Aldi nappies - now poor quality!

If you don't like the Aldi ones any more then try the baby love. Heaps better than snugglers or huggies and still cheaper. Not as many in a packet as Aldi but they are still good value

Hi All,
we have x4 kids... 4 years and under with x3 in nappies and have always had the three boys in aldi nappies. Aldi's pullups for our 4 year old are crap too so I just buy the HAFU extra large pullups from nappy land and they are so much better! They are even better than drynites IMO... and that's saying something!

My husband thought I was going mad when I said to him that they had changed the weight. So out came my postage scales and sure enough a 0.5 GRAM difference!! Not to mention the YUK cover on them now.

So we are paying the same price for basically nappies that are CRAP IMO. Note - this is so far in the crawler nappies. I haven't seen their new design come out in the other sizes yet.

IMO they just don't last overnight like their predecessors. It they are going to change the toddler and junior nappies to the same crap quality they won't be having my business period - I too am very annoyed!

I've already been to nappyland in our area and their factory seconds premium seem to have the same weight as the older aldi nappies. If you buy a couple boxes of nappies they offer free delivery, but i'm not sure if they are australia wide... I am in Melbourne. So my next buy will be 4 boxes of nappies - from crawler for our 4 month old, junior, toddler and the hafu pullups... so lost business for aldi!

After having the kids so close together and dealing with nappies for the last 4 years consecutively take it from me... aldi have been slowly removing absorbancy from their nappies bit by bit. I've tried alot of nappies out there and they 'were' the best value for money.... not anymore! I hope someone from Aldi is gathering all these 'product' reviews too...

Shame Aldi... Shame shame shame...

I work for a company that produces nappies for one of the major brands.

Did you know that the thickness of a nappy little nothing to do with its absorption? A nappy contains fluff, like cotton wool, which provides the bulk and thickness, however it has very little performance capabilities. What absorbs fluid are the crystals inside the nappy. They are just like the water crystals you put in the garden, and can hold up to 50 times their weight in fluid. They are also more expensive than fluff. Using these crystals also means you can take out fluff but have just as much absorption. You may notice Huggies did this a few years back, and Pampers nappies are really thin - both because of this technology.
