I've used both, I started with pampers and loved them - ALL NAPPIES LEAK! All of them, Huggies is being discontinued so you might aswell get used to another

I LOVE the supermarket brands, cheaper always on offer like half the price

Baby wipes - I use pampers or sainsburys I love I HATED the Huggies ones far too rough

- also pull ups are cheaper and I wish I used them from 5/6 months onwards only just switched now and my baby is 14months!

But depends what you like - everyone is different its best to get afew to see

Save yourself money and buy supermarket own! We've used a lot of different brands and honestly I cannot tell the difference. 'Just for bums' from Kiddicare are good mainly because they come in bulk and you can send them back if you don't use them all, great for convenience but we're now using Sainsbury's own and they're just as good.

There are no Huggies nappies now! Withdrawn over Europe so they can concentrate on wipes. However I used to swear by Huggies finding them softer than pampers for my now 6 yr old son. But with my baby daughter I have to say supermarket nappies much better than used to be so now use them or else Naty (also much Improved in 6 years) if they're on special.


Also can I just say how great Jackson Reece kinder by nature wipes are. I find myself raving in the street about them to complete strangers given half a chance. I stock up,when a third off in Sainsbury's as quite expensive - 2 quid a pack! But great on delicate skin and very moist. I think their branding is a bit off and the bright colours may put people off - look very artificial when in fact the opposite is true. Ok advertorial over. But like I said I'm a big fan.

Superdrug and Boots own brand nappies are also pretty good. Can you still get Huggies?


I also use wraps over disposables to catch any leaks. Reusable nappies are generally much better than disposables if you can keep up with the washing.

Sometimes the big boxes of pampers (100+ nappies) are cheaper per nappy from amazon than supermarket own brands. Probably worth only getting these once your baby is a bit bigger and the weight range for the nappies is greater, so you are not left with loads of nappies that are too small.


Also, if you find cheaper brands leak overnight, as the nappy was not being changed for 12h (which I did with my son), then you can use them for the day & use pampers at night. If you do find nappies are leaking frequently then it may also mean you need to go up a size.

With my 8 week old girl we've had the following experiences:

Huggies

Given some Huggies by a friend - loved them so bought more at Costco - AWFUL - leak, can't hold in the smaller poos - then realised they were American which makes sense as knew Huggies being discontinued in Europe.


Sainsbury's own

Similar to Huggies - didn't contain things and find the nappy gets squashed between the legs causing a lump and meaning more likely to leak (US Huggies did similar).


Pampers

Unfortunately love these the most - contain even the most explosive poos (as long as you change soon after) and the colour changing strip is so useful (yellow at start, goes green when nappy is wet).


I'd buy a small pack of each you want to try and see what works for you - then go bulk either Amazon, CostCo or shop offers. Note - you can join Amazon Family for 3 months and you get Amazon Prime free for those 3 months - (just make a note in your diary to cancel the Prime in 3 months or they'll automatically take your money to put on you Prime going forward). Means you get free next day delivery on most items.

Amazon have some nappy offers at the moment. Recently I got a good offer on Pampers in Tesco but I think Amazon have just beaten it by a long shot!! ;o(

I actually think Huggies are far better than pampers. You can still get them but mainly online. I found pampers dreadful. The orange ones were slighly better than Baby Dry but still not great. Naty and Sainsburys are also good. Kiddiecare ones gave my daughter a rash.

We've used Sainsburys Eco for my daughter mostly, but use Pampers at night (baby dry or active fit once she was in the size) as they're more leak proof. Not had many explosive poos except for a period when she was just sitting and we hadn't cottoned onto her ability to poo without making as much noise as when she was lying down! What's worked for us is keeping her in the larger size for her weight - so she's in 4+ now even though she's within the weight for 4s as I find it just covers her bum better and also holds onto any excess poo.


Ultimately you don't know how sensitive your baby is going to be - whether she'll react to different nappies or not so you can't be certain which will work for you. I'd also recommend using water and cotton pads to wipe down after using wipes even after the newborn stage. I don't know if we've been lucky viz nappy rashes thus far or if using water the majority of the time has helped keep it at bay. Ultimately the wipes are full of chemicals even if they're "sensitive" or "newborn" ones.


Good luck with everything!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
