Q1-yes,they were easy to put on,soft and good quality.
Q2-very easy to use
Q3-no as with my first child I used huggies
Q4-yes I would recommend them and I did whilst I was on holiday with family, to my sister in law who then consequently went and bought some.
Q5- I'm not sure of good value as these were the first time I had used them and it was part of a free trial .

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?

I would give them a go in the future, when my little girl is walking.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?

No, my little girl is big for her age, just over 20lb at 20 weeks old and she's a little wriggler when I change her nappy, they were a bit awkward to pull up.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?

I've never tried any other branded pull up type nappies, so can't really compare.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up
Pants to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

I would probably recommend them to parents with toddlers but not for babies.

Q5 We've included some info on how much Pampers Easy Up Pants cost
below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

I think they are a little expensive, if I were to use them in the future, I would stock up when they are on offer.

My overall impression of pamper easy up pants were they were brilliant. .. a little god send of a nappy that made potty training to much eaiser. I now have a perfectly daytime potty trained little man and we will be going on to night time training soon. They will definitely be purchased again in this household.

I found pampers easy ups extremely easy to use and convenient. My son loved that he could be a big boy and put then on himself.

I have tried both pampers easy ups and Huggies versions before when I tried to potty train him in the new year m this didn't work out too well with him so he just wore them generally. I think they are really good nappies compared to other brands. ... on Huggies they have a little pull open bit at the side which is good if you need it but if potty training I don't overly recommend it and that is why I would say pampers is better in that respect.

I would definitely recommend, the convenience for any parent especially if potty training can't be besten and they were so easy for my son to use :)

The price I think is perfect. I dont think I would buy any other brands due to their pricing seems higher for less nappies. And I've always rated pampers.

I initially had these for my son who is 23 months as he is showing interest in toilet training, but my 3 year old ended up using them at bed time as well.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would use them again but i might try another brand as well just for comparison.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
very easy to use, the tab on the back to fold them up when used wasn't very sticky though so would just open again when putting them in the bin.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
I used to use princess pull ups with my oldest daughter but not for very long as she was potty trained very quickly.these ones do have more absorbancy, so good for big accidents.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up
Pants to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
yes i have recommended them to my sisters who's son is similar age to my son. as he is potty trained but sometimes cannot make it in time for the toilet so these are good to teach her that he has done well to try.

Q5 We've included some info on how much Pampers Easy Up Pants cost
below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? why?
They are good value if they are used for potty training but as my son isnt quite ready they could b expensive as it was going throught 5-6 a day so could get quite expensive.

Overall i do like them but think i have to wait a bit longer untill my son is ready for them. i do love the dora and diego characters my daughter loves them.

Q1: Very nice fit!! They don't get heavy when wet!!

Q2: So easy to use! The sides stay together even with much pulling and tugging!

Q3: I usually use cheap brands and the only thing I can fault them on, is that they get very heavy when wet and fall down lol!!

Q4: Yes I would definitely recommend them.

Q5: A bit expensive for everyday use, so I would only use them for potty training.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants?

They make nappy changes on a 1 year old who just wants to get away, so much easier. My daughter is too young to associate them with big girl pants, but the ease of use was great. However, they are not so absorbent as Baby Dry.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?

Yes, definitely. Made nappy change much less of a struggle.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your children?

Yes, used pull ups with my older two children.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up Pants to other parents?

Yes I would, for ease of changing. However, I would still recommend Baby Dry at night.

Q5 We've included some info on how much Pampers Easy Up Pants cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

They are expensive compared to regular nappies and I'm not sure that the cartoon characters are really needed. I would probably buy them if they are on special offer though.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants?
That they retained the high quality you come to expect from Pampers.
I don't however think I would use them again as they are quiet pricey for such a small amount and I found it much easier to potty train when not using these during the day which defeats the points of pull ups.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
I did find them easy to use and convenient when out and about as my son is now 29 months so they were better to pull down and place him on the toilet when out and about compared to using nappies.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children?
I have used a similar product and Pampers compared about the same so I would opt for the cheaper brand as there was no real noticeable difference.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up
Pants to other parents? I don't think I would recommend using Easy Up Pants as my personal experience when going through the recent potty training phase was to allow my son to wear underpants as the pampers easy up pants disguised when my son was going to the toilet and didn't help in getting him to the toilet beforehand as he just relied on the Easy Up Pants as he had nappies.

Q5 We've included some info on how much Pampers Easy Up Pants cost
below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? I think they are very expensive compared to normal nappies and not as many offers available to parents. It would be handy to have an on product voucher for the easy up pants to entice parents to purchase them as personally I would use the cheaper brand. As dryness is not really a main issue when potty training for me.

I used size 5s with DD (2)

1. I probably wouldn't use these again. My daughter seemed to have a permanent wedgie and she is apparently too heavy handed to pull them up and down without ripping the sides, which cannot then be resealed. The absorbency seemed fine, though poo accidents often escaped.

1. Convenient when she was wearing a skirt, not so much any other time when they were no easier than using a nappy.

1. We've been using Huggies Pull Ups which are a much better fit for DD (Strangel, since the exact opposite was true for nappies). She can also pull the Huggies up and down more easily and even if they do come undone at the sides they are resealable. I was disappointed at this since I hate the Disney pinkness of the Huggies product and was hoping Pampers would be a better alternative.

1. I wouldn't reccomend, for the above reasons.

1. Not great value, because of the above issues I think I'll either go back to nappies, or go the whole hog and put her in knickers.

Please state the age of your child and the size of Easy Up Pants you
were trying in your response.

My toddler is 28 months and we tried the size 6 pull-ups.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?

My daughter loves Dora and was excited that they pulled up like ?big girl? pants. She was much happier having these pulled on instead of lying down for a nappy change but found them tricky to pull up and down herself. I found they were thicker than I expected and sometimes looked wet and ready to change before they actually were. We will be potty training soon and I probably won?t use these because they are too much like normal nappies thickness-wise and tricky for her to pull down herself. I?d perhaps consider them for night time but haven?t tested them overnight yet so it would depend if they are as absorbent as the Babydry nappies!

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?

My daughter was happier stopping what she was doing so I could pull these on/off, rather than a normal nappy change. So they were easy to use in that sense. Not sure they were much easier to get on though.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?

No I haven?t so can?t compare.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up Pants to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

Would definitely recommend for wriggly un-cooperative babies! Not so much for potty training.

Q5 We've included some info on how much Pampers Easy Up Pants cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

Price is okay. Pampers aren?t the cheapest generally but I am happy to pay a bit more if they don?t leak. I tend to stock up when they?re on offer!

Hey guys,

well Lily and I have been using these for a couple of weeks now, and she is 21 months old.

Q1 - Overall I was very happy with them, as I think it helps them get ready for their potty training slowly (less of a shock to them) If and when we can have another little bubba I will definitely use them again at this stage
Q2 I thought initially they were going to be a pain if Lily had a poo accident, but because of the tear away sides, this made it still easy to change her in sticky situations
Q3 I haven't but my mother in law did put her in Huggies pulls ups this week, and the only problem I found was the sides came undone too easy compared to pampers. My other mother in law used sainsbury's own brand pull ups, Lily's skin didn't like these and came out in a rash (she has very sensitive skin)
Q4 Definitely, Lily is the only one of her friends that is starting to potty train and I told the other mums about them to assist them in future (I even gave another mum one of them to try that afternoon)
Q5 To be honest they are a little expensive, specially for how few you get in a packet compared to the nappies, and you can understand why some end up staying in nappies longer... I guess if you were on a limited budet unless there was a good deal you would look at other brands..

Lily is doing great at potty training and apart from a few poo accidents now and again she is dry through the day, so these are now being for night time

Thanks for the chance to try them!

Emma & Lily

Q1. They were reasonable but I still had to lay my son down to deal with wedgey situations so that cancelled out the whole ease of pulling up and down. They weren't as absorbent as the amazing baby dry nappies but that's not really a negative as that's useful when potty training as my son is more aware of his wet nappy.

Q2. Pretty easy.

Q3. I have to be honest and say the the huggies pull ups were a better fit and generally better for my son. Strange as pampers have always been head and shoulders above them in the new baby and baby dry type. It'd be better if active for came in bigger sizes rather than these easy ups in my opinion.

Q4. No. Whilst I've rec

Oops
Q4. Continued!

Rec

Recommended the other pampers types to loads of people. But not these ones.

Q5. They're quite pricy so not great value.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
I was more impressed than I expected to be - the fit and absorbancy seemed to be improved from when I last tried them 5 years ago.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and
easy to use or not?
For wees, they were easier. For poos, no different and probably slightly harder due to needing to tear them off.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
See Q1 above. Haven't used any other brands.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up Pants to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
I'm not sure! Slightly more likely to than before, but if I'm honest I'm still not entirely sure what the point of pull-ups is fullstop - last time I went from normal nappies straight to potty training with pants and I still don't really see the need for these as a regular thing. But if someone wanted to try pull ups, I'd be happy to recommend this brand as they worked fine.

Thank you for the trial :)

Tested on 11 months baby.

Q1: They are better than few years ago but only for daytime use, when the baby is on the move all the time.
Q2:Easy ups are easy to put on or take off if there is no poo inside. My LG get dirt when we try to take them off with no 2 inside. Even when we brake sides.
Q3: With my first one I used Pampers only. With my second ond we used other brad one time. When compareing them-Pampers are the best.
Q4: Not really. As now we all checking prices, Easy up are in small bags only in quite high prices. Will recommended if starting potty training.
Q5: Prices for Mega Pack is ok, but for other pack are quite to high. But the question is where I can buy Maga Pack of Easy Up? I never seen them ta any stores...

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
i think they are very good quality very easy to use love the little tag on the back to keep it wrapped up after use have never seen any of the competitors with that

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
yes much more convinient and easy to use then standard nappies due to my DS now knowing how to take off a nappy would never keep them on and ended up constantly taking them off and having accidents so pull ups where a good option for him and he hasnt worked out how to remove these yet and feel he actually prefers wearing these he seems happier in himself
Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
we have previously tried other brands with our DS but found they were not very absorbent as most are only intended for use for potty training and occational accidents
Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up
Pants to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not? i would definetly reccomend them to other parents and did to my cousin for her DD
Q5 We've included some info on how much Pampers Easy Up Pants cost
below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why? they are more on the expensive side of nappies and pull ups but for the quality i would be willing to pay it

These were fantastic for my 2 year old daughter for nighttime. She is fully toilet trained for nearly a year now but toilet trained at night. These hold all the wee in and doesn't leave her sore or wet,
I've tried alternative brands but these were by far superior
I would recommend them to anyone who asks however I would only be willing to buy them when they were n offer....as they are simply too expensive to buy full priced.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?

We already used the Pampers Active Fit range and found they suited my dc2 very well. The Easy up pants (size 6) were a great character design, slim fitting under clothes, very absorbent and very flexible on my active toddler.
I thought they were a good follow on product from the Active Fit and will be continuing to use this range.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?

Very easy to use, my toddler loves his 'big boy pants', when it came to change time they tore easily at the sides for quick easy removal. He also took some in for his nursery supply and the nursery nurses were happy with them.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?

Yes, we have tried another brand previously but they were slightly bulky and the elastic left red marks on my toddlers chunky legs. The Pampers fitted very well.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up Pants to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes I would recommend them for my reasons outlined above, they were good for my toddlers sensitive skin, non-bulky, he liked the character designs and they were flexible and absorbent.

Q5 We've included some info on how much Pampers Easy Up Pants cost below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?

I think they are good value for money (see reasons previously mentioned), there are cheaper brands available, however they haven't been as good quality. Supermarkets are always running offers on Pampers so you can usually get them a bit under RRP which is great.

This is a product which I will be using again, I like the Pampers brand, thank you for the opportunity to test them out. :)

Thank you for the tester nappies. They were great and will be buying them again. Safe, secure and comfy for my little one and no leaks. Well recommended. :)

I would definitely use pull ups again they r simple to use good value for money and my daughter thought the design was good I will be using them again

I used them on my 7 month old little boy

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
Easy to use, would definitely use again, even though the first time I used them there was a poo leak!!

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
Yes, my LB likes to turn on his front while I am changing which makes conventional nappies difficult to fit. I was worried about how to take them off if they were pooey but then I discovered how easy it was to tear the sides to get them off with no mess.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
Not used pull ups before

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up
Pants to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, if they have a wriggly little one!

Q5 We've included some info on how much Pampers Easy Up Pants cost
below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?
I usually buy my nappies when they are on special offer or at Macro so full price I think they are expensive

My feedback for my 2 year old daughter using size 5 pull-ups
Q1 Overall I'd use these pull ups again , they were very absorbent and my daughter loved the Diego and Dora picture on them, they were also a great fit.
Q2 They were very easy to use
Q3 Yes I have used tesco morrisons and huggies and these were just as good
Q4 Yes as they were neat under clothes
Q5 I found them slightly more expensive than competitors

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
No difference to wearing a nappy, so couldn't get DS to tell me when he needed the loo.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
Yes, convenient enough.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
No haven't used other brands of pull ups, apart from swim nappies.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up
Pants to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
Probably not, idea of potty training is to not need to wear nappies.

Q5 We've included some info on how much Pampers Easy Up Pants cost
below - do you think that they're good value for money or not? Why?
I find all pampers products quite expensive but they are good quality.

Currently my son is in normal nappies size 4+ and has just turned 1. He has been walking from 11 months & is very active! I liked the look of these pull ups thinking nappy changing would be easier & also stop him from pulling off the nappy which is a problem we have at the moment!
Q1 i would use them again but perhaps when hes a bit older ie potty training they felt a bit big for the same size as normal nappies. However they were brilliant for running around in the garden without fear of him taking it off & being in the nude!
Q2 they were a bit tricky if the nappy was dirty! If u have a struggle with nappy changes like me then a dirty pull up can be a bit messy!
Q3 this was the 1st time id used a pull up nappy.
Q4 yes definately recommend but perhaps if the child was potty training. Still great nappies though.
Q5 i believe you pay for what you get & although slighly more expensive than other brands, pampers have always been my prefered choice. They are good quality nappies. I will try the pull ups again when im potty training.

I tried pampers easy up pants for my daughter aged 20 month . i am really happy to tell you that they are very good and comfortableand easy to use ,no leakage problem at all throughout night and for long journeys .easy to pull up and pull down . i am very happy to tried pampers pull up pants .it makes my life more easier and stressless. i would definately buy it again . i would recommend other moms to try pampers pull up pants.
