the prices have just gone up, in the new year you will struggle to get them under $33 a box.


All the Major Retailers alternate who has them on special because it has been proven that the cost of nappies seriously influence where people go to do their grocery shopping.


We still use sposies here, and out of all the brands our local stock, i get huggies, because they are consistently good quality- i have pulled tabs off some others just opening them.


It's funny, I haven't seen nappies for $33 a box for ages now, now the 'special' price is $37-38 :blink: , that's a decent jump in that time hey!

I use dispoables. I did with my first and now with my second. Always buy huggies, and have only paid more then $29 a box a handful of times.. and even then I only pay 2 for $66. Chemart and IGA are the best for the $29 boxes. :) huggies also added 9 extra nappies into all their boxes this year. a little more for your dollar.

Hat off to all of you doing it with the cloth! Just thought I would let you know, to cure some curiosity hehe xxx

Ok, I just have to say that the "eco-friendly" nappies aren't really any different to huggies and the like. The difference is often they tell you to rip out the inside and compost it instead of throwing it in the bin - but if you wanted to, you could do that to huggies and other "not-eco friendly" brands :s

yep i've noticed that some 'eco friendly' disposables involve ripping them up, and then you can flush down the loo or compost? i'm not sure how this is less yucky/inconvenient than using MCN.

not sure you should rip up a huggies, wouldn't those little gel crystal things go every where? i've read they're really toxic if breathed in.

we use huggies overnight, in the size we buy they are about 70c each! eek!

We use sposies at night. The best brand for Max is Snugglers & I buy them on special at $19 for a pack of 72. It works out to 26c per nappy.

I was wondering if snugglers are any good?.
I hate buying huggies for MIL to use, she changes them every bloody hour but doesnt like cloth :blink:
Costs me a bomb, have been buying woolies brand ones but I see snugglers mega cheap all the time.

I find them fantasic for Max, better & cheaper than huggies. Aldi nappies don't work for him, but worked perfectly for my 5 YO who was & still is a heavy wetter.
