Leaky nappies and I call them Pampers! I recommend aldi nappies and Asda's nappies. No leak and hold other things.

We are a Lidl household. Only size 2 so far but no issues yet. They're also so reasonably priced. £1.80 for 44.

I used pampers because that was the go to brand , not bad. We've gone to Aldi nappies now and I wouldn't go back , the quality for the price that they are is just unbeatable in my opinion.

I've had to change at different ages, when baby was born Only pamper pure and the pale green packet of Pampers disnt give her a rash. At about 7 months we switched to aldi and asda.

We used pampers with our first, only because my grandma kept buying them for us. No issues with them.

2nd baby now and he's in aldi, we had a pack of pampers newborn in hospital and some boots own brand then swapped to aldi. No issues with any of them so far, he's in size 2 now and I got the premium quick dry last trip which are great overnight.

I'd really like to use the biodegradable ones but they are so much more expensive.

I always found Pampers overpriced, and the supermarket own-brands just as good. But as others have said, it also depends on the shape of your baby's bum, so I wouldn't stock up too much too far in advance. And some babies are picky. Whereas both my DDs were best in Asda and Aldi, DS insisted from about 12 months on Morrissons only.

I liked pampers best. I did try aldi and Lidl's and they smelt much quicker. They did work but they stank as soon as dd did a wee even me and dh but very like whoaaaa get that thing off immediately. I don't know what the difference was as none of them leaked so can't complain with respect to that. But say I'm pushing dd about and need time to take her to the nearest changing unit it was wayyyy more pleasant not needing a clip over my nose every time with pampers.

Found Pampers smelt way more chemically than Tesco's (really unpleasant when sniffing for poo) and for the price, really not worth it. Recently discovered Amazon does nappies, been using the pull ups without issue
