Everytime my baby urinates a strong chemical smell is omitted from the nappy. I've had a look online and plenty of parents have complained about the same time with some babies getting really bad rash/burns from them.
It seems that you can get chemical free disposables called 7th generation but I doubt you can get them in Dubai - haven't looked at the organics cafe yet.

does anyone else find that the nappy smells of chemicals too? Otherwise which brand are you using that does not.

I am aware of the washable kind and they are better for the environment but with travelling a lot these are not really an option

Totally agree CK30! I used them for a very brief period and stopped because of the smell. I was actually in Carrefour (or one of the big supermarkets) and there was a lady from Pampers doing customer surveys. She asked me for feedback and I told her that the Premium care, particularly the ones for newborns, smell disgusting. She said that many customers had commented on the same thing, but apparently nothing has been done as my baby is now 8 months! I personally switched to Huggies and think they're fantastic. Firstly, they smell normal. Secondly, I find that once a baby pees in Pampers they become very squishy, and feel full of water. Huggies aren't like this at all. They remain firm and absorb very very well. I highly recommend that you try them. They have an organic range for newborns. You can't find them in all supermarkets, especially mini-marts as Pampers have the bigger market share, but all large hypermarkets stock them. <em>edited by SEY83 on 13/03/2012</em>

how does chemical smell like? pardon my question. the reason i swapped from pampers to huggies is solely due to the fact that pampers leak, well at least in my case.
