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 Withdrawn over Europe so they can concentrate on wipes.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!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
