Just been reading all your nappy tips. I use a nappy called "Sealer" which is an asian nappy I buy through nappyhouse.co.nz. If you buy in bulk they work out at around 27c each. We have tried heaps however I can't compare these to any others, we have no leaks they fit my big boy really well(8mths 11kg and we use large) we have no rash, gel etc. If you email the company they will send samples of their nappies. I used each one at night to really test them out. I sound like an advertisemnet for them :) ]]> Sat, 03 Dec 2005 22:00:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21539&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21539 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21535&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21535 Author: aimeejoy

i understand that. i decided in the end to go with fuzzibunz and use them for my oldest (2yrs now) and prefolds for the younger one cause they were cheaper and by the time the older one had finished using nappies the second would be ready. so really i should finish trialing the different sorts...

yep, my hubby couldnt get it right in the beginning too, was always too loose. see if you can check and re do it without hubby seeing so you dont offend or upset him.

OR - get a cloth night nappy. i am into rosies AIO at the mo. bubs bum was dry, it didnt smell of pee and wasnt soggy like some others or his disposable. and it dried quickly on the line. and hubby had no probs putting it on.

they were on special for $7.50 or thereabouts at pak n save. huggies aren't on special there this week, i'm so annoyed they don't do pamphlets anymore. hehe junk mail is my life

If Arna has 2 bottles before bed (her milk and then one of water) then she totally wets through the giggles! But if she has a bottle at say 4pm (by bottle I mean her straw cup!! Old habit I guess) and then one with her dinner she is fine...

I am the same as you Emma, Huggies I buy the next size up - otherwise the tabs don't go around properly and she wets in about 10 mins (out the side).

Also used Budget for about 2 weeks but then Arna got a BAD nappy rash - still have some sitting in the closet collecting dust... And tried babylove a couple of times - thought they were great as she didnt wet through them - until I changed her and had to give her about 2 - 3 baths a day to get the jelly stuff off (I hate that stuff!!)

We use to use giggles all the time, however they say they are for daytime use only and as I have found out a few times it is because they pee more at night so they leak! Bailey was 7lbs at birth and we must have gone though at least 10-15 packets of newborns!!!!!
We now use Giggles during the day and Huggies at night

Used giggles and treasures ultra a few times when han was little and she used to leak like hell.
Found huggies were the only ones that didn't leak.
Would only buy them on special tho. Couldn't afford to be paying $15 a packet.

Mmmhmmmmm... that's it.

I love huggies they are so fantasic for boys except for that gell stuff,but I don't think that is much of a problem.  Treasure ultra are really good with new born, deffently don't buy too many as you won't need them all, but if you do over stock most supermarkets will be willing to exchange them for the next size as long as the packets are undamaged.]]> Mon, 28 Nov 2005 21:21:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21107&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21107 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21106&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21106 Author: Maya

I was a nappy snob, I only used Treasures Ultra on Maya for the first 2 years. Could afford it tho because I only used them at night and used cloth during the day.

I'm not a big Huggies fan, I find I always need to buy up a size (Maya is 14.75kg and wearing the 15-18kg sz) because they are cut quite short and she is quite long. I have recently started using the Air nappies and they are great too.

Treasures Giggles used to be good too, but now that she is bigger she wets right thru them at night.

As for newborn naps, I only bought 2 packets, and just as well as they never fit her that well. She was also a 9lber and went pretty much straight into the Treasures Ultra small size. Giggles now come in small too which is cool, they weren't around when Maya was tiny.]]> Mon, 28 Nov 2005 21:20:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21106&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21106 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21105&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21105 Author: lenabeanz

I have always gone between
Huggies (Mainly night time cause of price - to expensive to use during day!)
Cosies (from www.babiesonline.co.nz) about $60 for 144 (work out to be about 32c each) and
Treasure Giggles (have been using these at night - but only in the last few months @ 15 months)]]> Mon, 28 Nov 2005 21:12:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21105&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21105 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21103&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21103 Author: k&jsmum

The Budget nappies have changed now. my friend who works in the supermarket industry said the Budget range (in all goods be it nappies or tinned tomatoes) get put up for tender(?) every 2-3 years and they have just changed them in the last couple of months. They are more like a treasures giggles nappy now (so am wondering if treasures are doing them) and are only $5.50 a packet. also have gone from using a large to a med. Anyway i use huggies for night time at my boys are major pee machines and these are the only nappies that keep them dry and they fit really great as well.
I guess really its down to trial and error. I found that as i had friends who swear by naps i hated and vice versa.

At the moment I use Pams (not the ultra) and they are great. They always cost around $6.30 which is the cheapest and best quality I've tried.

I don't like Budget as they gave Ella nappy rash and I didn't like the gel that Baby Love left either.

I think that Treasures Giggles and Pams are the best for quality/price.]]> Mon, 28 Nov 2005 19:50:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21099&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21099 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21093&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21093 Author: jack_&_charli

we use huggies at night and giggles during the day. but in saying that when the huggies are gone i'm getting the air ones from the online shop. i've used them before and are better than huggies. sometimes jacks bum is covered in crystal-like stuff from huggies naps. i used giggles until he was sleeping through the night as he was being changed/fed so often.
i'm not sure how many newborn packs i had but as jack was only 5pd 12oz he was in newborn size for along time! if you end up with too many you can always take the unopened packs to the supermarket and swap them for bigger ones.
well that's my novel finished ]]> Mon, 28 Nov 2005 16:52:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21093&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21093 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21086&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21086 Author: fattartsrock

We had about 8 packs of newborn naps, and I still have 3. I also bought small nappies treasures giggles and ultra have a 4 - 7 kg size, which lasted longer than the beginners. I found jake peed thru the giggles, so used huggies at night, although treasures ultra are quite good as well, I like the "fittedness" of the huggies, esp round the legs. I heard that Air is great as well. Go to www.babyonline.co.nz, they have great specials.

I have just tried babylove nappies, and HATED them. they have this gel in it that takes the wetness away from bubs bum, but letf Jake covered in jelly stuff....ick.
Basic ones were okay, but the sizes said 8-15kg. Jake is 12 and it was a little tight to put on.
Mum bought Huggies, which were okay. Am now using treasures giggles - no problems.
Don't necessarily go for the cheapest because you may find yourself having to use more - thus actually making them more expensive!

I'd say get some ultra-absorbant for night times, but maybe later when bubbs is sleeping through the night. Jake soaks his and wakes up a sodden cold messs.

I usually go to www.babyonline.co.nz and buy Air nappies... I have found them to be everything I need in a nappy!!

I can't even remember how many newborns nappies I bought, but I do remember Quinn outgrew them pretty fast, if I had my time again I would prob buy mostly the next size up, it makes more sense to go out and buy more newborns if you need them rather than have oodles left over?!]]> Mon, 28 Nov 2005 15:24:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21073&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21073 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21062&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21062 Author: toniellis

I wouldn't get too many of the newborn size. I got about 100 and my son had outgrown them by the time I managed to squeeze the last one over his bottom (he was a big boy though 9lb 2 born).
I stuck with Treasures & Huggies to start with, once he was in a routine I was able to use "day nappies" & "night nappies", which were good old Budget for the day time & Huggies or Treasures at night (whichever was on special!)]]> Mon, 28 Nov 2005 13:51:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21062&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21062 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21061&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21061 Author: aimeejoy

Hi! Welcome to ohBaby!

My baby is 5 weeks and she has already outgrown newborn size - she was 8lb 5 born. So itsprobably best not to buy too many, espcially if they think bubs is going to be big.

Hannah wears cloth nappies most of the time, but I have foung Huggies are more leakproof, esp at night and better at containing her explosive runny poos! Oh, the things you have to look forward too!!

Also theres been a few of us discussing cloth nappies in another thread if you are interested called 'My foray into cloth nappies'. ]]> Mon, 28 Nov 2005 13:51:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21061&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21061 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1207&PID=21059&title=which-brand-of-nappies#21059 Author: leesa_m

Hello

Forgive me if this is an old topic - I did do a seach and couldn't see anything ..

I am 7 months pregnant, and as suggested (by everyone!) I am buying disposable nappies when they are on special. However, there are so many brands to choose from - no only at the supermarkets, but online too! Could I get some feedback from mums as to which ones they liked best and why? I'm having a boy. Also, how many should I get of the newborn? 100? 200? 500? 1000?
Many thanks
