Huggies are best for our baby!
We have tried a few different brands but Huggies definitely is the most effective. The only time our daughter has experienced nappy rash is when we attempted to buy a cheaper brand (Coles) - we won't be doing that again. The Aldi Mamia brand are pretty decent, but not as absorbent as the Huggies ones. Huggies are more expensive, which is a shame, but we'll be sticking to it because it saves money in the long run if we don't have to worry about nappy rash creams, doctor's visits or constantly destroying clothes (due to poo and wee) and blankets/...Read more
sheets. The cheapest way to buy Huggies is to bulk buy from Costco. If you're not interested in joining Costco or don't live near one, Big W is best. But keep an eye out for sales, if you stock up appropriately you'll never have to pay full price for them. Also, join the Huggies Club online and you can win prizes and nappies by entering free promotions. They're always giving something away so it's worth the hassle of filling in the online forms.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Rubbish Nappies - Don't fall for the marketing
Regardless of price these nappies are rubbish! I was happy to spend more if the nappy works well and made baby more comfortable. I fell for the marketing and thought these were more technologically advanced - so silly! My baby is of average size and weight with good thick newborn legs and they still leak almost every time- and not just from one place. So many unnecessary clothes changes and extra washing when compared to Aldi's newborn nappies. I never would have bought Aldi nappies if it wasn't for all the positive reviews but when your tired ...Read more
and sick of changing clothes unnecessarily you just want something that works well - you don't really care about the brand or price (of which Huggies are more expensive than most other brands we've tried anyway). Don't make the same mistake we did and buy a bulk buy box otherwise you will be throwing them away or trying to use them for other uses - they are no good as nappies! Wetness indicator has never worked once, leaves marks on babies body, leg seam cuts into his skin. Will never buy Huggies nappies again.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Not worth the extra expense now - changed design
First box we had was great, very few leaks. We're now on to the second box (just purchased recently) and have noticed the leg elastic has been reduced by half the width. They leak every time now. Not going to bother buying these"good quality" nappies now when you can get similar quality in other brands for less money. Very disappointed.

Worth the dollars
I used these with both children - worth the money. Never had nappy rash, holds a ton of liquid.
If your bub has skinny legs, then you need to wrap tightly, but you would with any brand. I like the quality and soft feel of these nappies. Worth the dollars.

Leak often, only for small babies
I was given some Huggies Newborn nappies from a relative and a colleague plus I purchased 2 boxes of Huggies Newborn before the baby was born as they were on sale at Woolies - big mistake. My baby was born 4 kgs and Huggies Newborn nappies were too small for him lengthwise (and around his legs) even though they say up to 5kgs on the package. The nappies were too short for my bub so they leaked almost every time. I gave away the package I opened to a friend and exchanged the 2 boxes I bought at Woolies. I currently use Aldi Mamia newborn nappies and they never leaked!

Good, but there is better.
I made the mistake of stocking up on these as Bub was small ( 2.9kg ). They leaked quite often and left terrible marks on his legs.
They only did him until 4kg and I have switched to Aldi newborn. They are fantastic. He is about the go up to the next size and I think I will be trying the Aldo brand first and maybe only buy a small packet of the Huggies infant to try.
These are only ok in the beginning for small bubs.

Not as good as they used to be
After a bit of a baby break (5 years) baby number 4 arrived. I bought a box on special - would never buy these at full price. Unfortunately I didn't think they lived up to their claims. My main problem was leaking which meant more washing that I really wanted to do. The wet indicator line probably has many first time parents changing nappies as soon as it changes - meaning they will probably buy more nappies = more money to the makes of Huggies.
I was perfectly happy to use another brand once these had run out.

Great nappies
I love them for newborns. They're absorbent and fits my baby well. No issues with leakage nor ease of putting them on (sticky tabs are fine). I love the wetness indicator but i can still live without them. The Winnie thePooh design is cute too. I don't have any complaints really- other than the price. I only buy them from costco or when on sale at the shops.
Absorbent, wetness indicator is cool
Expensive

The only nsppy I trust
After trying other nappies such as aldi. Snugglers, babylove and coles I found I always go back to huggies. They are the most absorbent and I love the fact you can see if baby has done a wee... Definitely recommend to others and this is the only brand I will trust! My baby has been doing explosive poo's and huggies is the only brand that doesn't leak!
Available in diff ranges, girl and boy nappy.
Expensive but worth it!

Not as great as a thought
Stockpiled huggies nappies for my newborn because I was told they were the best nappy, so I was disappointed when I started using them. While they are very absorbent and the wet indicator line is handy, I found them difficult to put on with the stretch top and they seem to leave a pattern on my baby from the nappy cells. Also they lasted a total of 2 weeks on my girl before she out grew them and we had to move to another brand of newborn nappy. Overall I wouldn't be stockpiling these again.
Very absorbent, cute pictures.
Expensive, size is very limited.

Recommend to others
These fit our bubs from birth weight of 2.3kg upto approx 4.5kg but didn't last to the recommended weight of 5kg, bubs is thin and long. The stretchy elastic keeps all waste in and they are very absorbent, we were lucky and didn't have any blow outs in these. The wetness marker is helpful and sticky tabs better than some other brands. The Disney characters printed on nappies are also very cute. Great purchase when on sale for $26.
Cute and absorbant
Didn't fit upto 5kg.

Have worked well for us
No real issues using these nappies. They are reliable and have only leaked once or twice after a very long sleep. They are bulky but seem to absorb well and contain even runny poop. They also don't seem to make a bad odor. The designs are cute and the wetness indicator is useful. They aren't all that expensive when you buy them on special!
Reliable and good value, hardly leaked and never caused any rash, often on special so fairly affordable.
Bit bulky, many people put off by price when so many alternatives are available, hope I'm not paying extra just so they can use Disney images on the products!!

Great reliable nappy
Used them on my newborn son. Very good absorbency (no complaints) only had leaking accidents twice when I did not put them on properly. Love the indicator it's a plus & other brands don't have this. Excellent for night time. These nappies did not fit as well when my son was getting close to 4 Kgs. They are very thick but I didn't mind it during winter time. The new technology ones worked better than the previous ones so I was happy with the improvement.
These nappies were highly recommended by friends. I would recommend it to anyone to use, love the indicator & they absorb well at night.
Indicator, reliable, great absorbency especially at night, love the new technology range
Bulky, more expensive than other brands but worth it

So overrated.
I was given these nappies by the hospital and for my baby shower. I would have to be desperate to spend money on them myself. Huggies really do not have any competition in the newborn nappy department as other brands that claim to be newborn size are massive on newborns so you don't have much choice but to use them. These nappies are bulky, I have used other brands that are just as absorbent with much less bulk, the bulk is a pain when trying to put them on because they don't lie flat. They are good for wetting but not dirtying, we have had man...Read more
y poo explosions. The wetness indicator is pointless because you have to undress them to see the wetness indicator, when you can feel if a nappy is full through clothes. They say up to 5kg but they really too tight after baby reaches 4kg. The new design does not draw poo away from baby, it sits on there and stays against baby's skin. They fit newborns, where other newborn nappies are too big. Poo explosions, bulky.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Good but not great
I predominantly used Huggies Newborn nappies for my daughter until she started growing out of them by 4 weeks. She is an average size baby but the snug fit of these nappies meant that they just don't last very long. The next size up is a mile too big for her too so I have to use a different brand for the time being.
I found that Huggies nappies cause nappy rash more so than other brands despite Huggies claims that they are gentle on baby's skin. Love the wetness indicator but not impressed with the absorbency, especially at night. Side leakage is a problem. Huggies are the most expensive on the market so I only buy when on special.
Wetness indicator very handy.
Price, absorbency not very good.

Poor Nappy
These nappies were brilliant 3 years ago. Now all they do & are good for is increasing the size of my laundry loads. I don't think my newborn has done one pooh that hasn't resulted in an immediate bath. I'm planning to return the 3 unopened boxes that I have & start using the cheaper brands that actually do the job. A very disappointing Huggies experience.
Expensive & not worth it

Overpriced Nappies that Rely on their Previous Good Name to Sell
We used these for our daughter and were unimpressed so changed brands. When we had our son, our other brand did not make infant nappies so we went back to Huggies. We put the constant leaking down to him being a boy and put up with the numerous clothing changes due to wet and dirty leaks. One day we ran out of Huggies and had some sample packs from another brand. It was only when we used these and there was no more leaking that we realised that the problem was in the Huggies Nappy.
Unfortunately, people still hold Huggies in high regard fro...Read more
m their glory days and so buy them thinking that they are purchasing the best for their child. You only need to buy any inexpensive non name brand to realise that Huggies are no better than these - in our case, they were much worse. Cute pics They leak, they are overpriced, poor qualitySimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Very happy
I am so impressed by these Huggies nappies although they are the most expensive. We got given some as presents and they hold everything in much better than the cheaper ones which we have found often leak at the edges. Trying to buy in bulk to bring the costs down a bit but would recommend them
high cost

Works pretty good
Works much better than some of the cheaper brands, although not 100%. We mostly used them at night and used cheaper ones during the day because we could change the cheap ones regularly. But they are probably a bit over-priced given how many you have to use in a week
More absorbent than cheaper ones
Expensive but get what you pay for
