1 Please state the age of your baby/child and the size of nappy you received.
Our daughter is 2 years 8 months old and we received size 5 nappies to test.
2 What was your overall impression of New Pampers Baby-Dry nappies?
I thought the pack was a compact size although I found the nappies quite difficult to get out of the pack individually. I thought the nappies themselves seemed thinner and less bulky than our usual brand but I wasn't keen on the way I could feel the beads through the nappy. I found the nappies were quite loose at the rear of the waistband - our daughter has a very small waist though and our usual brand has elastication in that area so thats probably why these gaped quite a bit.
The nappies seemed to be very absorbent and did hold a good amount of liquid. They coped well with number two's although we did seem to have a higher amount of leaks where they were concerned than we do with our usual brand.
I also found that our daughter developed a strange rash in the area where the left sticky tag sat on the front of her hip when we used these nappies. She has never had this rash before and when we stopped using them and went back to using our normal brand the rash started clearing up so I'm not sure if she was sensitive to something in the product.
Overall I was happy with the Pampers Baby-Dry but I don't think they performed better than our usual brand and I don't think we would switch over to them I'm afraid especially not if they are going to cause a rash on our daughter.
3 Would you recommend new Pampers Baby-Dry for a dry night’s sleep? If so, why?
Personally I don't think they performed any better at night time than our usual brand and so wouldn't make a special point of recommending them.
4 Would you say new Pampers Baby-Dry is the best for a dry night’s sleep?
No as I felt our current nappies actually leave our daughter feeling dryer than the Pampers Baby-Dry product when we use them overnight.
5 New Pampers Baby-Dry feature 3 Absorbing Channels, which distribute wetness more evenly, for less wet bulk in the morning. Did you notice this benefit with your little one?
No, if anything I found that the Pampers Baby-Dry actually seemed more bulky in the morning than our usual product. On a couple of mornings the nappy was absolutely huge, much more so than normal.
6 Would you buy New Pampers Baby-Dry again?
If our current product was unavailable then I would consider it along with other brands but generally no I wouldn't buy it on a regular basis.
7 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
This is a very difficult question to answer as in my experience (after having two children) what suits one child doesn't necessarily suit another. The nappies that we used with our son just leaked with our daughter and so we had to swap brands completely . If another parent wanted a recommendation I would probably recommend our current brand first and may recommend they try the Pampers Baby-Dry at some point. In the past when other parents have asked me about nappies I usually tell them to try a packet of each brand to see how they get on with them because different brands seem to work for different children.
The fact they gave our daughter the rash also plays a huge factor in my feedback.
Thank you for selecting us to try out these nappies - I'm sure they will work great for some parents but just didn't seem to be very suitable for our daughter.
