hmm not sure - they dont look like 'huggies' as we know them and they are unisex. i am cautious of one-day since the wheely bug debacle!
Also , I dont think it is a much better price than the best deals you get when supermarkets do the big boxes of Huggies for around $35

I didn't hear about the wheely bug debacle???
Yeah I didn't think it sounded all that good - but a sucker for 'advertising' as I am.

I dont think its a good deal.
They also look like older ones, so not sure if they are even good like the huggies now

It says they are from Singapore, so perhaps that would account for the differences.
I'd also like to know what happened with the wheely bug debarcle!

oh - it was just that they offered wheely bugs which turnout out to be imported fakes (at least they refunded all money, but still disappointing).
as the huggies they are offering are uni-sex i assume they must be quite different to the huggies we can buy here . . . )

You need to be careful with 1-day alot of there items are cheap imports and not the real thing. Before buying always read the smaller print

They're a good price, but only marginally better than elsewhere I have found. And being uni-sex I would be reluctant.
Plunket shop has really good deals on Huggies at the moment. I just bought a whole heap of boxes from them yesterday, cheapest I could find shopping around. Free delivery too.
http://www.plunketshop.co.nz/
ETA: Bugger! Sorry, looks like the sale prices I got yesterday have gone. They were $15 off each box, which made for a good deal. Not so now - you'd be better to get them on special at Woollies or Foodtown this week.

My mum bought some for me last time they were on.
They're not the real huggies.
I don't know about todays sale but the size was from 5kg - 10kg. My little girl was weighed yest at 7.4kg and I'm still using them but they are just a good fit.
I also only really use them at home. They don't have the same absorbancy.
All in all, they were still cheap and do the job. I just have my proper huggies for night times and long outings.

I bought these last time they were on 1-day and re-sold them on trademe. They were terrible. Didn't absorb much at all and as soon as there was the smallest amount of wee in there, the nappy drooped way down and DS would leak out the sides. They were awful and the sizing was way off too.

Huggies have a pooh design.
DD only wears huggies as they have been the best nappy for her.

It's cheaper to get the boxes at the moment really. With that offer, I could get 168 nappies for $69.99. With the special at Countdown/Woolies at the moment, I could get 180 nappies for $75.98. So for an extra $6, I would get an extra 12 nappies, and the ones at Woolies are the real deal and I KNOW they work.
ETA: Add on the shipping, and you are paying $75.98 for 168 nappies anyway...so definitely better to get the boxes from Countdown/Woolies.
