I have been using aldi nappies for a year and they have been great. My son drinks a lot of water and they have never leaked. I really loved the quality and price.
I just bought a new packet on Monday and noticed that the nappies had changed. The are thinner, both the outside width and the inner lining with the animal print all over instead of just on the front. Now they leak every night. I am so furious. Aldi nappies were the best but now they have gone to zero with the new ones. Very fustrating. Now i have to go buy huggies.
I noticed you have a 1yr old, Have you looked at MCN's (modern cloth nappies) they're HEAPS easier than the old terry flats... trust me, they have to be real easy for me to use them!!! There are threads here for you to browse if you want to find out more I've bought heaps of seconds & second hand mcn's & they're just as good as new (to save money).
Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it... I wish someone had told me about them when I had DD! I cant stand having to buy disposables on the occasions I do cause they cost so much these days!
Good luck finding a nappy (cloth or disposable) that works for you... there are plenty to choose from thats for sure!
Yup. We use them at work and they are nowhere near as good as they were. They used to feel all lovely and cushiony and soft. Now they just fel papery and rubbish.
I only use Aldi nappies and have been using their version of 'pull-ups' for DD1 and haven't had an issue, the newer one does feel thinner but i have had no issue with absorbency.
I did find however as they seemed 'thinner' i had to be more aware of the inner elastic and make sure it was pulled right for the girls, if i left it i had slight leaks.
My girls are big on #2's and if they ever leak it's on a pooslposion and i've had no issues.
Wow pandora what a score! Where did you get them from?
I used to use aldi nappies too but switched to baby love for the same reason - they are not as good anymore. Now I use babylove cause I can get them in the bulk boxes but I have tried the gumnut babies Coles ones and they were great too.
Yep the new Aldi are crap! We thought maybe we needed to go up a size so we tried that and DS still woke up soaked They also have a horrible smell as soon as he wets in them so waste of money on those 2 packs. We only use disposables at night, MCNs through the day. Mamia used to be the best now they are terrible!
We have changed to the Coles Drifit and no leaks, no chemical smell, and no gel. I think that was another of Aldi's "improvements" but I'm not a fan of gel on DS's skin either.
yeah i too have noticed that they are not so great now. they arent the worst we have used, but they dont cut the mustard in the way that they did. we use them pretty much overnight only (MCNs during the day) but today we travelled on a plane and i noticed that the smell was gross and when i looked inside it was completely soaked and chalky ITMS. i will have to shop around now.
Aldi nappies - now poor quality!
