Product reviews: Pampers Baby Dry disposable diapers

I have been using Pampers Baby Dry since my son was around 5 months old, and I think they have let me down on just 3 occasions, which is pretty good going considering he is now 16 months old! He has progressed to Size 5 now, which is why I am putting my review in this size category, although I think all of the nappies are the same standard and quality, whatever size they are.

*Pampers*
Pampers nappies have been around since 1961, making them 46 years old. They began with pins in the sides instead of sticky tabs, which were not introduced until the 1970's. The 80's saw the biggest change of Pampers, with the nappies being made thinner, elasticated around the legs, and sticky tapes which could be moved many times without ruining the nappy, and the nappy weight was decreased by 50%. The 90's saw gender specific nappies by Pampers, pink for girls and blue for boys but Pampers returned to Unisex nappies again at the end of the decade. Pampers standards have remained the same since then, and they have kept improving the nappies with the additions of a sleep Layer, and Caterpillar flex, which I will go into more detail about a little further on.

*Pampers Baby Dry*
Pampers Baby Dry have changed a couple of time in the relatively short time I have been using them so I will do the review with the most modern additions included in the review. They are available in different packet options; a carry pack contains 30 nappies, and costs around 5.98, and an economy pack has 54 nappies and costs 8.98, although most supermarkets have offers on the nappies i.e. Buy 2 Economy Packs for 16, saving you 2. You can also buy them in Jumbo Value Packs, but I am unsure of the price of these, I think it is around 11.99 but don't quote me on that! The box contains around 75 nappies.

The packaging is very different to the one shown on Ciao, and is much more modern! It is still the same shade of green, but the logo has changed very much. It is now written in white lettering on the green background, and with a yellow heart above the word Pampers. There is a picture of baby on the front, with the size in the bottom left corner of the packet. The size block is a different colour according to the size of the nappy, the colours are dark green for mini (2)orange for midi (3), red for maxi (4), purple for maxi+ (4+), blue for junior (5), dark blue for Junior+ (5++) and green for extra large (6). The baby dry logo is also located underneath the Pampers name in a maroor coloured setting, with yellow writing.
