    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'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.
