My son is in size 4 nappies and is 1 year old. I find pampers baby dry a good, comfy fit.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
I found pampers baby dry to be very good at keeping my son dry overnight, we've never had any leaks apart from explosive poos out the back! I would definitely use them again and never buy anything but pampers nappies.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?
I think they were great for dryness and leakage protection.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?
I think pampers baby dry are about the most expensive nappies you can buy but if you think, you wont have to change them as often because of the dryness they offer, they may work out to be good value. If you bulk-buy and wait for special offers which i often do, they will be even better value.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes defintely because they keep my son dry, arent too bulky, feel soft and comfy and are a good fit that dont leak.

I tried the size 4 nappies for my 9 months old daughter.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
They look thinner and lighter than other brand nappies. Very absorbent and reliable. Yes I would use them again,as I found with my daughter started to roll on her belly to sleep, she will wake in the morning with wet clothes however with Pampers we don't have this problem as she is still dry in the morning.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?
They were marvellous as they kept my baby dry all night long and no leaking nappy at all.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?
They are a bit pricey but with the offers going with different shops at time it is worth stocking then.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, as I believe other mums like me would like to wake up with the baby being dry after a good night sleep.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
Great for overnight and in the day ... At least for wetness. No urine leakage or soaking through in the nightly 8 hr period which my LO has been wearing them. Poop however is a different matter, though this isn't too much of a problem as DS only poops every 5 - 7 days. The nappies themselves feel lovely, soft and comfortable, but are a snugger fit than Pampers Newborn Size 3. The tab system occasionally pops undone, if laying the tabs over each other, but this is solved if you can catch part of both tabs on the nappy itself. I'll definitely continue to use this product, particularly overnight, but potentially not on poop days.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?
Hands down the best nappies i have found for keeping liquid contained. no matter how heavy it feels when you take it off, baby is dry. I generally use Sainsbury Little One nappies at home in the day, for cost, though they need changing very regularly, and Pampers Newborn when out and about which soak through more easily than Baby Dry but are great for containing poop! with the Baby Dry We've ended up on a few occasions with poop out of the leg holes, for relatively small nappy contents. Slightly worse than a different Pampers product, but much better than own brands. For urine dryness and leakage though top marks.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?
Whilst they are a great product, they are very costly. I tend to scour shops and web for deals on Pampers. I'd much rather spend the time finding them on offer, in order to be able to afford them, than have to use brands I don't trust.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
Absolutely! The cute designs are great conversation starters when changing baby and trying to engage them. The product lives up to its name and the Pampers reputation. I've always been advised to use the brand and will definitely advise parents to use them.

BlastOff · 14/05/2013 23:13

Please state the age of your baby/child and the size of nappy you were trying in your response.

23 month old in size 4 nappies.

Size wise, these were ok and did the job despite being a bit snug - he's better in size 5 though..

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?

Excellent - slimline/not too bulky, already use them and will continue to do so. Have no intention of changing. Feel nice - not too 'papery' as some are.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?

Haven't let us down yet! All night dryness and appear to be comfortable! Haven't got on with another well known brand in the past with other dc, and trust babydry for a dry night.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

Nappies are SO expensive. I think they are all expensive but obviously branded more so than supermarket. That said, I buy these because I think they are the best and most reliable.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes, I absolutely would.

Cacacaz · 15/05/2013 07:02

I tried the size 3 nappies for my 6 month old son.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?

I was impressed with the fit if the nappies, they seemed snug around the leg area, which helped contain his explosive poos for the most part. On occasion they leaked with an explosive poo, as have all the other nappies I've tried. I would definitely use the nappies again, especially overnight as we had no leaks after 13 hours.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness
I've previously used huggies, aldi and asda little angels nappies, I felt that the pampers performed as well as the others kin coping with explosive poos. Each nappy, including pampers, has failed at least on one occasion to contain a poo without leaking. In terms of dryness protection I rate pampers the highest, with all the other nappies my sons skin has felt damp or tacky in the morning. With pampers his skin felt dry.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

I think pampers are expensive in comparison with the supermarket brands of nappy. They do see to perform better so perhaps the cost will balance out as a direct result of less frequent changes. That said I have must bought some as they were on offer.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes I would recommend the nappies due to their absorbency and fit.

HannahCW · 15/05/2013 09:24

I used Size 3 on my four month old daughter.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?

I was very pleased with the nappies. I'd bought Pampers New Baby previously, but was thinking of switching to own brand and so was also using Asda Size 3 to compare. I would use both again, but think I'm more likely to use Pampers as they're thinner and less bulky when wet.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?

The Pampers nappies were excellent in terms of dryness and leakage protection. I couldn't ask for anything more. The Adsa own brand were good, however I never left them on for as long as Pampers as I knew they would be leak proof overnight.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

I would be unlikely to pay full price as nappies are always on offer somewhere! I found that in a recent supermarket offer however, you only recieved a few less Pampers nappies compared to own brand for the same price. I'd be happy to have a few less for the price, as the Pamper's nappies are less bulky.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

I have recommended Pampers to other mums. They do the job well and my daughter's never had nappy rash in them. I like that they're less bulky too and when on offer prices are very competitive with own brand. I'll be sticking with Pampers!

scissy · 15/05/2013 10:34

I tried the size 3 nappies on my DD.

Q1: I liked the thinness of these nappies compared to own brand nappies, however I was disconcerted by the smell on opening the packet (definite waft of chemicals!) I'd use them again, but probably only for overnight as they did a good job of keeping her dry overnight, but were useless at containing poo (I've not had this problem with own brand nappies that I've used).

Q2: In terms of dryness she felt dryer than with own brand nappies, particularly overnight BUT in terms of leakage they were pretty poor, they leaked every time she did a poo (I don't have this issue with the brand I usually use) and sometimes during the day too, but I suspect this is because they don't fit her so well around the legs.

Q3: They are expensive compared to others that I've tried, I'd probably keep a packet for night-time use only and stick to my regular brand during the day.

Q4: I'd recommend them for the overnight dryness aspect, although I'd suggest they check the fit first - they don't seem to fit my baby very well!

EstoyAqui · 15/05/2013 21:15

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?

I really love Pampers. I try to buy them for DS whenever they are on special. They fit his shape well and I like that they have stretchy sides as many of the own brand nappies don't have this.

I would buy them again but even with the bulk discounts they are expensive compared to other brands and very expensive compared to own label nappies.

I was hoping to try these as he is a super night wee-er. I found him no less heavy in the morning in terms of wee but his skin seemed better off for them. I would perhaps use them as his night time nappy instead of the own brand ones we currently use.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?

Pampers are a great nappy. I find that they fit his shape well and I like that they are not bulky in his clothing bag. He likes the designs on them and I like that they can be trusted.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

They are good for what they are, but at the moment I am reviewing every brand that goes into our trolley and sadly Pampers do not offer enough to make the price difference worthwhile. I would love to only purchase this brand of nappy but they are twice the cost per unit of our existing nappies.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes, they are a great product and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

evanoone · 15/05/2013 21:22

I tried size 3 on my 12 month old and couldn't fault them at all.
They were nice and soft and also not bulky which can be a problem with other brands.
I am confident when my little one goes down at night that she will have a dry bottom in the morning!

Julestar · 15/05/2013 22:29

4 months DD, size 3

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
The nappies are lovely and soft, and were excellent at holding urine and keeping her dry, including overnight. Sadly though, having used them for 2 weeks, every time (and I mean EVERY time) my DD has poo'd we've had a leak to deal with. This has been immediate, even when I have just changed her into a fresh nappy. She is breastfed, so the poos are always quite runny/explosive.

I also think the blue tone of the nappy is quite boyish (perhaps that's just me being fussy), and I really dislike the random little yellow blob either side of the inside leg, as at first glance (you know, when you pull their trousers back to check the nappy) I keep thinking it is the mark of a leaking poo!

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?
Huggies seemed more effective for my DD; I'm now trying supermarket own brands and will let you know idc!

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?
No, they are more expensive than supermarket brands, and I'm not convinced that the performance is any better for my DD at the moment. They are noticably softer though, and therefore I might reconsider using them if nappy rash became a problem. I also might return to using them once she is weaned and her stools are more solid.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
I wouldn't recommend them, but I wouldn't be too dismissive either. Every baby is different - slightly different shapes and different toilet habits. Although my DD didn't get on so well with Pampers, I wouldn't rule out for others (particularly children with more solid stools).

Pampers Baby Dry:
Carry Pack - £6.49
Economy Pack - £9.99

Bringmewineandcake · 15/05/2013 22:33

My baby is 6 months old and we tried the size 4 nappies.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?

These seemed to be of a high quality inline with the other Pampers nappies I've tried, with the exception of the Simply Dry which is an inferior nappy IMO. The Baby-Dry felt well made, soft and secure.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?

I tried Huggies Newborn when my daughter was first born, also tried Sainsburys own once, but on the whole I choose Pampers as I find them to be secure and a quality product. We've never had a wet leakage and the solid only escapes when there is a particularly large amount of it. This would be the case with any nappy I think, and I don't seem to spend an inordinate amount of time scrubbing baby clothes so I consider these nappies extremely reliable for protection.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

There is generally an offer on Pampers and I do tend to shop around till I find one so I'm not concerned by the price. I wouldn't spend £17+ in one go on nappies so the Mega and Giga boxes would not be of interest to me. Now that Huggies have stopped selling nappies in the UK I am concerned that Pampers may raise their price due to a lack of competition but only time will tell.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes I would - I'm happy to use them on my own child so would recommend them to others.

EarnestDullard · 15/05/2013 22:44

DD2is 7mo, we tried size 4.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
They felt soft, seemed to be comfortable for DD2, fastened easily and felt secure. Very absorbent, good for night time use.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?
They coped as well as any other brands I've tried.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?
I think they are expensive, especially compared to supermarket brands, but I find them to be more absorbent so I'm happy to pay the extra. I bulk buy if they're on offer to save a bit.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would recommend them, as I've never had any problems with them.

SalIvatingDave · 15/05/2013 23:13

I've been trying these on DS2, 5 months, size 3.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?

I was surprised at how much they can collect. Heavy nappy in the morning, but skin dry. Yes, I will use again, but prefer Active Fit during the day as had dirty nappy leakages with the Baby-Dry.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?

Better than Lidl nappies we tried before. Better for nighttime than Active Fit (normally we just buy one type and use for both day and night). Still not the ultimate explosive poo nappy, if such a thing exists, but good.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

I only buy nappies when on promotion or a small pack if an emergency. Therefore, if there is no deals for Pampers, I'm most likely to switch to another brand, even if slightly less impressive.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes, for nighttime I would. For daytime I wouldn't necessary pay more than others if you can get the right fit for your child.

solongivewaited · 15/05/2013 23:16

I used them on my small 11 month old baby.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
A good nappy for overnight use but I probably wouldn't use them again because they seemed to be prone to leakage when my baby began moving around in the mornings.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?
For dryness they were very good. But we have had two leaks in the week that we have used them. This is much more frequent than the nappies that we were using previously.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?
Comparatively expensive given the issues we have encountered.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
Wouldn't recommend Pampers Baby-dry because they do not offer a clear benefit to justify their premium price.

gkhil · 15/05/2013 23:19

I tried size 3 baby dry nappies on my 3 month old.

Nappies were good at keeping her dry especially through the night but we did have some leakages which were always around the legs! I must admit I didn't find the baby dry nappies as good as the pampers new baby size 3s we were using before, however as there is no size 4 in these nappies we will be using baby dry as she gets bigger. Pampers are considerably more expensive than own brand nappies but if they keep little one dryer I'm happy to pay bit more. Would recommend this product to friends.

ChasingStaplers · 15/05/2013 23:40

DS is 4 months old and we tried the size 3s. These were a little small so we could probably have done with a size 4.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?

Looked and felt good quality when first getting them out of the packet. I liked that they are thinner than supermarket own nappies and slightly shaped. Generally speaking, the absorbency was good and they did keep DS dry, even when left on overnight. I would use them again because they did what they were supposed to do - kept DS fairly dry and fresh as well as comfortable. (DS is one of those babies who hates having a wet/dirty nappy and likes to be changed immediately after having a poo!)

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?

I was quite impressed with the dryness and leakage protection - more so than I expected. Apart from one slight leakage from the leg after 12 hours + sleep followed by an early morning (rather large) poo we had no other issues. Recently we've had to throw away a couple of babygrows after a couple of explosive up-the-back-poos. We were using Tesco own brand at the time. Although there is slight dampness after 12 hours sleep it is considerably less than when using other nappies.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

I would tend to buy Pampers when they're on offer (I have an older DS who is still in nappies too) as I find them to be quite expensive comparatively although after this trial the cost seems less prohibitive as I used less nappies than I would if I'd been using supermarket own (plus I haven't had to change DS in the night which is definitely a bonus!). I still think they're a bit pricey but would be more willing to consider them, even at full price, due to the quality. (I'd still look for special offers though and would never buy the small carry packs as they are poor value, in my opinion)

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes. I'd recommend them. They did a good job, were good quality and I seem to have some sense of trust in the brand acquired from knowing my parents used them (which makes no sense but is still the case!) I've used them for 3DC of varying lengths and weights and have found them to fit well. I like that they aren't bulky and even though DS2 is a bit of a chunk they aren't tight or uncomfortable on him so I don't have to loosen them, thus compromising on potential leakage.

keelo123 · 15/05/2013 23:40

first impressions were very positive, I love the unique happy designs and they are really soft to touch. Perfect fitting size 4 on my average size 22 month old daughter. I love them, they do everything they're meant too! As for pricing, they are a bit expensive but your getting what you've paid for in quality and reassurance. I have also noticed that nappy rash isn't a problem as is with other brands so this to me is a good enough reason to use pampers. I would recommend these as a first choice to anybody. They are light weight, soft, comfortable, they keep the moisture locked away from babies skin and can be relied on for long stretches of times!!

csargent · 15/05/2013 23:56

I tried size 3 on my 6month old baby.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?

Overall they seem quiet good. They arent bulky unlike other brands that even.before they are wet are quiet bulky. They feel comfortable and quite soft. To me even though they are for the same weight size they are bigger than a pampers new baby size three.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?

They compared very well. They are the ones that habe kept my little girl driest but I did have some leakage during the day and I think this is due to the fact that they were quite big on her so whem.she was moving and playing they were leaking and I ended up putting pampers mew baby size 2 back.on her during the day. As she does not move allot during the night I continued to use them at night to test how dry they keep her. I found that she was dry in the mornings amd she sleeps from 7pm to 7am so the 12hr dryness is true.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

The info you have provided is in sterling and im in roi and we use euro so im not sure what the prices are here for the packs. But I do buy the mega boxes whem they are on special for 17.49 which I find is a great deal for the amount of nappies in the box. The other brands of nappies do seem to be a lot cheaper I think there is about 5-7euro in the difference per pack depending on the brand like tesco and aldi.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

A number of my friends are pregnant or just had babies and I have recommended pampers to them not only the baby dry but also the new baby ones as I have tried numerous brands and found them very bulky and that they dont keep the wetness locked in.

Pamperazzi · 16/05/2013 10:02

My baby is 6 months old and i was trying size 3 nappies

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?

I liked these nappies, they were soft and absorbent and we had no leaks at all during the testing period.

my only reservation would be the smell - I constantly thought my daughter had a dirty nappy/urine infection when she didn't owing to the odd odour that comes from them when wet.

I would use them again.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?

They were superior to the supermarket own brands i have tried, but where i much prefered Pampers in the newborn sizes (as a better fit), i found there not to be much of a difference between these and Huggies in this size.

However, as I stated above, we had no leakage during the testing period, and the nappies kept my daughter dry for the 12 hour period overnight.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

At their full price they are quite expensive, though we would definately use less of them than of a cheaper brand, so they represent value for money, especially when bought as part of one of the regular supermarket special offers.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes I would recommend these nappies and I will also be continuing to use them.

Zoraggy · 16/05/2013 10:12

My little one is 5 1/2 months and we tested size 4 nappies.

Overall I would definitely continue to use these baby-dry nappies. Whilst I can't agree that they provided 12-hour dryness every time, they certainly keep my little one drier than other nappies we've used before and definitely help her sleep longer at night thanks to the extra dry sleep layer. The nappies are still slim and even when very wet don't bulk up too much so remain comfortable for my daughter.

Over the time we've been testing these nappies, have only had one episode of a leak with a particularly big dirty nappy, the rest of the time these nappies have been very effective at preventing leaks.

Whilst these nappies are slightly more expensive than other brands, they do not always need to be changed as regularly so in theory a pack will last longer. There are also special offers on these nappies fairly regularly so I will stock up then!

I would definitely recommend these nappies to other mums and dads. If you're having to get up during the night with your little ones just to change a wet nappy, give these ones a go-they've certainly helped me get more sleep!

esty1212 · 16/05/2013 11:33

I tested the size 3 on my 8 month old. Overall was impressed with the way it retained wetness, particularly during the night time.

In comaprison to other nappies used in the past i do feel this range prevent and absorb leakages.

Would definitely recommend to others as i believe the quality is well worth the price.

londonlivvy · 16/05/2013 11:59

Tested on my six month old in size 3.
Overall, a good nappy. Definitely less leakage than with Huggies though we have had a couple of overnight leakages /dampness nevertheless.

They seem v absorbent and I agree that I've not needed to change her that often.

Not a crazy fan of the smell or the feel. Very chemical / plastic to touch which makes me particularly aware of the environmental impact.

Price wise, in the bigger packs or on promo they represent good value for money.

So yes, overall I would recommend. I don't think a perfect nappy exists!

Btw I was given a free sample but have since bought nappies. So entirely my view and not that of mumsnet or others.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?

We find the pampers baby dry very good and they have been a preferred choice over the Huggies brand. We have used pampers amongst supermarket own brands and found them to be the best so we will continue to use them for our daughter.

Q2 How did they compare with other nappies you've used in terms of dryness and leakage protection?

We find that although her nappy is full overnight it has not leaked with wetness. On occasions in the past we have had soiled nappy leaks but equally I think this is also due to how she is sitting and being 'in between' sizes.

Q3 We've included some info on how much Pampers Baby-Dry nappies cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

They are fairly expensive compared to supermarket brands however I make sure I buy them when there is an offer on and I tend to buy in bulk.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes I would recommend pampers to others.

1)Probably not I?m afraid ? or if so only for night time. I tried size 4 for my 2 year old DD. If worn during the day when at soft play or anything active the nappy all bunched to one side. Have used Pampers Active fit in the past though and these seemed much better for her. Also the nappy themselves, once used gave off a weird, kind of fishy smell that the Active fit ones didn?t!

2)Very absorbent ? but then so are Pampers Active Fit ? I didn?t notice any marked difference between the two.

3)Good value as although more expensive then other brands I use less so it all evens out!

4)No probably not ? I DO recommend Pampers Active Fit to people though!

Also I?m another one that found the ?golden sleep? tagline weirdly reminiscent of the term ?golden showers? ? sorry!
