As you can imagine being a single parent I tend to use all vouchers that fall on to my doormat, Huggies I have to say are very good at providing these, at usually, a time when you need to buy some nappies.
To be honest I do prefer a more well know brand but was happy to use Huggies.As my daughter is now over one year I feel I have given Huggies a reasonable test drive. Initially they seems almost on comparison, although I personally found they quite ridged,
The Super flex nappies appear to fit well, as my daughter has an ample thigh, and I have found that with nappies that do not stretch I need to buy a bigger size, these however as I said appear to fit well.The main problem with these nappies is the increase amount of laundry as they leak constantly requiring a change of clothes.
Other nappies can leak overnight, but these leak every night, and through out the day. In the last week, she has gone through more pairs of tights that thought possible.It is not that these leak at the legs or allow certain substances up the back, but the nappy itself is not waterproof, and just leaks through.
Initially I did not have this problem, I cannot imagine that my daughters’ bladder has changed so much over the last couple of weeks, she is now in size 4+ but the smaller sizes were ok. Previously it was not essential that I went running for the changing mat but now I have to, surly they should be able to hold more than one wee, before leaking through to the chair.Not only that, but they now fail to keep her skin dry leading to more soreness, and the need to use creams, which I can avoid with other brands.
Unfortunately I have several packets to use up but will be thinking again before buying these in the future, regardless of how many vouchers they send me.

I agree, these are a total disaster. Just got some free samples of their new pull-up ones so might give them a go but not convinced with Huggies at all. Prefer cotton ones but when needs must, Pampers are the best. Clare x

I agree, everytime I use huggies my daughter gets an almost instant attack of nappy rash, usually resulting in tears & tantrums when I come to change her - The only exception in their range seems to be the pull-ups - Even some of the supermarkets own brand nappies are better than huggies. - But I think I'll stick with pampers - Karen
