  • Tastes like nutella

    Having a nut free option is so important for a family. And also always handy for when friends or relatives visit and have nut allergies. This spread tastes just like Nutella and the kids love it. It is still a treat in our house but I feeling better serving this to them than Nutella
    I try to always have some on a hand. Or atleast buy regularly as it is handy to have nut free options.

  • A big hit for the young and old!

    We’re fortunate that my family don’t have any allergies, however after my niece was diagnosed with a nut allergy (epi-pen style) we wanted to source a safe spread for when she visits, and after tasting the PeaNOT spreads (both smooth & crunchy), I decided to give the HazelNOT a go. I’ve never allowed Nutella in this house, however my kids can now have a choc “hazel(not)nut” spread that I’m happy to give them. Far less sugar, way more protein, I would 100% recommend this to anyone – nut free requirements or not. Even I now enjoy a choc (not)nut spread. Delicious!

  • Surprisingly a great taste

    The HazelNOT spread is my personal favourite. I was very happy to give my kids this in their lunchbox as I know it wouldn’t be a problem with allergies at school. So happy we found something else to go sandwiches that my kids eat. I also used it in cooking to make protein ball, amazing taste. My whole family gave it the tick of approval. It’s a slightly “naughtier” option but the quality and nutritional factors of this spread are healthy compared to its competitor, Nutella. Delicious and healthy!

  • Two thumbs up from my kids

    I may be slightly bias with my kids review because I honestly don’t buy Nutella – too much sugar. My kids are always whinging for chocolate spreads and I was keen to try VGood HazelNOT choc spread for the nut free element for school but also because it is low in sugar. We tried it combined with the peaNOT butter and a banana on toast. Both kids asked for seconds and loved it. Was it because they never get choc spreads? Maybe. But either way, they licked their plates clean. Given the healthy ingredients, I’m happy for them to have this in their lunch boxes and after school too. Everyone’s kicked a goal in our house with this one!

  • So delicious

    This spread was so good I ate most of it off a spoon straight out of the jar. The kids enjoyed the little amounts I shared and begged me for more. I will definitely be buying this again, maybe only occasionally so the temptation to devour the lot is not right in front of me. The kids however would be happy for us to have it in the cupboard all the time.

    Myself and my children did not enjoy the taste of this product. I think it’s a great idea and would recommend it to anyone that has children with nut allergies. It was also very hard to spread

    Not as sweet and a bit deeper and richer in flavour. Very good addition to the spreads shelf in the cupboard. Very good and will certainly share and rave with people I know who can’t have nuts

  • The most delicious special treat!

    My daughter (1/4 kids) has several allergies and intolerances. The VGood HazelNOT Choc spread is AMAZING! She loves being able to have a ‘special’ as she calls them just like her older siblings, and it makes us feel good knowing she is included!
    My family will all be purchasing a jar to have at their house just for her!
    Thank you for creating this amazing product.
    Will be recommending to EVERYONE! It’s absolutely delicious

  • No but stress free

    I bought a jar to try as my primary kids love Nutella but cannot have it at school due to allergic students in class. No going back now, this taste chocalty and nutty with no nuts in sight. They were so happy to have it at school on their lunches. Win win

  • Great for lunchboxes

    This product is not bad but I thought it would be sweeter and taste more similar to nutella but I found it more on the bitter side than the sweet nutella / nutty taste I was expecting. It is a great alternative if allergic to nuts but not as much flavour, don’t know if I would use again.

    I was very surprised with how much VGood HazelNOT Choc actually tasted like regular peanut butter. It was very tasty and the kids happily had it as a substitute. and best of all the school approved!

  • Healthier alternative to Nutella

    This product definitely tastes healthier than Nutella and I would be happy to have my children eat this but they don’t really like the taste much – they say they can taste chickpea. I tend to agree but I don’t mind the flavour myself. My daughter is not allergic to hazelnut so she’s been allowed to have Nutella and can make the comparison with HazelNOT Choc.

    Also not having enough stickers to cover the lunchboxes for my children meant that only one could take it to school at a time and I didn’t bother with the hassle of explaining to teachers so I just gave it to them for breakfast instead. T

    hanks for the opportunity to try this product.

  • Great nut-free alternative to Nutella!

    Most importantly, my kids loved the taste of VGood HazelNOT Choc Spread, but I loved that it was palm oil & nut free. Nutella is banned in our house because of it’s use of palm oil, so it’s great to have an alternative that the kids love too!

  • VGood HazelNOT Choc

    I’m sorry, but I have to be honest, my kids didn’t like this one at all, so I tried it and also was not a fan of it. It was very dry and tasted more like bad peanut butter, left a terrible taste in your mouth. However, before trying it, it did smell good, but did not deliver on taste nor texture unfortunately.

  • Very dark chocolate flavoured.

    Found I didn’t like this product as much as the PeaNOT butter. Very dark chocolate flavour with undertones of peanut butter taste. Was expecting it to be more Nutella tasting than it was. Consistency was softer but still not ‘spreadable’ for fresh bread without ripping holes in it. Great alternative for a nut free choice but this one is not for my family. Great to see nut free products around for schools though.

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.
