Advantages: Good products

Disadvantages: leaked in nappies

When I was pregnant I remember looking at the different types of nappies and getting very confused at the range. The obvious ones were Pampers and then Huggies - I hadn't even taken into account eco-friendly, supermarket own brands or low cost. Since I had heard more about Pampers I bought them first. not happy with their quality I switched to Huggies.

They have a great range of products such as nappies, wipes, swimmer nappies and changing pads. They have nappies for all types of age ranges from stage 1 - Preemies (for premature babies) to stage 6 - Little walkers and pull ups. They also have a website including a club you can join for money off vouchers and to enter into competitions. Once signed up they will send you promotional vouchers and information on each stage of your baby's life. There is a chat forum where you can chat to other mums and share experiences. The site also allows dad's to get involved and has a section for them.

I find the site very useful and interested to use. It is really easy to navigate through the different pages and sought out information that you want/need. They offer great fun and games section, but the best part is being able to talk to other mums about real-life events and to ask for their advice on situations. Huggies products starting with nappies, I would say that they were not a favourite of mine. I did find that they leaked and only used the rest to use up the packet. I found that even with the advice from the midwife, my little boy still leaked out of them - I tried a different size but that didn't help either. The wipes on the other hand are a lot better - you can just tell from the quality and feel. I have continued to buy the wipes. I have tried the swimmers also and found these to be great - we went on holiday earlier this year and he had a great time with them on. I have not tried the changing pads but did get a free changing pad which I still use today when out and about.

Overall I would say that brand was not as high up my ratings chart as I thought it would be - I was disappointed in the fact that my little one leaked out of the nappies but I am happy with the quality in the other products. The website is great but I rarely use it now. I would say that I may try them again in 3 years when I have another baby and may even try their pull ups range, but they will not be 1st on my list.

Summary: Thought it would be better then I expected
