Be Pampered

Advantages: Everything from being pampered to pure relaxation.
Disadvantages: Can be difficult to get the rooms at cheap rates due to popularity.

...Whenever I felt like being pampered and willed myself that I needed a good day's out in London, I had always convinced myself that I should stay at the Dolphin Square Hotel. What is so special about the Dolphin? Nothing really. From the outside, it looks like any old building built in the 1960s. The hotel spans an entire block in the Chichester Square area. It is very close to the Thames; really just one road away, that is if you can cross it without being ran over by a speeding vehicle. I found the hotel while looking for a reasonable priced but comfortable place to stay in London for some visiting friends. First, I didn't want a small B&B because the rooms would be very tiny, plus I wanted somewhere close to Central London and near an underground station. Of course, nothing too expensive. Dolphin is situated near the Pimlico...

pamper me up

Advantages: soft, soft, soft on my babies bum
Disadvantages: the liquids they contain after a nappy change

...PRODUCT Pampers baby dry are nappies for babies. They come in the following sizes: 3 midi - for babies weighing 4-9 Kg or 9-20 Lbs 4 maxi - for babies weighing 7-20Kg or 15-44 Lbs 4+Maxi plus- for babies weighing 9-20Kgs or 20-44Lbs 5 Junior - for babies weighing 11-25Kgs or 24-55 Lbs 5+ Junior - for babies weighing 13-27Kgs or 29-59 Lbs Babies that weigh less than 9 lbs can use the pampers newborn. QUALITY Pampers are a well known brand for good quality and many parents have used them in the past. The nappy comes with the sticky tabs on the back and they fasten round the babies tummy. On the baby dry nappies the picture on the front of the nappy is a caterpillar. This is good as it's easy to see which side is the front- it can be difficult to know which way round the nappy does when...

Pampering the chef

Advantages: You get lunch - and I don't cook it
Disadvantages: Its Party Plan

...you want to order and complete your form, before lunch is served and you all get to chat. Simple but effective. The products are very good and very normal, which makes the parties so successful. They have a range of stoneware which I find really good, I don?t know if its just me being incapable of looking after things properly but I get through non stick baking trays like there is no tomorrow, the fact that I have always bought cheap ones probably hasn?t helped but in no time at all they seem to loose their non stick and then starts the battle against the rust. The pampered chef have a range of cookery stones that you use instead of baking trays and you oil them the first couple of times then they absorb oil so become naturally non stick and have completely solved my problem. They are great for Pizza as well. They have the usual...

Pamper your baby's bum with Pampers

Advantages: Reliable nappies, frequently on promotion
Disadvantages: None, providing you shop around for offers

...Having just come too close for comfort to a leaky poo-filled nappy with my youngest son, I felt compelled to review the brand I've been using. Not, as you might expect, to have a rant about the poor quality but to confirm that this is (thankfully) such a rare occurance with Pampers Baby Dry Nappies that they are worthy of praise indeed! Nappy manufacturers aren't stupid people and they know that parents are likely to remain loyal to one particular brand if they are proven to be reliable and good value for money from the early days of nappy use. It is this reason (and not that they are particularly generous, kind individuals) that they bombard new parents and expectant mums-to-be with free nappy samples and money off coupons. Make sure you sign up to the Pampers baby club online to make the most of the freebies! This is a very...

Pampers Nappys

Advantages: Keeps baby dry
Disadvantages: Can be expensive compared to other brands

...These are really brillant Nappys I find that my son can stay dry up to 12 hours ( overnight) without them leaking. so really good if you dont want to keep changing nappies every hour or so or even have baby waking up because of a wet nappy The nappys are reaaly good at absorbing moisture away from babys skin so no nappy rash with these nappys They are also excellent for staying up - My son is now a active toddler that runs around everywhere and they are just what he needs. The nappys fit around my sons legs perfect with no chafting or rubbing to the skin which is brillant. I would recommend these nappys and have tried and tested a few brands on my son and have found Pampers to be one of the best...

Review of Pampers Nappies

Pampers for happy bums and happy mums

Advantages: Absorb well, non-leak, fit well, easy to fasten, range of different sizes
Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive than most other brands

...In my experience Pampers are the best nappies on the market. I first started using Pampers nappies when I was brought numerous packs of Newborn Pampers during my pregnancy, and never looked back. Once my baby had outgrown newborn nappies I moved onto Pampers Baby Dry and then on to Pampers Easy Ups (I won't be including Easy Up's in this review as they aren't strictly classed as nappies). Unlike some other nappies I have tried, Pampers don't leak. Not even after a long night or an extra runny poo! They absorb well and my babys skin was never wet when I changed her, even if her nappy was heavy. My baby never had bad nappy rash either. The nappies are really breathable which means her skin never got too sticky and moist. They are very stretchy and elastic around the legs which meant I didn't have to worry about them rubbing...

Review of Pampers Nappies

Pampers Naturals: Wipes for Ruby-Lu's bottom.

Advantages: Lightly scented, nice & moist, good packet, no rashing or irritation occurred.
Disadvantages: Overpriced when not on offer, lots of wipes come out together.

...sick or had a particularly dirty nappy change and it's in danger of going on the mat or my leg or something similar so I'm normally frantically trying to get her cleaned up and prevent further mess (I'm still relatively new to her disgustingly runny pooh!). Ruby unfortunately suffers from eczema and has had this since birth but she did not have any particular reaction to these wipes and no spots or rashes occurred when using these in conjunction with Pampers Baby-Dry Size 3 (see previous review if interested). They are lightly scented with lavender and it's not overwhelming and these do not foam or anything when using them so that's great. I think that the standard price is quite expensive for what these are as I found the Tesco Ultra Soft Wipes (light green packet) to be better and these are over half price for more wipes. I would...

Review of Pampers Naturals

Pampers sensitive wipes

Advantages: Soft and strong
Disadvantages: Not wet enough for me.

...water. My opinion The wipes do feel very thick and soft and are slightly moist. They smell clean and fresh. I found that with my daughter being two, her poo is solid and they did not seem to clean her bum as well as Johnsons wipes. I think this could be because they are not wet enough. It was taking 3 to 4 Pampers wipes to get her bottom properly clean where Johnsons only need two. I must add that due to my daughters sometimes none existant bowel movements, sometimes not going for 5 days, she is on a mild laxitive to ensure regular bowel movements, this does in turn slightly soften her poo. The wipes do come out of the packet very easily and in singles unlike Johnsons which sometimes come out in 3's or 4's. This could be because the opening of the pampers packet is bigger than on the Johnsons pack. The wipes also fall back...

Review of Pampers Baby Dry

Advantages: Thin, abosrbent, does a great job, no leaks
Disadvantages: Quite Expensive

...I have been using Pampers Baby Dry since my son was around 5 months old, and I think they have let me down on just 3 occasions, which is pretty good going considering he is now 16 months old! *Pampers* Pampers nappies have been around since 1961, making them 46 years old. They began with pins in the sides instead of sticky tabs, which were not introduced until the 1970's. The 80's saw the biggest change of Pampers, with the nappies being made thinner, elasticated around the legs, and sticky tapes which could be moved many times without ruining the nappy, and the nappy weight was decreased by 50%. The 90's saw gender specific nappies by Pampers, pink for girls and blue for boys but Pampers returned to Unisex nappies again at the end of the decade. Pampers standards have remained the same since then, and they have kept improving...

Review of Pampers Nappies

Pampers Nappies

Advantages: Lots of varieties
Disadvantages: They dont come with odor control

...? ************************** I like many mothers have found Pampers excellent for absorbing wee and poo (new baby nappies have special little holes to let the soft poo through) sometimes after my son has drank god knows how much pop and milk all day and then had a nappy on for 10 hours through the night, you can imagine how wet he is in the morning. His nappy is always really squidgy where the wee has turned to gel. This may feel and sound disgusting! the nappy may be soaked but, and yes there always is a but! his skin is always dry. I have only ever experienced one or two leaks in my time with using pampers and they were probably down to me putting the nappy on back to front or something! PREEMIE ******* I have only ever seen these once in Mothercare, they aren't advertised on their website. All I know about these is that they are for very premature...
