The Best Huggies Nappies

Ive been buying huggies more or less from day 1 and thought I was buying the best huggies nappies - was this a bad idea?

Ive mentioned before my heavy wetter went thru a few different overnight nappies before I settled on Huggies as my preferred brand but perhaps thatll be changing in the future after reading some thorough nappy product reviews from Choice.

Choice nappy review

Choice is a well-known Australian nonprofit consumer advocacy group, independent and member-funded.

Ive been a member in the past and expect to be again in the future and am always interested to learn their perspective on products with their comprehensive reviews.

Ive often referred to Choice when making buying decisions and what do you know - Choice do review nappies too! Great!

Imagine my curiousity when I read how relatively poorly my current choice of nappies perform on the choice expert rating (at at June 2023).

Now, If youd asked me BEFORE I read the Choice Disposable Nappies Product Review I would have probably said

“hey yeah everyone knows Huggies are better quality nappies and so I’m okay to pay a little bit more”.

Well, read on, my minds changed!

Huggies nappies review

Right now we are using Huggies Ultra Dry Size 5 and from reading the Choice review here they perform poorly with a rating of 70 out of a possible 100 and are not Choice ‘recommended’.

Huggies Ultra Dry Size 5 are a real middle of the pack performer with highlights including

  • Absorbency Score of 72%
  • Leakage Score of 70%
  • Rewet Score of 61%
  • Velcro strength score of 80%
  • Light Leakage observed
  • Velcro strength observed Moderate

Do give the Choice review a read - it goes on with more detail and explains the terminology and covers a wide range of nappy brands and sizes in thorough fashion. Great stuff!

These nappies are not the rated the worst of the pack but theres definitely room for improvement - I can see a few options on the list that are better performing that I need to keep an eye out for in the store

Personally we have been using them without issues but good to get the unbiased Choice perspective.

ProTip: Finding the best nappy can involve a little trial and error. I still say do test out different nappies and see how your heavy wetter likes them - my approach works for me but may not work best for you and of course do refer to the choice reviews to get a head start!
