Advantages: you save money

Disadvantages: irritate your baby's skin and cause nappy rash

This new economy nappy that they have labelled "Simply Dry" is a cheaper version of the "baby dry" nappy and when you cut corners to make the production cheaper, then the quality of the product is bound to suffer - which I found out when I switched to the "Simply Dry" nappy.

I saw an advert on TV that Pampers Simply Dry Nappies were on offer in Morrison's for £5 for a big pack. "Fantastic", I thought and I went and bought 3 packets and was very happy that I'd made such a big saving.

Within 3 days my daughter developed a nappy rash. I didn't link this to the nappy at first and just used Sudacrem to treat it. A week later the nappy rash was so bad that I bought some Bepanthem but the next day I took her to the doctor.

Her nappy rash was so severe that it had turned into thrush and she was suffering from a bacterial infection caused by the ammonia in her urine. The "simply dry" nappy was not keeping her dry.

I compared the "simply dry" nappy to a "baby dry" nappy and the texture of the simply dry nappy is different. It's more coarse and rough and this had obviously irritated my daughter's skin.

I have now gone back to the baby dry nappy and it's taken over a week for my daughter to recover.

Thankfully Morrison's gave me a refund.

Don't buy these nappies. If you do buy the nappies then use a barrier cream to protect your baby's skin. If you are looking to save money then use the Tesco baby dry range. I trialled these for a market research company last year and they were just as good as Pampers Baby Dry.

Summary: A poor quality nappy and to save a few pounds its really not worth the buy.
