There’s an Afrikaans  saying “goedkoop is duurkoop“, which means something similar to “penny wise, pound foolish”, or you get what you pay for, or buying cheaply is not the best option.

But there’s an expection to every rule, like Huggies Dry Comfort nappies, which might not be in the premium nappy market, but are pretty good, and offer the “12-hour protection” promise.

I was always scared to try out non-premium brands. What if they leaked? What if someone – gasp – saw that I was buying my son the cheaper option? But I sucked it up, and I was happy to switch and play around with what worked.

Huggies Dry Comfort have s leak-guard waistband that fits the baby at the back to prevent leaks. It also has absorbent “lock-gel” that is spread throughout the nappy to lock wetness away quickly, for up to 12 hours.

The nappies come in Winnie the Pooh characters, and are available in four sizes – size 2 (3 – 6kg), size 3 (5 – 9 kg), size 4 (8 – 14 kg) and size 5 (12 – 22 kg). Prices vary between the sizes, but for size 4, the recommended retail price is R47.99 (for 17), R124.99 (for 50), and R139.99 (for 66).

PS: This is just my guess, and not science, but many products are cheaper because there’s less marketing or advertising them. Makes sense, huh?
