my daughter is currently 21 mths.
We were given pamper to use at the hospital so we brought the same to use at home.
but we switched to Huggies when she reached "s" since they were gifts from co-workers/friends. We found Huggies thicker and started leaking when she reached "m" but her wasn't BIG enough to move up a size so we started switching again.
We couldn't be bother with Pampers since there were TOO many styles/ lines. Most importantly EXPENSIVE.
So we try Nepia (Chinese version from Park'n'shop), it was great.
But suddenly went out of stock everywhere. I called up Park 'n' Shop was told Nepia (chinese version) is under revamp since Japanese version already "upgrade" a year earlier so it was OUT of stock in HK.
We heard Japanese nappies were great since many of my colleagues try them during their visits to Japan with their children.
So I ordered Merries when i ordered Japanese milk power from re-on.com or birth.hk.
It was EXCELLENT (even thinner/ softer than Nepia).
Then one time, I was near the re-on so I went in to ask about Japanese nappies and was told Unicharm with Winnie the Pool character is even better.
As mentioned by Sandy, it has 2 elastic bands each at the front and back so it really does prevent the leakage from either sides. And a piece of blue sheet to absolve the water (just like period pads). BEST PURCHASE EVER.
BUT even more expensive than Merries (Believe me, no regrets its worth very penny).
we use to order ours from re-on or birth:

Unfortunately, both sites are chinese but you could call them to place order.
Sandy, my husband now works in China. During my recent visit, I found CHINESE version of Unicharm (made in China).
It uses Mickey & Minnie character. And it separate Boys from girls. For girls the blue sheet is much longer. And most importantly, almost two-third of HK price. (Large, 44 pieces, RMB78). And its just as good so my husband brings them back nowadays.
