Pampers New Baby nappies are my all time favourites, with its wetness indicator and bounty pack promotions. So when my cousin asked if I had ever tried Aldi's Mamia nappies I had a million questions! Aldi do nappies? Are they not a bit cheapy? Surely they cannot be as good as Pampers!
I had to therefore review the Mamia nappies to curb my curiosity. At £2.79 for a pack of 44 size 2's (6.3p per nappy), compared to what I usually pay for Pampers New Baby size 2's which cost £16 for 140 when on offer in Tesco (11.4p per nappy), there is a massive price difference! Pampers nappies cost nearly double, but there has got to be a reason for that right, as Pamper's are sure to be better?
I ventured into my local Aldi and came out armed with a pack of Mamia nappies;
The sizing range is the same as Pampers New Baby, so Pamper's size 2 is the same as Mamia's size 2. Obviously this made my life a lot easier as I knew straight away what size I needed. So far so good!
Now onto the nitty gritty-I found that the Mamia nappies feel a bit more papery than Pampers. With Pampers the sticky tabs are yellow so they stand out against the nappy and you know which way up the nappy goes (which actually makes a difference when you're changing nappies at 3 in the morning half asleep),whereas the Mamia nappies sticky tabs are white-the same colour as the nappy, so you need to kind of look to see if the nappy is the right way up!
Mamia nappies still have the wetness indicator which was a definite positive! Compared to Pampers though I don't think the wetness indicator line was as bold.
I also found that the Mamia nappies did not have as much stretch in them; I like to really pull the nappy tight over Farah to ensure no leakage, but I could not pull the sticky bit as far with Mamia. That said, the proof was in the pudding-when it was time to change Farah's nappy everything was still inside which was all I could ask for!
There was no leakage with the Mamia nappy, the nappy fit well (just as well as the Pampers albeit I could not stretch the sticky bits as much) and the nappy did not feel soggy when it came to changing.
All in all, I am actually surprised at the quality of the Mamia nappies compared to Pampers. Mamia nappies are still much cheaper than Pampers, even when Pampers are on offer! Will I be using Mamia nappies in the future? Too right I will!

thanks Farah for telling about wet indication variant. should be trying it. it is so nice that now a days we have so many organic or washable products around us caring our environment https://hippybottomus.com.au, https://tooshies.com.au/ (I have used these two nappies and thus mentioning about these). just my thoughts, if you could have your thoughts shared on biodegrabale/ ecof friendly products, I think, that can be a helpful post.
