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...

Review of Terry Nappies

Super nappies!

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

...I have used many different types of nappy on my son, and found these to be the best by far. These are the Little Angel's Nappy - sold exclusively at Asda superstores, and Asda Living. Pricing These nappies cost £3.97 for 32 nappies. This is a lot less cheaper than other brands, and they contain more nappies per pack. You can also have the chance to buy 3 packs for £10.00, therefore saving lots of money on something which is a must not a want! Examples of other nappies are as follows based on prices from Boots: Boots Own Brand - £3.99 (32 in pack) Pampers - £3.79 (18 in pack) As you can see, own brands are almost identical in price, and known brands are more expensive as you are paying for less nappies. Fit Throughout the sizes, these have fit perfectly. On the leg area we haven't had any red marks or sores...

Review of Asda Nappies

The best nappy by far!

Advantages: Extra absorbencey, value for money, comfort.
Disadvantages: Can only find these in Asda!!!!

...Why be a nappy snob? I've found that you are expected to use either Pampers or Huggies nappies, and in my experience these result in a leakage 1/3 times. I was converted to Asda nappies (Little Angels NOT Smartprice!) after a friend gave me 5 of her sons to try out on my son after i complained of my son constantly weeing up his back whilst using Pampers. COST: These nappies cost £3.97 per pack (of 32). Other brands can be up to a £1 more for the same, or even less nappies. They can also be found on special offer of 3 packs for £10.00 - the saving on this is massive compared to all other brands. And as they are constantly on offer, you don't have to buy in bulk. If need be, you can also buy bumper packs. I prefer to stick to the £10.00 deal! ABSORBANCY AND FIT As previously stated, I started using these nappies as was...

Down with swollen nappies

Advantages: Do what they're supposed to, don't leak, don't swell up, cute designs
Disadvantages: Not as cheap as buying washable swim pants, not very green

...What are Huggies Little Swimmers? Huggies Little Swimmers are disposable swim pants that are designed for babies and toddlers to wear when they are swimming or in the water. And what is the point of them? Can't they just go nude or wear a regular nappy? As we all know children that aren't potty trained will poo and wee anywhere they fancy, including swimming pools. This could distress everybody else in the pool, be upsetting for your child, embarrasing for you and generally quite messy and unhygienic. When regular nappies go in water they swell up really big and become very heavy. After too much water pressure nappies usually split open and cause a huge mess too. I learnt this the hard way! Most (or all) swimming pools gives the thumbs up to Huggies Little Swimmers. What do they look like? How do I put them on? They are...

Review of Huggies Little Swimmers Nappies

Tesco Nappies in General

Advantages: Cheap, Adequate Designs
Disadvantages: Some Kinds Leak

...I have to start by saying that I've had somewhat of a turn-around in opinion regarding Tesco Nappies of late. Previously I was the first to jump in raving about how "blooming useless" they all were. However I recently realised that it's because of the type of nappy I'd previously tried and have discovered a perfectly good alternative in recent weeks. I first used Tesco nappies when my son was a newborn and found them acceptable for use during the day but problematic at night. I put my son in reusables from a couple of weeks old so I happily went and paid a premium to use Huggies super dry for bedtimes (the reusables didn't last the night either). Later on I ditched the reusables having found them to be no cheaper than disposables whilst being three times the work. I also found my son struggled to get mobile with a reusable on...

An Organic Experience

Advantages: Fairtrade, Organic
Disadvantages: Horrible After-taste, Leaves You Feeling Thirsty

...When I wake up in the morning I can't fully function until I have had at least a couple of cups of tea inside me, so imagine my excitement therefore when this week's Product Of The Week was announced to be Co-op Fairtrade Organic Tea Bags. Throughout the day I will intake countless mugs of tea, and after last week's disaster of a product, it was great to see that this week would see me writing about something I would potentially enjoy very much. This weeks purchase would involve a trip down to the local Co-Op, so off I went on my way to pick up the 80 teabags which I swiftly found labelled at a price of £1.95. I thought this was rather expensive for 80 teabags, however given that the product is both Organic and Fairtrade, I was more than happy to part with my money for the box of teabags. The fact that these particular tea bags are...

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

Nappies nappies everywhere

Advantages: Good value, absorbent
Disadvantages: none really

...I was recently given som tesco bay essential nappies to try and i have to say i was more than a little sceptical about them. I have always been a pampers fan and seeing nothing wrong with them saw no point in changing. However i thought i would give the tesco ones a go. They cost around £6.79 for a pack of 56 which is the biggest pack size I have seen, I dont think they do a jumbo value box or anything like that. I opened the packet and was not blown away by the feel of them at first as compared to the active fit nappies they had a slightly shiny plasticky feel to them however I later discovered an advantage to this. I put the first one on my little lad and the first thing I noticed is they are slightly tricky to put on if you have been used to the pampers caterpillar flex as there is no give in the side tabs of the nappies. Once...

It consists of a large plastic bin style object (with a lid) that contains a roll/cassette of scented plastic. The Scented plastic wraps you nappies when you place them in the wrapper.

Review of Sangenic Nappy Wrapper

A Taste of Eden ~ Organic Freshly Cold Pressed

Advantages: Mild, rich carrot-y taste, no artificial additives, cold pressed, rich in pro Vitamin A
Disadvantages: Refrigerate after opening, comes in glass bottle.

...If you like carrots and want to have a rich source of pro-Vitamin A (beta-carotene), I have just the answer to your longing. . . . . ♥ "Eden Organic Carrot Juice" ♥ The 750 ml bottle is clear glass, so you can see the bright orange carrot juice within. Occasionally you will find a thin layer of sediment and/or a red line along the top of the fluid level (usually when it is stored for a while). Neither of these is harmful, and will mix back in when you shake the bottle. Made from 99% organic carrots and 1% lemon juice, 100ml contains 28 KCals (119 KJ) and 115% RDA of vitamin A. It is pasteurised rather than having added preservatives, so some of the live enzymes may have been destroyed, but it is still rich in anti-oxidants, and it has not been chemically processed. . * The vacuum seal gives a satisfying POP...
