Disposables - Which do you prefer and why

I usually buy what's on special. Im lucky my DS has been fine with all kinds of nappies, they have all fit, never any leaks.

I love huggies nappies but only buy them on special as they are pretty expensive. I found select nappies to smell quite a bit but they did the job.

Ive also used pams which are fine, Drykids nappies from babies.co.nz which were good, and have used babylove which are ok.

One problem I have had is with treasures- I bought a box of 80 nappies and probably about 10 nappies had problems with the tabs, some didn't have the tab at all on one side, some the tab ripped off. I thought it was just a one off so bought them again when they were on special and had the same problem! So I won't be buying those again. Thought it was just me, but Mum had the same problem using them on DS one day.

I usually bulk buy whatever's on special.

I have not tried Pampers, but apparently they do sell trial packs. They're not that cheap though, but you do get to choose whichever styles you want.

Little N we had the same problem but didn't do anything but I know others who've rung up and got a free pack.

I did struggle finding infant sized nappies - huggies don't do a jumbo box and Pak n Save don't stock babylove infant sized nappies.
Now DD is moving into crawler it's not so bad.
I only ever buy nappies on special huggies are on sale at countdown every other week
I've had problems with treasures tabs as well. Might talk to them about that.

Good to know Im not imagining the tabs thing with treasures!

With wipes I have found huggies wipes are nice but signature range/select, silk and pams wipes are just as good they just don't have the little teddies or whatever imprinted on them hehe, when I am tempted to buy something pricy I just remind myself what they are used for hahaha usually gives me a reality check about the extra dollar or two I need to spend to get the nicer ones.
