Please state the age of your child and the size of Baby-Dry Pants nappies you were trying in your response.
My child is 22 months old and we trialed size 4 nappies.
- Overall, how satisfied were you with Pampers Baby-Dry Pants?
Not enormously. I found them harder to use than my son's usual nappies (which are taped, rather than pull-ups) - harder to take off and put on and I missed being able to use the nappy to wipe and put underneath to protect the changing mat. These comments would all apply to pull-ups generally though. More specifically to these nappies - I didn't love how they looked (the wide band of translucent pleats). They had a strong smell to them (though the smell wasn't terribly unpleasant). We also suffered a poop blow-out with them! We've not had that with our usual nappies for a long time.
- How did Pampers Baby-Dry Pants perform through the day and at night time?
They seemed fine for wet nappies but per the comments above, they did leak poop on one occasion (through a leg hole - it went all the way down my son's leg). Maybe we were unlucky but we were less than half way through the pack when that happened and we've not had a poop leak with our usual nappies for a long time.
- How would you rate the dryness of the pants?
Fine - no complaints.
- Would you consider buying them in the future? If so, why? If not, why not?
Possibly when potty training but certainly not before (see comments above on how I found pull-ups harder to use). The reasons why I wouldn't would be those given in my comments above on my experience of them in this trial (including the blow-out in particular) and the cost (they seem a bit on the expensive side. If I found a nappy that performed as well for less money I would buy those instead.) The reason I say "possibly" rather than "no" is because I've not tried any other pull-ups and could, on doing so, find these the best available.
- Did the trial convince you that pants are not just for potty training or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
No, not at all. Per comments above, I found them harder to use in that they were harder to put on and take off. It may just be because they're different to what I'm used to but I missed being able to use the nappy to wipe my son's bottom and to use the clean front side of the dirty nappy underneath my son's bottom to protect the changing mat while I cleaned him. I can't actually think of a single thing that seemed better than a tabbed nappy.
- If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry Pants to other parents for dryness and fit?
Unfortunately I wouldn't because of the blow-out experience (though I wouldn't warn against them because of that, I would just say that we tried them, had that experience but may have been unlucky).
