I got the size for for my 3 year old Son, he loved the images on the front and is used to wearing the pull ups now. My Son only wears them at bedtime as we are still working on training at night. He finds them easy to pull up or down to use the potty before going to bed. In the mornings they were very wet and a couple of patches on the bed sheet. They are very expensive compared the own brand pull ups which work just as well but they don't have characters on them.

I would buy these again if they were on offer.

hello.
q1 i definitly will use the papers easy up pants again. my daughter like them and i dont need to fight with her to put them up
q2. that nappies are very easy to use
q3. i have never use that kind of nappies before but we are using papmers brand anyway
q4. i would reccomend that nappies to any parents because they are good quality for not bad price
q5. they well worth to pay for them little bit more than others because in this same you use 10 pampers nappies and probably something like 20 other brand nappies

Q1 Excellent quality, but too pricey. I really like the reliability of Pampers and would choose them first over all other brands if price was not an issue, but money is too tight and I generally go with supermarket own brands.
Q2 Very easy to use, except when removing when dirty - the sticky tab is of no real benefit to contain contents.
Q3 Yes, and they compare very favourably.
Q4 I definitely would if they were interested in the best quality, but not if they are more interested in the best value.
Q5 No, I find them too pricey. Although they are better than any other brand I have used they are not so much better to merit the added expense.

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

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 try them again, I like the fit of pampers and I think they are a brand which tends to keep my little one dry better.

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

Yes, very convenient, easy to take off and on. My daughter even tries to help a bit which is a good step.

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.

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. Especially to people who have children who are just beginning 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?

They are good value in the bigger packs (mega) etc. The smaller ones, not so.

Tested size four on my 11 month old ds
Q.1 I loved them, yes I would use them again as they made nappy changes a lot easier.
Q.2 yes, my ds refuses to lie down for nappy changes but he happily stepped into these.
Q.3 yes, they were less bulky and the dora/ diego design was much nicer.
Q.4 yes, because they are a good fit with no leaks, stress free to use and a child friendly motif.
Q.5 no, they are quite expensive and packs are small. Other brands are not quite as good but still keep my baby dry and comfortable for less cost.

Boy age 24 months, 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?
My son really liked the pictures on the front, though he had no idea who they were. I would use them again as they are much easier to get on after using the toilet when my son is standing up.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
They were 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?
I haven't used pull ups before on my own child but have used them on my nephew when he stayed over but he was unable to stand at the time and he's very fat so they were very difficult to use on him. The stretch in these made them easy to get on and off.

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 if they were cheaper but i couldn't recommend them at the current 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?
They are far too expensive. I can get 20 pampers nappies in size 5 from tescos for £3.50, which is nearly half the price! other brands of pull ups are not as expensive either. I couldn't justify spending this much money on them, sorry.

Very good easy to use product.

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

I really liked them because it is a lot easier to get them on my son when he starts to wriggle. I would use them again. My son also loved the picture on the front on them.

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

They were very convenient and easier to use in comparison to 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?

I've never used this type of nappy before but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked them.

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 definitely recommend pampers easy ups to other parents because they are just so easy to use.

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 do think they are a bit too expensive compared to the rest of the similar products in the market place at the moment.

My son is 19 months old and I used size 5 pampers easy ups on him.

Fantastic!!! wonderful timing! My little one (19 months) is free of nappy now, thanks to the bag that you send us. I will fully recommend your product, but I think it is a little bit expensive at the supermarket.
Thanks a lot.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
Fantastic, will use it for sure on my next potty trainning :)

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, 3 years ago and it was 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?
For sure, 100%

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 it is something I will invest just for potty training, but they are expensive for a daily use.

My lil one absolutely loved it. Thank you Pampers. I'm enjoying uninterrupted sleep these days.

Some additional feedback - it was only yesterday that I discovered the way to wrap these using the piece of scotch tape on the back of the nappy - I only noticed it for the first time when it had stuck to DS2's shorts and ripped the nappy, resulting in crystals everywhere. I thought it was a manufacturing fault and a piece of tape had just got stuck, until the first one I used today had tape on, so I had a proper look at the packaging.

I've now had 2 nappies get stuck to shorts because of the tape, resulting in crystal explosion.

Thank you very much Pampers for giving me opportunity to try Pampers Easy Up's. That was new experience, little bit hard from the beggining to change with poo, as they are like normal pants. and a sticky strip should be a little bit longer. and cotton sides more durable.also even when size is alright, but baby sleeps on back wee is going all over the place, as is not stretchy and sticky stripe like with normal nappies.
However we really enjoed them and deffinetelly will buy them again.

Q1 Really liked the Easy Ups - my 16 month old is a nightmare wriggler when I'm trying to change him and these are a good solution. Colourful, no leakage. Will be using them again.
Q2 The nappies are really easy to use as it means I don't have to have my little one laid on the floor all the time - good when out and about!
Q3 I have used other pull up nappies with my older child and pampers rate as the best alongside Lidl pull ups. I have found some of the others have a tendency to leak and tear down the sides very easily.
Q4 I have recommended Pampers Pull ups to friends. Especially those with very fidgety kids like my own!
Q5 Quite happy to pay the money for them as I don't really tend to notice price of nappies. I am aware that they are more expensive than normal nappies and quite a lot more than the pull ups bought from Lidl so would be interested to know why they are more expensive

My LO is 5 months and we used 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?

Great nappies, I would use them again but when my LO is potty training.

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

I found them very 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 used huggies with my other children and I found they would rip too easily on the sides.

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 because they fit really well around the legs and waist and absorb anything well.

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?

You get what you pay for if I was rolling in it I would buy them but when they are 20p+ a nappy I think I'll wait for when they are on offer.

We used size 5 around my sons 2nd birthday.

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 them. They were soft and comfortable, easy to pull up. Didn't like the Dora design, didn't know she was still on tv! I don't like characters of clothes though, I'd prefer plainer designs. Didn't use them overnight as B often leaks out of a size 5+ and these pants just didn't look substantial enough for 12 hours at night.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
Yes, easy to use unless I was out and had to untie and remove his shoes to put the new one on. I tended to replace with a nappy in that case. Good in this weather without a vest though as he has no tabs to undo!

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
I use sainsburys own pull ups as B is starting up tell me when he needs a poo but still had no idea of wee yet!
I prefer the sainsburys nappies as they have a plain pattern (jeans style pocket on the back) and they seem to hold more and keep their shape better- the pampers go lopsided when full. I also prefer the Velcro sides on the sainsburys nappy pants, it means its possible to fold it like a nappy when dirty.

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, I prefer the sainsburys ones and the pampers are so expensive. Also, I can't see the point of pull up nappies for potty training, nappies soak up wee so why bother using the potty? In pants they can feel themselves getting 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?
No, I think they are very expensive, nearly double the price of sainsburys.

my son is 2 and half and we tested size 5
q1 I was extremely satisfied with the overall job of pampers nappies, id use them again if they were on special offer price.
q2 very easy to use when myself is putting them on my son, when he done it himself he often ripped them and so they were not useable
q3 these were the first pant style nappies iv used with my son so have no comparison
q4 id recommend them to other parents for the fact that they do as they say and if the toddler has an accident then it can be removed with no fuss made
q5 they are good value for money in that they do the job they advertise BUT knowing a lot of the mums are not on a luxcery budget I think the price is a bit expensive as iv seen other similar products for around 1/2 the price

Easy up pants size 5, for my son who is just turning 3!

Q1 My son loved that these had Dora the explorer on them - it made him eager to try them on!
Q2 as easy to use as underpants, but with added protection for accidents.
Q3 We tried buggies before but my son didn't get on with them very well, and refused to potty train as they kept leaking if he had an accident!
Q4 If it came up in conversation, I would tell all, y friends about how easy they are to use.
Q5 I think they are reasonably priced, it meant a lot less use of the washing machine, so I think it balances out!

We both loved these pull ups, and my son actually enjoyed using them and is now getting quite good at going to the toilet on his own, because he has big boy pull ups on when he does miss time it he doesn't get upset that he has wet himself.

Tried these with dd3 who is 3 and we tried the 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?

I really like these, we have tried a couple of other brands and these are the best by far, especially because of the sticky tab on the back. It's so annoying when you have to remove it by ripping the sides when soiled then have no way of sealing it shut afterwards before you bin it but that isn't a problem with these.

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

I found them easy and convenient.

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 tried a few other brands and the Pampers are the best.

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 them, because of the sticky tab at the back and their reliability.

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 expensive and should be cheaper, I get through a lot of them so it's pretty costly.

Q1- I trialed size 4 on my 2 years old girl. These were lovely good fit I would definitely use them again.

Q2-I found these very easy to use and made nappy changes very easy

Q3-Dont, we traid of pull ups before, its good, but i think its a lit bit bigger, looks she has pee on the nappies

Q4-yes i would and have already discussed and recommeneded them.

Q5-There are cheaper alternatives but they might not be as good pampers and huggies

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

A)Great first impression DD loved the Dora print on them and couldnt wait to put them on, i thought that they looked of very good quality and would use again.

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

A) Yes they were very easy to use and convenient also.

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

A)Yes i have used a cheaper supermarket brand and the pampers are clearly a much better pull up, better fit and DD appeared more comfortable and happier to wear them.

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

A) I would recommend them and actually have to a few friends who are beginning to potty train and want to use pull ups 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?

A) I think they are quite expensive and there are definitely cheaper pull ups out there, however in terms of quality they are worth the money in comparison to cheaper brands i have used.

DS is nearly 23 months and we're trying out a size 6 for night time.

Q1 What was your overall impression of Pampers Easy Up Pants? Would
you use them again? If so, why? If not, why not?
Overall we've got on with them very well, we would definitely use them again.

Q2 Did you find Pampers Easy Up Pants convenient and easy to use or not?
They were very convenient and easy to put on and take off (by ripping the sides)

We had a bit of a catastrophe the first night of using them, because on a sopping wet nappy DS added a sloppy poo, which unsurprisingly went on his legs. To be honest I can't think of a single nappy that could have dealt with it in terms of not leaking. However it did lead me to figure out that I had no idea how to use the sticky tab at the back to fully enclose a pooey nappy. I ended up ripping off the sticky tab completely and trying some kind of selotape attack on the ripped sides, but this wouldn't have been an issue for a normal nappy with the velcro tabs. Is there a special technique?

Q3 Have you ever used similarly designed nappies before with any of your
children? If so, how did Pampers Easy Up Pants compare?
We haven't used pull ups before. At night we are using them in replacement of pampers baby dry size 5+, they are similar quality, per haps a bit more material round the waist in the pull ups (a good thing).

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 it came up then I would say we'd had a good experience with 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?
I think they are good value for money, but to be honest, at the moment we are going for actual cheapest of acceptable quality, so we probably wont' replace the normal nappies with pull ups for now.
