on the left is the old one and the other is the new one in the pic. Show details
Positive reviews
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.
The best nappy brand – My son has been wearing these nappies since being a newborn. These nappies have never leaked unlike other nappies I tried during the newborn stage. Show details
Premium nappies, affordable price – We've found since using the size 4 unisex rascal + friends nappies that we haven't had any leaks or rashes. The do exactly as they should and we love the design! Show details
Negative reviews
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
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
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
Last resort – Same as many reviews on this page. Bought a box that every nappy had an issue with the sticker tab. It wouldn’t lift and one side of the nappy was completely unusable as it had no stick. Went through nights of customer service (only active throughout the night hours) and provided them photos everything they asked. Last query, needing a receipt I… Read more
didn’t have. It’s a grocery shop from two or three weeks ago - very unrealistic for a young busy family (let alone anyone) to keep these! Have lost my faith completely in this company.
DO NOT BUY – One star even seems to much for these nappies! Bought these nappies to try , my son had it on for about 40 minutes and when I changed it he was red raw and had chemical burn. My son has never had nappy rash before today. Needless to say we will not be buying again. Show details
Please don't use – This is the second review I have left on these nappies my last review was two years ago when the changed the nappies from good quality to cheaper materials 2 years later they asked me for further details on my review I tried the nappies on my son to give a new honest review and omg never again please don't put your baby through this all the nappy rash reviews are correct! Servere nappy rash and chemical burns don't risk it! Show details
Fine for leaks but gave my son nappy rash – We’ve used other brands before (both cheaper - Little Ones - and more expensive - Huggies Ultimate) and these are kind of middling in terms of leakage / blowout prevention. However, they’re so bad for nappy rash. Just one day of wear and my bub’s bum was red and spotty. I hadn’t had this issue with other diaper brands. Won’t be buying again! Show details

Worrying outcome – I was having trouble finding my preferred nappy brand in the shops the last few weeks so started looking at other brands. Not a Huggies advocate, I noticed rascal and friends - dermatologically certified, no lotions, no latex, affordable.. why not!? So, purchased 2 packs of the nappies for the excellent price of $22. Started using them and within… Read more
1 day my child has developed a terrible rash on his behind. My boy's health has been excellent, he's been an all-round resilient kid and we've never had nappy rash or anything like this before. I quickly switched him back to my preferred brand (tooshies - excellent nappy, albeit significantly more pricey) and the rash disappeared overnight. Super disappointing that a product that has allegedly been dermatologically tested could bring such a quick negative result. Obviously pricing and advertising/package wording doesn't matter at all with such a result. I'll never buy nor endorse this brand and am disappointed in the outcome.

Horrible, causes rashes – I used this nappy 2 days in a row and my daughter is currently having bad rash around her genitalia. She is screaming each time she does a wee. Taking her to the doctor tomorrow. Poor quality product. Show details

Never again! – I decided to try these nappies as Coles had no Huggies in the size I needed. Within an hour of my son having them on, he had what looks like burns in the creases of his groin, above his reproductive organ and skin peeling off his testicles! He was screaming and screaming. Once putting some sudo cream on a huggies nappy, he settled. He had no rash or redness before putting that first little rascals nappy on. Never, ever again! Show details

Wrap your kid with tissue paper instead – These nappies are useless every single night I’ve woke up with my kid soaked through all the bed soaked it’s so annoying I kept thinking maybe it was my fault maybe his Willy was sticking out but no they are just awful expensive and awful you would literally be better wrapping them in toilet paper it would still soak the bed sheets but at least you haven’t paid for the inconvenience.

Something has changed – These were our favourite nappies but something has changed and now they give my son a severe rash after just having it on for half an hour. Such a pity because I really loved them before! Show details

Do not use these on your baby – I bought these as I couldn’t get to Woolworths to buy the nappies I usually get. My baby had it on around the house for 20 minutes and suffered a horrific burn. Then I read the reviews and have seen it happens a lot. She is in pain and very sad about it. Avoid Show details

Somethings changed! – These were my favourite nappies. My only compliant would have been supply as I found it hard to get size 6 anywhere. However in the last two months I’ve noticed these are now leaking and my little girl suddenly has nappy burn. Something has to have changed because these were good.

Horrible chemical burns – I got these for my daughter because they were on special and had coco melon, even after my niece a couple of months ago had severe reaction to them and had blisters I gave them a chance and my daughter instantly got burnt hot nappy rash from wearing them, never again disgusting they are getting away with this.

Avoid avoid avoid ! – Loves these nappies but have noticed a big change, such a disappointment as both the quality and packaging have gone to poo. We were huge Huggies fans for all our 3 kids, until they changed manufacturing to China, we then switched to R&F that same year with baby no.3 which was 4 years ago. Now having our 4th baby in March, Coles had a sale $10 for… Read more
a pack of nappies and of course we stocked up, purchased over 40 bags of nappies in different sizes. Soon after we noticed rashes, smells to the nappies after a we change and sides of the nappies sticking to bubs skin. I checked the packaging and realised that these were no longer made in NZ but now in China. Now we're suck with nappies we can no longer use and have moved onto tooshies instead as they're 100% no nasties in them and cannot say the same for R&F anymore.

Leak everywhere – Have had a few poo explosions and I’d say these nappies have leaked at least 4 times since we bought one Unisex pants packet. This is after only a few hours too. I’m never buying this brand again. Huggies pants are so much better Show details

What happened to these nappies?? – We have been buying these nappies for years but something has changed in the last year or so! The nappies absolutely stink when worn overnight. This never happened in the past! Also, they leak sooo badly! Another thing that never happened in the past! I changed from Huggies years ago because Huggies changed their nappy and this started happening… Now it’s happening to R&F! Show details
They gave my son chemical burn! – We got these because we were hearing such good things about them. After 2 days of using them, my son had chemical burn on his reproductive organ and balls! I can’t post the pictures, but they’d break your heart. Show details
