Baby nappys are crap

Has anyone noticed that no matter what brand of nappy or where they are from. They have become really crap compared to a few years back?

I've used Sainsbury's for years (different DC) and am still really happy with them.

Yes! My eldest is 5 now but when he was in nappies they suddenly got worse when he was about 18m, all the brands seemed to go for this tube design and it seemed so much more likely to leak. DS2 is still in nappies and I swear they've recently got worse again!

I was going to say the same. We've used sainsburys for both DC and never had an issue

I disagree. Tesco's nappies were awful around 8 years ago but are much better now. Sainsbury's used to be excellent and are still better than other brands, but they are smellier when wet than others. Aldi are still very good but Lidl not so much. Pampers are overpriced and not any better than Boots/Sainsbury's.

If you've tried ALL the brands of disposables and are still not happy, perhaps it's time to look into re-usable cloth nappies? There are loads of styles to try and you are potentially saving money and the planet, as well as avoiding chemicals against baby's skin.

We used Lidl for DD1 and Aldi for DD2 (moved house in between so wasn't close to Lidl any more). Both worked fine, very few leaks and cheap.

17caterpillars1mouse · 12/10/2024 20:11

Yes! Used to use a mix of Lidl and Sainsburys with dd1 and aldi with dd2. All leak through with ds1. Assumed it was because he's a boy, though lidl are now really awful, but thinking the quality has just really decreased. Only using pampers with my boy now as despite sizing up nappies, vests etc, making sure penis is pointing down and changing every 2 hours I was still having to change his outfits several times a day due to leaks.

Try cloth. They work so much better.

ThankGodForDancingFruit · 12/10/2024 20:19

I have been using Eco by Naty since birth for my DS, as wanted to use cloth initially but was struggling with recovery - so went for the most ‘ethical’ I could find that were readily available.

Only ever had two leaks! And baby has never had any nappy rash or sore skin.

Yes we think that gs is 6 and his brother is 18 months. I think the same as you dd had tried all brands. But they are crap

Another vote for Sainsbury’s. I have 3 in nappies x

YouveGotAFastCar · 12/10/2024 20:36

Pampers work brilliantly for us, DS is three and we’ve never had a leak.

But I do think it’s quite individual and probably down to body shape, and what fits best.

southwestmum88 · 12/10/2024 20:40

Another vote for sainsburys...love, love them! Lidl are terrible for my DS as he does huge wees and then simply don't hold it all. Pampers are extortionate, who on earth wants to spend £9 on nappies???
