First impression is good, big box that can last long. My toddler loves the print, and no more struggle for me to change him just because of that!
I picked size 10-15kg to try for both my 3 years old and 8 months old. It is amazing that both can fit in the same size.

So many nappies in the box and the koala print is adorable. Little miss loved them too! They were quick and easy to use with great absorbency! The only thing I would change would be to maybe size up as they’re a more compact fit. Other than that would definitely recommend!!

I loved using the new hugs and bubs nappies for my little girls ! Oddly the one size fit them both!
I loved that they have a cute koala print , there super soft, absorbing, no latex or lotion and perfume free ! They also have a wet line indicater that is yellow and turns blue when soiled !
Best of all that they are Aussie made !

Have been using these nappies for a week now and have been impressed with their absorbency. They’re soft to touch, fit my toddler well and it’s great having the wetness indicator. The nappies feature a cute design too! Size wise they’re not as large as some others but I sized up for my son so they fit fine.

These nappies are very absorbant with no leaks even during those longer overnight stretches. Love that they are proudly Australian made. They are also affordable to buy and even cheaper with a subscription. Big thumbs up from me that they don’t contain nasties such as formaldehyde, latex, elementary chlorine, perfumes or lotions. I would happily recommend these nappies to other parents.

We’ve been using these all day & night for the last week & they’ve been great. No leaks, easy to fit. The one month supply would definitely let us longer than a month. I love they are Australian made. Nightly recommend.

My first compliments go to Amazon for an amazingly fast delivery.. they delivered the product faster than I clicked yes. So impressed. My new bub arrives in December so to test the nappies, I have used one nappy. The nappy was dropped with slow water initially and after 3 normal drips, I did a big water drop on it. The wet indicator immediately changed colour. Impressive. I love the fact they are Aus made. Also I noticed the elastic band will be perfect for my bub. I tested the elastic on my older son’s arm lol… It was a bit funny. But yes no red lines of the elastic. I am quite confident it matches the qualities of a good nappy and I will be using the subscribe and save option. Test for yourselves mums and see the quality.

During size selection there was a disclaimer to size up if unsure. We are currently using size 5 of other brand and it’s a bit big yet comfortable for my son. Hugs and Bubs size 5 is for 13-15 Kg but my son is only 12.5 Kg so I felt confident that choosing size 5 is good for him. When the nappies arrived I immediately thought that the nappies look small. When I put it on to my baby, it almost didn’t fit but we’re lucky it still does. We’re at the very end of the strap. Since the nappy is a bit fitted on him, I was concerned that he may develop rashes or redness but amazingly, he didn’t. I also felt that the material used are really soft and gentle on skin. For long hour or even overnight use, we didn’t experience any skin problem. As for absorption, it is very good too. No leaks or material tearing down after up to 8 hrs of use or overnight. I’m really happy with the quality and if only they’ll have nappy pants, I may switch as it has a very competitive pricing too. I recommend this to moms just make sure to size up.

Awesome nappies made in Australia no added nasty chemicals super absorbent and very nice price I would definitely recommend these and have already bought some more!

I bought a months worth of these from Amazon as they were cheaper then the huggies I usually buy and I’d seen they were on here. I dont mind them. They are a slightly smaller fit size wise compared to the huggies but they havnt leaked once so far. They look pretty comfortable on her aswell.

These nappies are wondering. They didn’t leave any marks on my son’s skin and the designs were eye catching. Definitely done the job and would definitely recommend.

Good fit, no leaks, no nasties and Aussie made: perfect choice!
I have been looking for a while for Australian made nappies and that are gentle for little ones skin. I tested this brand recently and I am very happy with it! It is the exact right fit for my toddler, no leaks at night, ticks all the criteria to make it my regular nappy brand! Cute koala design and convenient large packaging is another plus 🙂

I’ve never heard about this brand before but after reading this article and all the reviews I really want to try it. I wish I could have one for trial but I’ll give it a go. I rated according to the reviews and the confidence that the reviews gave to me.

I was gifted some of these nappies to try, I was just going to test them of a day and stick to my usual nappies at night but my husband put one on for the night and to my surprise we woke up with no leaks! Definitely would use these again.

I’ve saved the nappy box for my soon to be born bub… In the interim here’s what I found… The box is soooo cute and my older son thought it had some toys in it lol. The size is impressive and you don’t need to get two boxes of nappies for one month’s supply.. this one box at a cheaper price and great quality will do it all. I have done a test to try out the nappy capacity before bub is here just to review it. It feels soft and holds good amount of liquid but I’m not too sure about the gooey newborn poo. Stay tuned for more.

I got the size for my newborn since my toddler had already given up wearing nappies. My baby is in size 2. Hugs and Bubs nappies are true to its size and fits my baby well. She feels comfy wearing it and I love the koala prints. However, since newborns have wet poo most of the time, it doesn’t hold well poo explosions. My bub kept on having leaks – let’s say in 6 out of 10 nappies. I was a bit disappointed with it so I won’t make any switch anytime soon.

We were so excited to trial this new brand! My toddler loved the super cute Koala design so we had no problem with the change. No leaks or rashes. I also love how they non toxic. Stretchy brand and wet indicator is another plus however I would size up as they are a bit on the small make. Thank you for choosing us to trial them. We are super grateful and we will be recommending “hugs and bubs” to our family and friends. xx

It is great seeing an Australian made nappy with so many bonuses, like having no formaldehyde, no latex, no lotions or elementary chlorine and no perfumes plus the benefit of buying direct from Amazon for door delivery on a matter of days and such big boxes so you aren’t thinking about nappies for a month at a time but as by this age, your littlies is a wriggler, it would benefit to have the nappy as a pull up to make it easier to put on bub instead of chasing them halfway around the house each change time

Great absorbent nappies, no nasties & Aussie made for the win
Loved our trail of the Hugs & Bubs nappies. I found the nappy really hugged my daughters body well, never leaked and had great absorption for overnight dryness.
Loved the fact that they don’t contain any nasties for babies skin and love supporting Australian made products. These nappies are reasonably affordable on Amazon & delivered straight to your door super quick. A large box such as the ones we got could last us a whole month. Would defiantly recommend and purchase again.

I tried these nappies with my 2 year old. They worked quite well. No leaks, but I felt they didn’t hold as much as other brands. They also seem to run on the small side, so order a size up just to be on the safe side. Designs are cute and bubs always felt dry on his skin even when the nappy was wet.

We were fortunate to try these Hugs and Bubs nappies for the trial. I’m pleased to say we actually really like them and will probably keep using them rather than going back to our previous big brand. We are big Amazon.com.au shoppers so having them available there, delivered with our Prime delivery is great! My little on is 15 months, and only 7kg so for her size she just gets into the 6-11kg Crawler size 3 nappies. She has a lot of room to grow in them so I think she will be in them for a long time to come. We like the fit indicator so we don’t get them tighter on one side than the other, plus the wetness indicator helps too, this is available in most other brands. I’d never heard of the brand before so was a bit apprehensive, but am really happy with them.

I was super skeptical when being asked to review these nappies. We have had a lot of trouble finding affordable nappies that don’t irritate our little ones skin; and I’m so excited to be able to say these were on point!!
The nappies themselves are soft the the touch, have a good amount of stretch and flex in the waistband and appear to move with the body.
The wetness indicated is great for those times your not sure, and the nappy itself has not leaked once!! Not once!!!
At approximately 27cent per nappy they’re excellent value for money.
My only one criticism is that they’re not easy accessible, and I do wonder if I would go to the effort of ordering nappies separate from my daily shop, and having to wait for delivery.

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Banana Boat to bring you this article.
Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
