Huggles from 'Nappies by Minki'
Multi-sized, super-absorbent shaped terry
nappy ideal for night time. Price from £8.50
This nappy has become reknowned as a highly effective night nappy. It
is appropriately named, being made from luxurious long loop pile cotton
terry, making it soft and very cuddly. It fastens around the waist with
poppers and the 'wings' can be crossed over to fit a huge range of waist
sizes. The nappy is completely lined on the inside with fluffy white
fleece which is soft against baby's skin and will keep him feeling dry,
even overnight. Generously cut to give good coverage over the nappy
area, the absorbency of this nappy surpasses anything similar we have
tried.
The inner fleece layer and the outer terry layer form
a pocket with an opening at the back. There is a booster flap attached
at the back of the nappy that is pushed into the pocket when the nappy
is in use and is pulled out for washing and to speed up drying. If neccessary
extra boosters can also be placed into the pocket, maintaining the stay-dry
fleece layer against baby's skin.
The high absorbency of the Huggle means that it is relatively
slow to dry. Hang it somewhere warm such as above a radiator, or tumble-dry,
to speed drying. Some people find this nappy a little bulky for daytime
use, though others don't find this an issue, and it isn't an issue for
night time nappies provided your little one has roomy pyjamas. We highly
recommend this reliable and comfortable nappy for night time use. In
cases where parents come to us looking for advice due to disposable
nappies persistently leaking at night we have had excellent results
with the Huggle. The XL Huggle makes a reliable nappy for bigger toddlers
and young children who may still wet at night long after they are dry
in the day. See below for our recommended wrap, as most XL wraps will
not fit over the XL Huggle satisfactorily.
Sizing
Small 10 - 20lb (4.5 - 9.1Kg)
Large 18 - 35lb (8.2 - 15.9Kg)
XL 35lb+ (15.9Kg+)
Options
Available in several colours: soft blue, soft pink, unbleached cream-coloured
cotton and white. Popper fastening at the waist.
Advantages & disadvantages compared
with other shaped nappies: Very absorbent, soft and comfortable. A super-reliable
night nappy, suitable for even the heaviest wetters. Bulky, though this
is not usually problematic for night nappies. Also suitable for heavier
weeters in the daytime.
What else will I need? With this nappy a
disposable nappy liner is not necessary, though you may choose to use
one if your baby tends to poo in their night nappy. (Most babies tend
not to poo during the night after the first few months. However, waking
up is a powerful stimulant to the bowel, and some babies poo first thing
in the morning.) You are unlikely to need to boost this nappy, though
you might need to do this with particularly heavy wetters. Any boosters
are suitable, except those with a stay-dry layer on top, and can be
popped into the nappy pocket . You will need an outer cover/wrap - see
below for recommendations.
Suggested wraps This nappy is relatively
high in the rise (height) and will need a roomy wrap, maybe even the
next size up from that your child usually uses during the day. We like
the following: for the small size nappy Motherease
Air Flow (M), Nature Babies Classic
Covers (M). For the large Huggle nappy we would recommend either
the Large size in the above wraps or the XL size for those at the higher
end of the nappy weight range. For the XL Huggle: For smaller children
in the XL Huggle the XL airflow will cover it. The only wrap that will
cover the XL nappy on larger children is this one, specially made for
us for this purpose: rebsraps.
Second hand value Good.
Care Machine wash at up to 50ºC (always
