Win a hamper of Huggies® Dry Comfort® products
It's safe to say that for most new parents, the diaper change is the least glamorous of the lot. Fortunately, with the right essentials in your everyday arsenal, changing time can be easier, more comfortable and more pleasant for you and baby. There's so much to think about: feeding times, sleep rhythms, healthy development and of course, diaper changing. If there was ever a word that summed up the experience of becoming a parent, it would be 'responsibility.' Having a diaper that provides a snug fit is the best way to prevent untimely accidents and messy leaks. And of course, as many parents will attest, a comfortable baby is a happy baby, so diapers need to be soft and gentle. Huggies® Dry Comfort® Diaper's 7 fantastic features: The design of this diaper doesn't compromise on fit. Its flexible waistband provides baby with freedom of movement while ensuring that the diaper remains securely in place. 1. Stays dry for up to 12 hours: Parents literally go through thousands of diapers during the first three years of their little one's development. That's why you'll be thrilled to know that the Huggies® Dry Comfort® Diaper was designed for maximum absorbency for the longest time possible. Less diapers, more dryness. 2. Fast absorbing channels: New and improved absorbent channels are this diaper's secret superpower. These expertly designed panels help with maintaining a snug fit during use and ensures that the diaper does not sag when full. It also helps with fast absorption by allowing for the wider distribution of liquid across the surface area of the pad. 3. A 3D topical surge: Another Huggies® Dry Comfort® innovation is the pre-embossed topical surge liner inside every diaper. The technology behind this 3D liner supports faster and better absorption and the soft material creates that all-important comfort factor. Plus, the liner features adorable blue paw prints! 4. New outer cover designs: A Huggies® Dry Comfort® Diaper balances form and function, ensuring that design does not disappoint. The range comes in a variety of cute prints for that added element of fun. 5. Double leak guards for extra protection: This is one diaper that has a no-tolerance policy on leaks, so it doubles up on leak protection for extra peace of mind. 6. A back pocket for leakage protection: The brand-new anti-leak pocket is another big plus, because it provides one more safeguard for any runny poo that may try and sneak out the back of the diaper. As your little one grows and moves more, this little invention will be a lifesaver. 7. An extra wide flexible waistband: The design of this diaper doesn't compromise on fit. Its flexible waistband provides baby with freedom of movement while ensuring that the diaper remains securely in place. Complete the entry form below and stand a chance to win one of three Huggies hampers.

NBA Star Giannis Antetokounmpo on How Parenting Has Brought Out His ‘Soft Side'
Fact checked by Sarah Scott As a dad of four, Giannis Antetokounmpo has unsurprisingly dealt with some funny diaper moments. One of those is a recent late-night diaper change for his newborn Aria, born in early May. 'I couldn't see and she was fussy and I tried to change her diaper. All of a sudden, I started feeling something wet on my forearm and my palm,' he tells Parents. 'But it comes with the territory; it comes with being a parent.' With all the diapers his family has needed throughout the years, it makes sense that the NBA star—also dad to Liam, 5, Maverick, 3, and Eva, 20 months—is partnering with Huggies to promote the new Little Movers diapers. In an adorable campaign video, Eva joins her dad on the court and tries to copy his moves. 'Eva was able to show a little bit of her basketball skills,' the Milwaukee Bucks star jokes. 'I was very happy to do something like that with my daughter, which was a first; I've never done anything like that before.' Still, working with his family is unlikely to come as a surprise to fans. Since joining the league in 2013, Antetokounmpo has often spoken in interviews about the importance of family in his life and the joy of being a dad. Antetokounmpo and three of his brothers—Thanasis, Kostas, and Alex—were born and raised in Athens, Greece, where his Nigerian parents immigrated to in 1991. Their older son, Francis, remained in Nigeria. 'There was times that my mom wasn't able to afford diapers, and she used to use bed sheets as diapers for me and my brothers,' he says. 'I always had that in my mind.' For their first child, Antetokounmpo recalls he and his wife, Mariah Riddlesprigger, holding a big baby shower where they were gifted tons of baby essentials, including toys, books, diapers, and wipes. 'It took me back to the time that my mom wasn't able to afford all these things, and there weren't a lot of people that helped her,' he says. 'So me and my wife decided, instead of having a baby shower for our second son Maverick, we tried to raise money for as many diapers as we could and donate to people in need.' Support is needed as 1 in 2 American families can't afford enough diapers. This makes babies vulnerable to rashes, urinary tract infections, and more doctor visits. Antetokounmpo and his wife have since supported the Milwaukee Diaper Mission, to which Huggies is donating $100,000 worth of diapers. 'It's something that makes me happy, something that makes my family proud, and something that I think when my kids get older, they can see that as an example and copy it,' he says of giving back. While his NBA career means he's on the road often, Antetokounmpo is a mush when he's back home. 'I love hugging my kids and kissing them and cuddling them and playing with them and wrestling them,' he says. 'Growing up, I didn't have that as much from my dad. So this is a soft side of me with my kids that a lot of people don't know about. I want to keep it that way, just for my kids.' 'But also,' he continues, 'I think I'm a dad that's straight to the point, big on respect, like respect your mom, respect your dad, respect your elders, and making sure they're grateful and appreciative of all the things.' The 30-year-old also highlights his wife, whom he turns to for parenting advice when needed. 'I have an incredible wife that pretty much shows me the ropes of how to take care of my kids,' he says, adding that he also turns to his mother, Veronica, and his older brother, Thanasis, who has two kids. Overall, his mission is for his kids to feel the same comfort he felt growing up. 'Even though I wasn't raised with a lot, I felt loved; I felt a home full of joy,' he says. 'It was always lively in the house.' Antetokounmpo's four kids may have all been born in the United States, but he is making it a point to teach them about their Nigerian and Greek roots. 'I try as much as I can to speak Greek to them. It's a very hard language to pick up,' he says. 'But we spend a lot of time in Greece, and do a lot of summer camps. Sometimes they go for a month or two to Greek summer schools, so they could try to pick up as much Greek as they can.' It's a work in progress. 'It's easier when I go to Greece because I'm not gonna lie to you, I sometimes forget my Greek. I'm in the States for 7, 8, 9 months at a time, and my wife is American, so I don't speak a lot of Greek. But anytime we go to Greece, or even now, when I speak to them in Greek, they understand everything. Like when I tell them, 'Come here,' 'How was your day?' 'How was school?' 'Do you want to go play basketball?' 'It's time to go to bed'—all those things in Greek, they understand. But they cannot speak back to me.' While Antetokounmpo's father passed away in 2017, his kids learn about their Nigerian roots by spending time with his mother. 'That also helps to kind of understand the Nigerian culture and what Nigeria is about,' he says. Antetokounmpo may be regarded as one of the greatest NBA players of all time, but you won't find evidence of his fame at home. He has a rule: no basketball photos of him hanging on the walls. The only ones you'll see are family-related. 'Anything that has to do with fame and attention, it's not in my house,' he says. 'I don't want my kids to grow up in that environment. I want them to feel like home is always their base; whenever they come back home, they can feel safe, they can feel comfortable, they can be confident, they can be themselves, and it's something that I'm going to continue to do.' Although his kids are still too young to fully understand who he is, Antetokounmpo hopes watching him play as they grow will inspire them. 'I don't really mind if they're good at basketball. I don't mind if they are doctors or lawyers or engineers or whatever they choose to be. I just want them to fall in love with the process of getting better in whatever they choose to do,' he says. 'That's what I've done my whole career. I've always tried to improve my game, my leadership, and I just want them to be able to copy that. It might not be basketball; it might be something else that they love, but I want them to wake up every single day and figure out ways to improve and enjoy the process and love what they do.'

Ever Wondered What Life Is Like Aboard The International Space Station?
Last Updated: Ever wondered how astronauts brush their teeth, sleep, or even eat on the International Space Station? Sunita Williams shows what happens onboard. On March 18, 2025, astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore safely returned to Earth after an unexpectedly extended nine-month mission in space. Due to technical issues with their spacecraft, their mission on the International Space Station (ISS) was prolonged. During her extended stay, Sunita Williams faced numerous challenges, including physiological issues such as bone loss, muscle atrophy, and vision changes, as well as the psychological stress of isolation. Sunita offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily routines of astronauts in space. In an old video, she demonstrates how astronauts function in microgravity – from eating and sleeping to the unique challenge of using the bathroom. It's a rare, behind-the-scenes look at life in zero gravity. Watch the video here. The sleeping accommodations aboard the International Space Station (ISS) are tiny but useful. Sunita explains: 'Four out of six of us sleep here, and people always ask—do you lie down? Are you in bed? Not really, because it doesn't matter! You don't have the sensation of lying down. You just get in your sleeping bag." Every astronaut has a Sleep Station, which is a tiny space resembling a phone booth and furnished with a sleeping bag and personal belongings, including clothes, computers, and books. Because there isn't a 'right side up" like there is on Earth, astronauts can sleep in any position, even upside down. How do astronauts go to the lavatory? One of the most frequently asked questions about space travel is how astronauts use the lavatory. Sunita answers this curiosity with a light-hearted yet informative demonstration, shedding light on the challenges of bathroom routines in zero gravity. 'For number two, there's a small seat – you need good aim! And for number one, we use this hose. It's colour-coded, so we don't mix things up. And both have suction to make sure everything goes in the right direction!" As per the video, the ISS toilet uses a vacuum suction technology to stop faeces from floating. Additionally, astronauts have a variety of toilet paper options, ranging from disinfecting towels to Russian wipes. 'Toilet paper? We have different options! Russian wipes, tissues, Huggies – just in case – and disinfectant wipes, because, well, things can get out of control!" Williams also says in the video. How can one brush their teeth in microgravity? In space, brushing your teeth is a very different experience. Astronauts must be creative because water doesn't flow the same way it does on Earth. 'Toothpaste sticks to the brush, and so does water – it forms a floating bubble because of surface tension. You can either swallow the toothpaste (not recommended at home!) or spit it into a paper towel," Sunita Williams reveals in the clip. Astronauts use tiny blobs of water that cling to surfaces to rinse their toothbrushes in space, making brushing their teeth a unique challenge in microgravity. How do astronauts eat in space? Astronauts eat together in the kitchen. A combination of Japanese, Russian, and American space food is stored aboard the ISS. While some meals can be heated and consumed as usual, others are dehydrated and must be rehydrated with water, the video mentions. In addition, meats, vegetables, snacks, and even candies are among the many meals that astronauts like to eat.

Set to the beat of Ludacris' 'Stand Up,' the ad showcases Giannis' smooth strides on the court alongside Eva's adorable, wobbly attempts to mimic him. This heartwarming moment highlights the campaign's idea: 'Double the stretch* for when your little double starts to move like you do' 'Partnering with Huggies is a natural fit because they truly understand what it means to be a parent,' said Antetokounmpo.
