Not money saving as such but I am gutted

They are the only ones we have used and I love them.

Oh well, off to test other brands we go...

    I wonder why this is? Im sure they must make money on them, is it an ethical thing? doesnt bother me too much as Lidl nappies are superior IMO but everyone has their favourites
    Happy days

    I'm pleased they're still making swim nappies and wipes, because I use both of them. Never got on with the nappies, tbh.

    I'm also glad they will still be selling the wipes and swimming nappies. My DS never got on with huggies as they had a tendancy to leak but I know others that day they are fab.

    Hi fluff!! :D

    Huggies gave my DS a really sore bum, even if he was only in them for a really short time but I know people who swear by them. We love the wipes in our house though. I wonder what the reason is?? I'd love to know.

    Just had the Huggies Club email with this news. Very bizarre.

    Didn't like the Huggies nappies at all with our eldest (the shape seemed "wrong") but they suited our other children.
    Ours are all now dry day and night so makes very little difference to us now...

    Choccielover...try Little Angels from ASDA, we don't use them but we have a number of friends and family who swear by them. We use huggies pull ups so hoping they are true to their word and the pull ups will still be available.

    I'm glad the wipes are still going to be available. My disabled son is doubly incontinent and most wipes are too thin to deal with the contents of a 14 year old's pull up :o

    The Huggies wipes are the thickest that I have found, but even then, I sometimes use three at once.

    I got this email earlier aswell. I'm really annoyed because I am a big Huggies fan. I'd love to know why they are doing this. I guess it must be due to poor sales?

    Pampers make my LO sore so did Asda. Not sure what I will do. My daughter is currently nearly 17 months so I may have to stock up nearer the time when I know about sizing etc. According to the email we have until spring 2013.

    Interesting.

    I thought this might happen because the local Kimberley Clark factory is shutting. A spokesman for the company said on the news that they hadn't made a profit on nappies for twenty years!!!

    I feel very guilty about buying all those newborn voucher packs now...
