Mums, we can’t wait to bring you the Huggies Ultra Dry Review! When it comes to looking after your baby, providing the best care and comfort is key and one way of providing comfort to your little one is by making sure they’re comfortable in their nappy.

This is why we’re so excited to bring you the Huggies Ultra Dry Review so that you can try the Huggies Ultra Dry Nappies for yourself, and see how they work to keep your baby comfortable and dry during the day and throughout the night.

For the past 30 years, Australian parents have relied upon the protection and care of Huggies Ultra Dry Nappies. The nappies are designed to keep baby dry and comfortable both day and night, and now feature Mickey and Minnie Mouse designs, that are both stylish and adorable.

So why do so many mums choose Huggies Ultra Dry Nappies?

Huggies Ultra Dry nappies are the only nappies in Australia with tailor-made absorbency for girls and boys. Because absorbency needs differ between genders, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappies have tailored absorbency where it’s needed most. Up front for boys and lower down for girls.

Huggies Ultra Dry unique DryTouch® layer features bubbles of softness which instantly absorbs wetness and springs back dry in seconds, keeping bub dry and comfortable. Clinically proven to help prevent nappy rash, the Breathe Dry® Cover allows fresh air to circulate around baby’s bum. With up to 12hrs leakage protection, you and bub can sleep through the night.

The stretchy waistband with large grip tabs provide a soft and secure fit just like a hug and soft cushioned leg elastics help prevent red marks on baby’s delicate skin. Plus, a handy wetness indicator changes colour so you know when it’s time to change (this I must say is one of my favourite features!).

Huggies Ultra Dry nappies are made from gentle ingredients, with no added nasties, including formaldehyde, elemental chlorine, natural rubber latex of other chemicals restricted by Kimberly-Clark. See the Huggies no added nasties list.

  • Best nappies

    Since birth my now almost 3 year old has always been in huggies nappies. They are the only nappies that don’t give him nappy rash, don’t leak and are comfortable around his little legs. I particularly like that they are gender specific so he has extra absorption in the right area for him. I can rest assured that he can sleep all night and the nappy won’t leak, the 12 hour claim is spot on

  • Love them!

    The nappy design is super cute! They’re so soft. It held all of bubs wee with no leakages whatsoever! No explosions at all. I usually buy cheaper nappies but I have already brought another 2 boxes of these because they’re so good! Definitely a happy mum here! Sizing is great too for my bub

  • No leaks!

    We normally use cloth nappies but using Huggies Ultra Dry during wet weather has been a lifesaver! They are the only disposable nappies we have found that leave my son comfortable and dry. It’s good to know at night when I put on his nappy, that he will not wake up due to being wet and will still be comfortable by the morning.

  • Great absorbency and a nice snug fit!

    We have recently been using the Huggies Ultra Dry Nappies and have been so impressed. There have been no leakages and are perfect for overnight sleeps! They are such a great fit and don’t leave and red marks around the legs. I’m so happy with these nappies and will definitely be continuing to use them and recommend to anyone who has little babes.

  • Huggies Ultra dry nappies

    Ive had 4 kids and i have tried EVERY other nappy available and none come close to the quality, fit and they are always comfortable never leaving red marks.
    And Huggies nappies will actually clear up babies nappy rash or skin irritation because they draw any wetness off babies skin leaving them dry.
    Huggies have always been the best nappy and will continue in the future

  • No leaks!

    Extremely happy with these nappies. Never experienced leakage overnight. My daughter loved the Minnie Mouse design, though I’d love for the designs to be a little brighter! Love the blue change indicator. Definitely will be recommending these to friends and will be purchasing at the shops!

  • No leaks and cute designs

    These nappies are seriously the cutest! The patterns are adorable. They did not leave behind the fluffy lint stuff that other nappies do and did not irritate my sensitive babe’s skin. My Bub’s bottom was kept dry all night and most importantly, there were no leaks! We will be repurchasing for sure!

  • Keeping my son protected since day 1

    I absolutely love Huggies ultra dry. It has been with us since my son was a newborn and I was never been disappointed ever! These nappies really gives my son 100% ultra dry protection all day and even all night. Huggies ultra dry has not let me down all throughout my journey as a first time mum and I am really glad this is the nappy I chose for my son from the time he was born.

  • The best nappies

    Hands down the best nappies. They’ve never leaked and don’t smell. The fit is perfect and doesn’t leave marks. I love the convenience of then too. If I have another child I will continue using the same brand. It’s been trusted in our home for the past two years and will continue to be.

  • Would recommend but keep on eye on nappy rash

    I always used Huggies for my first child and did the same with my second.
    With my first never had problems and really liked how the waist band wraps perfectly around the waist, and also around his legs (he was a very skinny baby and never had a leak through that area), give me peace of mind at night, knowing that my baby would be dry and no leaks. I also loved the design as I always had a soft spot for Disney.
    With my second child, on the other hand, all was the same up to nappy size 2, when I changed to size 3, gave him nappy rash and had to stop using them. I don’t really know why this happens depending on the size, I tried 3 different packages of size 3 and it happened the same with all of them.
    I will give it a go to size 4 when the time comes.

  • Would recommend for day use

    I would highly recommend this product for day use but found that it didn’t hold pee for night time use. Even with regular checks on my son at night time it didn’t give me the peace of me mind that he would stay dry at night and remain asleep so would wake up once he had heavily peed.

    I found the nappies slightly thinner than they use to be and in the mornings the wee smell was really strong.
    In saying that though they are the best nappies for night time and I wouldn’t use anything else.

    My bub is quite a heavy wetter and these easily lasted overnight. Only time he’s leaked is user error when the legs weren’t done up tight enough. Minimal nappy rash, feels good quality. Cute designs

  • Life saver

    I’m glad I had these on hand over this crazy weekend we’ve just had, we usually cloth nappy. They do the job well but they wouldn’t be my go to or the first I’d buy. Many other more natural, chemical free and better biodegradable ones in the market that I’d feel more comfortable using. But they did come in very handy and we’re put to good use, so thank you

    This is a great product and has great absorption, no issues with the sides pulling/splitting easily, cute little designs on the front.

    Only downside was that my little one seemed to have worse nappy rash with this particular type but am still happy to purchase other huggies product!

  • So reliable!!

    Loved these nappies!!
    I found them so reliable and had no leaks at all while using them.
    The nappies were very absorbent, even overnight and left my daughter’s skin dry.
    I found the fit of the nappies perfect and there was no gapping around the legs and they didn’t leave any red marks.
    Definitely will be buying these nappies again!!

  • Best overnight protection

    Huggies Ultra Dry never disappoints. Keeping my toddler comfortable and protected specially at night means so much to me because a good night sleep for him means a relaxing night for this mumma. I trust Huggies Ultra Dry so much I would recommend it to my friends and fellow mums anytime. It is always on our shopping list and I will not switch to any other brand. Thank you, Huggies!

    Two comments on the packaging:
    1. The handle built into the package is so handy, you can carry it separately to your main shopping, saving space in your shopping bags.
    2. The outer plastic packaging… nappies create so much waste already, surely the outer packaging could be recyclable, or made from recycled materials?!
    Very thick, sturdy nappies from a well known brand, although they are above the price i would pay for them.

  • Ultra dry and ultra thin

    On first inspection, my husband (Northern American) commented that the look and feel were similar to the cheap, plastic, less durable nappies that are solid in Northern America. To me, I just felt like there were finally ultra thin (well, a version of) nappies. I liked that for a sleep deprived Mumma like myself with a bubba who likes to make nappy changing a “interesting” time because she would prefer to be eating her toes, I didn’t have to think about making sure the frills around her legs were out when I put a new nappy on her – I need to do this with normal Huggies nappies. Let’s be honest. Most of us are responsible for our baby’s poonami because we rushed a nappy change, leg frills got caught and poo leaked. I did not have any leaking poo or wee with these nappies. Like normal Huggies nappies, I trusted these nappies for overnight to not need changing and to survive! Because let’s be honest. When bubba is waking 5 times herself, I’m not about to make that longer by changing a nappy.

  • The best nappy in the market

    I’ve always used huggies with my little ones. I have tried other brands and nothing is as soft and absorbent as huggies. I find they have really good elastic waist band and around the legs which helps with stopping leaks without cutting off circulation or leaving red marks. I’ve never had any issues with rashes on my baby so I’m super happy with huggies. Yes they are more expensive than Aldi our home brand but worth the extra $$$ in my opinion. I will trust huggies with all of my babies

  • The best, most reliable nappies!

    Love these nappies, huggies is great for absorbency and no skin irritation. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy them again. The amount they can absorb in respect to other nappies is quite significant. No leakage, no dampness to the skin. They don’t smell offensive. Would recommend to other mothers in a heart beat.

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.
