Best disposable nappies?

[Thesebootsweremadeforwalking]

DD arrived recently, and although DS isn't quite 5 I have forgotten everything I ever knew about baby supplies, I think!

So.... With DS we only ever used Pampers, I know there was a reason but I have no idea what it was. The own-brand nappies are lots cheaper. We're trying a couple of supermarket own brands at the mo, but does anyone have a recommendation for any particular one?

Would be grateful, I just don't remember Pampers being so expensive last time around!

On Tescos today - think we might to be onto a winner here! They seem nice and soft on DD's botty and they actually feel dry when wet IYSWIM.

I expected lots from the Asda ones after hearing MN recommendations but we found them horrible. Chunky, stiff and somehow seem to get massive really quickly so I ended up changing them twice as often and negating the saving I made buying them in the first place.

Boots own are the same but worse, less absorbent and still big and bulky even before wet.

Sainsbury's not really much better than Asda, just seem to be so stiff which strikes me as uncomfortable between their poor soft squishy legs.

Pampers are great, never leak and seem to fit really well and appear comfortable, but of course they are expensive.

Top of the pile for us though is Tesco Loves Baby (purple pack, think they do others but not used them) they feel and fit just like Pampers Baby Dry but cost half as much. Again we've never had leakage problems and they are soft and thin enough not to get in the way when DD2 is moving about.

Oh gosh I've just written more about nappies in two minutes than I've managed about anything work related in about two hours...

It depends on the individual child. For our 17mo we've tried, aldi, Tesco, asda, Sainsburys, huggies, pampers baby dry & active fit.
Some people I know swear by asda's little angels, others by Tesco.
Out of the above the only one that ds doesn't leak out of. Are pampers active fit.
I'd say buy a small pack of all of them to try.

Asda aren't for us, leaky and not very dry. We got on quite well with the Morrisons ones though. Wondering where my nearest Lidl is....

Lidl Toujours are without a doubt the best. Aldi come up small compared to lidl in the same size.

Lidl's also say 'Mumsnet best 2012' on them so what more proof do you need

[weeblueberry]

The Pampers one with the strip that goes blue when they've weed so I don't have to undo the nappy to know if I should change it because I'm incredibly lazy. :)

Aldi mama mia are our favourite. I hated Pampers, felt they had a chemical smell and hated the mesh inside them.

[Thesebootsweremadeforwalking]

Are kiddiecare the same ones as the Morrisons own brand, or are they different?

We've been using Asda ones today but having problems with leaky BF poo!

[starjules]

I have a little wriggler so tried lots of ones and Lidl toujours are my favourite. I am now starting to drive to Lidl which is damn miles away just for their nappies! I live 2 mins away from asda so that's how good they are.

[SpooMoo]

Lidl, definitely. But they start at size 3.

[NellysKnickers]

Pampers are the ones that leak less for us. I wouldn't recommend Boots own I'm afraid.

[stargirl1701]

Aldi's Mamia.

Have struggled to find anything that works other than Pampers for my newborn (believe me I'm trying thanks to the cost!) but Asda have been great for my toddler. Funnily enough Boots have been a disaster for both of mine,shows there's no set 'winner'!

[Purplehonesty]

Lidl toujours are fab

[stowsettler]

ALDI Mamia. End of thread!

[kimmy121]

aldis mania are great but they seem to sell out quickly in size 3 at the moment, so Asdas little Angels are second best. have been using a mix of these for 5 months, no leaks.

the first 3 months we used pampers/buggies that had been bought and found the pampers leaked a few times

[MrGeresHamster]

We use Boots own brand ones, which have been brilliant for us. They also quite often do some great offers on them.

[PipsWife]

I love Asda little angels and Kiddicare just4bums.
Very similar so I ordered the Kiddicare ones to be delivered and grab a pack from Asda when getting low or forgot to order !!

[Glimmerberry]

Lidl toujours are the best!

[DeathMetalMum]

Though overall boots are my favourite.

Gone = good (on phone!!!)

Tbh with my toddler I don't really notice a difference I get the 'superdry' version of each own brand nappies -usually more nappies per pack and they all seem to be fine. With younger ones dd(3 months) I prefer nappies that have an elasticated bit at the back to hopefully stop poo explosions but only really have a problem if we forget to pull the nappy up at the back or dd does a poo after not going for a couple of days. There is so much she would need a nappy up to her armpits to actually contain it. They are all pretty much the same imo.

[Gooseysgirl]

We've tried them all at some point (DD 15months) and are currently using Asda little angels. When DD was newborn I used Huggies initially, then switched to Just for Bums from Kiddicare which I found brilliant and used for several months. Have had varying degrees of success with Lidl, Tesco and Sainsburys. DD's nursery use Pampers and she's never had a problem with them, I just can't justify the spend so don't use them. I think all babies are different shapes and it really is a case of trial and error depending what age they are too. For instance Sainsbos were gone for us when she was size3 but size 4 were a disaster!

We expected so much from Little Angels due to so many recommendations but as with many things, every child is different and DS just didn't get on with them. They weren't absorbent enough and we had to change him much more regularly. We use the Pampers Baby Dry day and night and they're the only brand so far that work for us. However I know someone who's DC got a practically raw bum from the Baby Dry Although I haven't tried Naty yet myself, a friend's DD would often leak poo as well as having nappy rash with a variety of brands but the Naty is perfect on all fronts for her.
