#SagGoneGrooveOn – Pampers Active Fit with Magical Pods

amomentwithfranca · 27 February 2016 · 6 Comments

I’m sure that if any of you have toddlers will understand how active they can be all day long. My two girls are incredibly active but I must admit that Sienna blew away my expectations when she crawled at a very early stage (just before 6 months) and from it was incredible how early and fast she then learned to walk, taking her first steps at just under 10 months. She definitely beat Bella, my eldest, who started walking at 10.5 months. As you can see I have had a very active baby at home all this time. Sienna is now 18 months old and she loves climbing absolutely anything, running everywhere, jumping, dancing, etc… you name it she does all the moves and more, LOL!

With an active toddler like Sienna, most nappies can get very saggy very quickly. I must admit that we have always used Pampers since day one with both our daughters. We have found that they deal with this problem well as they are quite durable and as such has been our nappy of choice for both girls.

Britmums asked me if I would like to be part of a new project with Pampers to try their new Premium Protection Active Fit nappies which are the first and only nappies with Magical Pods which are absorbing channels that help to distribute wetness evenly, so the nappy stays up to two times drier and doesn’t sag compared with other brands. I was really excited with this opportunity and of course keen to give these new nappies a go. I was really intrigued to learn what else Pampers have done to improve their existing Active Fit nappies.

I was immediately up for this challenge and as soon we received the nappies, Sienna put them on to test straightaway. Before I go on to tell you about my experience with the nappies for a week I would like to show you a video about how they actually work:

As you can see from the video, the nappy was completely dry just 3 minutes after we poured in 150ml of water. 150ml is the approximate equivalent of about 2-3 pees which is the average amount your baby might pee before you notice they need a change. I though this was amazing really. These really are Magical Pods!!

When we cut the nappy afterwards we were able to see the 3 channels where the magical pods absorb all the water. These pods have micro pearls that absorb and lock away wetness even better than the existing Active Fit nappies. It was really fantastic! These pods were very soft and transparent. It made the nappy feel dry and allowed the baby to stay like this for longer so you don’t have to change the nappy as often and your toddler will still feel comfy and be able to keep being active.

When Sienna tried the nappies I was a little bit apprehensive to be honest as I thought the existent Active Fit nappies were already good enough. The truth is that these nappies were really good. They allowed Sienna to move freely for more time and she didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. I was impressed. These nappies were also great for the nights as Sienna didn’t wake up in the morning with a horrible saggy nappy as you might normally expected in the mornings. Sometimes I even left it on her until after breakfast and she was completely fine.

Another thing that I would like to say is that even though this has not been mentioned by Pampers and it is not on their product campaign. I also noticed that they are really good for the poops. Sienna had one day last week when her stomach was not very good and I needed to change her nappy at least 4 times that day. I was worried that this could give her a rash as it wouldn’t usually stay dry but wow I was wrong. I really kept her active and she didn’t look uncomfortable. Of course I changed her as soon as I noticed the poo but it was a great solution when out and about and there is no where convenient to change her. I was really impressed with this.

These nappies have a unique 3 way fit which adapts at the waist, legs and bottom. It also has flexible legs that gently seals arounds your baby’s legs and stretches while flexing with your baby’s every move. To make it even better it has a silky softness so Sienna barely feels the nappy. These new features are really good as Sienna was able to do all kinds of movements such as wiggling, jiggling, climbing, crawling, running and jumping and she was kept dry and happy for a long time.

Check our full video below which features Sienna and her every day movements 😉

After all that movement we didn’t see any nappy sag, just a very happy baby that only wanted to show her good grooves!! I was very impressed with the quality of these new nappies so I would recommend them to you to also try them and if you are up for a challenge you could also try the challenge at home and you will see with your own eyes what I’m telling you!! 😉

*Disclaimer: I’m working with BritMums and Pampers testing Active Fit nappies with new no-sag technology. I have been compensated for my time. All editorial and opinions are my own. Visit Pampers today for more information. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    I’ve seen these around and they sound really good. In New Zealand I knew which brand was the best but coming back here all the nappies were way different. Very educational and interesting read. Angela 🙂

    I’m so the mum of crazy active toddlers, I seriously don’t know where they get the energy from. I think these would be the perfect nappies for them.

    Hi Franca, I’ve seen these Pampers nappies being reviewed recently by a few other bloggers and have wondered what the difference was. I thought that their existing range was pretty good and happily used them with our little one until she was potty training, but itas great to see that they have managed to improve on this even further! I cant wait to try these out with baby number two, thanks for sharing this on #MarvMondays, really useful 🙂 Emily

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch.

✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
