    Sorbies?

    Anyone tried Sorbies? I noticed a sample pack at Coles for under 3 dollars at Coles so thought I would give it a whirl. Considering I like Huggies, these are pretty good!

    I have seen the TV ad but not the product in the shop yet. I would only ever use huggies on my girls, nothing else compared in quality, so I will be interested to see peoples comments on how effective the sorbies are.

    I used Huggies on my kids too but am now an Aldi fan - and the Huggies this time around seemed to have gone down in their quality IMO.

    If Sorbies are competitively priced I would try them - haven't checked them out yet ...

    Im with u samiH. Huggies have definatly gone down in quality. Bodhi wakes up wet 9 times out of 10 with them now. Aldi have also become my favorite. They are the only ones which will keep him dry for a whole night.

    I have tried sorbies. Wasnt impressed at all really. He still woke up satched each morning with the night time nappies.

    I tried Sorbies and DD woke up within 3 hours of having the night nappy on and the nappy was soaked through...not leaking out the sides, leaking through the nappy! I sent an email to complain and got a phone call within an hour of sending the email but the line was bad, then got a phone call a few hours later but unfortunately I was too busy to talk. They were going to call back last Monday (on my work number) but I was off sick. I must email them again. I can say that their customer service is good and they really want feedback so they can improve their nappies. They are going to replace the pack I got in case it was a bad batch and then want more feedback.

    Yes!
    I bought them this week for DS cos $$ was a little tight and we think theyre great! The only nappy he would not leak from at night was Huggies. Well he hasnt leaked once with any of the Sorbies! I like that they have night nappies to contain that extra wee. Theyre cute Looney Toon prints too.

    So, so far we give them a big

    Danniellabella.. yeh maybe you just got a bad batch. Ive never had that problem with DS and he pees like a fire hidron!

    They seem to work ok so far, but I have not had a poo in one or used the night nappy. Will update when I have tried them overnight.

    I think Sorbies is only in coles, bilo & IGA stores. Aldi are from Aldi (I don't know if you have any Aldi stores where you are but I know in Adelaide/SA there aren't any and I'm not happy about that!

    I want to give these a go too - having serious problems with huggies overnight.

    Another unhappy WA girl here who doesn't get aldis!!! Very annoying when everybody raves about them and we can't try them.

    Let me know how you get on. I'd definitely be interested. I think we're supposed to be getting an Aldi's here but not for another 6 months or so.

    Tried Sorbies on my DS 6mo, the night time ones lasted well overnight and didn't leak which I have had trouble with Aldi's nappies before. Had one leak from a day time one but DH had put it on and it wasn't necessarily put on properly. I'm usually a huggies fan but I would use these again, especially if they were on special, I got ours from Coles.

    I'm so glad to hear about all these positive experiences. Perhaps I did just get a bad batch. I sent another email to their customer service about my complaint asking them to ring me again.

    have thought about trying them as well. Aiden will wet thru the huggies over night, not all the time, but, has the last 2 nights. Lulu and Myson - im with you, i get sick of hearing how great Aldi is, but, we just cant get it over here. I have heard they are coming, hopefully its before i have 2 in nappies.
