Pampers Baby Dry
I am not a believer that only the branded and expensive items work. No matter what kind of item it is – be it clothing, footwear, or anything we use regularly at home, I tend to try the cheaper alternatives. Don’t get me wrong. I also have a number of expensive-ish items I use for myself and around the house (when the brand really matters). But I tend to give the cheaper alternatives a try.
When my son was born, I used the same ideology with his nappies. And we are lucky he is not allergic to the cheap own-brand range of Tesco – and we have been using it since he was born. Despite that, I also acknowledge that Tesco’s nappies are not made from high-quality materials. In fact, we may not have issues with it when my son was still a baby as he needed diaper changing almost every 2 hours. But when he got bigger and nappy-changing times got longer – we had to use Pampers Baby Dry when going out or for overnight use.
Unlike the Tesco nappy, Pampers doesn’t get soggy even if he’s been wearing it for at least 5 hours. Yes, you can see that it is wet but the technology applied to Pampers allow the nappies to keep intact and not reach his knees even when wet. I also noticed that the “microbeads” (or whatever it is that turns the wee into gel) doesn’t turn crumbly. Apart from that, Pampers also doesn’t leak from overnight use. We used to use Tesco before and we have had experienced a lot of times that his nappies leak around 5-6AM in the morning. And because of that, we have a grumpy little man since he usually wakes up around 7-7:30 AM.
Apart from that, we also notice that the leak guard does a great job making sure that his poop, even if a bit runny, keeps intact inside his nappy. Unlike the Tesco nappies, it doesn’t leak even if he has a stomach bug that turns his poop into a nasty runny thing.
Another positive thing I love about Pampers is the material used. Unlike Tesco’s, the Pampers seem to have breathable and thinner materials used. My son doesn’t seem bothered with it as well. Also, the fit is more snug and fit his tiny bum better. And even if he has been wearing the nappy for long, it doesn’t (or rarely) gets misplaced. Not unless he pulled it!
Overall, I am really content with Pampers Baby Dry. It is twice the amount of money I spend on Tesco’s nappies but since we are only using it when we know we will not change him so often (ie when we are outdoors or before going to bed), the amount of money we spend on it is worth it. I would rather have that than experience leaked nappies in the middle of the night prompting my son to wake up VERY early from bed, ugh!

Yes, people generally think that everything will be the same with ordinary items and branded items. They can not differentiate between the material used, type of material, the finishing, the look, and the advantages the branded items have over the local items. Always it should be remembered that a branded item is one : which maintains certain standards. They maintain the quality of the material used. The finishing will be excellent and the thread used for making the items like Pampers will be of good quality thread. The elastic used will be good and will be anti-allergic. They always keep in mind the durability and comfort of using the item.
People generally think that the price of the branded items will be more. Yes. It should be. Otherwise, how can he pay the salaries of the staff and workers? What about the maintenance cost? How about the taxes he should pay? They make items employing many workers. They contribute to the employment of educated.They pay taxes which will be an income to the Government. So when a company manufacturing a branded item is paying taxes and providing employment to the people why can't they fix the price of their item more? It is quite natural. Moreover,they have to compete with other brands also meeting all these challenges.
So it is always good to go for branded items. But, it does not mean that we should not encourage the young entrepreneurs. They should be encouraged but not at the cost of branded companies. They must be forced to compete with branded companies doing hard work and following the rules and regulations and ethics of Trade & Business.
Yes I agree with you. There are certain quality control put in place by companies such as Pampers but that doesn't mean that cheaper brand companies don't. They do but it compensates with the price they sell the product so they end up using lower grade (but still functional!) cheaper materials. As I've said, my son still uses the Tesco own brand range and use it more than Pampers. But we know that if we want something that works better, then we use Pampers.
Unlike the first time we raised our first born, diapers at that time are expensive. When our fifth child and last child was born, it is already considered cheap because of too many baby diapers available. Pampers is so popular in our place that when you buy a diaper you would say pamper. Seems like the pamper is considered a common noun and not already as brand.
LOL, now that you mention it - I think you're right. Similar to how some people address Colgate as a common noun for toothpaste and not the brand. I guess because Pampers really made a mark in terms of quality and a brand to trust when it comes to nappies - so they have earned this accomplishment.
Whoever came up with peppers did a very good thing for mother's all over the world. Home are the days when women had to use napkins as diapers for kids, and that came with huge challenges for women when it came to washing and changing. But now things have been made easier and faster. It's a brilliant idea who would go for napkins in this day and age of you are able to afford pampers.
I never thought Moms before had to use napkins for their kids! I can't imagine! Although at the time I was a baby, we used cloth diapers and my Mom would always tell me of the "tales" of washing them - especially the dirty ones, eek!
