 What has happened to design and quality? May 19, 2011
By Jazzy
I am subscribed to this product via "Subscribe and Save" program, which provides a very good price.
Recently, Amazon has switched my subscription from the 132-count box (size 3) Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive Size 3 Economy Plus Pack, 132 Count to this 156-count box. The price did not change much but the diapers themselves are different:
1. The Main difference is that the lining (the most inner layer that is pressed against baby's butt) looks like a mesh on the 156 diaper (each cell is approx 3 millimeters) as opposed to uniform surface resembling a compressed cotton ball on the 132 diaper. Effect: when the mesh-lined diaper collects some liquid, it feels MUCH, MUCH wetter to the touch than the "cotton"-lined diaper. Combined with the relatively large cell size, the baby's butt is much less dry and it gets irritated much more easily due to the mesh pressing and rubbing against it. I do have to watch these diapers more closely and change them more often.
2. The quality of manufacturing is worse.
I am 1/2 through my second box of these "mesh" diapers and about every fourth diaper is somewhat glued to the mesh. If you are not SUPER careful and slow in unforlding and ungluing it, the mesh gets easily torn. And the next layer under the mesh feels suprizingly rough to the touch. So the diaper goes to trash.
In the first box, out of 156 diapers some 5 or 6 had the stretchy wings (that fix the diaper in the front) detach easily on unfolding, and three diapers completely missed one of the wings.
None of these manufacturing issues seemed apparent with the previous 132-count package.
I am somewat perplexed as to whether it is just this variety (the 156-count box) has this "mesh" construction and manufaturing issues or Pampers has switched to the mesh lining across all manufacturing locations and packagings. I am about to consider dropping this subscription, and, perhaps, the Swaddlers Sensitive diaper line altogether. BTW, the 156-count box says "Made in the USA".

 Size 3 has horrible chemical smell! Jul 29, 2011
By Melanie
Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive without Dry Max size 1 and 2 are wonderful. I have had no problems with diaper rash or leaks (I use ones without the Dry Max because I know 2 other babies who have had horrible rashes due to the Dry Max). Unfortunately size 3 is not wonderful and I would not recommend anyone using these. After a using few diapers I noticed a strange smell coming from my daughter. Finally, after thinking I was going crazy trying to find out where this strange chemical smell was coming from, I realized it was her diaper! Every time she wet her diaper this strange, nasty smell would happen! The smell is so bad it makes my eyes burn! My baby never got a rash from the diapers but I only used them for about 2 days. I won't risk my daughter getting a chemical burn. I called Pampers and they didn't give an explanation as to why the diaper had this smell but they did listen and will be sending me a questionnaire to send back with a couple of the diapers. I will be returning my unused diapers to Amazon and I have already switched to Huggies. There is nothing worse than your beautiful baby having a nasty smell to them! I am disappointed that Pampers couldn't continue with the same good quality as in size 1 and 2. Don't risk buying Pampers shoddy size 3s and just buy another brand.

 Pampers Sensitive Size 3 Mar 24, 2011
By chcarnic
***UPDATE #2***
The last box of Pampers Sensitive size 3 that I received had two updates to it. The wetness indicator is back!!! There was a note with the diapers that said based on customer feedback, the wetness indicator will be included with size 3 and 4 Pampers Sensitive diapers. It also said the absorpency strip is longer on the diapers. Two great improvements I must say!
***UPDATE***
I was wrong in my original review saying that these diapers do not have dry max. I didn't think they did because no where on the box did I see the dry max logo or any mention of it. I decided to inquire with someone at Pampers just to make sure, and they said "Our Swaddlers and Cruisers diapers still feature the Dry Max design. The Dry Max icon appears just once and in small print on the box. The Swaddlers size 3 are now containing the "mesh lining", they still contain the Dry Max." Sorry to mislead everyone!
Original review:
It seems as though Pampers has been listening to everyone's complaints, because the new size 3 swaddlers sensitive diapers do not have drymax! They have also put the mesh lining back in. There is no wetness indicator, but other than that it is identical to the size 1 and 2 diapers. I plan on using these diapers during the day and the Pampers Baby Dry diapers for sleeping at night. All in all very pleased with these diapers.

If it is "Sensitive" why the strong perfume? Jun 22, 2011
By Jenny
I don't understand why this is labeled "Sensitive" when the diaper smells so strongly! I almost can't stand having my nose next to it because of the strong smell. I don't want perfumes or unnecessary chemicals if possible. I am going back to the Huggies Pure and Natural. Sorry Pampers.

Beware that size 3 and up has drymax!!! Jun 11, 2011
By Joe
I assumed that pampers SENSITIVE diapers would be free of drymax...but starting at size 3 pampers sensitive diapers have drymax in them. I found this out the hard way when my cae of 156 diapers arrived and after only using 2 diapers out of the case my daughter had a severe sunburn looking rash on her entire diaper area! It took almost a week to get rid of the rash. I started using the sensitive diapers when she broke out with the same type of rash using the swaddlers with drymax as a newborn. I love love loved them in sizes newborn thru 2...but had to switch to pampers babydry starting at size 3 as they are the only diapers pampers makes without drymax in the larger sizes.
