Review: Moony Japanese nappy pants

I have heard before about Japanese nappies from my cousin who used to order them in bulk for her twins from a Russian supplier in Moscow. She has always highly recommended them and once have tried competitive brands would come back to the original choice. 
Knowing how good they are I attempted to find similar brands here in the UK and came across Japanese nappies website with a variety of Japanese branded nappies.

                                                 
Japanese nappies have kindly provided a pack of 44 Moony pull ups  worth £22.50 for us to try. When I have received the review pack I didn't know if it's usual nappies or pull ups but upon investigating the packaging and it's content I was extremely excited to find out that we have received pull ups. We have been using nappy pants for 6 months or so as I found out that with wriggly L is is much more convenient to put them on and off rather than to pin her down.

Main features:

- Nappy pants are made ​​of a thin and safe natural absorbent material

- Soft "breathable" surface, is very delicate and safe for baby's skin
- Hypoallergenic 

- Soft, stretchy material for active babies

- Suitable for sensitive skin

- "Net" fabric around the thighs is snug for the extra protection from leaks

- 5 Winnie the Pooh designs

- Adhesive tape for easy disposal

- Tear down sides

- Colour strips change from yellow to blue once the nappy is full (applicable for wee only)

- Comes in a variety of sizes from newborn (0-5kg) to big (12-17kg)

We have opened a pack a week ago and since then have been testing them during the day. They seem to fit very well and are more stretchy in tummy area than other competitive brands. And not just that the net fabric around thigh area looks very snug and prefent any wee or poo leakages.

I didn't notice any red marks on a tummy or around legs which indicates that they are not just soft but perfect fit for L. 

I didn't put them to test during night though as on few occasions I have noticed that nappies fill up really quickly and need changing ever 3-5 hours, which meant they are more suitable for L during the day.

Tearing the sides away was a little bit of a mission when L had soiled nappies but instead of holding her in my arms I have changed my technique slightly and let her stand on top of the toilet whilst I tear away the sides which is a little bit more comfortable. 

What have surprised me the most is that they are pretty much odourless comparing to other brands, normally if I leave a nappy in a bin it will smell badly, with Moony nappy panties I can leave them in a bin for few days without worrying that the whole room will smell of nappies.

Overall, we are happy with Moony nappy panties and may consider purchasing them in the future if the price goes down a little bit.

Review: Pampers Baby-Dry Pants

Nappies are one of the most used baby products in many households. Before L was born we bought 10 packs of nappies to last us a month, which wasn't too expensive comparing how much we pay now for them in a bigger size. 

Put the price aside it's all about quality and comfort and Pampers as a one of the top nappy brands promises to protect our babies bums.

We were sent a pack of Pampers Baby- Dry pants in size 4 worth £5 for a pack of 23 pants. 

Pampers Baby- Dry pants have extra absorbent layer, extra breathable, provide up to 12 hours of dryness and all-round stretch material.
I was looking forward to testing Baby-Dry pants as they are incredibly useful if L won't sit still whilst changing her nappy. We have tried pull ups before, it was a trial purchase to see if you can use pants nappies on a daily basis, but I have decided against  the supermarket's own brand as they were a bit too tight and L had nappy rash few times.
When L saw Pampers Baby-Dry pants pack for the first time she was very excited, the pack has an easy carry handle and for an excitable toddler it was a fun "bag" to play with.

Pull up pants themselves will surprise you with their unique design:

-cartoon image at the front

-tear down sides and 

a small tape attached at the back for easy disposal.

Whilst the design is innovative it took me a while to get used to a tear away method of changing these nappies. When it comes to soiled nappies I take L to the bathroom to take the nappy off and to wash her bum. I normally would be holding L with one arm and detach the nappy straps with the other, which is a fairly easy process, with new Pampers Baby-Dry pants I worry that if I tear away the sides I can drop some of the contents of the nappy on the floor.
I must be so used to "normal" nappies that every time L wears Pampers pants I think if they are comfortable and stretchy enough for her. Having said that L didn't have any red marks as a sign that they fit perfectly fine, which is great! But not only that, they keep L's bum dry as claimed on the packaging for 12 hours and don't irritate her skin or leave a nappy rash!

L and I give thumbs up for Pampers Baby-Dry pants and recommend them not only for toddlers ready for potty training but for active, wriggly babies who don't like hassle of nappy changing!
