  • Best I’ve tried

    The lightweight thin bamboo nursing pads are the best I’ve tried. They stick and absorb well and the best part is they are soft on sore nipples and thin enough you forget they are there.

  • Super comfortable!

    I’ve always had a problem with oversupply while feeding my babies. I’m currently breastfeeding my 3rd baby and always had problems with other brand nursing pads either leaking or folding over during the night. I haven’t had a single problem with either of these things since using new beginnings maternity nursing pads. They absorb fast and don’t get lost overnight. They are very soft and comfortable and I like that they stay perfectly in my bra. I’m very happy with it this product and will be recommending these to my friends and family.

  • Absorbent soft light weight

    Some breast pads can be bulky and irritate my nipples

    I suffer from eczema and sensitive skin

    I found these to be light weight and kept me dry , did not cause any irritation
    And left me feeling dry and fresh between feeds

    I like the sticky back so it stayed in place in my top

  • Comfortable and discreet

    I have found these pads to be super comfortable, very absorbent and lovely and discreet under my maternity bras. I have found that I have been leaking quite a lot and these pads have ensured I have not leaked through my tops and therefore saved my bras. I have found using other pads that my nipples can sometimes stick to the fabric or surface after a leak. This is not the case with these pads. They are very comfortable indeed.

  • Love these breast pads!

    After increasing my supply using the New Beginnings breast pump, I found myself leaking increasingly however with the continued use of these breast pads, it didn’t matter! They’re so absorbent and barely felt like I was wearing anything at all. They last the whole day and sit well under most of my maternity bras. Such a wonderful product that makes one less thing for a mum to worry about!

    As a mum of twins girls my nipples got a rough beating daily! But these were leak proof felt incredibly nice and were not noticable at all under tight clothing. I’ve only ever used cheap ones, never will again.

  • Invisible comfort

    I have used new beginnings nursing pads for my last 2 pregnancies and I wish I had them for my first 2. I didn’t think they could get any better but to my surprise they have. These are so slim it doesn’t look or feel like your wearing them, they really do hold so much ( I accidently put one through the wash), and they stay to shape. Love them.

  • Good product

    I tried the new beginning nursing product which I liked very much. It was quite invisible inside my dress. It held good amount of breastmilk leakage. I did not get any rashes or itchiness using it. It was expensive than other similar product but I feel it was worth it. Nice product, highly recommended.

  • Holds an impressive amount

    I was using reusable pads for some time to be environmentally friendly but overnight I was leaking so much since my bub was sometimes sleeping through and my body hadn’t quite caught on. I was tired of waking up with a soaking wet top and didn’t have enough nursing singlets to keep changing so I started using these pads since bamboo is a more sustainable option. I’m very impressed at how much liquid it can hold and still feel dry. You can feel the weight of the liquid when you take it off after a day and it’s amazing. It does mean more waste but the bamboo is a bit better than other brands.

  • Absorbent, super adhesive

    I found these difficult to sit smoothly in my bra, the sticky parts are super adhesive which is good but I just had to be careful putting them in and getting the pad to sit flat. I had no issues with absorbency though so in terms of function they did the trick, no leakage at all.

    These nursing pads are still working really well in the way they soak up leakage whilst being really comfortable especially where I have a few blisters on my nipples and they are really tender from breastfeeding.

    They are still working well after my first review.

    I would say nursing pads such as these ones are a must for breastfeeding mums.

  • Great protection

    These breast pads were completely leak proof and very absorbent. I used these at the beginning of my breast feeding journey and didn’t leak through once. They are quite discrete under clothing I could rarely see them through my shirts and barely noticeable that you are using them. I would use them again and recommend to friends.

    Movie premiere, nursing pads in under a thin soft dress and the world couldn’t tell. Who wouldn’t need or want that feeling less like a nursing mother and more the sexy goddess who brought children into the world and still enjoy a night out with hubby. Added bonus they are soft and feel amazing against the nips.

  • Best breastpads I've ever used!

    I’ve spent 9 years of my life breastfeeding one baby or another so I’ve tried A LOT of breastpads in that time.
    I have a huge milk supply and just the thought of feeding my bub can cause a let down so I’m very fussy about using breast pads I can rely on.
    First thought on seeing the New Beginnings bamboo breast pads was that there was no way these were going to cut the mustard. I mean they are wafer thin, so I tried them first on a day I was hanging around home.
    To my absolute shock they stood up to the test!
    I’ve also put them to the test overnight when I often leak the most and still they performed faultlessly.
    They are so thin that you could wear them under even the tightest clothing without a problem.
    They are soft and silent unlike other brands that have an annoying crinkly sound. These stay put with 2 tape spots and remain flat even after pulling your bra up and down during feeds. Best of all they remain feeling dry and don’t swell up and go clumpy when wet.
    After being a faithful customer to another brand for almost a decade I’m sorry to say I won’t be reaching for their box on the shelf anymore but will be switching to New Beginnings bamboo breast pads from now on.

    Ive been using the regular new beginnings nursing pads prior. I tried these and thought that although thin and convenient I did much prefer original thicker ones as I had alot if let down so needed that t extra cover.

    So soft and amazing and incredibly worth it! No one would even notice you’re rocking breast pads under your tight clothing. Very leak proof and comfortable. I’ll only used these breast pads for future babies now. I’m convertered, and not just saying this to post a good review to get picked for more reviews. It’s the truth, try them for your self

    I love new beginning nurse pads I used them firstly 2 years ago And have been using them again with the arrival of my baby.

    I love the softness and feel of them. They are nice and thin and gentle on my skin.
    They seems to soak up the milk without leaving you with a damp feeling

    I have found others to be thick and scratchy, with irritate my breasts which are sensitive to certain materials.

    Best nursing pads on the market!

  • Love love love these!!!

    I love these breast pads! Finally someone has made thin yet highly absorbent breast pads! As a larger breast woman I had trouble finding a breast pad that was discreet and didn’t leak, I was sent these to review and when I first opened the box one of my first thoughts were “these won’t handle an unexpected let down let alone a leak” and I was quickly proved wrong! I love how these stick to your bra, it’s so hard to adjust a breast pad in public quickly before a milk letdown!
    One thing I was a bit disappointed with was the (to me) unnecessary packaging, each pad is wrapped up individually in plastic. It’s probably a hygiene thing but for me it seems unnecessary.
    I love how you can’t tell your wearing them, especially in white tops. They are a great size, especially for larger breasted women (I find most breast pads too small)
    They are gentle on sore nipples and are still absorbent even when using a nipple cream.
    Would highly recommend these to all breastfeeding mums! Definitely a must for your hospital bag

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.

*#1 choice in Australian hospitals based on sales data.

  • 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.

    Reply

  • 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.

    Reply

  • 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!

    Reply

  • 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.

    Reply

  • 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! .

    Reply

  • 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.
