  • Still loving it

    I have been using the Palmolive Naturals Active Nourishment Shampoo and Conditioner for over a month now and I am honestly still telling everyone about it. My hair just looks and feels so much healthier. My husband is always commenting on how good it looks. It has given me such confidence because I have very thin hair which includes some very obvious thin spots, but this shampoo and conditioner gives my hair more volume which makes my thin spots a lot less obvious. I love it and definitely recommend it!

  • Still loving it!

    Second review: I’ve been using the Palmolive shampoo and conditioner set for a few weeks now, and I’m still very pleased. Unlike many hair products for ‘normal’ hair, this set has managed to continue to keep the Oil Slick of Doom at bay. That’s no easy feat. My scalp seems to think that it’s a McDonald’s chips oil cooker. On top of that, my ends are very dry, and they also appear to be thriving.

    In the photo I took a few minutes ago, while hiding from the kids, you see me after my hair was washed 24 hours ago. Given the ridiculous amount of sweating I’ve done today (also pictured urgh), the oil deluge has been contained relatively well.

    I will definitely keep using these products. Great value for money! Nothing lasts forever, but these huge bottles are going to give it a good go.

  • Love it!

    After using this product for 2 weeks my hair is the healthiest it’s been in a long time. I used to have a constant itchy head and bad dandruff leaving my hair really oily…after using this shampoo and conditioner my hair has a natural shine to it, is silky and easy to manage and looks and feels great!

  • Awesome product

    So after years of using a different brand of Shamppo and Conditioner I tried this for the review and I will not go back to the old product I used to use. I will definitely be buying it again after it left my hair all silky and smooth and looking like I paid someone to style my hair. Thanks so much for letting me trial this as it’s beautiful for my hair.

  • Great product!

    I will definitely be purchasing these again. Left my hair feeling healthy with a great shine. It has a really nice smell, not too fruity which I was worried about. I have combination hair so I wasn’t sure how my hair would go but I was pleasantly surprised. I recommend these products.

  • Budget but quality

    To begin with, the smell is magnificent. Fresh and crisp, just what you need to feel like you have clean hair. The shampoo creates a beautiful lateher. I’m a twice shampooer and you can really feel your scalp and hair to be very clean. The conditioner leaves your hair feeling silky smooth and fresh.

  • Strong, shiny hair

    I really liked the palmolive shampoo and conditioner. I only had to put a little bit shampoo and it was already really foamy and conditioner made my hair so nice and shiny. I would recommend both products to other mums. The bottles are big and last for a long time. Thank you for letting me to try them.

    Price is just right and usually goes on sale too. Palmolive does not stripped out your hair’s nutrients, it stays in their and help you achieve a manageable soft hair even during this unforgivable summer heat.

    I have quite thick, asian hair and I am mindful of the products I use. Palmolive did the job quite well with my hair making it clean and shiny! It smelled great. I received plenty of compliments on how nice my hair smelled. The price is excellent as well so I’m a frequent Palmolive user for this reason.

  • Refreshing shampoo and conditioner

    I have fine medium length dark hair and regularly suffer from an itchy scalp at the base of my head, usually managed with Head and Shoulders. I normally wash my hair every two to three days. After using this for a week, I can get a good and refreshing clean with one pump of the shampoo and two pumps of the conditioner. My scalp tends to start getting very itchy if I leave it for three days.

  • Really liked it

    I really liked my kids using the shampoo and conditioner. They were excited too. They loved the smell of it. The feel of their hair after using it was nice and soft. I was sceptical at first for my daughters hair as it is long, thick and curly. It felt soft after she used it. I was happy. Yes I would buy it again for my kids. I’m sure they will be happy to use it again too.

  • Pleasantly surprised

    Palmolive is a well known, long time brand here in Oz, I know that, but I’ve never really been a fan. The scents didn’t impress me nor did the results from using Palmolive. I have been surprised by these products though. They clean superbly and leave my hair soft and silky. I’m sure it’s improving my hair health with each use. And if course, the price of Palmolive is always family friendly. I’m a convert

  • Not the right product for my hair.

    I have pretty normal hair, but I found I had to use a lot more conditioner than I usually would in order for it to feel effective. I’d actually say even triple the amount. The shampoo was nice and worked well, but I won’t be buying either product again.

    Palomolive’s Shampoo and Conditioner was definitely a 5 star from me and also my partner who has been using it. My hair has been so much more softer, shinier and stronger since using it. We love it!

    I loved this on my hair. It thoroughly cleaned it, and didn’t leave it oily like some other brands. It gave it body and leaved it feeling clean and smelling great. I love that it comes in large bottles. It’s a great price and I would use it again and again.

  • Shampoo & Conditioner

    I found both products smelled great but most likely my hair type but i found my hair to have this strange feel to it not a silly smooth feel, it was greasy even after I washed, dried it even after using the product several times the results were the same. Would not by the same one again but would consider same brand but different but more sudible f our my hair type

  • Palmolive washed hair well

    Firstly I loved the 700ml Palmolive pump bottles as with 5 people in the house we go through a lot of hair washing products. So the bigger size is great. We also enjoy the outdoors which results in the need to wash our hair everyday. I found that the Palmolive Natuals Active Nourishment shampoo provided a great clean. However, the Conditioner didn’t detangle as well as others or leave the shine that it promised. But I would be open to giving another option in the Palmolive hair care range a whirl.

  • Palmolive Natural works a treat

    My hair has been strong, shiny and less oily since using this shampoo and conditioner. It works great and is easy to brush and style afterwards the whole family has been using this for the last few weeks and we are all happy with it and will purchase again and again.

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.

  • 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

    Reply

  • 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!

    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.
