It’s a dream for many parents for their baby to sleep through the night. But this can be made very tricky if the nappy their baby is wearing doesn’t keep them feeling dry overnight.

1. Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy-Pants

Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy-Pants for Boys Size 4 29-pack

Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants feature a new SlimFLEX Absorbent Core and are now 25% thinner and 70% more flexible.

Parent review: “I have been using these nappy pants for 1.5years and it absorbs quite well even overnight (over 12hours sometimes) but you need to properly pull them up otherwise leakages occur especially boys.”

2. Rascal + Friends Nappies

Rascal + Friends Nappies are designed to prevent leaking or explosions whilst keeping your baby’s bum comfortably dry thanks to the special 3D leak guard and absorbency channel.

Parent review: Great for every day and overnight. We have used several brands of nappies on bub but one of our favourites is definitely Rascal and Friends. They are one of our go-to nappy brands as bub gets nappy rash from a lot of them, however, does not seem to get a rash with Rascal and Friends. They are also a great fit on bubs. If you’re looking for a great brand of nappy I highly suggest Rascal and friends.

3. Huggies Ultimate Nappy-Pants

Huggies Ultimate Nappy-Pants Size 4 56-pack

Huggies Ultimate Nappy-Pants features a 360° Cloud-Soft waistband, NEW SlimFlex Absorbent Core, and moisture lock technology that is 25% thinner and 70% more flexible.

Parent review: “My daughter has very sensitive and rash prone skin and after trying numerous brands, I found that this suited her best. The waistband is soft and causes her to scratch/itch less. The nappy is also flexible, thin yet absorbent for over 12 hours use overnight. It fits well and hardly ever leaks, unlike ordinary nappies! I would recommend it for your active toddler!”

4. Huggies Ultimate Nappies

Huggies say their Ultimate Nappies offer the very softest protection for sensitive skin and precious bubs.

Parent review: “These nappies are the only nappies I have ever put the kids in. They are great for overnight and I’m yet to experience any leaks from them. They are quite soft which I love. Always been a fan of Huggies and these nappies would have to be the best ones that they make without a doubt!”

5. Huggies Ultra Dry Nappies

These nappies are tailor-made absorbency perfectly suited for baby boys. Targeted absorbency where boys need it most.

Parent review: “The best nappies ever!! I have tried so many brands of nappies over the past two years. From cheap to expensive. these are by far the best I have tried, so comfy, and very absorbent, and they do not leak whatsoever. we can go overnight in these and there will be no leakage.”

6. Little Ones Ultra Dry

Little Ones Ultra Dry features a super absorbent core that draws moisture away from the baby’s skin and the Triple Layer Technology designed for fast absorption.

Parent review: “We got these to see if they were any good because they are cheaper than the other brands, even when the other brands are on special and we have been quite impressed.

“Our little one (4months) has worn them overnight since birth and we’ve never had any wee leaks. A few poosplosions but no more than any other disposable brand. Definitely recommend.”

7. BabyLove CosiFit Nappies

Newborn Size 1: up to 5kg BabyLove CosiFit Nappies 54-pack

BabyLove CosiFit Nappies provides advanced leakage protection.

Parent review: “We love these nappies. Great absorbency (last well on long stretches overnight), the tabs are really grippy and overall they fit well. Don’t ever have leaks (our little one has really chunky thighs), and haven’t had issues with poop leaks in a long time. Have used both newborn sizes and next size up with no issues. Bub prefers these over other brands.”

8. tooshies Nappies with Organic Bamboo – Crawler Size 3

Made with organic bamboo, tooshies crawler nappies are super soft, breathable, and free from nasties to soothe sensitive tooshies. With the environment in mind, these nappies have a 100% biodegradable back sheet and a biodegradable blended bamboo core.

Parent review: “I was sent the Tooshies size 3 nappy to trial- I have found these to be similar to the fit of another size 3 nappies. They didn’t leak for overnight use which is definitely an added bonus. They appear to be a bit more expensive than other brands but I guess the benefit is they are better for the environment. Would consider buying again.
