whats the most absorbant one on the market?? huggies??
DD2 is wetting through after feeding before bed and once early in the morning, im not keen on changing her if i dont have to as im worried it will wake her up more than i need!
i currently use snugglers but IGA have huggies in special so was wondering if its worth getting a box just to use overnight??
I find huggies great, mind you I haven't really tried anything else so don't really have anything to compare to iykwim?
huggies or pampers.
ToysrUs have huggies for 29.95 at the moment but there are only 2 in Melb so not sure if you are near chadstone or maribyrnong.
Different sposies fit different babies better (just like MCNs) - i find woolies select good as well.
DS was a very ehavy wetter, and wet through huggies even for a while there. I remember having to stick pades inside his nappy (with holes poked through to the nappy) to boost them over night sometimes. Being a tummy sleeper did not help either.
Aldi here!! Very absorbent. Never a leak and VERY full in the morning.
Aldi here too, never had a leakage used them for almost 2 years.
I keep trying other brands but always end up going back to huggies they fit well and the girls don't seem to get a nappy rash as often. You can also buy liners if the nappies still leak and the next size up is too big.
IGA have them for $29 as well! tummy sleeping is our issue! :rolleyes:
might try the huggies then aldi again if the huggies dont work, thanks lovies
I tried nearly every disposable with DS1... he'd wet out of everything! - and then I tried Aldi's brand! They are the best ones ever! and cheap too! If I were to go back to disposables it'd be hands down Aldi! (I personally found Huggies to be the absolute worst!)
i do huggies overnight, and usually in a larger size than day, (as long as it is not too big). find them the best sposies for nighttime. and my ds is a tummy sleeper, but the bigger nappys come up higher and do help contain the wet. I also put a fleece cover over them which helps too...
We used el cheapo's during the day and huggies at night with DD1 to save on constantly paying the extra for huggies. we tried all other brands at night but huggies wer the only ones that worked for us
My kids wet through everyone except huggies (unfortunately for my budget). I use snugglers during the day and huggies overnight.
Hun, I think Aldi are better for absorbency! But that might just be DS?
J- i use the Aldi ones with the koala on them on ds2 (green packet) and find them great.
If she's a tummy sleeper, have you tried a boys Huggies nappy for overnight? They are more padded out at the front.
If you're looking for cheap nappies I find Nappy Land great (you can google them). I get two big boxes of 128 huggies (so 256 nappies in total) delivered for under $100, definately makes huggies a lot more affordable and saves the hassle of always having to buy them and lug them home cos the order lasts me nearly 6 weeks. HTH
Aldi for SURE at night, during teh day i use pampers..
Huggies would have to be the worst on my list for absorbansy.
Aldi all the way for us. I have tried everything from huggies to woolworths brand and aldi are by far the best brand I have used. We use baby love in the day and aldi at night. Both my kids are heavy wetters at night and the aldi's are FULL by the morning, but never leak.
Yep, Aldi all the way for us too. The only time we've had overnight leaks is when DH doesn't do them up tight enough :rolleyes:.
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.
blah the huggies leaked too!! might pop a PUL cover over the top, will try aldi when i need more!
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.
LOL Mishca.......it goes down.
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.
im thinking i might chuck a cloth insert inside the nappy tonight and see if that helps! that or start getting ehr to sleep on her back as the back is dry... front full and leaking up tummy!
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 :)
janie i have some boy nappies (coles ones) but teh fit is terrible on them, maybe i'll give it a go though! im not keen on using two nappies cos they already cost too much!! i bought the 10-15kg hhuggies ones and she out pees them!!
are you going out this arvo?? if you are id love to try an aldi one but dont worry if your not heading out!!
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.
TBH it looks like she'll out pee anything at night :rolleyes: last night i added a cloth nappy booster and it didnt leak!!!
thanks everyone for youor help and suggestions
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.
If you're around the hills at all drop by and i'll give you a koala aldi and a boys huggies to try
ive tried most, but ive found snugglers wer ethe best, tho all the ones ive tried work well with the absorbansty.. its just that nearly all the others give her a rash :(
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!
