I remember helping my aunt carry in several of these long and thin packs of Pampers from her car. I remember it being painful how much I wanted to rip it open and feel and hold and smell one. I think the idea of wearing one was almost too much to think about at the time.

Pampers Phases marked the switch to poly bags after nearly 3 decades of carbox use. Transition began with Luvs and Attends in late 1986/early 1987.

So I actually did all this a while ago but totally forgot this thread existed when I found all these images. The Huggies nappies are from Australia in the years between 1991 and 2004. I hope people don't mind the slight overlap just thought it best to keep them all together. I found them all through scrubbing old Aussie adverts on youtube. It's all we've really got down under in terms of archives of nappies.

I remember getting picked up by my mum when I was about 6 so 1997 and she had a pack of Huggies for me, as I was a bed wetter. So clearly remember that package.
When we got home I stacked them up in the closet. Still remember that day very well.

I’d love to have a pack of them.

I was thinking the same! The entire neighborhood knows what you are up to when mum arrives with those

Yup!

No hiding what you wear to bed with a big pack of those in your shopping!

1987/88-ish. Just before they went unisex.

These were the last Pampers sposies which came in cardboxes.

Starting with Pampers Phases P&G began the transition from cardboxes to poly bags.
