  • Perfect for overnight dryness

    Wow first these nappies keep bubs bottom dry. It holds alot of moisture without leakage or leaving absorbent crystals on the skin.
    The wetness indicator line is great when wanting to check if bubs is wet.
    The Disney patterns are so cute and make a great addition to boring nappies.

    Overall would highly recommend these nappies to all.

  • HUGGIES ULTRA DRY

    I love the Huggies ULTRA DRY. I wasn’t sure if I could justify the cost when also nappies are half the price but these are twice as soft and very absorbent. They are nice and snug around the legs. Haven’t had a leak with these and my baby gets no nappy rash. Recommend all mums to use it. (you can see in the photo that she is happy wearing the nappy)

  • Can always count on huggies

    Since my son was born we have always used huggies and have never had any issues with rashes or leakage etc now my son is 4 and he loves the napoy pants especially overnight. He was comfortable and weve had no accidents. Would highly recommend to any new mum or mums that struggle with rashes or leakage you can always count on huggies.

  • Huggies Nappypants - an honest review

    The first thing that caught my attention when I opened the pack of nappies was how soft they were. They felt so smooth I was wondering how absorbent they would be and a bit sceptical about them as opposed to a nappy overnight. Well, was I pleasantly surprised at their durability and absorbency the next morning.
    Surely, I thought, I’ll need a barrier cream for a red and irritated backside though? Nope, guess again! Ok, the elastic would have bothered him all night? No, again and I was quite impressed with how strong yet gentle it was. Perfect amount of flexibility for dressing a wriggly toddler.

    Nappies are one of those things I thought I would never be impressed by. You use them and dispose them. Repeat. Huggies Nappypants have changed that for me. These are the ones I will recommend to everyone

  • Where have you been all my life?

    I wish I had discovered huggies nappy pants with my first child! I’ll never go back! So much easier to put on that a traditional nappy,
    Especially with a wriggly baby!
    I would recommend going up a size as my son is size 4 in regular nappies but had red marks and tightness around the bottom with nappy pants.

  • Soft material and flexi waistline and very absorbent

    These are my favourite nappy pants so far. Very abossrbent and great for over night use. The material is very soft and the flexi waistline makes it comfy so my son to wear. I’ve only occasionaly had overnight leaks after wearing it for about 12 hours and when he’s had a bit too much to drink before bed.

  • Decent for disposables

    I usually use MCN but had to use some disposables recently. I found Huggies Nappy Pants to be very absorbent. We had no leaks. They were a little difficult to get on but stayed in place well. They were also decent value as I found them on a half price special. Although I still prefer MCN, I would use Huggies Nappy Pants again if I had a need for disposables.

  • Huggies has always been my go to!

    I have been buying Huggies nappies and nappy pants since my baby girl was born. Other brands give her a nappy rash and i believe its because other nappy brands so not draw the moisture away from the skin like Huggies does and creates an environment for bacteria and wet skin.
    I will continue to buy Huggies,

  • Great nappy pants for wiggly babies

    Bought this nappy when it was on sale in woolies! I have to say this is a great lightweight nappy for use in wiggly crawling and active. babies as changing nappy im such active.can be such a challenge when changing nappy for my little one thus using nappy pants is definetely a great idea to be used in lying or standing up! So far no leakage for us using during daytime! Fingers crossed. However there is some red marks on little one legs from prolonged wearing overnight

  • Dry & comfy

    Our very active 14m/o put these to the test & they went really well. They left her skin nice & dry & seemed to fit really well around the legs & waist for no leaks, they also didnt leave any marks on her body where they might have been a bit tight. Overnight we found them to work well, they are easy to get on & off, we would happily buy these again.

  • Best baby nappies for day and night

    The Huggies nappies were always a great fit for my bub. The nappies never leaked overnight and never left marks/indents. My little boy was a premmie and has quite sensitive skin. These nappies were a godsend and I won’t use anything else! Thank you Huggies for getting it so right. Our precious boy is a happy and healthy and your nappies make it easier for us to keep him that way!

    Love the design on these and so does my daughter. They’re very absorbent and super gentle on delicate skin, never had any problems with rashes or irritation on bubs skin either. Definitely would buy again and I do. I don’t use any other nappies for my child. Huggies are definitely a favourite in our household.

  • Great fit

    Received them yesterday and was happy to try on my bubble as she is very wiggly and it is often hard to close the tab nappies because she opens it quickly. Huggies nappy pants are a great fit, super flexible and didnt left any mark on the skin. There is enough flexibility for leg area as well. The nappy pants are highly absorbent and was best for overnight and out side activities. Good front and back coverage. Totally recommend it.

  • We love huggies!

    We still use pullups for night time in our house and the value for money and comfort they provide is great! We use them for an older child as we are still having issues with toilet over night and they don’t smell, they hold a generous amount of wee ( though some nights they do leak!) We can’t complain and like huggies! I often try other brands when they are on sale but when they aren’t I do come back to huggies as they offer the best value/leak protection for our needs.

  • Happy to go back to Huggies

    My son is 14 months old and when he was a newborn used Huggies. We unfortunately had to switch to other brands from 3 months onwards as we found the nappies were too narrow and we would often get leakages.

    Trialling these nappies, we have found no leaks and no red marks left from the elastic overnight. Really happy with these and will go back to the Huggies brand.

  • Best brand of nappy pants

    I’ve tried several brands of nappy pants and always find huggies to be the best. I wouldn’t use the over night as my little girl is a very heavy wetter but during they day they are fine. They are so much easier than nappies when you’re trying to wrestle a 20 month old at change time.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

  • Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
