    I've not used them myself, first baby on the way but I do know they've won the which award for best happy so they can't be that bad!

    We've used both. Much prefer Aldi's, they're a lot softer and don't have the smell that pampers do. Asda are also good.

    Just swapped from pampers to aldi and will be swapping back to pampers once we've used up the aldi ones. In our experience, they've leaked and come apart...not impressed.

    We used Pampers (and were given quite a few packs as gifts) for our daughter and they were the worst nappies we had ever used.

    We were constantly changing her as the Pampers just weren't absorbent enough and she would quickly soak through the nappy and then her clothes.

    Asda's Little Angels nappies are by far and away the best that we have used - they never ever leaked on us and fitted really well. No more extra washing!

    We love Aldi nappies. We tried pampers and sainsburys as well, but Aldi's were by far the best. Much cheaper too!

    I think nappies depend on the child as much as anything. With my 2 girls I used Pampers all the time. With DS I found (through trial and error) Asda's own nappies (little angels I think) were the only ones that didn't leak. I think it was because he was long and skinny so the same shape of nappy didn't fit him right.

    I've used both and had no problems with Aldi but prefer pampers as I think they're slightly more absorbent. However with the Aldi baby event on tomorrow I'll get some more of theirs. I hated the Asda ones and haven't tried any others.

    We love Asda Little Angels :) much better than Pampers, don't have that really weird smell, we used cloth nappies for a long time so I'm really sensitive to the chemical smell. 3 packs for £12 at the moment, absolute bargain.

    We tend to use the pull-up pants now (easier to get an escaping larger baby into) but I much prefer the Aldi ones to Pampers. Keep putting my finger through the elasticated bit on the Pampers, plus with one child in size 6 and one in size 5 - the numbers on the Pampers are so blooming small you can't tell what size you're putting on!

    Found them all much of a muchness really to be honest (with two kids and under a year gap between them I've used a lot of nappies) - Tesco, Kiddicare, Asda, Aldi - tend to swap between all of them and prefer them slightly over Pampers. Huggies were OK but discontinued.
