Hi all,

I applied to do some nappy reviews but didn’t get a response. I’ve decided to do not only a review but a comparison of the size 3 nappies that I’ve being using on my little bambini.

There are 4 nappies that I have put to the test. These include Lidl’s Lupilu, Pampers Dry, Pampers Pure and the Rascal and Friends ones that can be found at Tesco.

This is an honest review of my experiences with these nappies.

Firstly, the Lidl range of nappies are great! The designs aren’t as cute as some brands but who really looks at a babies nappy other than the person changing them? To me design doesn’t really matter but I know some people love a cute little fox cub print.

I have used sizes 1-3 in the lupilu nappy range and I have been happy with them. They have never leaked urine except for just before I moved her up from a size 2 to a size 3. She obviously just needed a bigger nappy. No leaks in size 3. They don’t even feel as heavy as some of the more premium brands when worn overnight. The only leaks I’ve had have been poopie leaks. It has never been around the legs, only up the back. However, this is a tough issue to resolve on a breast fed baby. I’d say that I have this issue with all the nappy brands I’ve tried.

The price of Lidl’s nappies are fantastic. I purchased a bumper pack of 98 for £4.39. That’s less than 4p per nappy! When on maternity pay you need all the bargains you can find!

The next nappy I tried was the Pampers Dry. These have beautiful little designs on them, for those that are interested. They don’t feel as soft as the Lupilu nappies and the feathering around the legs are very small. I prefer a larger feathering for the ease of pulling it out of the elastic. She did have a few poopie leaks around the legs with the Pampers Dry. There was also two urine leaks. The wee leaks only occurred overnight though. They tend to feel moderately heavy in the mornings.

Despite this nappy been the same size as the others in this review, it felt significantly smaller and she will outgrow this brand before the others.

The pampers dry was purchased on an offer. Most supermarkets currently have the 3 packs for £15 on this brand of nappy. You get 50 per pack so that works out at 10p per nappy. Without the offer these packs retail at £7.

Now onto a more premium brand of nappy, the Pampers Pure range. There are millions of reviews on this nappy. The huge marketing push by pampers have sent these reviews viral on social media. Are they as great as the reviews say they are? I put them to the test!

The packaging and the nappy feels and looks like a more premium brand and that is exactly what they are. They have the best designs and are incredibly soft.

Leakage wise, I’ve only had a couple of poopie leaks up the back but again it is to be expected in a breastfed baby from time to time.

My only issue with this nappy is that after been worn over night, they do feel incredibly heavy and drop with a bit of a thud when you throw them in the bin! They are super soft though and despite the heaviness, my baby doesn’t seem too bothered by the weight.

Price is an issue with this nappy. You pay £7 for a pack of only 31 nappies. That’s about 23p per nappy. They are a good nappy but certainly too expensive for the long term. To be honest I don’t think they are worth the money. I would purchase these over the Pampers dry though.

The last on my list are the Rascal and Friends nappies. These can only be found at Tesco. When I first opened the pack they certainly are different in design and feel like a premium nappy. I was amazed at the quality of these! They have a great design. The bast part for me is that the back of the nappy has an elasticated section in an attempt to stop those poopie leaks.

The size of the nappy felt quite big. Although my little one fits in size 3’s, this nappy feels like a size 4. At one point the elasticated section around the bum/leg had migrated over and was sitting between her bum cheeks! It’s a good job I noticed before she had an accident!

The nappy doesn’t feel heavy when worn overnight. However, this could be because it’s a large nappy.

these nappies retail at £8 for 44 or 18p per nappy.

When my little one grows into these, I reckon that I would prefer these over the Pampers Pure. For now though, the pures get my vote for the best premium nappy as they fit her better at the moment.

In summary, my ultimate favourite nappy has to be Lidl’s Lupilu’s. they are a brilliant nappy brand at an astonishingly great price. My favourite premium brand as I said are the Pampers Pure. However, the pampers just aren’t that much better considering the huge price different from the Lupilu. Honestly, don’t buy into all the marketing of premium brands. Lupilu nappies are great. My little lovely hasn’t had one case of nappy rash since being born 6 months ago and for the majority of the time I’ve used the Lidl nappies. I’ve probably saved enough to buy her extra toys as well. Happy mummy and happy baby!
