Diaper Solution for Active Toddlers!
Well, I’m sure you have these same moments like I do…
I REALLY HATE WEARING DIAPERS ON ISABEL!!!!! She likes to run around, even with bare bottoms! I have to chase her around the house. It was still okay when I stayed in the old small apartment, but after we moved to this bigger house, I have been chasing her like a mad dog!
Further to that, since she is toilet trained, she never wants to pee in her diapers. So, I often have to take off her diaper, re-attach after she uses the toilet. I just find it too difficult to put back her diaper without laying her down. Diaper is still essential for outing even though she is toilet trained –> there was once she had an accident, wet her pant when we went to FRIM. That’s because we couldn’t find her a toilet quick enough. 
The best solution is of course to use diaper pants. Nothing beats MamyPoko Pants in terms of comfort and leak-proof. But it is really pricey. The normal diapers already cost so much, not to say the diaper pants! Because it is just too expensive to be used daily, I did not use it although it is what I prefer.
Last month I received an email from MamyPoko Club (I am a member), introducing their new MamyPoko Pants Value. I logged in to MamyPoko Club and requested for free samples.
This ‘Value’ version is supposed to be cheaper version of the diaper pants. The MamyPoko Pants Value is priced similar to the open type, RM0.68/pc.
The free sample arrive on Monday… as expected it looks… err… cheap. There is of course less fanciful stuff like the Winnie The Pooh printing, but all the basic requirements of a diaper pant are there.
This is how it looks, compared to the original MamyPoko Pants. The smaller one (size M) on the left is the new (Value) version, and the right is Ian’s left over XL sized MamyPoko Pant.
The material looks a bit thin, especially around the waistline, can see through (quite ‘sexy’ ahahaha!). At first I was rather worried if it would tear easily or leak. But apparently Isabel feels even more comfortable in it à less warm, more ventilated!!
Look how fitting the diaper is on Isabel in the photo below! The material around the waist line is thin, so it is not hot for her.
To use is very easy, just slip it in like wearing a pant. So she can wear it without having to lie down. Also, no more chasing around the house!!
But watch out the part with blue lines should be in front (my maid keeps forgetting):
Front View (with blue lines)
Rear View (no lines)
And to take off the diaper is very easy too. To avoid any poo-poo staining the thighs, we can simply tear off the side lines like below:
BTW, if you want to get one whole pack of free sample of MamyPoko Pants Value, and get to be an opinion leader, you can join their Fami Buzz campaign at their MamyPoko Club. Yup, I got 1 whole pack of 22 pieces, not just 1 or 2 pcs of free sample! 
This is a new service given by the company. You will be given rare opportunities to try out new products and share with your friends. You get a full pack of product and sample pack that you can also share with your friends and invite them to ‘Buzz’ about the product with you! (That’s the way the term ‘buzz’ came from)
Wow, a good way of marketing eh? Do you have to sign any terms and conditions e.g need to be using the new diapers products for at least 2 years or when Ian/Isabel do not need them anymore? I thought sampling would normally be on food leh..hahaha
PepsiTwist: Nope! No such condition at all! Why don’t you quickly get 1 free pack too? I wonder if I could get another pack. LOL!!!
Mamy Poko is the best! It is pricey, though. That’s partly why I’ve resorted to using cloth during the day and Mamy Poko only at night and during outings.
I have tried the Value Pack, it leaked after a few hours.
I think Drypantz is quite gd, slightly cheaper than mamypoko. Btw, my girl’s also toilet trained, but we only let her wear diapers when she sleeps. We always carry her potty whenever we go out =)
Hi, i have the same problem with my boy too..he keep refusing wearing diapers. To make it easy i buy drypers drypantz and use it when in out coz its faster and definitely easier to put on.But like u say its a bit too expensive to use daily. Was thinking about trying Mamy Poko. Might try Mamy poko pantz value cause my boy is getting bigger and im sure he will be running around more soon.
jane: Really? I even used it for night time (not recommended lah!), but was okay without any leaks even with heavy urine. I finished my whole sample pack this way, also no problem wor. :p
Juzmei: How much is Drypantz? Somewhat between Drypantz and Poko Pants Value, I prefer MamyPoko. I had very bad experience with Drypers, and would never buy that brand anymore! They need to give me a good sample like MamyPoko, to convince me they are good now. Hahahaha!
Cammy: I think for very short while, maybe Drypantz is okay, but if for longer time I would still stick with MamyPoko. Now that they have Value, I think the cost is closer?
