  • I've found Tesco nappies to be quite good and not had too much trouble with leaks etc. It depends on the babies ages, but if there in size 3 or over I found the Tesco purple packs do fine, the active ones I think.

    Pampers are expensive but you could always look out for offers, sometimes these make them cheaper over Tesco.
  • thank you

    bumpin :)

    what about asda nappies?

  • Hi,

    Do You have an Aldi near by? they sell nappies called MAMIA these are made from pampers or part of the pampers ltd group if i remeember rightly

    Hope that helps
  • I prefer cloth :) But I seem to remember reading somewhere that tescos are really pampers in disguise. They worked fine for me when I did use them anyway, although they smelt very chemically.

    ETA and my baby fits in pampers better than huggies.
    I don't believe and I never did that two wrongs make a right

    I personally didnt think pampers were any good. I used tescos own when dd was teeny then i used lidls own until she was trained.
    Pampers and huggies always smelt funny to me and they both leaked
    TRYING hard to be a good money saver :rolleyes:

    morrisons wn were very good that i remember
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

  • Lidl nappies are fab.

    They are just like any other nappy, not plasticky like many people think.

    They cost £5ish for a big bag, either 56, 50 or 44 depening on size.

    I like my Pampers, they seem less bulky. Tried tesco value lol, still have a few lurking, can't seem to use them up. But now I have three huge bags of tesco purples courtesy of MIL and though I prefer pampers I guess I'd better get converted for the near future. But they do seem stiffer, although maybe less leaky.
    Did not like Toujours from Lidl and used Sainsburys own when J was a pup. Oooh, and huggies were the softest for newborn I thought.
    How complicated can this be?
    Price-wise, there are plently of offers on all the time, unless you're going value, the prices are similar.
    :wall:
  • Aldi's mamia ones are great, I use them on my 2yr old. Also the lidl ones are good too. Much better than tesco ones I find. Ex pamper and Huggies user now unless they are on a spectacular offer. Aldi wipes are good too.
