Here’s what Pampers has to say about Baby-Dry Nappy Pants:
"When your little one is between six and eight months old, you may well notice a change in their movements... what started as a little ninja twist has suddenly turned into a lightning-fast commando crawl across the carpet, a Houdini-esque baby roll, or a beautiful bottom-shuffle! You’ll know then that one thing’s certain; change time isn’t going to get any easier!"

"Nowadays pants aren’t just for potty training – in fact more and more parents are telling us they prefer a pants-style nappy for everyday use with younger babies, because they’re so easy to put on and change - unlike taped nappies, you can put them on with one pull. So, if you’re contending with a professional mover, or a groover, it’s time to make the change and leave the wriggle wrestle behind, with Pampers Baby-Dry Nappy Pants!"

"So, what makes Pampers Baby-Dry Nappy Pants so good for wriggly babies? They have an all-around 360 degree fit stretchy waistband and flexible leg cuffs, so they are easier to pull on even when your little one is moving around. They also feature a unique Extra Sleep-Layer, which quickly absorbs wetness for up to 12 hours of overnight dryness, and Micro Pearls™ which absorb up to 30 times their weight and lock wetness away. In fact, Pampers Baby-Dry Nappy Pants contain the same innovations & features that are in your favourite taped Pampers nappies – so your little one can enjoy all of the benefits of Pampers best dryness, comfort and fit in an easy to use pants style!"

"So, from the first wriggle, try Pampers Baby-Dry Nappy Pants – it’s as easy as one-two-three!

Step 1: Slip your baby’s legs in and pull the pants up and on. Step 2: To change, don’t fear a wriggle-wrestle; just tear the sides. Step 3: Roll the pants up, stick the tape in place and you’re all done!"

We always have some little scraps of flannel fabric to pop over our DS's willy. Stops him having a wee while changing his nappy.

I also have to sing silly songs, make faces and pretend to eat toes in order to keep him on the mat.

Dd2 has eczema and when she's covered in cream and slippery from the bath she's a nightmare to get nappies on! She prefers to stand while I try and wrestle them on her. I also find a wee book helps to distract her!

On a bad day, mine is a leg-propelled rocket. She kicks herself off against my legs with one big push, launching herself backwards along the ground and right off the far end of the nappy change mat.

My little girls always been a wriggle bum she's always wants to be on the go. When she was younger she used to get so frustrated that she couldn't get away from nappy changing, she'd still give it her best effort wriggling and waving arms and legs everywhere 😂 now at 18 months we have to get nappy changing time over and done with as quick as possible so she can run off again and do things like jump in muddy puddles

when my little girl learned to roll over and crawl at about 7 months nappy change was a night mare if we weent quick enough she would roll over and crawl off quicker than a moving bullet was funny the carpet didnt think so ahha thank god for carpet cleaners hahah

We get all the moves mentioned, plus a child who is determined to help clean up with wet wipes which has led to daily change mat washes, multiple clothing changes and parents who are now adept at heading off helpful little hands bearing wet wipes!

My daughter doesn't wriggle so much but she would wee as soon as the nappy comes off. It must be the fresh air on her skin, luckily she's a girl so at least it dribbles down on the mat and I don't get covered in it. I need to be super quick!

A good old fashioned wriggly worm and a slippery one at that!

My nearly 2 year old flips straight over on to his tummy as soon as you take his nappy off. Its an absolute nightmare trying to clean him up properly and get a clean nappy on him. He thinks its hilarious, while I however have been known to work up a nervous sweat if I need to change him in public!

This is totally my son too - he's 11 mths and so strong and I worry that he will knock himself whilst struggling to turn and crawl away with me wrestling him and trying to prevent poo flying everywhere!
Must try these nappies ...

Our baby is a wriggle - bottom! She is a cheeky monkey! We give her a toy to keep her amused when nappy changing, or I have recently taken to giving her the wipes; it's the only time she's allowed to pull wipes out!!
Oh, and I have yet to find a nappy that doesn't leak at night- she's a front sleeper... suggestions welcome!! We've tried nappies on back to front, etc!

You don't want to hear the details of my most recent attempt to sort out stinky baby with a more flexible pelvis than Elvis :O ! Suffice to say, we both needed a dunk in the shower....

DD hated even the word nappy - we had to call them 'bridgets' - we christened them as that after Bridget Jones's pants!!

Surely everybody has a wriggler at some stage. No matter how good they are, at some point they will totally not get it and can't see why they have to be complying to the routine!

My nearly 8th month old tried to do crazy backward rolly pollys, shuffles off the mat or does a sprint like a cheetah, he's soooo wriggly!
Pampers pants look good :)

I have a flipper. I line him up perfectly on the mat, take off the old nappy, clean him up and as I am distracted by reaching for the new nappy he flips over on to his front and tries to make his escape. I am grateful that he waits until he is clean otherwise the mess would be horrendous!

Thanks for the comments and congrats to MTBMummy who wins a £200 John Lewis voucher and a 6 month supply of nappies!

I think we must be quite lucky as R doesn't go anywhere, just stays put until she is nice and clean. My DS used to be off like a rocket though. In the end I used to let him have his 10 mins without and then he would happily let me put a nappy back on.

we found distraction was key, give them something to focus on or a toy to chew so they're not paying attention to you

Thank you so much, I'm over the moon!

My little boy used to push himself backwards or roll over and try and escape at speed! I used to like the pull on pants if he didn't have too many clothes on, or was standing up - nappies were generally easier when out because you could get away without removing all clothes and shoes. I also found nappies to be more absorbent overnight.

Ari is going to be a kickboxer in later life, her legs are so strong. They go 100 mile an hour, constantly kicking at the worst possible time.

This is definately my daughter, she is 11 months old and will not sit still to have her nappy changed! Quite often my hubby and i have to distract her with toys, mobile phone, remote control or hold her down (which sounds awful). But rather that than a crawling baby with a dirty bum and no nappy lol.

Not had any problems with wrigglers - must be lucky - it's the peeing that gets me - do you have to wait till between nappies and go for the distance record?

My daughter was amazing at potty training but At 13 months old she HATED nappies so we tried her on the toilette. She only ever had 2 accidents during the day. She would cry and scream and kick when I tried to put a nappy onI her. She didn't mind pull ups at night xx
