New and unimproved
We have been Swaddler fans since day 1 and currently in size 5. Target was the only store to carry the size 5 until recently. I was excited to see that Amazon and other stores would be carrying the size 5 when Target placed their boxes on clearance. Apparently they went on clearance because a newer version was taking it's place! The newer Swaddler, in my opinion is simply horrible. First the packaging and character strip is different. Obviously those things are not a big deal, however the inside now has a mesh lining, what they call the "absorb away liner". When wet or dirty this liner stretches, sags and sticks to the skin. This liner does not wick away the moisture or protect the skin at all!!! We never let our son sit in a dirty diaper, we are constantly changing him when the strip turns blue so this isn't a matter of not changing often. Since the newer Swaddler our son has suffered diaper rashes and his skin is so raw and red. We have since switched to something better for us. Too bad I have half a box left and just returned a full box to Amazon.
I did email Pampers directly and received a very bland response which didn't even address my concern. Bad move P&G on both your product and customer service!
