Hello everyone!
I've been trying to find the perfect nappy-trousers for my little one for way too long, but I still can't seem to find any that meet all my requirements. I've tried all the different types from the Manu range, and we've been using the night-time ones nonstop. Unfortunately, they don't last the whole night, so I've been on the hunt for an alternative. I've also tried the Premium and Ultra-thin ones, but they just didn't cut it. Now, let me tell you about the Comfort range.
General Information
Place of purchase: The Children's WorldPrice: I managed to snag them on sale, so they were relatively affordable - 975 rubles per pack. Without the discount, they'd be around 200-300 rubles more expensive.Number of items in the pack: 44
Packaging
The standard packaging with handles, containing the nappy-trousers in a compact manner.

Appearance and Texture
The size L nappy-trousers have a lemon design, while the size M ones have a pineapple pattern. To be honest, I'm not a fan of the designs - they look a bit cheap. But hey, it's not the end of the world. The most important thing is how well they work, right? The pants have a Q-shaped design. They're tactilely pleasant, not stiff, but not super-soft either. There's a disposal strip at the back, along with a moisture indicator. I don't need those extras, but some parents might find them useful.

Like all diapers, it's super important to get the right size and consider your baby's individual needs. My chubby five-month-old baby weighs 9kg and is 70cm tall. The pants fit him perfectly. However, when he reaches 14kg, they'll be too small, just like the size M is already a bit tight, although they claim to have a size chart up to 11kg.

Manu Diapers PantsAbsorbency
I've got to say, the Manu brand just didn't work out for us. We tried both diapers and pants (premium, ultra-thin, nighttime), but they just didn't fit my kid right. The smaller size absorbs decently, but even visually, it's clear that it's not suitable for my chubby son. The larger size just lets pee go right through. In 80% of cases, my son's peeing ends with a wet back or sides, and partially dry pants. Manu's sizing was so off that I just stopped using them altogether.

Allergic Reactions
As for allergic reactions, I have to say that I couldn't find anything negative to say about the pants, or really any of the Manu products we tried. My son didn't experience any redness or rashes from them.
Manu diapersMy Verdict
These pants are just okay, but I think they're really only suitable for skinny kids. Because for my kid, they're just too small, and even if I size up to get a comfortable fit, they leak constantly. I wouldn't recommend them, and I'm done wasting money on them.
Pros-soft
-if you get the right size, they fit well
Cons-tough elastic
-don't fit chubby kids
-don't handle liquid stool well
-leak.

I was genuinely worried about my kid after taking off these super-thin Mitomi diapers - another letdown from this brand.Hands down, the best daytime diapers I've ever bought - these are ideal!What a disappointment - I thought these were premium diapers, but they're just not living up to the hype.All things considered, these are decent diapers with just a few minor flaws.
