to warn you Tesco's new nappies now cause rashes!?

I've used Tesco own brand nappies for nearly 2 years now and they've been great.

However, they have recently changed the design (change NOT indicated on the packaging) to have a stretchy waistband at the back. As you can see in the photos the old ones are completely smooth and the new ones are rumpled and stretchy.

I thought this was fine at first but after a couple of days I noticed my toddler has developed a red rash in the exact area where the waistband has changed - see photo. It's such a distinctive shape there is no doubt that the nappy caused it.

I have phoned Tesco and they simply told me to return them to the store for a refund.

AIBU to think this is not a satisfactory response and to ask MNers to reconsider buying these in future especially if your children have sensitive skin?

I will be buying Morrisons nappies instead from now on. Fortunately we'll be potty training in a few months.

WellErrr - thanks for your concern. What are your thoughts on this one?

The trouble is, they will have tested them and it will have been fine in 99% of cases.

Errr I wouldn't recognise my infant bottom if I saw a photo of it now, would anybody? Bit weird reporting the op.

We had similar when asda changed there nappies but said they had only changed the packaging. Reporting a thread because of a picture of nappy rash is a bit much. Hmm

I think wellerrr is actually working for tesco

I agree with Wellerrr a pic of your kids butt was abit unnecessary. Share your own if you want but sticking a pic of someone else's on the internet disrespectful whatever their age

I wonder if it's a reaction to latex, OP?

It's also been a bit warmer, the past few days. Nappies can be horribly sweaty things.

I have just changed to Tesco and my little girl has developed a nasty rash where the green strip is on the nappy. So far I have tried asda and Morrison's ones and looks like asda will be getting my business for them.

Ooh my DD has been getting that rash from tesco nappies too. I didn't actually realise that's what was causing it until you pointed it out but it's exactly the same as your DDs Blush

My oh got a pack of these last week and my lo has had a terrible rash and today was itching like mad... Didn't think that it was the nappyBlush

Are you serious ? you could have simply PM'd the OP instead of doing the dirty trick that you chose to do !!!

Not had problem with the tesco...the boots one did the same for my daughter.

YouMeanYouForgotCranberriesToo · 09/12/2016 22:24

Morrisons nappies give my dd a raah, we had to get rid of them. Annoying as we had a full pack and an open one. Maybe some nappies don't suit some children? Rubbish that it could do that on any child though.
