Or any others for that matter. Which nappies do you think are overall the best for your LOs? TIA

I like Boots for skinny, toddler girl and Asda for fat, 3 month boy! Did not like Pampers at all for either. Both started to get nappy rash in them. I like Asda best for newborn nappies as they don't have the mesh lining that Pampers and Aldi have, which irritated mine.

Tesco. Cheaper than the big brands, and in my experience, better. Pampers were ok for the smaller sizes, but seemed to leak in the larger sizes.

Aldi for the day and pampers at night. However i'm now going reusable with my 13 month old due to constant nappy rash flare up.

Notsosureanymoors · 14/07/2017 23:12

Pampers are terrible the worst you'll ever use everyone i know thats used them has had their baby leak through them. They are crap. Lidl are good but in my opinion Asda own brand and Aldi are both amazing. My DD has pretty much slept through since day 1 and I've never had a leak using them, however she leaked all the time with pampers.

Helbelle75 · 14/07/2017 23:14

Pampers are great for us. Dd is a long baby and they seem to suit her.

Mammylamb · 14/07/2017 23:17

Aldi for us! My son seems to leak through every other kind!

Jakeyboy1 · 14/07/2017 23:18

Tesco for my skinny girls. Pampers great but expensive. Aldi too big on the leg.

Loulou2kent · 14/07/2017 23:21

Asda for newborns. They do lovely silk ones! Tesco since. I really hate having to use other nappies if Tesco don't have a delivery slot in time & I need emergency ones from elsewhere. I use their wipes too. But if I'm in Aldi I stock up on their sensitive wipes & nappy sacks. They are packaged so well & you don't ruin the packet or the wipes when your in a rush!

Pampers didn't agree with neither of my sons. They both got a rash from the gel they use to lock in the wetness & I couldn't stand the smell.

It's personal preference though as they fit & kind of bulge in different places. I miss buying Huggies in bulk from amazon.

Pampers active fit for long skinny girl, everything else is much bulkier. Asda seemed to burst all the time when used overnight and Sainsbury's irritates her.

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 14/07/2017 23:22

I switched to Lidl after Pampers began leaking.

At the pull ups at night stage and have no issues with Aldi or Morrisons.

I hate Tesco ones! They leak and they stink of wee if not changed quickly, especially overnight. Pampers (but not the magical pod ones) are best

StylishDuck · 14/07/2017 23:25

Only ever used Pampers for DD (2.5) and never had a leak, unless they're not put on properly.

TheMasterNotMargarita · 14/07/2017 23:25

Asda. Pampers leaked every night. Asda practically never. Just got some Asda pull ups to try the other day, they seem to fit well but only used them once so far.

TheMasterNotMargarita · 14/07/2017 23:26

Not keen on Boots either they didnt fit well.

Amanduh · 14/07/2017 23:27

Loved Pampers and had no issues. Found they lasted the longest overnight! Just started using Aldi and am very impressed and like the quality. Not impressed by Asda, they feel very flimsy

skyzumarubble · 14/07/2017 23:32

Pampers worked for us - we tried Lidl and ended up with bum rash and Tesco leaked.

Tulaloolaboo · 14/07/2017 23:36

Pampers are the best for us (long baby)
I've tried Lidl, Aldi & Asda and lo leaked with both of them (plus I personally thought the Asda ones had a funky smell when wet)

DaisysStew · 14/07/2017 23:39

Pampers and Aldi work for me. Usually use pampers at night as they seem to not leak as much.

Didn't like the Asda little angels range but think the own brand pull ups (the paw patrol ones) are quite good for daytime.

mimarbia · 14/07/2017 23:41

Have always used Pampers and never had any issues, tested some Asda pull up pants through mn a while ago and wasn't impressed as they leaked.

kel1234 · 14/07/2017 23:43

I've only ever used pampers and only ever will

Sapiosexual · 14/07/2017 23:45

Asda little angels brand are lovely and soft and wide enough to contain my ds's big bum.

Bought Sainsburys own brand in an emergency and they were horrible. Stiff, cheap looking and barely fit round the thighs.

scaredofthecity · 14/07/2017 23:46

pampers for us. sturdy, no leaks and no nappy rash. We buy in bulk.

RocketPockets · 14/07/2017 23:49

I think it's trial and error, ive heard such different experiences from different people! I found Aldi leaked at night, as did the bigger pampers sizes, Tesco or boots are best for us at the moment (one year old, short but not very big) pampers were really good in the smaller sizes

nailslikeknives · 14/07/2017 23:49

Pampers for my 50th percentile, averaged size DS2, Boots for my super long & thin DS1

Winelover93 · 14/07/2017 23:49

Pampers are the worst! Aldi and boots are my favs
