I'm in the minority and have never had a problem with Huggies. I accidently bought a smaller size recently and only had a few leakages overnight. Tried Babylove onceand had nothing but problems with them. Might get a pack of Aldi's to see what all the fuss is about.
I recently bought a pack of the new Huggies ones and, first night, DD wet through and needed a sheet change. And there wasn't even that much wee in the nappy!!! I was so annoyed considering how wet it is here and I don't have a clothes dryer to hasten the wash/dry process! I've also found these ones leave a mark on DD - actually cut her skin!!!! But only on one side... poor kid. I'm seriously thinking of trying the Babylove ones as that is what CC use... and DD LOVES the Wiggles pattern!
If you can't get through to the stupid sales people, email them through their website and complain. I did once (because I don't have time to sit on the phone) and they sent me a replacement pack of nappies...
Maddy's definitely been leaking through her Huggies at night lately. We've given up on them (used to buy them as they WERE the best quality for her) and now buy either the Coles brand (the ones in the pink packets for girls) or the Babylove Wiggles ones. Couldn't use the latter when she was a newborn as they gave her nappy rash but neither of those two leak for her now that she's much older.
Honestly aren't so much of a fan of the Aldi ones...I find them a very odd fit for Maddy, but then again they're the one that daycare provide and I'm sure if they leaked etc, they'd buy another cheap brand.
I am about to buy some more Huggies, and of course, they are the new ones. I have been curious as to if they are still as good, now that they have changed their design.
I have tried some of the Coles Brands (cant remember if it was the actual Coles brand or the Baby love brand), and, have not found them to be very absorbant. However, that was when Aiden was having 3 - 4 bottles a day. Now he is only having 1 bottle a day, maybe they might be better.
I am hoping that Huggies is still fine for Aiden, i have him in walkers for overnight, and, on occasion, he will still wet thru it, maybe like once a month thou. I dont really know what to go to if he starts wetting thru the new huggies.
Grrrr huggies! We use cloth but i still havent found a really good overnight nappy so are in huggies!
No leaks ever untill the new ones!!!!! i still have some old ones and the difference is no leaks! The new ones dont seem to be as absorbent? Also the seem to shrink, when wet???? At first i thought i put it on wrong, ds wriggles alot when i try to dress him, but its obviously the nappies 2 nights in a row of leakage!!!!!
I dont like the aldi ones, ok for day use but not night!
Not happy jan! I am already sleep deprived and now an extra waking moment to deal with urgh! Off to find a good cloth night nappy!
Another one in the minority here.
We use Huggies overnight and have been using the "new" ones for a few weeks now for both kiddies and the only leaks have been when DP has put DD's nappy on and DS overnight sometime has huge wet nappies and still no leaks.
We use cloth but when I have used disposables I have found that the Natures Babycare ones have been great. They are stocked at our local Safeway (Woolworths) so they should be easy to get. I also have used the Seventh Generation chlorine free ones which I ordered from Nature's Child online and they were fabulous (although more expensive). So if you can't find the Aldi ones you might try these ones as an alternative.
Harrison has started to leak through his Huggies Nappies also!
This is the first time in 18 months that he has leaked through his nappies. I am really not happy at all, and I have been using Huggies (along with cloths) for over 14 years!
A big grrrrr from me! I think I will be popping them an email also.
As for babylove... we have bought these every now and then when they have been on sale and then thing I hate about them is that they really smell bad when there is the smallest amount of urine in them. Anyone else found this?
when i do sposies , its aldi , but ds always wakes with a wet singlet (tummy sleeper, so huggies work better for us )
but i do think aldi are ok , but i think the coles ones are crappy but i like the woolies select ones ..
and the aldi wipes are great value , but they are a bit dodgy , if you want one wipe you get 5 at a time , then you have to scrunch them back in the pack ... but we buy about 3 packs eack fort night , one for the bum one for the car and one for the house ...
I have noticed it too, AND the crystals too!!
If isabell didnt sleep thru, id change her nappy when she woke up, but she does, so i cant luckily when she leaks its usually only a tiny bit.

Renstar - I have only ever found the Aldi ones to be good once the girls were mobile. I tried the newborn ones and they didn't fit properly and nearly always leaked. Try them for yourself though as everyone has differring opinions.
I'm a huggies fan but I will admit that I haven't yet used the new design as I tend to stock up when they're on sale for $30/box. I'm down to the last box for DD2 so will find out soon enough if they're still good or not. I'm hoping they're on sale again in the next few weeks due to bub 3 being due soon... I refuse to pay $40/box.
BabyLove, Aldi and Snugglers... I'm not real fans but if the budget is tight I will buy them as a temporary replacement. DD2 likes the wiggles design on babylove and she also likes having wildlife animals on the Aldi ones (she calls them koala bum). I've always found it false economy with the cheaper brands as I will go through more of them than with Huggies and often have bedding and clothes to wash due to leaks.
Curl - Huggies are on sale at Target at the moment 10% off (til 27th Aug)
As of tomorrow they are on sale at Woolworths $35 a box i think is pretty good.
I love Aldi but only used them once DS was about 4 months old. He has gone up a size before his weight reached the maximum but he is a very chunky lad and I found this stopped leaking.
I love their wipes too.
and only had a few leakages overnight. Tried Babylove onceand had nothing but problems with them. Might get a pack of Aldi's to see what all the fuss is about.
