MY: Huggies Dry Pants


Decided to join in the Huggies Dry Pants "Change for Better Convenience" blogger contest. With that, I requested a sample pack For malaysia mummies out there, do please go to the below link to request for one.
http://www.huggies.com.my/huggies-community/request-a-sample.aspx

Received a contest SAMPLE SET. Really a nice sample combi I have to say. They provide:

  • 1 packet x Size M (5 -10kg)
  • 1 packet x Size L   (8-13kg)
  • 1 packet x Size XL (11-16kg)
  • 2 Pouch Carrier
  • A catologe


Since tigerbaby is a small size, decided to give Size M a try out.

As an excited mom to try out her new "gadget", when I opened out the packet (which have 4 pieces) in it and took out one piece trying to figure out which side is FRONT and which is BACK. After a few seconds I still couldn't figure out. As I was rushing out for breakfast, I decided just put it in whichever side it is.
(E) Wear Any Side Snug Fit -  After I returned from breakfast, look carefully at packaging, then only I realised it is designed that its doesn't have front/back mode. Indeed a very conveinent feature specially for Grandparents to wear it.

Though Tigerbaby had approx  100ml of liquid before the Pants/underwear change and my next checked, the Pants was not extremely heavy and position low but when I touch it seems quite a lot.
(B) Quick Lock System - Absorbtion is quite acceptable however for the duration lesser than 2 hours it seems not as great as Mama Poko's.  Nevertheless, it does keep tigerbaby private area dry which is one key thing most critical to Pants selection.

When wearing the pants for tigerbaby, first thing I realised it is its slides. It is different from other brands.
(D) Soft Stretch Slides, I loved it!!  It is definitely one nice feature compare to other brands as it doesn't leave those zigzag marks on tigerbaby skins after usage.

As for the below features, I personally feel it is pretty much the common feature.
(A) 100% Breatherable Outer Cover
(C) Double leak Barriers - the leak barriers are indeed very easy to open up and the quality are much nicer to BabyLoves
(F) Tear every Side Seams 

I guess for 4 piece selling price in Supermarket would be RM 3.90 (which means one piece is $0.98) as advertise on the packaging.

Now is the pricing comparison with other brands. As for its unique features on (E) Wear Any Side Snug Fit  and (D) Soft Stretch Slides I would recommend for parents to try to get at least a sample or if there is promotion in stores to try out. It is really easy for caretakers (specially grandparents that help out) as they can just wear it and not worry whether which side is the front or back. Besides the soft stretch slides would make parents well "less heart pain" not to see those zigzag marks on the sides of their hips.

Pants are indeed must easier to use as its popular phrase "Koyak, Salin & Lepas" - "Tear, Change and Drop". You just need to tear the side, it drops easily and just throw. Pull it up a new piece wherever there are and not worrying the stick on the latches and needing to lie them flat. Obviously the price would be more expensive thatn the stick on diapers but it has it features to assist and provide convenience.

  • 5pm -7 pm Parents pick up 


There are 3 type of enrichment classes
1) Creative Movement  (approx $90)
2) Mandarin Classes (approx $115)
3) Sports Ball (Approx $60)

A Full Day nursery fee (3 yr old class) is $1444 per MONTH 
A Half Day is $1110 per month.

Indeed.. something I can ponder for a while more... though I did make an appointment to go view and see how LESSONS are being conducted. So lets see how it goes..


Nursery 1 (30 to 36 months)The curriculum for Nursery 1 level emphasizes on pre-formal learning skills through our Literature-based curriculum. Interest in literacy and numeracy is cultivated through interesting activites extended from literature. Their social, emotional and physical development is further enhanced.
