Marking place as pull ups arrived at end of last week so trying out for first time tomorrow

[lucyaj]

Overall impression was very good.
Both me and my son found them easy to use and easier to get on than other brands we've tried.
Would recommend to other parents and will be buying some more as feel they are value for money.

[ScardyNinja]

Q1 I will definitely buy these as they are great for nappy changes on a mobile baby
Q2 Very very convenient and easy and not bulky so good under clothes too.
Q3 not tried any others don't think I will either
Q4 I so and have already recommended these as they are absorbent and tin and as good as I come to expect from pampers
Q5 As with most things you get what you pay for, they are not the cheapest but they are good value for money

Pampers Easy Up Pants size 4 on 11 month old walker!

[Snowflakepie]

DD is 3.5, tested size 6. Used at night only as she is dry in the day.

Q1. Overall I was a bit disappointed in these. They don't seem big enough although they didn't leak. The elastic inside seemed to get caught in DDs bottom and bits and so we ended up with many nights where she called for us to help as the nappy was bothering her! Now she is 37lbs so I accept on the larger side, but there's no upper limit on these pull ups. She also couldn't pull them up or down by herself so they wouldn't help with night time training for us. Really didn't like the Dora design, we don't watch that show or have sky. Would much prefer a non-brand character like the new active fit pampers.

Q2. Not very convenient. DD couldn't use them by herself and I don't generally find normal nappies to be very troublesome. But then, I only deal with 1 a day now. Trying to position the elastic inside was more of a nuisance.

Q3. Never used any pull ups before.

Q4. Wouldn't recommend them to my friends with similar age children, no. Too fiddly. We potty trained by going completely without nappies when DD was ready so I don't really see a need for that stage either tbh.

Q5. I think they are pricey for something that doesn't seem to offer an advantage over other nappies. I use the pampers active fit nappies normally and they are much better on DD, and cost less.

[Samichuboo]

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

Dd like the pics of Dora on front. We use cloth nappies during day but at night us disposables for a good nights sleep and these performed as well as normal pampers. Will definately use the again.

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

We're very easy to slide on and fit was lovely. Have found tab ones a little long but these were just right. Dd has also learnt how take tabs off so the pull on ones have been great especially on these hot nights as don't have to worry about jammies to keep them on!

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?have not used pull ups before but very impressed.

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 definately recommend as good fit and keep bottom dry especially overnight.

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?

As we combine nappies the price is ok for us but would be a little pricy if using all the time.

Thanks for choosing us!

[Samichuboo]

Forgot to add 13month dd, size 4

[Hacko1]

Got them last week I've used them on my little one he just starred moving around a lot more they didn't rub, good absorbance definitely a product I'd purchase easy to get on and off I only ever use pampers so value for money wise I'd pay whatever was charged they are more expensive than supermarket brand but better quality and softer my baby gas no nappy rash or irritation which cheaper brands tend to cause. I would strongly recommend these to all mums infact ill have a years supply to trial if you like ;-)))

[J3nnifer]

Q1 My son has just turned 3 and we were using the size 6.

Thought they were great ? easy to put on and no leaks at all. Would definitely use them again. Nice to see him without a bulky nappy under his clothes.

Q2 I found them very easy to use and he found them comfortable. Found it easy to change him standing up too, great when you?ve got a wriggly child and need to change him quickly. Also helped getting him used to pulling pants up and down at the potty/toilet.

Q3 First time using pull-ups.

Q4 I?d definitely recommend them to other parents, particularly for the convenience when you?re out and about.

Q5 I?ve always used Pampers, so would probably buy them anyway unless they were considerably more expensive than Huggies or own-brand equivalents. Like the others on here I would buy them when they?re on offer.

Thanks for letting us take part in the product test!

[Aoifeos]

My Son is 8 mths and I tried size 4 easy up pants...
Q1 No I wouldn't use them again right now maybe when my baby is older and beginning to toilet train ?? I Found them to be quite inconvenient for my small baby
Q2 I found them difficult to use for my small baby it was hard to put cream on the baby and then get the pants up without smudging the cream up his back also as he is not yet standing it was difficult to pull them up
Q3 I haven't used a pull up before.
Q4 I would not recommend them for parents of young babies, if a friend had a toddler i would probably tell them to give them a go...
Q5 I felt that they were a bit expensive as they weren't as absorbant as normal pampers nappies so you had to change baby a bit more often

[Dimple27]

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants?
I found these nappies very easy to use on a wriggly baby who won't keep still for nappy change time.
Very good quality and kept my little one dry through the night.

Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes I would, ease of use and good dryness through the night.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
Yes I did. As stated when trying to change my little one who just wants to roll about! Very easy to just pop on him.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
Easier to use than a normal nappy.

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, especially if they have a wriggly little one! Keeps them dry through the 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 a little expensive, but with vouchers and deals I guess it would lower the price.

I had size 4

[Lcezo]

My son is 2 years & 5 months and we had size 6.

Q1 Really good overall impression. Slim fitting, great design (sons very impressed with Diego!) would definitely use again. As the transition into potty training looms ever closer they are a lot less messing about than a nappy.
Q2 Very convenient to use. Son can step in and out nicely with no faffing about.
Q3 Only ever used Pampers pull ups.
Q4 I would most definitely recommend Pampers pull ups as a fuss free, slightly more grown up take on nappies for your older toddler.
Q5 I do think they are good value. You can usually find them on offer somewhere too which makes it he cost even better. Had no leakages either which is great.

[Pinkpiglet]

We tested size 4 nappies for my 15mo dd.

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 impressed with the nappies. They do seen slightly smaller than a size 4 active fit but that is probably as there is no option to vary how tight they are on the waist. They seem very absorbent. Possibly slightly bulkier than our usual nappies.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
They are very easy to use with a simple diagram of how to wrap it back up for disposal. They are much easier to get on a wriggly toddler than the traditional nappy style.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
No we haven't tried any other brands of this style.

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, especially if they were struggling to get a nappy on securely without the baby escaping

Q5 We've included some info on how much Pampers Easy Up Pants cost.
They do seem quite expensive but I never buy nappies at the full rrp. I would certainly buy they if they were on offer.

[crazyinlurve]

I was trying size 4 on my 2 year old :)

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

Really impressed, easy to use and pull up and very absorbant.

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

Very convenient and save alot of time then using the normal nappies.

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 used morrisons and asda's own pullups but pampers wins hands down with the absorbancy.

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 alot of friends who are mums and dads - most people already appreciate the pampers brand.

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 expensive compared to other stores brands but are worth the price due to their longlasting absorbancy ease of use.

[NotjustaMummy]

you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
Q1. 22months, wouldn't use again, bit fiddly.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
No, no better than regular nappies.

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

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up
Pants to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
No, they were no easier or quicker than regular nappies, and less absorbent. I think they also confused my potty training daughter as she didn't know if it was pants or a nappy so would do her business, then sit on her potty.

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?
Not for us, as they are more than regular nappies and not as good. Also no good at night, they leak!

[msynica]

i ve got my nappies over week ago and we already used them all. my little girl realy love them

[Tweet2tweet]

Dd is 2.3 and we had size 6

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 buy if on offer but not full price. No better than supermarket brand which is cheaper

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
Okay but a bit of a balancing act ripping sides when full of poo

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
Yes, compared well but didn't stand out as better.

Q4 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Easy Up Pants to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
Price would limit recommendations, having recognisable characters on nappy good though.

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?
No, much cheaper like for like alternatives. Own brands available that offer the same but a lot cheaper. The only difference is the recognisable characters.

[DonnaRoll]

My daughter is 3 years and we tried size 5

Q1. Good quality and easy to put on. Would probably not purchase again as it confused my daughter, it is like a nappy but not a nappy and she did refer to them as 'nappies' not pants. For potty training, they are not helpful. I'm going to stick with putting her pants because she is able to tell instantly if she has had an accident.

Q2. I put them on my daughter quite easily, she found them harder to get off by herself.

Q3. I have tried Huggies Pull-ups in the past with my other children. I gave up with them and just put them in pants the whole time for potty training. Again, they got confused when they had pull-ups on. Useful for night time though.

Q4. I would recommend to other people for toddlers who are not ready for potty training as they are easy for them to step in and pull up. Cost my be prohibitive though.

Q5. Good value for money if you are only going to be using a few a day. Other wise they are quite expensive. Good for night time use.

[km479]

1. Easy to put on and take off - probably because they are a tad too big for my daughter. The absorbency is a lot less than normal pampers
   

2 much easier to put nappy on my wriggler which is only a good thing

1. Nope
   
2. I think so but would warn that they aren't very absorbent and more expensive. Good for transitional phase only
   
3. Expensive - would only buy if on offer and if weaning from normal nappies to pants was not going well!

[amymouse]

Q1
Really pleased. I did thinbk at first I might have ordered the wrong size as they seem smaller than the Active Fit we have been using but once on they were positively roomy! I think they seem more absorbant than ActiveFit and DD definitely is more willing to put them on than a nappy.

Q2
Really convenient, especially for out and about. Very easy to use and reduce arguments at nappy change time!

Q3
Not used pull-ups until now but have always used Pampers and they are a continuation of a reliable brand.

Q4
Definitely. It is a step in the right direction for independance for children and one less worry for me knowing DD will stay comfortable in them.

Q5
The only draw back is the price. I would happily buy them (probably in bulk!) when on offer, but would have to weigh up with other nappies otherwise for budgeting. I've tried other brands of nappies before and all other brands seem to give DD a rash or be less absorbant sop we use far more, so Pampers is the only real choice I'd make. I would really like to continue using pull-ups after trialling these. It's sooner than I expected to start using them so will have to sit with budget and scour shops!

[Indigo8]

I've been trying the Size 4 Easy Ups with my 2.5 year old DD.


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

We've tried the Tesco pull-ups, but the Pampers ones aren't so bulky and are more absorbent. DD is fairly new to pull-ups and is quite independent, so she loves the fact she can put them on herself. She knew the characters as we have a Dora duvet cover, but maybe something more generic might be better. Also quite "girly" perhaps? We really liked these and would definitely use them again. However, the price would put us off and we would only get them if they were part of a bulk offer.

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

Definitely convenient and easy to use - we liked them. They will also be useful when DD is potty -training but she's not ready to go out for a whole day in normal pants. these are a good compromise and will help in the in-between stage. However, the tab to wrap the nappy was a bit awkward to use or maybe I'm just thick.

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

As said above we have used Tesco's own and the Pampers ones seemed not so bulky and more absorbent. However, Tescos own are much cheaper so we would probably go for the cheaper option. We have also tried Huggies which always seem too small.

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, we would recommend them, although still think they're a bit expensive, especially if you have a larger family or more than one child in nappies (like me!)

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?

See above.

[Erinlyn]

My little girl loves the Dora and Diego design on the nappy. Normally she hates having a nappy change but she has been really excited when I ask if she wants a new Dora nappy. In comparing with a pull up pant from other brands, these are brilliant. They don't rip on the sides and have a good fit around the bum and legs. She has been comfortable wearing these. I have already recommended them to other families and have bought a pack to take on holiday for ease!
Thank you for choosing us to trial them!

[mandydave3]

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
I liked the idea of them however there too like nappies for me, i found the little one just weed in the as if they were a nappy. They leaked terribly too.
Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
They were easy to put on, he just had to step into them
Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
I have never 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?
No, there pointless just like nappies, i woild rather just put pants on him and do the washing. my other 3 toilet trained by understanding there underwear was wet
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 if you were only using onea day then yes the price is ok, but if like me your childr uses them like a nappy then your going to need more than pne bag a week, which would be costly.

[Spamdoodle]

My daughter is just 2 so we had 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?
The overall impression is good, they are easy to use, my daughter moves around in them very well and likes the fact she can pull them up herself when she has finished using the potty. I will be using them again.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
They are very convenient. They fit in my handbag a lot better than normal nappies do. The only problem I found with them was the sticky tab on the back, some times it would get stick to the back of my daughters skirt or shorts and it would be stuck when she was trying to pull her skirt / shorts down at toilet times and that would lose it stickiness so the pull up wouldn't seal closed or she would get in a bit of a state trying to pull shorts down when a pull up was stuck to her.

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
I tried Huggies before but found they leaked after only a small about of wee. The pampers are a lot better and during this hot weather my girl has been drinking loads so we have had extra potty trips and pull up changes.

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 recommend to others as my daughter has had better freedom of movement while wearing pull ups, also she has greater independence with being able to pull the pull up up and down.

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 bit on the expensive side, sometimes I have to be on a tight budget with the family as I have my daughter, 2 dogs, 30 wks pregnant, a house to run. So I think towards the end of a month I would find myself having to use cheaper nappies.

Thanks for the chance to try and express my opinion on the pull ups. :-)

[TotallyEggFlipped]

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

DD is almost 2 1/2. (But she's small for her age, typically wears age 18-24 month clothes).

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 them. DD was able to put hem on herself easily and enjoyed her 'big girl nappies'. I'd se them again for potty training, but I think they're too expensive for general use.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
Yes. Very 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?
Never used pull-up style nappies 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. 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?
No. They're much more expensive than our regular nappies. I might use them short-term for potty training, but they're poor value for everyday use if you get through as many nappies as we do.

[umiaisha]

Mine arrived last week:

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
Great idea, would definitely buy again as they have really helped with potty training progress.
Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
Yes, far easier to change a wriggly 2 year old with these compared to standard nappies
Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
Yes - Boots own brand. Found the Pampers a far better fit and more absorbent.
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
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 bit expensive compared to standard nappies
