As I have three kids (currently aged 5, 3, and 4 months), I've changed a lot of nappies in the past half decade. I've learned something from being a parent. Not all nappies are created equal. (If you're confused at this point: in the UK it's a nappy; in the US it's a diaper.) You would think that once you found the right size it wouldn't matter, but actually there's a whole range of companies, and each company has different styles (baby dry, active fit, etc.).
As a member of a parenting club, we were given vouchers for Huggies newborn nappies. Normally I buy Pampers, but I figured it was worth using the vouchers and trying them out. Bad choice. I honestly can't believe how useless these nappies are.
Pretty much every time my baby wears one of these nappies, it leaks. If he does a poo (just one--we're not talking about prolonged wear here), it leaks out the legs, up the back, or up his tummy (or sometimes, very impressively, all three). If he does a big enough pee, the whole nappy just leaks. The wetness just kind of oozes through the nappy itself and he ends up soaked. If it sounds gross, that's because it is.
My advice? Even if you're given money off vouchers, it's worth the extra 50P to buy Pampers.
