Huggies, The Only Nappies For My Baby.

Advantages: They don't leak and they keep my baby dry and comfortable.
Disadvantages: None

...When my son was born just over 17 months ago I had already stocked up on a few different sized nappies. The reason for this, well when I'd had my daughter some seven years previously I was completely un-prepared and as my daughter was quite a small baby I ended up with a bag full of nappies all way to big for her! This wasn't going to happen a second time and as luck would have it my local chemist sells nappies seperately. This did work out a little bit more expensive but I only bought two or three of each size from premature to mini, this would make sure I'd have something to fit him wether he was tiny like his big sister or a baby elephant (which he turned out to be). As for the make of the nappies well to be honest that never came into question, it just had to be Huggies. I'd used these on my daughter when she was a baby...

Review of Huggies Nappies

A baby in a 'proper' nappy looks gorgeous!

Advantages: cost, simplicity, resale value, good for sensitive skin, look very cute
Disadvantages: initial outlay cost, having to wash them.

...and is a good all rounder (it is also slightly cheaper) Then you have the bamboo fibre nappies, which are incredibly soft, they are good if your babys skin is particularly sensitive, however they do take longer to dry, lastly are the microfibre fleece ones which also have good absorbency but dry really quickly- they come out of the washing machine almost dry. I actually have a few of each type and they are all good in their own ways, but the cotton ones are always a great option. Each nappy has a 'tounge' for extra absorbency, the size one nappies have the tounge seperate as a newborn doesnt always need this and it makes the nappy bulkier, the size 2 nappies have the tounge sewn in. The nappy has various patches of velcro allowing you to get a really good fit on your baby even when they are at the smallest end of the size range. Oh, and your...

Review of Little Lamb Reusable Cloth Nappies

A thin Nappy for tiny Babies

Advantages: nice slim fit for a newborn, quick drying, inexpensive
Disadvantages: needs a gusseted wrap to prevent leg leaks, not super absorbent

...performed well as a day nappy, but the two times I used it at night, I found it to be useless in comparison to most of my other nappies, especially my Nappy Nations and prefolds. It probably would do as a night nappy with two terry boosters in, but that would seriously bulk it up and alter the fit as well to where the side flaps would barely fold over his skinny tummy ( I know, I tried it!). Based on my experince, I would not recommend it as a nappy for an older baby who would wee a lot more. At £4 each, it makes a very economical newborn nappy as newborns do not wet as much, though I would invest in some terries or prefolds or a couple Nappy Nations to use at night or for going out in. Though in all honesty, I found muslins to be just as effective a daytime newborn nappy, better at explosive poo containment, a lot quicker drying, and less...

Review of Imse Vimse Nappies

Nappies for your little water baby

Advantages: Fun designs, easy to use, widely available
Disadvantages: Not that cheap

...I wanted to start my son swimming young, and wasn't sure about whether I could use disposable nappies in a swimming pool, so I did a little research by asking a few friends, and I found out that it probably isn't a good idea as they swell up very quickly! So I went off to the supermarket, and I saw these on the shelves. I grabbed a packet of small Huggies Little Swimmers, and reluctantly handed over my £4.99, which I thought was quite steep for just a few nappies, and got ready to take my then 3 month old swimming. The nappies are made by Huggies, who obviously also make a lot of nappy products so you can be quite sure that they know what they are doing. They come in 3 different sizes, and with different designs on, so you, or your picky toddler, can choose which ones they want to have to avoid any arguments. The sizes are as follows...

Oh Nappy Days!

Advantages: Make you feel very environmentally friendly
Disadvantages: They leak if not changed regularly

...Why am I writing a review on Terry Towelling Nappies, when I no longer have a child, let alone a baby?? Absolutely no idea, but I really am getting depressed by the amount of rubbish in our environment and disposable nappies are one of the main culprits. Tales from the 1980's Back in the days of yore, or atleast when I was a very young mum, struggling to make ends meet and walking miles with a pram for a bargain, the very idea of a disposable nappy was just way out of reach. We had something called 'Tufty Tails' which were basically a large, rectagonal block of cotton wool, which you tied onto your babies bottom with a strange plastic sheet, called a 'snib'. It was ok all the time your baby was lying asleep, but the little perisher's never laid still, and so the cotton wool would bunch into chunks and with the urine it would get...

Pampers New Baby Nappies

Advantages: Good quality, Secure
Disadvantages: Cost

...I started off using Pampers New Baby nappies when my daughter was born, mainly because these nappies were provided free in the Bounty new baby hospital bag. Overall, I was really pleased with these nappies. They fitted well and stopped most leaks. The only, occasional, leaks I tended to experience with my baby were the overnight nappies. The inside of the nappies are lovely and soft, absorbing moisture well. The sides are elasticated well to fit snugly. I did decide to swap to 'Huggies' nappies, as my daughter was only 5lbs 14 oz and the huggies nappies seemed slightly smaller than the pampers. My choice to swap had nothing to do with the performance or quality of the pampers. Although pampers nappies are not the cheapest brand, I would recommend them for an 'average' or larger sized newborn baby, as they were a good quality...

Pampers New Baby 'Total Care' Nappies

Advantages: disposable well known brand
Disadvantages: harsh on babies bottom..For me an awful nappy

...I first used pampers nappies 15 years ago when i had my daughter and was pleased with the package i paid for.Yes they were the more expensive brand at the time but you knew what you were getting when you purchased them.They were the "gold " of the nappy variety back then..Soft to the touch very absorbant easy for the baby to wear. So i thought this time round when i had my son 5 months ago i thought i would go for the same product i trusted all those years ago. In a nut shell i wish i hadn't bothered admittedly they haven't gone up to much in price over the years but i am appalled at how they have gone in terms of there reliability. I bought about 5 packs of Pampers to get me by with my new arrival. I was like a child in a sweety shop as i opened my new pack of nappies ( sad i know ) here i was anticipating the soft luxurious...

Review of Pampers Nappies

Nice soft nappy liners, and environmentally-friendly

Advantages: Lovely and soft, big, seem to work quite well
Disadvantages: Soft texture snags on your hands. Not the cheapest.

...We decided to try these nappy liners having found them on eBay. We seem to be on a permanent mission to try to find the optimum nappy liners, and I have to say that I don't think the search is completely over yet... Just in case you're not sure why you'd need a nappy liner, you put one inside the reusable nappy with every nappy change. It catches the poo (hope you're not eating while surfing the internet!) and allegedly helps keep your baby feeling dry by letting the wee through and keeping it away from their skin - not sure how this actually works, but our son doesn't complain, so I guess it works somehow! These liners are both biodegradable and flushable. Now, I'm a big fan of biodegradable, but I'm less convinced about flushable. The only time we ever change our son in the toilet/bathroom is when we're out and about (in...

Review of Onelife Baby Nappy Liners

Super nappies!

Advantages: Good price, good fit, super absorbancy
Disadvantages: Quite thick, but this is for absorbancy

.... The sides of the nappy stretch so when my baby moves, the nappy moves with him. The nappy always stays in tact. Absorbancy The nappies have an extra, built in core to prevent leakages. So far, this has proven to be sucessful as we haven't had one leak. After a full night's sleep, the nappy is heavy, but the nappy has retained all the liquid. The nappy is quite thick - but this is for the leakage protection to work. Nappy design As previously mentioned the nappies are thicker than usual, but this prevents the leakages and retains more liquid. The nappies are green and white with either pictures of babies or animals on, and the active fit range are white and purple with an animal design. I am very happy with these nappies, and will continue to use them for as long as possible!...

Review of Asda Nappies

terry nappies, better for baby, cheaper for mum!

Advantages: economical, environmentally friendly
Disadvantages: more laundry

...With my first baby I laughed at the idea of terry nappies as old fashioned smelly and time consuming...at least at first. When I began to run out of cash before the end of my maternity leave wonderful grandma bought me a pack of terry nappies from Boots and I have been a convert ever since. The best waterproof covers I have found are Motherease, they are one size and so far no leaks. They cost about £7.50 each and have lasted for 3 children, you can get away with 3 as when rinsed they dry in a couple of hours. Using a flushable biodegradable liner (£1.50 for 250 from waitrose) the solids are flushed down the loo. Wet and rinsed soiled nappies are stored in a lidded bucket for up to 3 days then I rinse them in the machine, add the rest of the white "boil wash" load and wash with non-bio powder at 90C. 3 packs of six nappies costs...
