Woolworths Select has designed a nappy range to help keep your baby dry at each stage of their growth. The soft and stretchy sides, wrap around and hug your baby, allowing for a closer fit and freedom of movement, helping to protect against the risk of leaks.
The range has a three layer technology – three layers that are designed for fast absorption, by drawing and locking liquid away from your baby’s skin for protection and dryness.
The Woolworths Select nappy range is suitable for girls and boys, and are fully breathable allowing air through to leave your baby’s skin comfortable and dry and are dermatologically tested.
Something I would use for an emergency, prefer my current brand, and if I had no other choice I would buy but would consider others first. Woolworths once upon a time nappies are awesome but these I am not sure about, girls don't really like them, leak a lot and just not happy :(
My children are fortunately out of nappies so I am out of touch, but I had to look after my niece, well what a fiasco, I had always used huggies and found them great, they were absorbent, very unlikely to leak, and the sticky tabs worked. My sister said that she was trying these new nappies!! well they seem to be tighter than the other nappies she had been using, so I think the sizing must be different, I had difficulty getting the tabs to stay stuck and they leak if the child wets, it even leaked during an afternoon nap, night time she was soaked as was all the lined etc, so it actually caused more work than the savings, they are cheaper but not the cheapest, My sister and myself will not be buying them again, they are cheap and cheaply made and just not worth the effort
I have used these nappies and I don't like them, they are cheap but they are also cheaply made. They are thin, they leak, they only hold one wee and then it is dangling down at their ankles. The Velcro straps break, or break off while you are trying to take nappy off. I have nothing good to say about them. I can however recommend a much better budget nappy that is as good as huggies. Comfy bot, its only $11 for around 50 nappies (depending on size) and they are just great quality, don't leak, don't hang (unless lef ton way too long) don't break. I love them.
I like these nappies, mostly for day use as they are not as bulky as some other brands and I put that theory towards (hopefully) the comfort of my children. Although they are not as expensive as some brands, they are not the cheapest either, so I believe for the mid-range they are great.
I especially prefer unisex nappies, too. I feel that the absorbency coverage is beneficial.
I tried these nappies at the baby expo in melbourne. I found them to be not as bulky as the usual brand that I use. I guess this makes it a more comfortable nappy. No issues, no leaking. I would have to try them a few times to make sure they didn't leak. They had them on sale for half price, that was great value.
These nappies are fantastic value and do the job. I have never had an issue with leakage although sometimes overnight I feel they don't succeed in completely keeping the moisture away like Huggies do. Having said that I have friends. Who use these nappies for Day and night time andante have any issues. I have also found they do smell a bit weird so I tend to keep them for day time use.
I was brought two packets of these for my 2 year old son and my four month old baby girl.
The ones for my son held up well, contained everything throughout a busy couple of weeks. The only problem I had with them is the tabs are too easy for little hands to open them.
The ones for my daughter, didnt hold up so well. The leg section was just too baggy, even though the nappy was a size too small.
Good product for its price. However I would recommend the coles brand for cheap but great nappies.
I was not overly keen on these other than for spare or day nappies especially for newborns.i found these leaked a bit and I had to change them pretty frequently.i have used coles brand nappies too and I definitely prefer them over these
ok for a day nappy as long as they are passing solids as i found this nappy leaks which is not fun to deal with. i grabbed a few packs when they were on special for $7 each as i hadn't tried them before and it was such a great price. they are decent quality but i don't know why they leaked for poos but not for pees. give them a try when they are on special and see how you go
My daughter started getting blisters from Huggies nappies when she was about 6 months old, so based on a recommendation from a family member we gave the Woolies brand nappies a try. I have found them to be as absorbent as the Huggies nappy (without the horrible blisters), and they last her the whole night (good, as she is a heavy night wetter). That being said, as she started getting to the upper end of the size/age range, we did have to go up to the next size a bit early as they did start leaking at night, but I am pretty sure this would have been the case with any kind of nappy. Going up a size did the trick (i.e. no more night time leaks), so overall I am very happy with these nappies, and have been using them ever since.
These are much cheaper nappies but they work just as well as some of the more expensive brands. I have a 3yr old who is currently learning to use the toilet but still needs a bedtime nappy and a 1yr old in nappies full times. They work well for both my kids and i havent had them leak or break like some other cheap brands have. I love that im saving money but still giving my kids the quality they need in nappies!
My daughter is 2 and toilet trained but we just put a nappy on for bedtime. These are great, fantastic value for what we need. I can recommend them especially for 2 year olds
I use these nappies and I have found that I have never had a leak yet! They are a reasonable price nappy and fit great and absorb just as good as the more expensive brands
i love these nappies, they are a better fit on bub as hes a bigger baby, in the %90 for length and hight. i find huggies dont fit well as hes bigger and he has more leaks in huggies. i love the stretch tabs so they have a snug fit and dont cut into his chunky monkey legs like baby love ones do. but every baby is different and may not have they same experience as we did with the other brands, but for my little boy these nappies are the way to go
I first got a sample at the Baby Show in Sydney and then I started using them as I found them great for day and night. My litlle man is in the 75% for his weight so I found that huggies just didn't fit him to the weight they say, where as the wollies ones do. They are cheaper than the babylove nappies and I prefer them to the pampers that although are thinner at night time they don't trap the smell and a light bit of moisture does wick through to what they are wearing. My one year old is very happy in them and no nappy rash either!
These nappies are FANTASTIC!!!! As good as Huggies but cheaper!!! Since I got them to try from MOM, I have been using them for my now 19 month old as our primary nappy. I also now use them for my new little one (now 8 weeks old). They are great! The absorbancy filling works/reacts differently than the stuff in Huggies that I'm used to so it took a little while to get used to it and know when it was full, but that would be the case any time you changed nappies. Love them and recommend them to everyone!!
I was meant to be posted some of these to try ages ago but never received them for some reason. (it may heave even been as long ago as last year).
Anyway I was by chance doing my shopping in woolworths a few weeks ago and these were on special. Big box for $20. I got a box in both my son and daughters sizes. I loved them for my son they fit well and were very absorbent. I was not happy with them on my daughter at all. Poor fit and not absorbent enough. Really goes not show no nappy will suit everyone.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

After something a bit more mature? Bentgo’s Modern lunch boxes are a great option. They have a sleek matte finish in a choice of four stylish shades, including Mint Green, Orchid, Dark Grey and Navy. Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

Not bad for a budget nappy.

The ones for my daughter, didnt hold up so well. The leg section was just too baggy, even though the nappy was a size too small.
Good product for its price. However I would recommend the coles brand for cheap but great nappies.
