Why lose the nappy wetness indicators??

Their bladders are bigger and the nappy gets obviously full now. Just a squish should tell you whether it's wet or not

What said I think by size 3 you’ve changed enough nappies and got enough experience that just a quick crotch jab or nose to bum will tell you if they need changing. Some of the pampers, Aldi and boots I’ve had in a size 3 have them but I find I never look at them anymore x

By that point their bladders are big enough that a nappy will be obviously in need of a change when you look, feel or smell it.

Yeah it is because they're more obvious when wet.
I do miss it though, I don't know why, I liked it as a featured because like you she often does a wee as soon as I put the nappy on her.
Tbh. I've just bought rascals or pampers now in 3. I was on Fred and Flo but we got to size 3 and as soon as she does the slightest bit of wee they REEK and they were leaking loads.
Rascals also still have the line at size 3.

My size 3 pampers still have it on

guys u have to remember not all babies are the same, her baby could have been a big baby at birth and got bigger quickly. just saying. cos mine was in size 1 by 2 week the size 2 from week 4 luckily he is still in size 2 (only just tho)

Pampers premium have the line through all the sizes!

I had a "big baby", always sized out of nappies sooner than the weight indicated on the packet. Still managed to tell a wet nappy with a squidge test at size 3

i was refering to the....changed enough nappies to tell by now. but dont get me wrong i get what everyone ia saying, i just thought id mention that cos some new mums might have started in a size 2. and didnt want mums to feel bad if they are yet able to tell.

I never understood the wetness indicators as it’s fairly easy to tell when a nappy is wet - the Kit & Kin ones we use don’t have them regardless of size.

Thank you for calling out the "changed enough nappies to tell by now" statement because it DOES seem like a lot of judgemental moms commenting which defeats the purpose of the group being FOR first time moms.

I also had a bigger baby at birth & then she went through slow weight gain for months before the issue was resolved. Nobody at the hospital taught me how to tell when to size up with diapers & the nurses caused diaper rash putting her in size 1 diapers when she should have been in size 2 diapers from the beginning.

My baby daddy is the ONLY person that could tell when she needs to size up & he works a blue-collar job... So "I" have had to figure things out myself when he's not around & those blue line indicators ARE helpful when you have a baby that gets hysterical with a drop of pee in her diaper. That's why I prep for 4 diapers between feedings to prevent diaper rash and don't listen to everyone recommending different diaper brands that they were used to decades ago because it's not helpful.

I found only the no name brands have no line and I assumed it was to keep them cheaper. Never thought twice about it.
