Open Letter to Pampers

Dear Pampers,

We didn't originally intend to go with your diapers, but got some just in case. Everyone told us they were more leak proof than the brand with the less smelly, more natural diapers we wanted to use, so we decided to trust them. It's a good thing we did, because your Pampers Sensitive in size N, 1 and 2 were wonderful, almost never leaked and didn't seem quite as harsh as some other diapers. Even though we preferred the contents of some other companies, it just didn't work.

Then the little man got larger. We searched for Pampers Sensitive in size 3. Imagine our delight when we found them and ordered them online! We got them and saw that they said "Dry Max." Weird. The other ones didn't have that. We opened them anyway. Our delight turned to annoyance when we found that they are nothing like the original sensitive diapers. There's no wet stripe (not a biggie), no mesh liner (a biggie), and they smell as if they've been dipped in a literal VAT of chemicals. How could a diaper be labeled "sensitive" and smell like that?? We find them not as absorbent, not as comfy for our baby, and not as pleasing as the smaller sizes. Why would you basically take some regular dry max Pampers diapers and label them sensitive? We used them in order to keep our son away from some of the awful ingredients in diapers. He's used to wearing cloth diapers (BumGenius 3.0) when he's not at day care, so he certainly can handle a little wetness. And we're not going to let him sit in a wet diaper forever. Please, please consider a more natural and actually sensitive alternative.

Signed,
A very displeased and bummed FCiF

p.s. Since just wearing them a couple of times gave him a red bum and some red bumps, I'd really like my more than $20 back. We don't have enough money to be wasting on horrible products.
