Introducing the Always Discreet New Zealand Mums Review! As women we’re always after products that make us feel more confident and comfortable going about our daily lives.

Something that can sometimes make us feel a little uncomfortable (but shouldn’t!) is urinary incontinence, also known as bladder leaks. We all know a laugh, cough or sneeze can cause a little leak from time to time, or for some, complete loss of bladder control – but don’t worry it’s more common than you might think. One in four* Kiwis experience incontinence in some way during the course of their lives.

Which brings us to our latest Always Discreet New Zealand Mums review from the world’s #1 Feminine Protection Company**. New to Australia and New Zealand, the Always Discreet product range has been created to support women experiencing bladder leaks. Always Discreet want us all to feel more confident and comfortable going about our daily lives, and not worry ourselves about bladder leaks anymore!

Always Discreet features a unique line-up of feminine bladder-leak protection products, including liners, pads and underwear (in a range of sizes) to meet individual needs.

Always Discreet products are better suited than a period pad for women who are experiencing bladder leaks, simply because bladder leaks or urinary incontinence involves different types of fluids and odours in comparison to menstruation.

Always Discreet consider themselves a top contender when it comes to products available on the market for urinary incontinence or bladder-leak protection and here’s why:

  • The Always Discreet range provides incredible protection from bladder leaks and are surprisingly thin
  • The Always Discreet range feature breakthrough technology via a super-absorbent core that turns liquid into gel and locks in odours
  • The Always Discreet range is discreet, helping you feel more comfortable and confident going about your everyday life

  • Are thin and discreet for a better fit

    The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the smell…. oh my gosh they smell amazing and fresh. They’re thin and discreet, and absolutely perfect for light bladder leakage (if you’ve given birth you might be able to relate!). I also really liked how the entire liner sticks on to my knickers, therefore doesn’t have any flappy bits that fold or wings. Highly highly recommend. I’ll be switching to Always Discreet.

  • GAME CHANGER FOR ME!! A MUST TRY!

    I began having issues with bladder control 2 years ago when I would cough or sneeze and got to a point where I could prevent some instances if I had a moments notice I could hold it in with squeezing.
    After i accepted that it would be less stressfull to try using a party liner than hoping for the best I tried a few of the popular brands with varying protection levels and lengths. I found that ALL were uncomfortable, they scrunched both in terms of width and length without providing the necessary strength or coverage of the adhesive meaning that even when using them at home there was no guarantee the pad would remain in place and provide enough coverage with 1 popular brand that wasn’t absorbent at all with even the smallest leakage would just run off onto the underwear, which i even tested using water. The frustration was endless, UNTIL….
    I received the Always Discreet package and success! They are a perfect length for sitting or standing in any position, they also ave a stretchy elastic type edging inwards, the adhesive covers the whole underside and is wonderfully strong. Takes a couple of seconds to place it and once properly stuck down to underwear I can be confident the liner will remain there! No more scrunching in at the sides creating an uncomfortable bulge down the centre either from the inner cotton moving under the top layer or the entire pad providing no protection whatsoever which requires constant replacement.
    I have found THE ONE! I am so happy with ALWAYS DISCREET that I have thrown out all packets and remaining pads from other brands and from now on use Always Discreet exclusively. I had to pass on a sample to my mother and she is just as impressed with this product as I am.
    THANKYOU to MOUTHSOFMUMS & ALWAYS DISCREET FOR SHOWING ME THERE IS A FUNCTIONAL, RELIABLE AND COMFORTABLE SOLUTION TO BLADDER LEAKAGE.

Article Mums Reveal Their Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips

Mums Reveal Their Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips

Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.

Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.

One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.

We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.

Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums

What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.

1. Nappy Free Time

“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.

We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.

2. Change Nappies Frequently

“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member

Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.

3. Use A Barrier Cream

“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes

Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.

4. Choose Gentle

“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F

Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.

Nappy Rash Myths & Facts

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies.
✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.

It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.

🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies.
✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.

Huggies’ Rapid-Dry™ Technology absorbs wetness instantly, reducing irritation risk.

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation.
✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.

  • My first born had terrible nappy rash and ulcers from acid urine and none of the specialists prescription creams did anything. I finally used Petroleum Jelly and it cleared up his skin very quickly and kept future rashes at bay. It is cheap and easy to use and works the best of anything.

  • Any redness can be resolved with a tub of Sudocrem. It’s a cream that smells like lavender. Very pleasant and usually works quickly within the first application.

    Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

  • I had issues with my son pooping a lot as a newborn. Sometimes it can be really hard to keep the rash at bay if you have a child that is constantly doing that. There is some acidity in the excrement and that can cause burning before it’s even been against their skin for long. I used to use paw paw cream on him and that worked best as a barrier.

  • Nappy Rash can be so raw and painful and i always worried so much when our babies had a bout of it. I remember trying so many things but always found good old petroleum jelly used regularly would help in keeping it at bay. There are some great suggestions in the article.

    Reply

  • I did find that not all nappy rash creams are as good as each other. After trialing many brands I settled on Sudocrem as the best for me and my baby. Changing nappies frequently and air time is also very important.

    Reply

  • There are so many common sense tip in this article and they are tips that we followed. We kept everything as natural as possible on very soft and sensitive skin. We went with plenty of nappy free times and we were very fortunate to not encounter issues with nappy rash.

    Reply

  • This article describes very much what we always have done: frequent nappy changes, plenty of bare bum time, no fragrances also not in soaps and a good nappy rash cream. It can become more challenging when your child has diarrhea; in which case bare bum time becomes more complex and the skin more irritated in which the gentle washing with warm water, patting dry with a soft cotton flannel and good zinc cream is more important

    Reply

  • Even though I agree that prevention is key, I also think it’s important to have a good barrier cream to hand to help at the first signs of trouble. There are lots of good brands, you can pick any really that suits your baby’s skin. But use it liberally when you need it!

    Reply

  • Yay! First time seeing my own comment in an article! *happy dance*
    But yes, i do swear by changing their nappies as soon as it’s soiled. It’s what worked for us for both children! We always go prepared and change either before going out, during or in the car boot if we really had to

    Reply

  • Nappy rash is horrible and prevention is definately better than cure. This is a fantastic article with some great tips. Especially the changing of the nappy frequently. Unfortunately sometimes especially once they’re on solids and their poops get yucky a little nappy rash can be unavoidable in which case a small amount of sudocreme clears it up quickly.

    Reply

  • We found that changing nappies frequently was key for us. And once the kids starting sleeping for long periods at night, we started using the really good quality nappies – Huggies, as it happens – while cheaper nappies were still okay for the day and frequent changes. Nappies do vary! .

    Reply

  • This is a really great reminder that nappy rash can happen but there are some great tips to help try and avoid it. I use to do a lot of nappy free time with my daughter when we were home as she had sensitive skin and I layered the barrier cream on all the time, especially at night.
