I have a feeling this may have been a problem with older LL's, ie bought a few years ago, but is now fixed. The reason being I bought some nappies on a clearance deal from them last year, and seem to remember it mentioning that the elastic might not be as good on them hence why they were on sale.

I have just bought some of the newer nappies on their latest offer, the labels on the ones I bought last year are different again so obviously older again. They have the black cartoon drawing of the little sheep, on the latest ones I got it is the green lamb on the label. I haven't used any of the nappies yet as still waiting for baby to arrive, but I noticed a difference in the elastic of both nappies - on the ones I just bought it seems much firmer than the older ones. So I think it depends on exactly how old the nappies are - the ones they currently have on offer seem to me to not be the same as the ones they must have been selling a couple of years ago.
