1 Please state the age of your baby/child and the size of nappy you received.

20 months, size 4

2 What was your overall impression of New Pampers Baby-Dry nappies?

They were pretty good with no leaks. The sizing felt a bit snug compared to our usual (own brand Tesco). There wasn't much overlap at the top when putting it on and it didn't look very secure. That said, it didn't fall off so it must have been fine.

3 Would you recommend new Pampers Baby-Dry for a dry night’s sleep? If so, why?

Yes. DD seemed to sleep as well as normal with them.

4 Would you say new Pampers Baby-Dry is the best for a dry night’s sleep?

No. They were fine, but no better/different than my normal cheaper own brand nappies.

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?

I hadn't noticed them and hadn't realised noticed any difference in how bulky they were. If anything, because the sizing seemed a bit small, it did seem like it was hanging off a bit by morning.

6 Would you buy New Pampers Baby-Dry again?

If they were on special offer or if I couldn't get my usual Tesco nappies, then I might, but I wouldn't choose to normally given the cost, (18p each compared to 9p).

7 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

I might do. They were fine but definitely more expensive than our normal own brand and no better.

1 Please state the age of your baby/child and the size of nappy you received.
11months size 4

2 What was your overall impression of New Pampers Baby-Dry nappies?
They were ok but not much difference to my regular brand. I liked that they were thin and still quite absorbent. Ans as with all pampers nappies they were soft. I also noticed that the nappies were a bit snug for the recommended weight even at the lower end of the weight range as my son is. Would recommend reviewing this.

3 Would you recommend new Pampers Baby-Dry for a dry night’s sleep? If so, why? I probably wouldn't as it didn't live up to the claims. My son still needed a change in the night as he wees a lot. No different to my regular. Left him damp rather than dry.

4 Would you say new Pampers Baby-Dry is the best for a dry night’s sleep?
No. I saw no difference when compared to my regular brand.

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?
Yes I dis but it was mainly towards the front of the nappy and not towards the back. It wasn't as bulky sometimes, depends on how much my son had to drink in the night.

6 Would you buy New Pampers Baby-Dry again?
Only on special deals as pampers are considerably more expensive than my usual brand. Why spend so much when you can get the just as good a quality cheaper.

7 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not? I would recommend for daytime use and if on sale as most mothers I know are happy using alternatives that are cheaper.

1 Please state the age of your baby/child and the size of nappy you received.
4 months, size 3.
2 What was your overall impression of New Pampers Baby-Dry nappies?
They were fine for when she slept on her back, but she is a front sleeper by preference, and they leaked horribly up her front after a night of sleep.
3 Would you recommend new Pampers Baby-Dry for a dry night’s sleep? If so, why?
Unfortunately not, and I still haven't found a brand that help. I would recommend them for a back sleeping baby, as during daytime they did keep her dry and were less 'bulky' than other nappies feel.
4 Would you say new Pampers Baby-Dry is the best for a dry night’s sleep?
No.
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. In fact, the opposite. I found that in the morning the front was distinctly more bulky than the back, and, as I said before, she needed everything changing as she was wet through, even her sleeping bag.
6 Would you buy New Pampers Baby-Dry again?
I might try a larger size, but probably not.
7 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
They are very slim and they feel great when empty, so for a back sleeper, yes.

2 What was your overall impression of New Pampers Baby-Dry nappies?
Good
3 Would you recommend new Pampers Baby-Dry for a dry night’s sleep? If so, why?
Yes, they handled overnights well.

Certainly as good as others.
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?
Not particularly.
6 Would you buy New Pampers Baby-Dry again?
Yes
7 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, they work well for children who still need nappies overnight.

I already use Baby-Dry and these were noticeably thinner than the ones I already had in.

3 Would you recommend new Pampers Baby-Dry for a dry night’s sleep? If so, why?

15 months, size 5

2 What was your overall impression of New Pampers Baby-Dry nappies?

Very thin but just as absorbent as other nappies. Was worried that padding didn't come up very high at back but this didn't seem to be a problem. No nappy rash or reactions. No leaks overnight. Good nappies.

3 Would you recommend new Pampers Baby-Dry for a dry night’s sleep? If so, why?

Yes, we had no leaks overnight. My son is a tummy sleeper too.

4 Would you say new Pampers Baby-Dry is the best for a dry night’s sleep?

They were good but I've found normal baby dry and even the baby dry pull ups to also be good at night.

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?

The nappy was still quite heavy and bulky at the front in the morning.

If the price was reasonable ie not too much more than supermarket brands.

Slim and cute designs but came up very small.

No they leaked.

No

I would if they was on a very good offer and would buy a couple of sizes up.

I would recommend but suggest getting a bigger size.

Oops, we tried size 5, which seemed smaller than other brands in the same size.

1 Please state the age of your baby/child and the size of nappy you received. 15 months, size 4

2 What was your overall impression of New Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? I usually use Pampers and tbh I didn't really see any difference in these ones. They're absorbent and soft, pictures are cute and the tabs work well. I'm not sure I could rate them as "improved" though.

3 Would you recommend new Pampers Baby-Dry for a dry night’s sleep? If so, why? Our baby stayed dry all night so yes. No problems with rashes.

4 Would you say new Pampers Baby-Dry is the best for a dry night’s sleep? Only as far as our baby is concerned. He's not a very heavy wetter at night though.

6 Would you buy New Pampers Baby-Dry again? Yes, as we usually buy pampers anyway

7 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not? I'd recommend other parents to try them if they hadn't before, I know a few parents who are reluctant to pay the higher price but complain of leakage in other brands

Forgot to add picture comparison. Old baby dry at top and new at bottom.

1 Please state the age of your baby/child and the size of nappy you received?
9 weeks old and size 3

2 What was your overall impression of New Pampers Baby-Dry nappies?
I think they are good fitting and nice patterns on them. They are good nappies but overall not much different to other nappies.

3 Would you recommend new Pampers Baby-Dry for a dry night’s sleep? If so, why?
No. I actually found that it was the same or maybe even worse than Aldi's Mamia nappies for overnight dryness.

4 Would you say new Pampers Baby-Dry is the best for a dry night’s sleep?
Well my little girl isn't sleeping through yet but I found that she seemed to be fuller quicker in pampers.

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. The nappies seemed worse than I remembered

6 Would you buy New Pampers Baby-Dry again?
Probably not, they are double the price and not as effective as the Mamia ones I usually buy.

7 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
No. I still think Pampers are over priced when I can get better nappies at a cheaper price.

1 Please state the age of your baby/child and the size of nappy you received

Skye is 10 months old wearing size 3

2 What was your overall impression of New Pampers Baby-Dry nappies?

I love them as she's now crawling they allow her more movement then the newborn style pampers

3 Would you recommend new Pampers Baby-Dry for a dry night’s sleep? If so, why?

I would recommend them as Skye goes to bed at 7 and normally wakes up any time between 6 and 6:30am. The nappy never leaks no matter how wet she is and it doesn't go lumpy either. All the wet seems to distribute evenly across the whole nappy and her skin doesn't feel that damp considering how long she has the nappy on.

4 Would you say new Pampers Baby-Dry is the best for a dry night’s sleep?

I have tried a number of different brands and have found pampers the best by far.

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?

Yes as I mentioned above there are no lumpy bits and it seems to keep the moisture away from her skin.

6 Would you buy New Pampers Baby-Dry again?

Yes I already have!!

7 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes I definitely would. Again as mentioned above I have tried a lot of different brands and with a couple Skye started to get nappy rash which is really not like her. With pampers baby dry she has only had nappy rash twice and both times were due to her teeth coming through rather than the nappies themselves. I love these and will never use any other nappy for as long as she's wearing them!!!

1 Please state the age of your baby/child and the size of nappy you received. - 19mths size 5

2 What was your overall impression of New Pampers Baby-Dry nappies?

• good at keeping baby dry inc 13hrs overnight snug fitting for sizing.

3 Would you recommend new Pampers Baby-Dry for a dry night’s sleep? If so, why? - yes we had no leaks

4 Would you say new Pampers Baby-Dry is the best for a dry night’s sleep? - nappy felt v bulky when changed compared to pur normal brand.

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 as above very bulky in morning

6 Would you buy New Pampers Baby-Dry again? - yes if on offer would sz up

7 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not? - yes if on offer but would advise sz up due to snug fit

1. He’s 14 months and we received size 4.
2. I was really impressed with the Pampers nappies.
3. I would definitely recommend them; they kept my baby dry at night (he does still have one change at night though!).
4. Pampers Baby-Dry were just as good as the nappies we usually buy (Sainsbury’s) at keeping baby dry at night, and a bit thinner so it felt like they had more flexibility. We were given some Pampers Baby Dry by a friend for our first child and these were a lot better then I remember and seemed much better quality.
5. I didn’t notice a less wet bulk nappy, but the nappies did feel thinner and more comfortable than our normal nappies, without any loss of protection.
6. Yes I would buy Pampers Baby-Dry again; only price would stop me, as I think they are slightly more expensive per nappy than our regular brand.
7. I would definitely recommend them to other parents, they had a lot of flexibility and they kept my baby dry!

1. 6 months / Size 3
2. Felt soft to the touch and was easy to put on with straps that stayed in place (even when baby was wriggling)
3. Bottom felt dry even with a full nappy the following morning, with no redness
4. Yes
5. Nappy didn't feel as bulky in the morning despite being on for 12 hours
6. Yes
7. I'd recommend to my friends who are just about to become mums for the first time and let them know about keeping baby's bottom dry overnight

1 Please state the age of your baby/child and the size of nappy you received. 22 month. Size 5
2 What was your overall impression of New Pampers Baby-Dry nappies? They are much thinner and softer than other nappies. However I found them to be very small fitting.. my son is not at the maximum weight range but they only just fitted.
3 Would you recommend new Pampers Baby-Dry for a dry night’s sleep? If so, why? Unfortunately not. In the time we were testing them, perhaps a week, we had two leakages, one small one huge.
4 Would you say new Pampers Baby-Dry is the best for a dry night’s sleep? My son dowsnt usually wake because of a wet nappy and he didnt while testing these. I dont thibk they could go 12 hours though. He goes to bed at 7.30 and is always up at 6 and the nappy was definitely very wet.
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? I do actually think they were less bulky than the ones we usually buy. Even the two times they leaked the nappy wasnt huge making me think it was more ill fitting.
6 Would you buy New Pampers Baby-Dry again? I would try them in a 5+ or 6 if they are available.
7 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not? I would recommend them as softer less bulky nappies but would advise that I found them not true to size.

1 Please state the age of your baby/child and the size of nappy you received.
11 months, size 4 nappies
2 What was your overall impression of New Pampers Baby-Dry nappies?
Seemed a lot thinner in hand, which was nice as they took up less room in the changing bag. Certainly less bulky when on. Seemed more absorbent than other nappies I have used.
3 Would you recommend new Pampers Baby-Dry for a dry night’s sleep? If so, why?
Yes, they have worked well with my son, and previously used them with my daughter. Pampers are a trusted brand with a lot of mums.
4 Would you say new Pampers Baby-Dry is the best for a dry night’s sleep?
Was definitely very absorbent throughout the night, no leaking at all.
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?
Yes, the little bulk there is is more spread out, so less dangling between the legs when wet.
6 Would you buy New Pampers Baby-Dry again?
Yes.
7 If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Pampers Baby-Dry nappies to other parents? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, Pampers are a trusted brand by many parents, and these nappies do exactly what is needed.
