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

We tested size 6 - that they didn't leak. DS is a massively heavy wetter, especially overnight and these are so much better than any others I've tried.

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

You'd have to ask the baby! I suspect he'd like not waking up wet though! I like the slim fit, again the absorbency, the design and the fact that they don't smell too much.

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

They're definitely more absorbant than our usual Sainsbury's ones and they have a bit more room in them than the other brands.

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

Fit was great, leak protection brilliant. I found the tabs a bit fiddly at first, I'm not sure why, but got it sorted. They have a nice high fit on ds which I think is a good indication of comfort for him.

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

Size 6 - the best thing was no leaks!

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

Leak proof, nice slim fit, not too bulky and good strong adhesive on the tabs!

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

Better leak protection, particularly over night, and seemed to be a more comfy fit for my increasingly active little one!

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

Very impressive, would recommend!

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 liked the soft feel and the patterns.

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

My toddler didn't really notice and change that he could articulate, but I was surprised by how soft and slim they were.

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

I've only ever used supermarket own brands such as lidl, tesco etc. The pampers nappies were significantly softer and less bulky, which surprised me. I can now see why people would choose to spend more on a premium brand such as Pampers.

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

They provided excellent protection and the fit was fine.

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

We tried size 6, I liked how soft and absorbent the nappies where. My little one has sensitive skin and they settled really well with their skin.

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

As a parent I like the tabs; they are very secure and can be altered easily if needed, the absorbency is great so no leaks even overnight and the softness is lovely and seems fab on even sensitive skin. As a baby I love the way I can move in the nappies, they fit really well and are nice and secure to my body and I love the designs as they make nappy change time fun.

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

They are great and would be my preferred choice. Personally I don't think other brands compare to Pampers Active Fit. They are a brand I would trust to keep my little one dry.

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

The fit is great, they sit in a lovely position on the body and didn't have any gaps. The protection was fab, we didn't experience any leaks even overnight with these nappies.

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies? Size 5. They were soft and really absorbent. My little one can get irritated by some nappies when wet but these were great.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby? For my little one, she was comfy and her skin was well looked after, for me they were really absorbent and we had no leaks.

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried? They are as good if not better.

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided? I thought they were great, if they were priced lower I'd definitely switch to using them all the time.

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

We tried the size 6 Nappies. The thing I loved the most was how light weight and comfortable they feel.

2-What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?
The best feature for both is a parent seeing how comfortable their child is. Nothing can beat the satisfaction of a mother knowing her precious child is comfortable in a nappy they spend hours in.
For the child again it's the comfort.
These don't feel plasticy like the cheaper brands do.

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

Think I was thinking ahead with my last answer but yes, compared to other brands the Pampers are Longer in length which definitely makes them more comfortable. Less plastic feeling Has a more natural touch and last but not least They are designed so giving an extra nappy to the child to hold and look at whole getting them changed helps keep them still long enough to get it done!

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

Very happy to say we haven't had any leaks at all! Thank you

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

Size 4. I liked the design and the stretch in the waistband.

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

Easier to do up with good tabs; didn't leak.

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

We usually use Aldi nappies and I didn't think Pampers was significantly better.

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

The fit was good, my girl has chunky thighs and they didn't seem to rub her legs. We had no leaks :)

1. Which size of Pampers Active Fit Nappies did you test and what did you like most about the nappies?
We tested the size 6. It's totally unnecessary but we liked the print on them 🤣 DDS favourite was to choose a "blast off" nappy which had rockets and a general space theme. They also had a good fit.

2. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby?
For the toddler it was the pattern. As a parent it was that they were a good fit. They seemed a bit bigger in the length than our usual brand size 6 which worked slightly better for us.

3. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?
They are just as good as our normal brand. No leaks overnight. Didn't smell. Nice and thin. It's just price point compared to our regular brand that lets them down. But if our normal brand wasn't available and I could actually get a size 6 I'd buy them.

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

We did have 1 leak but that was more due to the toddler crawling around and the bit around the legs got a bit out of place. Otherwise they were fine. They didn't go massively bulky like some nappies do when they reach capacity and when we changed them DD didn't feel sopping wet.

Size used and like most? We used size 6. Really liked the patterns.

Best features?
Liked the slim size and the nappy felt secure. Legs were nice and flexible.

Compare to other brands?
Price is more expensive. Prefer to use nappy pants rather than tag nappies. But happy with performance.

Fit and leaks?
Fit was great. DD was comfortable in the nappy and we had no leaks overnight.

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

Size 4. Good fit.

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

Seemed comfortable and DD seemed fine in the morning even with a full nappy, wasn't irritated with it.

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

Good soaking capacity compared to other brands I've used.

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

Excellent.

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

Size 5 for my grandaughter who I care for 2 days per week.

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

I felt the fit was good - we didn't get the nappy listing to one side which happened on occasion with our usual brand. I also noticed no odd smell from Pampers - apart from the times it was down to her!

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

See above.

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

Our toddler drinks a lot of water and recently our usual brand has been so leaky that I've found puddles right where she was standing. This didn't happen once with Pampers.

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

Size 4, they had a cute design, were slim and bulky at all. They have the wetness indicator too which was nice to have back again.

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

The wetness indicator, the softness of the material (no soreness which we’ve had with some other brands)

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

No leaks and are really soft. They seem to fill abit more quickly than other brands but that might have been our little one drinking more due to the heat.

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

The fit was good, we’re at the lower weight limit of size 4 but the tabs were good and were sturdy enough to redo (our little one likes to undo his nappy when we’re getting him dressed).

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

I tested size 6, i liked they had a really good size waistband, they fitted a lot better than size 6 in other brands I've tried.

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

Definitely as a parent the best thing was no leaks at all and how slim they are so didn't look bulky under clothing. Best thing as a child was how they fitted so well, the large waistband allowed him to run around freely especially helpful in the hot weather we have been having.

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

They have a lot more room than other brands but zero leaks and also fit better around the waist

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

Absolutely spot on, if they are available when i do my weekly supermarket shop i will definitely be purchasing these

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

Size 6 which I couldn't find in 3 tescos. I liked how soft they were.

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby? Leak free and soft.
2. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried?

Much softer and more absorbant.

Good fit around legs which seemed to prevent leaks (apart from one overnight leak)

we tested size 4. Like the soft feel and the nice designs

they definitely fit really well for a moving baby. We only had ours for night time use and they really lasted well as my sons very fidgety.

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

I always try other brands and end up going back to pampers. They really are the best nappies for softness. Fit, don’t leak and don’t smell

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

*my sons on the big end of a 4 and not quite a 5 but they fit well and we had no leaks

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

We tried size 6, the tape on the sides felt more stretchy than our usual nappies which made it fit better and they weren't too bulky.

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

We didn't have any leaks when we used them which definitely made me very happy, the different patterns on them amused my daughter.

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

These felt a bit more stretchy on the seams which fit her better, sometimes she can get a little bit of a gassy belly after eating and these accommodated that well, but when it went away the nappies still fitted well.

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

I was very happy with them and would use them again

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

Size 5. I liked their slim fit.

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

Slim fit, didn't cause leaks, seemed comfortable.

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

Quite similar, but on the better side.

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

Great fit. No wee leaks and minimal poo leaks.

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

5 - no leaks!

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby? No leaks, good absorbency
2. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried? As good as any others we've tried.
3. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided? Good slim fit and no leaks experienced.

Size 4. They’re not bulky at all.

My baby is now on the move and I felt the nappies stayed in place. As it’s been hot lately, he’s wearing fewer layers and yet we’ve had no leaks.

Similar but probably a bit better.

No leaks at all, even when wearing fewer layers and after poo explosions.

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

Size 6. Easy to put on and seemed comfortable.

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

They do work well for active toddlers and seem comfortable. As a parent, it's good that they didn't leak.

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

I like these nappies but they're not my favourite. They're better than Tesco's own brand but not as good as Pura.

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

All good. No leaks here although didn't use them overnight.

1. I tested size 6. I like them as I had no leaks, so I feel confident using them when out and about.

1. Absorbency and no leaks. Seemed comfortable for my son - there was no chaffing.

1. On a normal day I use cloth nappies. When I use disposables its usually Pampers Baby Dry. As much as I prefer cloth for environmental reasons, I use Pampers when we are staying overnight somewhere without washing facilities, or when I know it could be a long time between changes, as pampers reliably last longer. I found Pampers Active Fit similar to Pampers Baby Dry in terms of absorbency and comfort. I preferred the Baby Dry as I get the pants style. I notice both Active Fit and Baby Dry sag when there's wee in them, even if the nappy isn't full. This doesn't happen with cloth.

1. Good fit, no leaks. As yet, I haven't had a messy poo in the Pampers Active Fit to test containment. I'd happily chose them as an alternative to Baby Dry if they had a similar price point.

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

A. Size 6 I liked the design and soft feel of the nappies.

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

A. Parent: softness didn't irritate or rub. Child: easy to put on, not restrictive of movements

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

A. I usually use Pampers but the nappy pants style. I didnt like these compared to the nappy pants I found the gaped and leaked when particularly active movements whereas I've never had a leak with the nappy pants.

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

A. See above question, ok for short periods of time or inactive but with a wriggley toddler who wears nappies for bed and moves a lot in his sleep they leaked quite a few times (but not every night).

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

Size 6 . The flexibility, they felt a lot more accommodating than other size 6

1. What are the best features of Pampers Active Fit Nappies, as a parent and as a baby? Size, non leak, absorb more and last longer

1. How do Pampers Active Fit nappies compare to other nappy brands you've tried? They lasted much longer and no leaks overnight

1. What did you think of the fit of the nappies and the protection from leaks they provided? Very good fit. No leaks atall

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

We tried size 5, my favourite thing was the softness

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

They are really soft, not at all scratchy, fit really well, have nice designs, good absorbency, and seem comfortable for the little one.

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

Better than many brands but about on par with Lidl Lupilu which is significantly better value

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

The fit was really good, secure but soft and comfortable. We do have the odd more nighttime leak with Pampers than Lidl but my little one is a heavy night wetter
