Pampers??

[Party-of-five]

Hey just noticed in the coles catalouge they sell pampers so i was just wondering if anyone has used them??

[spooky]

I have. They are thinner than most sposies but don't seem any less absorbent. They do however have a freaky smell to them. Not bad, just perfumed.

I use cloth and sposies at home, but wasn't comfortable with the "perfume" of them - it makes me suspicious. What are they trying to hide? Poo? If there's a poo, then change the nappy, dont cover the smell!!!!

Sorry I got a bit carried away there. Functionality of the nappy is fine.

They are horrible.

Like spooky said, they have a weird smell to them, they are really thin & not absorbant at all. The thing that bothered me the most was that you can feel the absorbant crystals inside the nappy. So instead of having the crystals with a layer of cotton wool over them, you have the crystals then the outer cover. I can't imagine it would be comfortable for bub.

Yep I have used them heaps and really like them.

I either buy them or huggies, I like that they are thinner and seem to wrap around a bit better.

No issues with them at all highly reccomend them!

Pampers are hands down THE BEST disposable nappies i have used.
They are much thinner, and no less absorbant.

they are also crazily expensive. I know you get what you pay for but they're just out of our pricerange now

I am so tempted to buy some but the price is over the top!

i tried them as part of a trial, i found them good, only thing i didnt like was the inside seemed to bunch up when wee'd in was weird

I've used them, but just didn't like them.

They were super-absorbent and I never had a single leak, so in that regard they were good.

But I found it a bit off putting a perfumed nappy on my boy. I can also only describe them as "crunchy". They just didn't feel like they would be comfortable to wear and seemed really noisy with movement. Those things got to me more than the super-absorbency pleased me, so I only ever used them once.

thanks for the replies...i only ever use huggies but i find it a big thing to try others because if they are no good it seems like a big waste of money. but its good to know in case they come on special.

I love them - they are on special at Coles this week for $10 per pack - usually around $16 - it works out at 32c per nappy in the size i'm using - so actually really quite cheap I want them for night nappies as they are just so absorbent.

Hmm interesting that the only one that said they weren't very absorbant had a girl & the others have boys.... I wonder if that makes a difference? I know for us Snugglers were good for DD but not DS.

[Olive]

sarah i find them absorbant (M wore one this arvo) i just find the inner bunches up

[AliBaby]

I used them in the trial. I loved them. They were my favourite! Didnt bulk DD up with a nappy but were really asorbant. A bit too expensive though.

[Liviam]

I've used pampers on my both my DD and DS and I really liked them. They are really absorbant and thin. They are a great fit for my beanstalk thin DD and chunky bubba DS. I use them or huggies. I didn't notice the purfume smell but to be honest didn't really take much notice.

i bought some to try and because their new born go up to 6 kilos(im feeling sad about DD nearly being out of newborn huggies lol) and they seem really good, nice and thin and DD slept for 8 hours and no leaks
