Fight!!!! Pampers vs Asda's Nappies: And how knowing that I'm brainwashed helps nothing.

Still smug from my Aldi savings I needed to address the fact that I only had four nappies in my house.

Lodged in the back of my brain somewhere was that my sister (before her darling daughter decided she wanted to stand up during her nappy changed and therefore switched to pull ups) used to use Asda's brand of nappies and said they where really good. 

So I walked in the rain (keeping an the £2.70 return fare in my pocket - who knows I may even burn some cals) to my local Asda store in town. 

I had £8 in my budget left over from my Aldi shop and I thought that I'd spend that or maybe have an extra pound left over, to perhaps slap in my back pocket. 

Turns out I've decided to become a Pampers Executive when I grow up - as Hell they make a mark up. I usually pay £9.99 from Tesco for 48 nappies. Asda you pay £5.67 for a pack of 48 Little Angle Comfort Dry Nappies and £5 each if you buy two packs, which I did because we're only going to use them and it will save me another trip especially to Asda to buy Nappies. 

I did have a little lament as I used and then disposed of the last Pampers. Hey, he has only ever had Pampers Nappies since he was born. And yes I am that brainwashed into wanting my baby to defecate into a brand named product. But I will try Asda's and see. 

Due to my poor turn around in blog posts it has been almost a week since my purchase, so I will be putting Pampers in a head to head against Asda's Own Here is the score:

Pampers	Winner	Asda’s Own Brand
Smugness of using brand named product	Pampers	Inner shame of not using branded products
Very Expensive	Asda	Half the price of Pampers
Hardly ever leak	Draw	No leaks as yet
Very soft and thin	Pampers	Harder and bulkier feel
Design is a bit garish	Asda	Cute subtle design
Very absorbent – can hardly feel any wet even after going the whole night.	Pampers	Very absorbent – can feel a little more moisture after a whole night.
But doesn't It come down to cost?	Asda	Did I mention they are half the price!!!!!!!!!

So its a draw!!! As the above table doesn't really help I will just remind myself that he is only going to soil them anyway and just buy the cheaper ones!!!!
