  • Love that my clothes smelt like an Oriental Kiss!

    Prior to being selected to review Clean sensitive washing powder, I had been given a bottle of Soften oriental kiss by my mother in law. I have been known to stand in the aisle and select my fabric softener based on fragrance- so it’s safe to say that I’m fairly picky about the scents that I choose. As you could imagine, the first thing I did upon receiving the bottle was open it and take a whiff. So far, so good, but would the fragrance remain on my clothes after they were dry? I have been known to ‘break up’ with softeners in the past because they failed to do this. Soften had big shoes to fill, and it delivered! My clothes came out smelling like roses! (actually more like oriental kiss, but you get what I mean ????).
    The fragrance remained on the fabric, and my husband didn’t complain that he smelt like a lady. When I found out the price, it was the icing on a very delicious smelling cake! I made sure this product made its way into my shopping list.

  • Best Product for Sensitive Skin

    My husband has a couple of skin conditions and we have tried a dozen different products and the Soften Sensitive has been the best yet. His skin does not seem to react to this product. I would thoroughly recommend this range.

  • Fabulous value for the money!

    I love to use Fabric Softener for all my clothes, linen and towels but have been scrimping on some items because of the cost …. Soften is not only an effective product but a great cost saving too! At a fraction of the cost of other fabric softeners, it delivers big time! Cost savings, effectiveness and scent – it more than exceeds my expectations! I’ve finely found the perfect solution to my laundry needs!

  • Beautiful fresh smelling laundry

    I’m so glad to find Soften Island Oasis Fabric Softener. It has the best smell by far and stays in the fabrics. Towels smell wonderful and feel so soft. The first time I used Island Oasis Fabric Softener, I had a bag of clothes that I had washed with Island Oasis Fabric Softener in the car. After parking and getting back into the car I could smell the clothes. It made my car smell good too! Very easy to order using Woolworths online shopping. Gets delivered to your door

  • Soft, Fresh & Great Value

    I trialled Soften Island Oasis Fabric Softener and was pleasantly surprised at the results. My laundry smells nice and ironing was easier. I have been using it for 3 weeks now and I am very happy with the results. This is not a scent that I would usually purchase but it is quite pleasant my personal preference would be Soften Sensitive, which I have now purchased and will continue to do so. Soften is great value for money.

  • would buy in the future

    Back to review now I’ve finished the trial product. I haven’t noticed any difference in softness compared to how my washing was before using this (I don’t normally use fabric softener.) That said, the fragrance is lovely compared to no fragrance at all and doesn’t affect any of us with our allergies so a winner there. I will considering using it again in the future, solely for it’s fragrance.

  • I just love the smell

    This is the 3rd week I have used Soften Island Oasis and can’t get over how lovely my washing smells. Because it was raining here in Queensland I dried my clothes and towels in the clothes dryer. My towels were so soft but still absorbent. My clothes are so easy to iron. So for me this is such a versatile product

  • Great lasting scented softener

    I love the smell of soften sunny glow softener and the price. This product is long lasting . I really love getting the kids clothes out and having the lovely scent of sunny glow. I will definitely try the other scents too. They all sound delicious!! As my three year old said about our clothes.

  • Leaves the washing machine gluggy and slimy.

    This Soften fabric softener did make my towels and clothes soft and smelling lovely but my washing machine did not appreciate it. The soften range is no different to any other liquid fabric softener when it comes into contact with the mechanics of my/your washing machine. If you have ever seen inside the drum etc you will know what I mean. It’s Epsom Salts as a fabric conditioner for me and Epsom salts cleans the machine as well as conditions the cloths …washing soda is also good but its Epsom salts for me and my valued washer.

    I have never smelt my clothes more amazing or felt them so soft, i picked one of my jumpers out of the pile today and couldn’t stop sniffing my jumper, smelt so fresh and clean, it was amazing and the towels have never felt more soft and revitalised, will definitely be going into woolies to buy this softener from now on, i think its become my favourite!

  • Subtle smell

    Product reviewed: Soften concentrated fabric softener sensitive. I don’t usually use a fabric softener as I don’t want to add more chemicals to my wash. Whilst the smell is subtle and fresh – a big plus – I have not noticed my clothes feeling softer or a change in my child’s eczema. I am not saying that this product doesn’t work, I am just noting my observations.

    The best softener out there! I can’t recommend this enough. The whole house smells divine and the scent lingers on clothes in the wardrobe and drawers. Strangers have even asked which perfume I’m wearing! Everything is incredibly soft and wonderful. I received some for product testing and bought more. Absolutely love it!!

    Im in the grocery store at least twice a week and didn’t even know this brand exsisted until I seen the reviews on this page! In all fairness I either have my tribe with me or I’m alone so I’m worrying about my tribe, mum life haha. But I thought I’d try it out for myself and I’m loving it!! I actually can’t believe how cheap it is for how well it works and I haven’t really been a fan of fabric softener because I’ve been let down before but this definitely restored my faith.

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.
