What are the best nappies you've found. Nappies/pants

Shannon9955 · 19/01/2023 11:04

My daughter has started sleeping through the night (thank god, it only took 8 months😂) she's sleeping 8pm-8am so of course isn't waking for a nappy change. I found she was constantly leaking through, and it's a pain constantly changing and washing her bed and bedding and sleep bags. I use Asda little angel nappies and I feel like since they've changed them they are shocking. I then tried tesco Fred & Flo and they are just as bad. Aldi ones also I used up until size 4 as they were like napkins soon as they got to size 4 but I swore by them in the newborn days.

Ive since tried nappy oants, bought pampers but they are so expensive for so little you get. Also tried rascal and friends and I got them in her size which is size 4 and they are so loose so I don't know if I just need to downsize her in them.

What are your recommendations? She also sleeps in her tummy so all the wee goes up her front

I've always used the Fred and Flo and bought the plus ones. So 6+ for example and they've always been fab. I find most other nappy brands useless. Aldi were always the second choice for us, again in the plus size for absorbency.

Thanks

My advice is to put a pull up nappy over the regular nappy. It'll mean you aren't limited to one particular brand and won't have any availability issues! Hope this helps. I did this for my dc and it worked a treat.

Thanks

Gossipxox · 19/01/2023 11:10

Definitely try the bigger size for night times I always use Aldi and they’ve never failed me but I completely agree with little angels nappies from Asda they’ve changed and they are rubbish

Thanks

Picklewicklepickle · 19/01/2023 11:10

Aldi up to size 4, didn’t fit after that. Tesco Fred and Flo cheap ones were reasonable. TBH I used to get Pampers nappy pants (the red packet ones) whenever they were on offer (always one of the supermarkets or Boots) and use Tesco between.

Thanks

Holdmycoat · 19/01/2023 11:12

Forgot to mention I always found with going up a size the leg holes would be larger meaning leaks (I had wiggly babies!)

Thanks

SalviaOfficinalis · 19/01/2023 11:13

My DS always leaks at night too from lying on his front.

Pampers active fit in one size bigger than usual have been the best we’ve found (only buy when on offer).

They’re expensive but I keep them for night time, use cheap ones in the day.

Other people say to put a Tena lady (one of the thick ones) inside the nappy, but I’ve not tried it myself

Thanks

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 19/01/2023 11:17

Bambo pricey but brilliant. We only used them at night, and it was well worth the expense. 1 a night. I'm not sure they are available of the high street, but plenty online.

Thanks

I saw the tesco nappy pants the other day and I read about them and someone said they compare to pampers pants. I love pampers, but I just don't agree paying the prices they are. I can't do it😂 are the tesco oants good?

That's exactly what I've found. I did try 4+ but they were hanging on her and it would just all move around and leak

We bought pampers pants just for the night and I was guilty of using them in the day. I found them so much easier to put on. Then I of course I loved them but for the little you get in the packs it's not worth it at all

Pampers, but I only buy when on offer and stock up, wouldn’t even try Aldi or Lidl I don’t live close enough to them and wanted ones I could get on delivery / easy

Thanks

DrMarciaFieldstone · 19/01/2023 11:31

I only managed to use pampers; everything else leaked or caused rashes

It’s not so awful if you stock up when they’re on offer.

Thanks

FlounderingFruitcake · 19/01/2023 11:33

The pampers are always on offer somewhere. Just stock up when you see a decent offer and only use them overnight. The increased cost will be what like 10p a day, £3 in a month which is cheaper than the extra laundry when she wets through!

Thanks

Get cheaper nappy pants for daytime, so you still have the convenience. Keep the pampers with her PJs!

Thanks

Username721 · 19/01/2023 11:37

I tried every brand with my baby. I found Fred & Flo from Tesco to be ok during the day with regular changes, but useless at night. Same with Lidl’s brand, Asda etc.

I just stick with Pampers now. Obviously more expensive but I think that’s preferable to wet PJS, sheets etc.

Thanks

Emmamoo89 · 19/01/2023 11:41

I love little angel ones

Thanks

ToddleToddleToddle · 19/01/2023 11:54

I used to swear by Asda but since they changed the design they're crap. Still use them during the day

Pampers at night. They send me money off coupons every now and then (can't remember how i subscribed to this!), which can be stacked with tesco clubcard prices

I also stop giving giving drinks (except bedtime milk) in the last hour before bed. He drinks well during the day so he's well hydrated

Thanks

Lockdownmummy · 19/01/2023 12:04

Pampers Baby Dry Night pants - stock up when they are on offer which they currently are in Sainsbury’s

Sainsbury's own brand nappy pants in the day (and just about survive a night if we've run out of pampers!)

Thanks

MaryBerrysCamelToe · 19/01/2023 12:49

I cloth nappy during the day but my twins are heavy wettest at night so use a pampers.
Feel free to pop me a message or ask here if you would like some recommendations to access cloth nappies. X

Thanks

fairtrauchled · 19/01/2023 13:00

My DD uses size 4+ from Aldi on her 7 month old.Her wee one sleeps 12-13 hrs every night with no leaks(sleeps on back)

Thanks

I definately recommend using a pull up nappy over a regular nappy. I found it was so much easier and meant I could get any brand!

Rascals nappies from Tesco are the best followed by lidl premium

Thanks

OceanbreezeSun · 31/01/2023 20:53

Only use pampers - we stock up and buy in bulk whenever they are on offer.
We did try supermarket brands with dd & they were never as good & often leaked.

Thanks

Sereni5 · 01/02/2023 06:40

Aldi are the best hands down. Pampers at night sometimes. But have saved a small fortune using Aldi nappies.

Thanks

QueenLagertha · 01/02/2023 07:05

Tesco premium brand rascal and friends here. Brilliant nappy. Use the ordinary Fred and flo during the day.

Thanks
