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!!

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.

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.
🚫 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.

A great compilation of tips for the new parent (and good reminders for even the seasoned parent!)
Dry, clean and comfy makes for a happy baby. And remembering that a baby’s skin is so very delicate, so it’s good to be picky about what you put on or near their skin. Enjoy your sweet babies!
All really good tips. I’m a big believer in not letting them sit in wet nappies for long. Even the most absorbent nappies are resting against their delicate skin and need changing. I’m also a big sudocrem fan. A thin layer applied to irritated skin does wonders. It’s natural for them to have nappy irritations but we can only do our best to avoid it
Really terrific advice. My daughter never had much in the way of nappy rash develop and I believe that because I did change her so frequently and we had a lot of nappy free time, especially in the warmer months of summer. Sure there is things to treat nappy rash but we all know prevention is best!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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! .
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.
