Review: Weehuggers

Cute enough to plan an outfit around!

I am not really a big fan of two parter nappies, but when the new Weehugger prints came in at Fill Your Pants, I honestly, could not resist. The "Save the Whales' print engulfed me like a siren song! I was besotted, hook, line and sinker! My justification for buying yet another nappy, was that it will look SO adorable on the beach with a little teeshirt when we go on holiday!


Weehugger nappies come in two sizes, Size 1 (6-18lbs) and Size 2 (15-35 kbs) and both sizes are adjustable by 3x3 poppers at the front. The wraps are made from a really soft cotton which is laminated with PUL to make it waterproof. They have deep leg gussets which are really useful, as they prevent leakages.

Weehuggers are available in Aplix and Poppers. This is where I was put off by the Weehuggers. Louie has been able to undo aplix nappies since he was about 6 months old, so when I am choosing nappies, poppers are a big decider for me. BUT the selling point of the Weehuggers is that the aplix fasteners are in the shape of little mittens, so it really looks like the nappy is hugging the child. Aww ! So I thought I would try it out, because the poppers just aren't as cute!! I was amazed that the aplix is so strong, sometimes I struggle to undo it myself! This is a really big deal for me, as I have big reservations when it comes to velcro fastenings.

The Weehugger inserts also come in two sizes, and are made from bamboo, so they are super thirsty. They are one of the thinnest inserts that we own, even though you need to fold them in half. They are now my favourite insert to use in two-parter nappies by far. They are so slim fitting and just absolutely absorbent, I can not rate them enough.

Weehugger wrap with a Little Lamb fitted

Louie came down with a bug a few weeks ago and as he wasn't eating much, just having breast milk regularly, his poo reverted back to the breastfed consistency and our normal nappies just weren't doing the job at containing the mess. So we delved into the cupboard and fished out the Little Lamb fitted nappies. The Weehugger wraps fit so snugly around them, giving him such a cute little bum! This combination was a winner, with no leaks!


The Weehuggers are compatible with many types of inserts, including Flip inserts, prefolds, disposable inserts etc. and do provide quite a slim fit with most of these inserts.

I really am in love with my very cute Weehugger wrap, and although I am not a big fan of the AI2 style, I do find myself reaching for it and reusing the wrap as much as I can, because it just so cute!

Weehuggers come in a range of different colours and patterns so there really is something for everyone. They retail at £14.99 and you can get them here at Fill Your Pants!
