Whats the go with nappies these days?

[BellyBelly]

We're going to start off with disposables and I am so out of touch with them these days. I used Huggies with my two - was the only one that would last and not give them nappy rash, but I have heard a few people lately say that Huggies have been giving their bubbas rashes and the Aldi ones aren't like they used to be either... so I am lost with what to buy, really need to start buying things but don't want to waste time and money on crappy nappies (pardon the pun!).

[BrightSparkles]

I use the ones from coles. Can't remember the brand but they are in a white packet. We've used these for ages and have never had a problem.
I also really like the ones from babies r us. Cheap but really good even for o'night.
From what i uderstand, huggies are now importing from china, not made in aus.

I personally haven't had any problems with huggies and still think they're the best but we've also tried the kmart ones that are $19 a box which with twins babies is great! But they started leaving through at night as they got older...were ok in the day but sleeping through 12hrs just wasn't working so we've gone back to huggies

I was adament that huggies were best when DD1 was little but she was in Aldi nappies by the time DD2 came along and we've never gone back.
The aldi newborn were perfectly fine as far as i was concerned, never leaked (aside from the occasional MASSIVE overflow, but i also got that with huggies).

Aldi or Kmart... works best for us.

I still love huggies have not had issues with leakage etc. Aldi I used sometimes with DS1 no issues, DS2 times I have used they have leaked.
Snugglers and Baby love never worked for my kids.

Safeway select and Coles brand (have gum nuts baby on them) have been good.

But I do tend to buy huggies as found to be great!

I have never had a problem with Huggies. Have used them for both my kids, and for over 7 years at work. Never had them cause a rash on any baby I have looked after.

[~~Snoogans~~]

Huggies all the way here Never have had a problem with them! Miss H NEVER got nappy rash EVER, until I tried her in a Pamper nappy...whamo! her lil girly bits flared right up!

We also tried the Aldi ones, as we were told how awesome they are....well, I couldn't get past the smell they have...BEFORE they go on bubs! I did try one on Miss H and again, she flared straight up in a rash..

Ahhh Huggies...I love you soooooo

My experience with huggies were they arent good for bubbas with chicken legs, my DD always leaked so we used the aldi newborns which we found great plus really cheap. Then we went with babylove (before the dry wave design) and they were good for a while then she started getting nappy rashes so we went between huggies/coles branded and aldi.

I now only use babylove as the new dry wave design is great shes not had a single nappy rash it hold a lot of liquid specially since my DD loves her drinks.

For the new baby i have a pack of huggies, aldi and woolies select to try and see what works for us.

Ive heard a few people say aldi are better for boys ds has used them since he was about 4 weeks old & we've been really happy with. I wasnt as keen with them for dd - bit of poo leakage (& she definitely doesnt have chicken legs ) but they're ok. Huggies have been good so far for dd but not happy with the coles brand. Havent liked babylove on either ds or dd (despite ds wanting to stop & talk to the boxes in the supermarket - they have the wiggles on them).

I think it does depend a bit on the shape of the baby/child

I never like Aldi or coles ones, they leaked and there seemed to be a strong smell.. Apparently the new babylove dri weave ones are just as good as huggies, but I haven't tried them yet.

It's a shame you can't just get lots of sample packs so you can try before you settle on one sort! I know with dd we bought a box of huggies before she was born & then worked our way through a few sorts - you go through them so quickly when they're nb

I've been using huggies overnight with DD3 and they've been great. Had some pooplosions when she was in the newborn size but hey, nothing was going to keep that amount of goo in!!

Good idea! I just checked a few websites (Babylove, Snugglers, Huggies) & they do offer some samples - I couldn't find newborn ones on the Huggies website (only swimmers and dry nights), but Babylove and Snugglers both offer samples of nappies.

[Santosha]

We use Huggies at night... little man feeds all night so is always full of wee. Huggies seems to be the only brand that can contain the bucketloads! We always get the size up for over night and very rarely wets through. Through the day, just use the Coles brand ones just to save a bit of money.

Has anyone suggested an of the Eco nappies???? Natracare at Coles. Seventh Generation Online, Growing Up Green online, Moltex online and Bambo Nature also online. THese nappies have less plastic in them, better for the temperature on babies bum. They have less chemicals and are not bleached. The an*s is the most absorbant part of our body so any chemicals put near there you want to be extremely cautious of,from what you have said about vax and homebirth, I would think that you make conscious choices when it comes to health for your child, so paying a little bit extra (which if using huggies there is virtually no difference) and getting something that has less chemicals and is better for the environment. I would also suggest lining the nappies with muslin or a flushable liner to have an extra layer away from the disposable nappy and then you can flush the poo down the loo where is belongs. As far as leaks go, all nappies can leak depending on how they have been put on, and each person has a different view of what a leak actually is to them. I would suggest putting a wool cover over the top, wool absorbs up to 40% of its weight in fluid and it evaporates while the baby is wearing them, over cloth the nappy doesn't get as wet, over disposables it will not add to the heat but regulate the temperature more, and it can wick the leak away from the baby without them feeling wet.

Huggies here for overnight and the first month or so till he fit into the mcn I have. He has chicken legs and skinny waist!! Whatever you decided to buy just buy a small amount of until you meet bubs and see what size, shape you need :-) I find baby love and aldi not as absorbent as Huggies!

[Mollie89]

We started out on Hugues, because we were given to massive boxes, but found that DD would have poop.explosions alot of the time.. And then we tried KMart brand which were good, until she started leaking at night...
Now we use Babylove and they have been the best. But I also think it depends on your bubba
