Huggies Nappy Pants is an innovative alternative to regular open nappies. Designed to fit like underwear, they are as absorbent as a regular open nappy. The soft and stretchy waistband gives baby the freedom to wriggle, crawl, climb and roll more easily and allows them to explore to their hearts' content. With up to 12 hours of dryness and tailored absorption, these nappies are perfect for both day and night usage.
Huggies is committed to improving the lives of all babies in South Africa and helping them to thrive. "We are confident that the new Huggies Nappy Pants will assist us in achieving this objective," concludes Goodman.
