They are very convenient and easy to use as there are no fiderly bits.

These are the first easy up pants that we have tried.

Used on my 8 month old girl using size 4

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

I loved these, they made life so easy! My LO is VERY wriggly at change times, she hates being kept still. With normal nappy changes she screams the house down and by the time it's over I'm completely frazzled and she's sobbing her heart out. Using these has been amazing! Not a single tantrum. It's over and done with in a matter of moments, I will definitely be usin these again. As soon as we've finished our existing supply of normal nappies we will be going straight on to easy up pants.

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

Incredibly convenient and easy to use, made nappy changes so quick.

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

Never used this type of nappy 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?

Will definitely be recommending to others, they are so quick and easy to use. Much quicker then a regular nappy. They seem very comfy and soft and are so absorbent, not a single leak even with the most runny of poop!

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?

For the convenience and ease of use they are definitely worth every penny. I would be happy to pay that price as they are such an outstanding product.

[TheFutureMrsB]

Forgot to add, we tried a size 5 which were a perfect fit for my 23 month old son. They fitted him well on the waist and the legs.

[dickinson13]

My daughter is 20 months old and we tried size 4.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again?
My daughter liked the picture on the nappy, she said it was a dolly. They look good and are easy to quickly put on and off. Yes I would use them again as my daughter is getting more and more active and I usually have to put her nappy on with her standing.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
Yes they are quick to put on and you can just pull them down and off or rip them off. I wasn't always sure it the nappy was on right though.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
Yes these seemed smaller and so more comfy for the child.

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, especially if like my daughter their child doesn't like to lie still for nappy changes! Easy to put on with the child standing.

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?
Yes, good price. Think I would go for a big pack to save money. I usuall use Aldi nappies but they do not do pull ups.

[RandallPinkFloyd]

DS is 2 next month, we had size 5.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, would definitely use them again if I saw them on offer somewhere. I like the fit of them.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
Yes, very easy, nice fit, no leaks. All good! Although I always change DS standing up so not much different to normal nappies tbh.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
No, first time.

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 absolutely recommend the product but I'd warn of the price

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?
This is the only downside for me and unfortunately it's a big one. Not sure how you justify them being so much more expensive than normal pampers active-fit nappies. I have tried almost all brands of nappies and always go back to pampers as I do think they are worth the extra cost but this seems to me to be an extra charge for the 'gimmick' rather than a true comparative price. I wouldn't buy them at full price.

[RandallPinkFloyd]

Bolding fail! I'll try again

DS is 2.5 but tiny and we tried size 4 ones.

Q1-Overall first impression was good. He was very eager to try them on as they look more like big boy pants. They were easy to get on and could do it while he was standing up rather than laying down which he hates however I found they leaked quite badly. We normally use Pampers Active Fit in 4+ which fit perfectly and we have never had any leaks. I daren't try the Easy Up Pants overnight because they were leaking everywhere within an hour of being on him during the day. In hindsight perhaps we should have gone for the Size 5 but as he is well within the weight range for Size 4 I thought they would fine.

Q2-Yes they were convenient as very easy to get on and off however because they leaked I was having to change clothes etc which I don't normally have to do.

Q3-Yes I have used Huggies Toilet Training Pull Ups on my older son before (he is 8 now though so was quite a while ago) and I have to say I actually preferred the Huggies ones as the sides were much more flexible and easy to pull up and down for toilet training. Obviously if the Easy Up Pants were just being used for a child who wasn't attempting to toilet train this probably wouldn't be an issue.

Q4-No I probably wouldn't recommend as they leaked so much.

Q5-I didn't think they were great value for money as I had to use twice as many as I would have done Pampers Active Fit because they leaked everywhere-didn't seem to hold much either.

[karks70]

We received our trial pack of Pampers Easy Up Pants in Size 5 in time to test them on the weekend.
Overall I was pretty impressed with them as they seem comfortable and I found them easy to get on and off. My 14 month old daughter doesn't always want to lie down for changes so being able to just pull on the pants was great. They did apprear a little small around the bottom area or maybe my daughter has a bigger bottom than most. We only had 1 poo so can't really comment on that aspect but there were no leaks in the morning even though they were very full. I have used Boots Pull ups and found these a lot easier to get on. I would definitely recommend them if money wasn't an issue but for me I find them a bit expensive. I will still use them after swimming as my little one refuses to lie on the change mat when we are there.

[AgitaStamere]

Nappies arrived couple days ago. Tried them, I am quite happy.
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, comfortable, with soft sides and yes - would and will use them again. Only they could stay dryer, even if I change my sons nappy every 1,5-2h I still feel that they are a little bit wet.

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

Yes, I found them easy to use, but I have dilemma - I would like that the sides would open a little bit more easy, but if that would make them not soft, than it is good as it is.

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

Yes, I have tried Huggies Step in. I liked that huggies are a little bit thinner, but didn't like sides - they opened nice and easy, but was with sharp corners.

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. They are in good price, comfortable and do their job.

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 could be a little bet cheaper, but in general price is quite good.

[firawla]

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

yes i would they are convenient and as my boy is 3 so older than average in nappies (sn) i rather he wears a pull up style

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

yes

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

yes i have, and they compare 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 for the conveniece of not having to lie down your child to change them

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?

yes

[mrsreedman]

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
I am using them on DD 16m they seem to be more comfortable on her than usual pampers, although they seem slightly smaller than regular nappies, I would use these again, but would buy next size up from usual nappies.
Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not? Yes, nappy changes are much easier and faster than with normal nappies, my daughter prefers standing which is totally achievable with these
Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
Ive used huggies pull ups before, i found these pants much much better and hold urine much better without leakages
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, the absorbacy is that of a regular nappy and the ease of changing especially for toddlers is great
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
very competivitely priced in the market, definately worth paying for!!!

Really like these pants, my daughter has been really happy in them and hasnt suffered any nappy rashes or leakages

[billybear]

1 overall impression great design good feel to them ,easy to put on.i would use again.2very absorbent,love design,3 great not used similar thing before , 4 I would recommend to all my friends, just so easy to use no leaking sift. 5 not the cheapest, but so good they are worth a little bit more, will look out for them on offer

[helsbels03]

Nappies arrived before the weekend and have been using them on ds age 2,7mths size 6. He was a little skeptical as the other brand we had been using had pictures of his favourite film character on. Dora didn't have the same appeal. However, they do not leak unlike the other brand, and seem to fit a lot better too. I will def recommend these and buy again. But 1 big improvement could be side opening like the other brand have, so they can be changed as a pull up or as a nappy (in cases of poo).

[jessica789]

I tested size 5 on my 3 year old for night time use (he's dry in the day).

Q1. I really rate them and will definitely use them again - they hold wee in well, they look comfy, and are soft to the touch.

Q2. Yes, they are very convenient and easy to use. It doesn't seem right using a fastening nappy once a child is potty trained. My son can easily pull these down and up again if he needs to go to the toilet in the night (although I do have to check he's adjusted right to avoid risk of leakage!). I like the tab on the back to fold them up securely - helps keeps the smell in when they are in the nappy bin.

Q3. I've been using different brands of pull up for my son since he started potty training nearly 2 years ago. Pampers are the best in my opinion. I've found Huggies to be a bit plasticy, and some of the supermarket own brands are a bit papery and less absorbent. The pictures on his pull ups are very important to my son, at first he was resistant to having a picture of a girl on the front (he's never seen Dora the Explorer) but once we explained that Diego was a boy he was happy. I think he preferred the old design though.

Q4. I would you recommend Pampers Easy Up Pants to other parents, for the reasons explained above.

Q5. They are in the highest price bracket which makes them considerably more expensive than supermarket brands which is why I tend to only buy them when they are on offer, even though I rate them higher.

[hytheliz]

My son is 19 months old and I tried the size 5 Easy ups.
Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
They were very easy to use and I would use them again because they prevented leaks and were comfortable.
Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
Yes, convenient and easy to use.
Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
I'd say they were very similar to other brands that I have tried.
Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up
Pants to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
Sure. They are reliable.
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're significantly more than every other nappy brand out there.

[mejon]

Q1 DD2 is 2.5m and eventhough she doesn't watch it, she recognised the Dora picture on the front and was very keen to wear them. I have used the Easy Up nappies with an older child and would probably use them again though not at the moment as I tended to use them for night-time when DD1 was dry during the day.

Q2 Yes, the nappies were easy and convenient to use. The first day we used them they lasted a good few hours but the 2nd afternoon I found they filled up very quickly and DD was keen to take them off. Having said that, I did use them overnight once (after DD had removed her usual nappy 4 times in less than 15 minutes!) and they lasted until morning with no leaks.

Q3 I've used both Easy Up pants and the Lidl equivalent before. The only real difference is in the price tbh.

Q4 I probably would recommend them. Pampers are my nappy of choice (but only when I can buy in bulk).

Q5 I don't think they're particularly good value for money - similar ones can be purchased cheaper in bigger packs but you pay for convenience and a brand name.

[blueeyes79]

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

They were nice, didn't like the piece of tape at the back of them though.

Would you use them again? yes when my baby is a little bigger as they leaked because he was too small.
If so, why? because they had a nice feel to them and look -

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

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare? no never used any verson of pull ups on these.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up
Pants to other parents? yes liked the dora design on them but my son is too small to understand.

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?

Yes good value for money .

[pearlfox]

They are pretty good actually. I was pleasantly surprised as I thought they would be a bit of a nightmare to use getting on and off etc. But my lottle boy seems to quite like them. He is 27 months now and starting to become quote independent. Think these are a great way to help him plus they are comfortable for him and absorbant. 10/10 so far

[Michfell]

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 very impressed with these nappies not only are they easy to get on and off easier than I thought, love the design to.

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

Yes very.

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

Yes I have but no where near as good as pampers.


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 definately I will recommend these to all my friends with 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?

Great value for money as they last longer so you don't have to change baby as often.

[BinarySolo]

I tried size 5 nappies, my son is 2 years 2 minths old.

Q1 I thought the nappies were good overall. Although they seemed much narrower than a standard nappy and the fit wasn't quite as good we had no leaks. They were very easy to get on and off and my son liked them. I probably wouldn't buy them tho, as although they were excellent, they are double the price of our normal nappies.

Q2 the easy ups were very easy to use. Much easier to get them on a wriggling 2 year old. He seemed to prefer them too.
Q3 Never used any others.

Q4 yes I would recommend easy ups. They are very convenient to use and we had no leaks using them.

Q5 The easy ups are twice the price of my normal nappy brand, which fit well and don't leak so I don't think they represent good value for money. If they were just a couple of pounds more then I'd have been more inclined to say they were good value and buy them for the convenience.


I couldn't work out how the tape thing on the back was supposed to hold the used nappy shut. Good idea to include something like that but it didn't quite work!

[Riella]

Q1, My daughter is 16 mths old and I don't think we are ready for pull ups yet. These nappies don't fit her the same way as regular nappies and it did result in some really messy accident (these pull ups tended to slip to the side for some reason on the bottom).

Q2, It was neither easier or more difficult to change. Just different

Q3, No, I have not used pull ups before

Q4, It depends on the circumstances. Right now I think it is more to older toddlers who are getting close to be introduced to toilet/potty use. It isn't as absorbent as regular nappies and they neither fit the same way.

Q5, I think these pull ups are rather expensive for an average household to be used as regular nappy alternative. However it has it's place when a toddler is actively being potty trained.

[Rumours]

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

Overall I liked these nappies and would use them again. They were easy to get on and off, which I have sometimes struggled with in the past.

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

They were very convenient and easy to use, ds could easily get them on and off.

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

These pampers easy up pants were a lot easier to use than other brands we have tried.

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.

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 a little pricey for my budget, but are good value I feel.

[happyhanz]

I got my pack last week and first impressions were good.
My son is 22 months old and is in the size 4 pull ups.
Q1: I really like the design of the pull ups and so far so good well done pampers!!
Q2: I did find the pull ups easy to use and finally a product my husband can use as he still cant master getting the nappy on correctly.
Q3:This is the first time I have used pull ups and I will carry on with them after my supply of nappies have ran put.
Q4:I will defiantly recommend to friends as I find they are easy to use and are roughly the same price as nappies anyway.
Q5:No nappy is value for money as I wouldn't like to know how much ive spent in 22 months but needs must as they say as long as they are included in supermarket offers I will be happy.

[deeps79]

Q1 My overall impression of these pants were great, and my son loves Dora and Diego (bonus)

Q2 I did find them easy to use as did my toddler

Q3 These pampers easy up pants were a lot easier to use than other brands we have tried.

Q4 Yes I would recommend. They are priced well too.

Q5 I think they are very good value for money. I have just ordered a large pack online, many thanks. It nice to try a product before buying :)

[SummerZ82]

Mine arrived a few days ago and have been using them with my 11 month old. She is too young to appreciate the great design but I was impressed with it :) I find them really easy to use much better than standard nappies however the only thing stopping me buying them all the time is the cost. Standard nappies are much cheaper.
