polly Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I found them in the Coles in Williamstown. We now live in the east (Balwyn North, near Doncaster) and I can't seem to find it in any of the local stores. Can anyone direct me to a store that has them or do I have to drive to Williamstown this weekend?Thanks a lot in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hi Polly... i get them at the Coles in Narre Warren..... or i saw them online on the coles online shop..... BUT they are pricey!!! LOL more than Huggies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polly Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I went and bought huggies out of desperation, but they don't absorb nearly as much and my kids' skins react to huggies after a few days. I couldn't find it on the online shop It seems to connect to my local store for online shopping. I know they are pricey but they work for me. I also mailed their head office, so hopefully I will get feedback soon. Don't want to drive to Williamstown every time I need nappies.

catz Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I can get them online in my area... strange that it seems to be area bound??? Good luck.... if push comes to shove, i am sure Narre Warren is closer than Williamstown for you???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hi Polly, I found this on another website, hope it helps"Just wanted to let you know that I have discovered that they are selling Pampers nappies at Coles Vic Gardens - this is in Melbourne. We used them when we were in UK a couple of years ago and they are absolutely fantastic. The absorbency is great but in addition to this they are really light weight and comfy. They have stretchy bits around the legs and waist so the kids can move around really easily and they just aren't as bulky and heavy as the nappies we are used to in Australia. It was a bit of a culture shock for our kids when we returned to Australia and could not get them anymore !They cost about the same as Huggies but I think they are much better. I tried to buy them at Glenferrie but they did not have them so I called Coles head office and they said it is a trial in only 10 stores in Victoria -Vic GardensChaddieBerwickBallaratAltona MeadowsMoonee PondsWilliamstownRowvilleSouth MorangKeilor Downs"On the same website, somebody said that Big W up in Queensland stocks them, so I would phone a Big W near your home and check if they have them. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polly Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks Mara! Was at Vic Gardens last week and they didn't have anymore WIll phone them and ask if they get stock again. They are close at least Thanks Nats. I don't like the huggies they have here. Doesn't fit on my little girl. Too long, but not enough waist space. It keeps on getting undone. Only her pants are keeping the darn things up and it is defnitely the right weight size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alibaba Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Good grief! I just switched to Huggies when we came here. It took a while to get used to them, but I like them now. I am not going to drive out of my way to find Pampers. I had 2 packs in the container, so I am "saving" them for when my daughter starts to potty train and she can wear them at night.

polly Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Well, I am going to drive to Chadstone tomorrow. The Huggies is just too bulky. It doesn't fit so well on my daughter. Depending on hte price, I think I will stock up Before our savings all go on a lawnmower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
