Pampers Active Fit

We tried many brands of nappies including Pampers Baby Dry and Simply Dry. Active Fit 5+ is the only nappy that keeps my son dry at night. They do smell chemically but this is a small price to pay for a happy baby. They do have chemicals that turn into gell in them after all. I have read a lot of poor reviews about these nappies but babies are all shaped differently. It took over 20 months before we found our perfect nappy. I hope these work for you.

We've used pampers up until now on our baby boy, although there was a 3 week period in Australia where we had to use Huggies. If we could we would still be using Huggies as the alternative is Pampers Active Fit. Size 4 have been awful for our baby. They leak at the sides. At first I thought it was the way I was fitting them to my boy, but my wife has experienced them leaking too. I also see plenty of reviews to back this up. They've now been a contributing factor to many a soiled/ruined garment.

I have a 5 months old baby and because he is very active we have bought lots of Active Fit. They are not good, they leak even with only one poop. Nearly always on the sides so it stains the vests, others it goes all over the backs. It is awful!! Now he is starting to develop a rash as well. We have got lots of them and I just do not use them any more. They're supposed to keep the babies dry, instead any signs of anything - just rushing to change him!! Not good!!

I had previously tried Pampers Active Fit when my baby was younger but was not that impressed, having experienced some leaks. Now he is 10 months old and very active, I have tried them again and I am very impressed. They are far superior to the Baby Dry, keeping him dry much longer. They are expensive, but worth buying on offer or combined with any money off vouchers!

My 5 month old son has an extremely sore bottom at present and absolutely screams whenever I change him. He can't sit down or lie on his back if his bottom is in contact with the floor. I hope it clears up quickly now I have changed brands. They should be removed from the market, and looking at the comments above it seems that I am not the only one with this opinion!

My son is only a year old so I have never used the "old" version of these nappies but I bought them as he's an active boy and thought they would be a better choice for him. However, the first time he wore them, within about half a day he had developed terrible nappy rash with broken skin and he was really upset with the pain. As soon as i stopped using the Active fit nappies and applied cream the rash cleared up very quickly. I switched back to Pampers baby dry which to be fair is fine for him. I decided to try the Active Fit again just in case the nappy rash wasn't down to these nappies and it flared up again almost straight away.

The nappies do have a very strong plasticky chemical smell and I certainly won't try them again.

These nappies are terrible, even after they have improved them.

They leak terrible, you can smell urine

terrible and not worth the money, these nappies should be withdrawn from sale.

I used to love these before they changed the design, but the new ones are just appalling! Clothes and bedding are frequently wet, even after an hours nap and we are back to nappy changes in the middle of the night too (for the first time in about 9 months!)

Do not buy them, they are expensive, probably the worst nappies on the market and a total waste of money

(If i could have rated these as 0 stars, i would have but 1 star is the lowest possible rating)

wot a load of rubbish. do not use these nappy waste of time. they leak. they expand after just one wee. never buy these again.

I am really disappointed, as it seems are many others, with the 'new' active fit nappies by pampers. I originally changed to Pampers as my baby had a reaction to the Huggies nappies we had been using (I had no other complaints about these nappies though and would recommend the Huggies baby nappies). I found the Pampers nappy to have more of a 'smell' about them than the Huggies - even before they were put on - but they worked well and that was more important.

I had never had any leaks with the previous Active Fit nappies which I used all the time. However, my baby has constantly woken up wet and had leaks during the day. I know it is not me putting the nappy on badly as I never had this problem before, and I have always changed my baby very regularly!!

Having found a nappy that I knew my baby did not have a reaction to, and that worked well, I am extremely disappointed that pampers have messed about with a product that had worked well. To me it seems that the lining is thinner towards the back of the nappy and this is not helping with absorbancy.

Having experienced a nappy that works well in all areas - easy to put on, good absorbancy, nice design, etc I can honestly say that these Active Fit nappies no longer meet all of the criteria, and I shall not be purchasing them any longer!
