How have disposable nappies changed in the last 50 years. Next time you’re chatting to your mum ask her about the disposable nappies that were available on the market when you were a baby. You can bet they were no where near as good as they are today, that's if there were any around! She’ll probably also remind you how lucky you are.  In the early days of “one use” disposable nappies, although a huge relief from the drudgery of constantly washing cloth ones, they were very bulky and clumber some, leakage was common and the fasteners were not very good. A number of nappy brands entered into the UK market during the early 1970’s, but it wasn’t until 1986 that Huggies were introduced to UK parents. Since then Huggies nappies have become the number one choice for UK babies. In fact more mums choose Huggies compared to any other disposable nappy. When your elders say the good old days, give them a reminder!
