1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

I tried the size 4 nappies, I loved how comfortable ds seemed in them, and how well they contained a very large poo!

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

As a parent, they are easy to put on, stretchy and contain wee and poo very well. As a baby they seem really comfy, ds is rolling and he didn’t dislodge the nappy at all

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

They are superior to other different nappy brands and I’ve tried all of them! They are also superior to pampers baby dry as with all the moving around ds is doing, these sometimes leaked

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

Really great for us, size 4 fitted well and ds is 4 months old (a chunky age 6-9 in clothes) and we have no leaks even when the nappy was verrrrry full

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

We tried size 4. I liked that there were zero leaks, even after a long night. Also liked how lightweight the nappies are. After seeing how absorbent they are I’d have expected them to be much thicker and bulkier. Really pleased with that.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

As a parent I liked that they are super absorbent and that baby experiences no soreness at all using these. As a baby I’m sure she would like the fact that there were no leaks so no stressful changes.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

I have found that with any other brand I’ve used we’ve always had the occasional leak. These ones were fantastic, no leaks!!
I also thought they were much softer than a lot of the other brands out there, less plasticky and crinkly.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

The fit of the nappies was great. They were really firm fitting but without being tight or leaving marks.
The protection from leaks is the best thing about them in my opinion.

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

I tested size 4. The best thing about them was the great fit on my son where other nappies have been too tight on the leg.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

As a parent I know I can be confident that they won't leak overnight. They have nice designs on them. My son is comfortable in the nappies and is never left with red marks around his thighs which other nappies have done. They seem to flex well with his movements.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

They don't smell like some supermarket brand nappies I have used in the past. The fit seems to better suit my sons shape.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

Couldn't fault either point - no leaks and the fit seemed comfy. Will definitely be using in the future to save on stain remover from poonamis!

1 - I tried Size 4. I like that they have a nice print and are very slim, not bulky at all.

2 - the best feature is the slimness of the nappy. Far less bulky than we're used to.

3 - they were of a similar absorption to other nappies we have tried so didn't think they were worth the extra cost.

4 - the fit was good but we still had a few leaks which was around the same percentage as the Tesco nappies we currently use.

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

We tested the size 4 nappies. The designs were cute and they fit well.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

They're a good fit and we had no leaks.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

We usually use Mamia or Lupilu from Lidl and Aldi. They're just as good as these, although considerably more expensive.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

We had no leaks with the nappies and they fit really well.

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

Size 4. I found them a bit more roomy than other size 4 nappies which I think made them seem more comfortable without being too big. They fitted my little girl very well.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

They were easy to put on and looked comfortable around her middle, along with being really secure. Despite being disposable the material seemed really soft against her skin.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

The material seems better quality and the absorbency was top notch. We didn’t have one accident (or explosion...) with this pack we tested.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

As above, great leak protection even when baby is moving every which way starting to learn how to get about.

I’ll be switching to the nappy once I’ve run out of my usual type.

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

Size 6 - I loved the sweet patterns and how soft they were.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

The stretchiness as they fit my chunky daughter really well

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

I did love the softness, however I found they filled up very very fast and felt they needed changing more frequently

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

The fit was excellent due to the stretchiness of the tabs, and they felt extremely soft and not plasticky like others. I didn't notice any leaks but I noticed they expanded a lot more than other brands so I felt they needed changing more often, and smelled a little stronger too. But it wouldn't stop me buying them again.

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

We tested size 4. Loved how slim and stretchy the felt compared to other brands we’ve tried in the past! They’re also very soft, both inside and outside!

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

As a parent - no leaks! My 7month old is a chunky boy (95th centile) and I feel that other brands we’ve tried don’t fit as well round his wee belly and thighs so we get leaks. I haven’t had to soak a single vest since testing Active Fit 🙌🏻😁
As a baby - So much room to move! My 7 month old is now on the move and the nice stretchy side tabs give his body all the room it needs to allow him to work out how to move around and explore (and by “explore” I mean “trash the house” 🤣🙈)

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

They definitely fit much better than other brands we’ve tried (Aldi, Asda, Kit+Kin, Naty and Pampers Baby Dry). We have always found other brands to have a strong smell when wet too and we didn’t find that with Active Fit! They are definitely more expensive than some of the other brands that we have tried but the quality justifies the price!

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

They’re not bulky and have a much better fit around the waist and thighs allowing our little boy to move around freely. We haven’t had a single leak since trialling Active Fit which I can’t say about any other brand at all 😊 We had settled on using Pampers Baby Dry but our boy is a very wriggly sleeper and we found that he still occasionally leaked in the night with those. We have switched to buying Pampers Active Fit since this trial as they were so good 😊

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

Size 5
The nappies felt lovely and soft, definitely the softest and thinnest nappy we have tried. The design is also very nice!

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

The tabs are super strong and secure but comfortable. I can see why they are marketed as active fit!

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

We actually use pampers baby dry nappies and they are similarly thin but I found they absorbed more than the active fit so are better for us at night. Once the summer starts and we no longer use vests I think the active fit may stay up better during the day so I think we'll use baby dry at night and active fit during the day. I'm not sure the wetness indicator is necessary at this size as it's pretty obvious when my boisterous toddler has been but 🤷‍♀️ maybe this is of use to others as it's not particularly common that I have seen at size 5.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

Good standard as expected from pampers. I would definitely stick with our baby dry for night time though.

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

I tested the size 4 and liked the fit, esp for night times.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

I think the fit is and the fact they expand and relax with the baby. My little one is walking and it seemed to move well with her.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

I have only tried a shops own brand and find the fit and absorbency much better, as well as no smell. We used pampers with our first and didn't think not to with my second.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

Great, we had no issue with them, and like I said it's nice to expands and relaxes with their tummies

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

I tested Size 4, I liked the look of them and how premium they felt as well.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

As a parent you know they are from a trusted brand, the absorbency is great and the stretchy fit for kicking legs and not chafing on the thighs. As a baby the comfort and dryness.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

Really great, I usually use just baby dry and these are much much better.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

Amazing they fit like a pant but with obviously the benefits of a nappy. Really stretchy, didn't leave red marks and stayed in place! The absorbency was great, no leaks overnight at all and nappy wasnt bulging like it normally is in the morning!

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

Size 6. They seemed like good nappies and child is happy wearing them.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

We are past the age of regular explosions, but seemed to have good absorbancy.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

I normally use size 5+. Didn't notice any difference in size with these ones.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

Good fit and no leaks. Toddler seemed comfortable in them day and night. Would like a bit stretchier sides as makes it easier to do up with a very wriggly little escape artist.

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

Size 6. They were light and soft, not bulky and thick like some disposables can be. They were a very comfy fit

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

The pants are great to move on to when your baby gets too big and fussy over nappy changes. They are a comfy fit, didn't leak and fold up nicely with the tab.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

Much less bulky. They feel like a premium nappy. Very soft cotton like feel, not plasticky

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

They fit well and we had no leaks. The current supermarket brand we use seem to be cut narrow and we have to stretch it out across her bum or we get leaks. These covered her bum with a better fit

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

Size 6. I love the waistband - so much easier to fasten than our usual brand (Sainsburys).

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

As noted I really like the waistband and fastening. My DS loves the patterns, especially the animal print. He also said they’re really soft when he’s wearing them (in the past he has commented about a brand being itchy and hard).

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

I really like them. They’re not bulky when worn and they offer full movement for DS. I would definitely buy again. Our current Sainsbury’s ones are definitely bulkier when worn!

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided.

The fit was great and three days in and we’ve had no leaks!

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

Size 6 and the designs were fun.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

Parent - easy to use and slim fit. Baby - no overnight leaks

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

Slimmer fit than Aldi nappies however a much more "plastic" smell.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

Leak protection is great, particularly overnight.

1. We tested size 6. My favourite thing was the comfort of them, very soft.

1. I'd say the comfort was the best feature as obviously child wears nappies all day (not the same one!!) so needs something comfortable to wear.

1. To be honest I wish pampers would bring back premium protection as these were my favourite! Unfortunately I'd say that these nappies are better than Aldi and Lidl as I find those a small fit, but on par with Asda.

1. Unfortunately these have leaked during the night which I'm disappointed with. Fine during the day though.

I'd use these nappies for daytime use but would have to use a different brand through the night to avoid leaks. On a side note, please bring back premium protection!!

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies? Size 6
2. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby? They feel quite soft and not too built. Look quite good too.
3. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried? Less bulky and softer.
4. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided? Was good. Had a couple of leaks overnight but that happens wuth all nappies

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

Tested size 4
Like that they were less bulky then our standard nappies and also had cute pictures on them

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

Less bulky so easier to store and easier for baby to move in

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

I really didn't like the smell of these nappies, I had to keep checking if DD had done a poo but it was usually just the nappy smell itself
They were very absorbent
DD developed a red bum whilst wearing these nappies, not really nappy rash but slightly red. Never had this with any other brand

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

They fitted very well although longer tabs would be good.
We had no leaks which is obviously good

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

Size 6. I liked that they seemed comfortable for my son, didn’t sag and feel heavy on him.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

As a parent all you want is your child to be comfortable and I think they did this for us both. Lasted a while between changes without being noticeably full.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

I prefer them, but I do prefer the active fit nappy pants overall. I think they just give a bit of extra comfort especially during the nights.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

I had no leaks with them and they fitted my son perfectly. Some other brands tend to not fit him correctly even in the next size up but these were fine.

.1.Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

Size 6. I liked that they didn't feel bulky.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

As a parent, I like that they fitted well and looked comfortable.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

I like that they weren't bulky, I prefer the high back that Sainsbury's nappies have.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

Fitted my child well, he has a long slim torso and skinny thighs so I was confident that they'd give enough protection.

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

Size 6 - loved how soft they felt and quite like pants

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

I tried size 6, I most liked the softness of them

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

For us, the softness was great they fitted well and didn’t leave indents some brands have by the cuff on the thigh. We didn’t have any leaks and they didn’t have a smell once damp.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

Softer than our current usual brand, they seemed more absorbent and didn’t swell as much.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

The fit was excellent, no indents on his thigh from the cuff, no leaks and great absorbency. Very impressive!

Dreadful nappies. My little one woke up covered in residue from the nappy. Never seen anything like it. Also has leaked several times.

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

We tested size 6 and thought they felt like such good quality in comparison to other nappies we use. They felt nice and soft, but also had no leaks whatsoever!

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

No leaks, which made for a happy toddler and parents. The cute designs on the nappy pleased my toddler too.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

They few like much better quality, and are love and soft. The tape was nice and strong so I wasn’t worried about the nappy slipping.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

They fit my toddler really well, and we had no leaks whatsoever, so we are very happy!

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?

Size 6 but I think I over estimated her size as they are loose but they are really comfy and have since bought size 5’s for her to use while potty training.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?

They have such a comfortable fit for climbing and running, not a single accident which totally saves me the changes of clothes.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

They feel a lot better quality and I don’t feel like they need changed as often as supermarket own brands I’ve tried.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided?

Fantastic protection, no leaks had yet.
