We gave three mums the nappies everyone's obsessed with. Here's their very honest review.

Thanks to our brand partner, Huggies

If there's one thing new parents learn very quickly, it's that a good nappy is a worthwhile investment. When something as simple as a leak can ruin an entire night's sleep, ensuring you're using the highest quality nappies possible is a no-brainer. 

Huggies are already a household name when it comes to nappies, but the Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants (from $22 a pack) might just be their biggest game-changer yet.

With a design that's gentle on delicate skin, new HugFit Protection for better-than-ever coverage and Rapid-Dry Technology that absorbs wetness in just 10 seconds, these nappies mean business. Oh, and did I mention up to 12 hours of overnight protection? Because yes, sleep is sacred.

But as every parent knows, there's only one test that really matters for nappy pants — performance under pressure (or when a toddler puts them to the test).

So, we gave the Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants to three different mums and their toddlers for a seven-day trial and asked for their honest verdict.

Zoe and her toddler Joe, aged 20 months.

My 20-month-old son has the appetite of an adult football player.

Whatever a normal child eats in a day, you can safely triple (or quadruple) it for Joe. I am absolutely here for it: after a firstborn who wasn't a great eater, we love a boy who enjoys stuffing his mouth full of food. What comes out the other end as a result… erm, we love a little less.

Suffice to say, I need a nappy that can do some serious heavy lifting — and I needed it yesterday.

If we haven't already established this yet, Joe is a sturdy little guy. He needs nappies with plenty of stretch to stay comfortable overnight and avoid any marks on his sweet little belly.

The Huggies Nappy Pants create no such issues. They look cosy and feel really soft to the touch, with a fit that offers good coverage around the bum and a snug, comfortable waist that stays perfectly in place. Overall, I would consider replacing my own jeans with these.

I've recently moved my boys' bathtime earlier to avoid the 7pm panic — that awful moment each evening when I realise I haven't done dinner, bath or bed. Normally, after a bath, I pop Joe straight into his nighttime nappy underneath his pyjamas, but I did worry that the new early bath routine would mean I'd have to change his nappy again before bedtime.

Armed with the knowledge that the Huggies Nappy Pants offer overnight protection, I gave it a try. The verdict? 6pm to 6am — no leaks, no accidents. (If you have questions about why my 20-month-old wakes up at 6am every morning... well, I have those questions too.)

And look, not to put anyone off their dinner, but the absolutely massive poo he does each morning? The Huggies Nappy Pants handled this with ease.

Lize and her toddler Phoebe, aged 21 months.

For the past month, my 21-month-old daughter has been waking up at 4am. Every morning. Without fail. Possibly because she enjoys torturing me — but mostly because she's leaked through her nappy and is wet and cold.

At first, I assumed it was just the next stage before potty training. Then I tried the new Huggies Nappy Pants. They promised a lot — and after putting them to the test, I can confidently say: they absolutely deliver.

Turns out, it wasn't intentional torture — she was just in the wrong kind of nappy. Before we switched, overnight leaks were a nightly drama. But from night one with these Huggies Nappy Pants? Not a single leak.

The HugFit Protection really does its job — hugging her shape without digging in or leaving marks. And while I was sceptical about the whole "10-second absorption" thing, I'm now fully convinced. Phoebe stays dry overnight, every night.

For our family, these nappies have made mornings much less chaotic. If you're in the thick of toddlerhood and are looking for a reliable option, these Huggies Nappy Pants are absolutely worth the switch.

Liv and her toddler Rex, aged 14 months.

I didn't expect to feel so strongly about nappies in general… until I found ones that just worked.

The Huggies Nappy Pants slotted so easily into our routine with my 14-month-old son that I caught myself thinking, wait… since when did nappy changes get this easy?

First up, they're super soft. My son has pretty delicate skin, but these nappies have been so gentle. No redness, no irritation, no angry rashes. Just smooth, happy skin and one less thing for me to worry about.

They've also been great at keeping him dry and protected, even through overnight sleeps and epic snack-fuelled play sessions. I've dealt with my fair share of surprise leaks (usually at the most inconvenient times), but these nappies have been totally reliable. No soggy pants, no middle-of-the-night sheet changes.

What I really love is the fit. They're snug without being tight, and they move with him which is saying something, because this kid does not stop. Crawling, climbing, dancing to The Wiggles… nothing budges these nappies.

Honestly, the biggest win is that I don't have to think about them. No back-ups in the nappy bag, no second guessing. Just one dependable, comfy option that keeps my little guy dry, happy and on the move. It's a win-win.
