  • kushies review

    I wasnt sure about this brand of cloth nappy because ive only always used applecheeks and itti bitti. Quality was great. Theyre very simple to use and nice and absorbent for my heavy wetter. I would definitely purchse more cushies and recommend to other mamas looking into trying cloth nappies

  • perfect washable nappy

    I love these nappies, i use them when in home not when going out as they don’t cause nappy rash or the cost of buying disposable ones, its inexpensive, but only down side is making sure you have enough for your baby. Otherwise best cloth nappy

  • Cheaper, no leakage and good for baby's skin

    We’ve used multi-fit mcns from the start with my son and Kushies are one of the brands we use. Multi-fits are so cheap in the long run, we spent less than $300 to see us through to toilet training. The nappies look cute, we never have a problem with nappy rash as the baby’s skin can breathe and washing is easy once you get the hang of it. Another benefit is that we have never had a pooh explosion or leak, whereas friends who use disposables seem to get that happen quite regularly. I’d definitely use Kushies again and recommend them!

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE

    I had never used anything but disposable nappies and thought they were far easier and much more convenient to use than cloth nappies, but was actually given one of these in a hamper at my baby shower, and one day used it on a whim.. and have never looked back, just as easy and convenient as a disposable, baby has never had any nappy rash (that is why I chose disposables originally)
    Plus they have super cute designs. Super absorbent and leak free!

  • We moved house lucky my mail was redirected!
    The nappy is a little bit tight on my 21month old daughter the next size up would have been perfect.
    Im loving the nappy and liners though, its good that these can be used in a dryer as i noticed that depending on the weather they take a little bit longer to dry due to the inbuilt liner which i think is awesome, i like the fact that it already has the waterproof cover and they are so soft on our little girls bum must be because they are organic!
    The nappy liners are great too but we live on a property and can not flush these into the septic tank which i really wanted to try so we went to a friend house in town just to see how they went being flushed..so much easier!
    I would purchase more of these nappies they are one of the best cloth nappies ive used so far and it came in handy when i ran out of disposables and living out of town it saved me from a huge mess while we went to buy some nappies!
    Kushies in the bush!!
    Highly reccommend these to any parent or mother to be..love it i need to buy a bigger size so my daughter can continue to wear these and be comfortable in her correct size,.
    I think Kushies are worth the mess of having to wash cloth nappies they really are great!

  • BRILLIANT INNOVATION

    My daughter is due early august and we have been looking around at so many brilliant ideas, but this is one I think is fantastic, especially when there is not much bin space,……a bin full of dirty nappies when it only gets emptied every two weeks……….40 degree summer days……..I need say no more….I do think it is brilliant though that something has come up to meet the problem of disposable nappies and the cost…..well done.

  • Great designs

    I love clothe nappies. These nappies are easy to use, don’t leak or smell and compact. Some nappies I find bulky and the baby looks like it can’t move properly. You just have to make sure you have enough of a supply while washing and drying. I found at the beginning I was concerned with the cost of buying a complete set. I now understand why as my nappies have lasted me through four children, buying new ones here and there was less expensive than buying disposables each week.
    I hear people say gosh how can you do it? But that’s how our mums did it and it worked well for them, so I can’t see the big deal about people doing it now. I would recommend people hire some and try them out because they really are great. Then invest in a starter pack and you will never look back!

  • Saves so much money!

    It’s so much cheaper that buying disposable nappies and if your baby is prone to nappy rash these are the way to go. The designs are supper cute and they are so easy to wash, you just need a few on hand to make life easy on yourself. Best modern cloth nappies I’ve used by far!

  • Absolutey supurb Nappies!

    Although I wasn’t chosen for this review I have bought 2 dozen of them for my granddaughter and I got to say my life would have been so much easier had I had these for my 4 children, my gosh what a fantastic product.
    Light weight yet ultra absorbent, completely machine washable and able to be tumbled dry, just awesome!
    The amount I`ve bought will last her her entire nappy wearing years and than be used again for the next granny, if that’s not value for money nothing is!!

  • Why did we not have these years ago.

    I hate using disposable but did so for traveling. These have changed my mind as they can be washed and less bulk then nappies plus leak proof these have now replaced the other nappies for my two younger children. The fact I can use them on either sex is great too. Takes up less hanging space on the line the cloth nappies. My ten year can change her siblings without having to fold the nappy for use. Even have my older sons doing the changes.

  • Washable nappies are sooooo good

    I didn’t use non disposable with my first son but did with my second and was really surprised how easy and good they were to use, and I was saving the environment too! I didn’t use this brand (but wish I did, they are soooo cute!). No probs with nappy rash and they were so simple to use and wash. Would be great to see more non-disposable being used by mums

  • GREAT

    I used the same set of 20 Kushies nappies for all 3 of my kids – 2 boys and a girl and the nappies still have life in them! They are great from birth to toddler and the night nappies are a godsend. I would recommend these nappies to anyone looking for an all-in-one re-usable nappy as they really do work!! And they are comfortable 🙂

  • Nice MCN

    I quite like the trim fit of this MCN. Most I currently use are quite bulky and cumbersome for a baby trying to roll and move about. I like the designs as well. The only gripe I have is that it doesn’t last us overnight. I use a bamboo lay in insert to correct this and al is good

    I have never used washable nap pies with my older 3 kids but I took the plunge with my last son and I just loved them it’s a big out lay at the start but well worth the money as you will be saving on buying nap pies each week.

  • Modern Mums need Modern Cloth Nappies

    I was first introduced to MCNs when my second was 8 months old. With 2 in nappies it was getting rather expensive. We now have 3 in nappies and all MCNs. I thought cloth was too hard but for a little bit of effort its a lot cheaper then feeding the rubbish bin 50 cent pieces (price of a huggies nappy) and its better for my childrens skin, no nappy rash, and better for the environment too.

For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.

Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.

A rosé with summer written all over it

Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.

It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.

“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”

Women trying Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé.
A summer staple … on the lighter side

“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”

“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”

If your warm-weather wine rack needs an affordable new staple, this is it.

A Pinot Grigio you’ll be buying again (and again!)

For the white lovers, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Pinot Grigio is a solid everyday white that ticks all the boxes: crisp, clean, food-friendly and affordable.

Our taste-testers repeatedly praised how balanced and versatile it feels, whether chilled on its own or alongside simple meals and casual gatherings.

“We love a white to pair with our spring/summer lunches and especially our seafood. This option ticked all the boxes …”

A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for

“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”

“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”

Your lower-alcohol go-to

The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.

Find Chapel Hill Enlightened at Dan Murphy’s right now for $17.99 each.

  • The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.

    Reply

  • Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!

    Reply

  • Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.

    Reply

  • Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite

    Reply

  • I appreciate all the reviews and think this is an excellent way to get your brand out there and known.

    Reply

  • I like the sound of the Pinot Grigio and will look out for it next time I’m at the bottle shop.

    Reply

  • I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.

    Reply

  • I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.

    Reply

  • This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.

    Reply

  • It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.

    Reply

  • I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.

    Reply

  • The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!

    Reply

  • This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
