Boots own Super Dry nappies...

[Funkstar]

... are the work of Satan himself!

We have a small pack that were bought just in case they were needed one day, and we finally needed them today. Charlie girl has just woken up crying because of the really bad nappy rash they have given her. In fact I wouldn't call it nappy rash, more like they are burning her and making blisters. Really horrible. Fortunately I had a couple of Pampers or something spare in the car, I really need to get to Tesco tomorrow to stock up on decent ones again.

I need to go exploring to find the nearest store with Jackson Reece wipes. There is a Superdrug about 10 miles away, just depends how big it is I guess.

Don't buy those pampers 'value' ones either (or whatever they're called) they're worse than useless. We found own brand ones were good for the day, pampers at night. Works out cheaper to no ill effect

Sorry to hear that. Liberal smear of methionine(?) may be in order.

Tesco own brand are okay and quite cheap and not bad at all. We usually just get whats on special; sainsburies at t hemoment but we're using size 5.

[Funkstar]

Yeah, not had a problem with any of the other own brands in the past, the usual is Huggies thought. I can't remember if it's 5+ or 6 we are on.

Choosing your brand of nappies and wipes is as personal as choosing your brand of beer or cigarettes

Personally I'm Pampers all the way !

[Funkstar]

Pampers are fine, just not the pull ups, had far more leakages from them than anything else.

As for wipes, that's a whole other discussion

I'm not allowed to buy Pampers of Huggies wipes, even if they are on a crazy special offer, Sainsbury's, Tesco or ASDA own brand is just fine, or Jackson Reece if they are on special, we are feeling flush or Charlie girl needs a little spoiling.

You should try them, they are amazing!

I am afraid to say Holly is a Pampers girl as well we use the "Baby Dry" ones and have had no nappy rash at all and it has been over a year (She is size 4+). Generally I try to buy them when they are on 2 for 1 or discount from Sainsbury's. We tried others when we started by found they didn't fit her so well and leaked. As for wipes we have had no problem with the sainsbury's own brand ones.

Huggies nappies for all our kids. Pampers just don't have the capacity - especially at night time - and we've always had more problems with nappy rash with the Pampers.

I'll keep my eyes open for those Jackson Reese wipes - personally despise the Pampers ones and all of the own brand types. Thin, prone to ripping, and bunch up something chronic when it gets messy. Huggies are thick, with an almost cloth finish - very substantial and make short work of just about any situation. Typically buy them from Asda when they're a £1 a pack (or on BOGOF). Fill the house with the damn things....

I tend to try and use any remaining clean patches on the expended nappy to clean up as much mess as possible before venturing forward for the final buff. We use supermarket own brands; tesco has them cheap.

I'm not that pleased with any of them and try to aerate as long as possible to let the area dry out afterwards. Sometime it can backfire though!

Well after jumping to conclusions last night, it turns out it's Hand Foot and Mouth (not the same as the cows get).

She's been feeling really sorry for herself today, and has been super huggy all day.

[oolon]

What hand foot and mouth? I had visions on piles of burning babies for a moment then... not good.

She has it on her bum pretty bad, but only very slightly elsewhere. She probably picked it up at the nursery or the coffee mornings she was at last week.

[SuicidaL]

never used them. it was pampers/huggies with jack. but towards the end of nappies started using asds's little angels ones and they were for an own brand very good. now only use the pull ups at night and just has his shredies on during the day.........................but got it all to come again
