    We use cloth at home but my mum keeps sposies at her place for when she's looking after DS and always buys whatevers on special so it's a good way of seeing what's good and what's not. She recently bought Coles Dry Fit brand (green packet) which are really good....as good as huggies I reckon, but cheaper. They have a nice amount of padding, no leaks and a cute gumnut babies deisign There have been a few occasions where DS has fallen asleep in the car so we haven't changed him into a clothy when we got home and they have lasted 10 hours or so just fine. He's a pretty heavy wetter too.

    I tried everything too and Babylove new nappy pants seem the best for Tara and shes a big wetter at night. Huggies while good give her rash, Aldi's were hopeless on both my kids and they leaked no matter what size. Pampers are good however the crystals kept coming out,

    We use Huggies and my little one seems to be leaking out the leg holes - they're too big for his little legs. And if his little widdly is pointing up instead of down we have leaks out the top (still wearing L plates as parents!) Are other brands a better fit? Which ones?

    ok time for a dumb question from me, as I only have girls so far no boys, if you have a boy when putting nappy on does the willie go up or down? your post made me think Jleigh! just curious.

    Willie definitely down - go with gravity!

    I use Aldi during the day and Huggies at night. Aldi at night has never leaked but I think that bubs is drier in the morning with huggies.

    Could you try boy nappies? Or another trick my MHCN told me, using two nappies..........the first one you put on, you cut a slit through the middle of it, and then put an intact nappy over the top of it, ITMS. That way you get two layers to catch the wee! If it doesn't make sense LOL, let me know and I'll try to describe it better

    I would happily give you some of our Aldi ones to try, but I think they might be too big? I'm guessing she needs the Koala ones, and we have Kangaroo. Sing out if you want to give it a go. I think the Kangaroo are 12kg and up.........

    ETA I can drop some in today if you like

    I think sometimes it depends on the child, how it fits etc.. but ive found the current snugglers to be the best for DD.. followed by huggies..

    I bought the nature care ones the other week cause they were on special, and haven't had a leak from either child..

    I usually use huggies otherwise cause I only use them at night and to and from daycare. I find the others get too full, and the nappy breaks.

    Look up nappy mates. They're like disposable inserts for this purpose exactly. I bought a box over the phone and they deliver.
    Good luck.

    We are Aldi converts also. I have tried most nappies - my DD is a big night wetter - and Aldi's are the only one's that I have found don't leak - very full, but no leakage.

    We have been using Nature Babycare and my DS hasn't leaked at night, he was leaking in the Huggies so I thought I would try something different & environmentally friendly. And they worked!
