Great fit and easy to use – The candies are husband proof with no rise snaps and fastening at the sides makes it a very user friendly nappy. With 2 levels of snaps it means I can fit the nappy according to my bubs body as they don't need to align. Show details
Best cloth nappy we have owned – We have a mix of Candies, and other style side-snapping and front-snapping cloth nappies. The Candies have been the most consistent and easiest fit since we started using on our 2mo daughter who is now 16mo. The absorbency is really good too. These are my husband's favourite to use as well as they are the fastest to put on (no rise snaps). Show details
Cute designs and very absorbent – I use the combination of trifold and booster and it lasts 3-4 hours unless pooped in earlier. At first I thought it was too bulky and didnt like the fit but after enduring the material around the kegs were pushed into the groin line, it looks more comfortable and we have less red marks. I dont like that it can leak through the stitching though. We… Read more
have 9 candies and makes up most of our stash. However, baby girl is approaching 5 months and already on the second last snaps. Hopefully her legs get longer and she can use these for more than 12 months too. I love the minky material.

Best, Aussie-brand, So easy to use! – We love our Candies! They fit perfectly every time and are so easy for dads and grandparents too. The boosters are highly absorbent. Love all the colours and patterns. We have never had a leak - even with big dirty ones, or when we’ve forgotten to change before a nap and then Bub slept for a lot longer than anticipated! Oops! Candies are so easy… Read more
to wash - the Clean Cloth Nappy guidelines work perfectly every time. Even yucky teething poo marks come out following the guidelines. I can’t see any signs of wear and tear even after many washes and wears - such high quality!
We don’t use any other nappies now - Bubblebubs are by far the best! There is plenty of growth left in them for our 1 and a bit year old, and they are such excellent quality - they will get plenty of use with little siblings soon enough too.
We have always experienced quick and friendly customer service from Vicki and the team. Quick postage too!
We highly recommend Bubblebubs Candies!
Great for older babies – We started using Candies when our baby outgrew BamBams (which we absolutely loved!). He was eight weeks old (5kg) but we found that they weren't a great fit until he was a bit older. When we first started using them we had a lot of leaks. We watched a few tutorials from the website and that did help, but I think he also just needed to be bigger.… Read more
By the time he was 12 weeks' old the nappies were great. They did take a bit of getting used to with the side snaps. My husband still doesn't like the side snaps and will choose other nappies in our stash when he changes him, however I don't mind them and now that our baby is 10 months old and can undo the velcro at the front of other covers I can definitely see the benefit in the side snaps. They are also the most streamlined nappy that we have and they rarely leak. They definitely contain poo explosions extremely well. The only time they leak is when he is in between the snaps. At that time I tend to use another nappy until he's grown a little more. In terms of looks, they are above and beyond the best looking nappy. Overall, I would recommend, however I'd definitely have other nappies in your stash. I did find the price a little steep compared to other nappies, but the quality is definitely better than others. I did get them a lot cheaper by having one included in the part time Bam Bam pack that we bought and receiving a $60 voucher when we purchased the Candie trial pack. They have washed very very well, the elastics have remained tight (unlike other brands), and the colours and patterns bright. I think these nappies will continue to perform well as baby grows and if they keep washing the way they have I can see that they will become a great investment. We purchased 9 nappies.
Excellent MCNs but may be quickly outgrown and tricky to use for wrigglers – I have three brands of MCNs in my stash, and most of them are Bubblebubs Candies. Terrific business, excellent quality MCNs that are easy to put on Baby (once I realised that the front flaps go over the back flaps and not the other way around as it is with most nappies!) Overall, I do (and have) recommended Candies, but here’s a breakdown of Pros… Read more
and Cons:
Pros
Fit. This is a major issue with some other MCNs, but because the waist fitting and thigh fittings are separate snaps, Candies can be tailored well to suit your baby as he or she grows. Have only had one leak when I fitted the nappy too loosely.
Quality and absorbency. Both the covers and bamboo inserts are great quality. I have used Candies overnight (10 hours) with a trifold insert plus a single insert, without any leakage.
Design. The trimmest out of all my MCNs. No rise snaps, which Bubblebubs promotes as a major advantage, but rise snaps have not been a huge problem for me personally with other brands.
Patterns and colours. Bubblebubs Candies have some gorgeous patterns and colours. Even those that aren’t limited edition, such as their super soft minky covers, are still lovely.
Easy to wash and dry quickly.
Great customer service. Australian business.
Cons
One Size Fits Most... until what age and weight? Baby is heading towards 8 months now, and we are running out of snaps! She will probably outgrow Candies by year end, whereas there’s still good room for growth in my other MCNs.
Difficult to use for little wriggly worms. Candies were fantastic when Baby was happy to lie still and have her nappy changed. She is just shy of crawling now, and very active. Putting a Candy on her when she’s fully awake and alert means inserts, cover and nappy liner flying around while I’m trying to wipe her and apply nappy cream with one hand! Pocket nappies/convertible MCNs are better in this case.
Elasticity. The elasticity of the covers can loosen over time, which means just when I thought I had the right combination of snap numbers for fit, I had to adjust. Best to lay covers flat over a drying rack than peg them up to avoid this problem. Or maybe I should peg them if I want more room for growth. (See above)

Love them! – We started using candies after having great success with bubblebub’s bam bam newborn nappies. At 4.5 months old and 7kg, the bam bams do still fit, but are becoming tighter and we now prefer using the candies. We’ve been using the candies for 2 months, and are so impressed with them that we’ve just bought more. There are some lovely designs… Read more
and colours (which we sometimes manage to match with his outfit) and they’re easy to put on. They’re well made and wash well. We’ve never had a urine leak and have never experienced a ‘poonami’ up the back, unlike friends using disposables.
Using cloth nappies is saving us money, as well as helping the environment. Very happy to have found this brand!
Perfect modern cloth nappy! – Ordered a couple of candies the try as I had heard very good things about them and love the bamboo delights from this company. After a slight delay due to an packing mistake (which was professionally handled!) I got to try them! I was not disappointed. Easy to use, relatively trim fit and high quality material! More importantly No leaks!!il I would definitely recommend these to others! Show details
Favourite premium cloth nappy – We have tried a few brands but these are our favourite. They come with both a trifold insert and a booster which is great for adapting to different absorption needs. They aren't bulky and are easy to put on. The lack of front adjusting snaps make them fuss free and very grandparent friendly (anyone can put them on). Show details
Negative reviews
Beware of Bubble Bubs nappies, dangerous for kids – These nappies are great to look at but never ever use them. I had a terrible experience as my baby has to suffer a lot because of this substandard product. They claim to ensure best quality standards but clearly they don’t. Moms beware. Show details
Sacrificing Quality for Profits – Stay Away – I am writing this review to warn parents, Do Not Buy Bubble Bubs nappies. We were in a hurry and grabbed this box of nappies and it turned out to be a huge blunder. My baby developed blisters and rashes after using these. I am sure they are getting the products manufactured from some unreliable and untested third-party to cut costs. Stay away from this brand. Show details
I couldn't get a good fit with them – I really wanted to love these nappies. The shells have great prints with nice materials, although I didn't like the stiffness or feel of the inserts as much some other brands. I just could not get these nappies to stop leaking. They just didn't fit my bub well at all. He couldn't last even 2 hours in them. After loads and loads of extra laundry… Read more
which WEREN'T nappies but rather wet/soiled clothes and sheets, I finally accepted the fact that they just weren't for my bub. I have since has success with a different brand. All that being said they do have a wonderful community where many people tried to help me as much as possible with troubleshooting the cause of my leaks. They seem to work for the majority of the bubs out there, but just make sure to buy a trial pack and try them more than twice before buying a whole lot more only to find you fluked the trial nappies!

Excellent quality product! – We have been using the Bubblebubs Candies on our son since he was 4 weeks old (now 5mths). We have not used a single disposable nappy since discovering this brand and product. The nappies come with a variety of cute designs, and with the adjustable side snaps they easily fit our baby as he keeps growing. We use a booster for overnight and never… Read more
have night leaks or need a night change. Nappies and inserts are very well made/high quality. We follow the MCN washing guidelines and they wash up extremely well.

High quality and durable Cloth Nappy – We have been using bubble bubs for over two years now. We wash them and dry them in the dryer machine regularly. We had one a button feel off the nappy shell after two years. Their customer service team went above and beyond to solve this little issue. We definitely will recommend this brand to others to support this fantastic small business. Just hope they can develop training cloth nappy for toddlers. Show details
Great nappies – I love the size of these nappies. They are so comfortable for my baby. The nappies are soft and secure! And very absorbable! The quality feels 10/10. They are my go to nappy every time Show details
Bubblebubs Candies Addict! – I was always set on using modern cloth nappies due to the environmental benefits, so when I found out I was pregnant I began researching. There are many options on the MCN market and I quickly became very confused, until I came across Bubblebubs. They have a lot of very useful educational videos that really helped me to navigate the confusing… Read more
times! I purchased a few Candies to trial after bub came along, and it wasn't long before I was addicted and looking for more. And when I had more, I was looking for more still.
Candies are easy to put together, easy to fit, easy to clean, and after being a bit dubious about the cloth nappy thing initially, my husband is onboard with them too!
Super easy to use! – I was really determined to try using cloth nappies for my Bub due to economical impact, less cost, and being better for his skin. When I started reading about cloth nappies is was a bit overwhelming but I am glad to have found Bubblebubs as they have made it so easy! Bub is 9 weeks old and I wish I started using these nappies from day 1. I had a… Read more
few sample Pebbles (smaller than the Candies) and I loved them and was sold on wanting to purchase the Candies to continue using cloth nappies. They have been easy to use, and the fit being perfect as Bub is smaller- can confirm no poo explosions so far! The cleaning has been super easy and my partner who was a bit hesitant on the idea has also found it super easy. Love Love Love!
Best reusable nappy we have found – We have tried a few reusable nappies and have found these are by far the best for a few reasons; very easy to use and fit. No leakages as yet and been using for 5 months. Show details
Love love love – We love our candies for our newborn. So easy to use and keep clean. We feel happy that we are doing out bit for the environment and saving money in the long term. Show details
Love our candies – I love these nappies ! We did a lot of research before purchasing a full time pack for our daughter and couldn’t be happier. The candies are simple to change and the washing machine takes care of all the cleaning. When away On holidays we use disposables and our daughter has more trouble during these times with nappy rash... in her candies we do not have an issue. Show details
The Best Nappies!! – Theses are my absolute favourite nappies. I’ve tried quite a few different brands of mcns but nothing has come close the candies. My only regret is not purchasing them long ago. The elastics are soft and don’t leave horrible intense red marks like others have. The covers are so soft and I love that there’s no rise snaps making them nice and trim… Read more
fitting. The inserts are perfect we can get 3 hours out of them without the booster on my 13mo. I love the fact that the inserts snap in so they don’t move around and if the covers aren’t wet or dirty when changing they can be used again with a fresh insert and it saves washing and wear of the covers. They’re so easy to get on bub and she can’t undo them like velcro nappies and disposables. Definitely would recommend these nappies!
Love these nappies! – I've been using bubblebubs nappies since my little one was 1 week old! They are soooo easy to use and they look amazing! The Candies are great as they can be adjusted to fit any stage of a growing bub. Love the side snapping and front elastic as it means no ugly rise snaps wrecking the beautiful prints like other nappies. Highly recommend Candies! They are fabulous!!! Show details

Awesome nappies! – These nappies are awesome, easy for adults to use and difficult for bub to undo, our absolute favourites! The super absorbent bamboo inserts are very easy to use, to wash and to dry. I usually use the booster every time with my heavy wetter and we've never had any leaks. Not the cheapest nappy on the market, but you definitely get what you pay for. Show details
I recommend for everyone! – Fitted my little one so well through all her stages with no annoying rise snaps. So easy to use and launder. But it's more than the nappy, it's the community of love, fun and support. Show details
Fantastic, absorbant and easy to use – I bought these when my first was 8 months old as part of the post expo sales and was blown away by how good they were. I'd been using cheap and cheerful ones from eBay before them and was at the point of giving up because I was sick of leaks. These nappies rarely leak and when they do, it's usually because I've been lazy or they're in need of a… Read more
strip wash. After two more years with my first and 6 months with my second (they fitted her from birth but she was a 4kg bub), they're still going strong. Would definitely recommend them to a new mum.
Take all my money – I seriously love the bubblebub candies! They are easy to fit on my wriggling 6month old and the absorbency is second to none! The prints are amazing too. Their customer service is great too. Show details
Excellent – Wanted to use cloth with my first but the nappies that a friend gave me leaked within the hour and I found it all too hard. Another friend recommended bubblebubs candies for my second and I haven't looked back. Super easy to use. I just remember to change him every 2-3 hours. I started at 6 months, so when the poos were solid and he was a bit bigger. Can't fault them. Show details
High quality; Bomb proof cloth nappies – Love these nappies. I was deliberating a lot about whether to go a full stash in Candies or mix and match with other brands, but I’m glad I chose Bubblebubs! Cute prints abound - although they do in every brand, so what I’m saying is, you’re not missing out. But underneath the cute print is quality materials, even the second hand ones I’ve bought… Read more
still hold up. Absolutely bomb proof, 2 months in and we are yet to have a poonami out of a Candie (my friends in disposables can’t believe it). Very absorbent and a good booster option too when bub needs it. The minky ones are particularly soft, my fave.
Cloth baby bum, happy Mum – Love my Candies. First time cloth mum & these nappies are so easy to use. They fit my bub well (6kg 7wk old) & he looks super cute in them. Customer service is fantastic which is a huge plus in my book. I'll definitely be buying more of this brand (have found 24 nappies are not enough & I wash every day). Thanks Vicki for creating such a great product :) Show details
The Best! – I've used a different brand of MCNs years ago and had so many issues with leaks etc I gave up. On a whim, I ordered some Bubblebubs AI2 candies to try them again on my youngest bub. I loved their guarantee that you could return the nappies for a full refund if you had only used one and weren't happy - I had nothing to lose! I needn't have worried.… Read more
They are amazing! Easy to fit, quick to dry and best of all NO LEAKS! I'm so excited I will never have to use another disposable nappy ever again. Love them!
Love these nappies – The designs are super cute! They fit nicely on my 4month old baby and will hopefully last until he is potty trained. They are much easier to set up compared to pocket nappies. I love them! Thank you bubblebubs!! Show details
Amazing and versatile nappy – Hands down the best nappy we’ve used. Tried a few and candies are the most versatile - fit so many shapes and size babies and you can use the inserts and booster for boosting with a Bubblebubs cover for night as well. Customer service is second to none! We no longer purchase other nappies now we’ve found Bubblebubs.
The best MCN for my bub – The candies are amazing. My bub is fairly small for his age (6kg at 7.5 months) and has fit these well for a while, and another friend uses them on her chunky monkey. They're so versatile with size. The side snaps make doing up on a wriggly bub soooo much easier, and they're a very thirsty nappy - even without the booster. Such a great nappy, they're now my main stash and what I reach for first. The prints are also so much fun!! Show details
The perfect nappy for chunky bubs! – BEST nappies for chunky thighs. One of only 2 brands that don't leave awful red marks. Beautifully soft (we use minky), easy to wash, stuff and fit. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Show details
Love my candies! – Fantastic nappies- no leaks, easy to use and fit (even hubby is on board). I started my MCN journey with Candies- totally love them. Quality fabulous, great customer care, and super gorgeous patterns. Love that I’ve shed some environmental guilt, and less chemicals against bubs skin. Show details
