Diapers: Talk to me

[toadandbuggie]

So, are those Luvs commercials true? Should I give Luvs a go?

I am tired of spending $$ on pampers although I love the quality. We just tried BJ's brand and I hate them - already leaked.

What are everyone's favorite brands?

[hollydfromtn]

Luvs is my favorite brand at the moment. I would definitely suggest giving them a try.

For the first 2 months we went through Pampers, Huggies, Target brand, and Luvs trying to figure out what worked and what didn't. I really liked both Pampers and Luvs pretty equally but for the price it is Luvs all the way. Huggies and Target brand both leaked like crazy with DS.

[aggiebug]

Aren't luves cheap, less absorbant pampers? Or am I going crazy.

I thought that is what I heard. They fit the same and what not but the don't absorb as much as pampers.

I love Pampers but my MIL has been sending our supply in a care package each month. She lives 12 hours away and feels guilty that she isn't here to help, so she sends diapers. Yes, we are lucky. Anyway, I love Pampers but would probably try Luvs if we were buying them ourselves because of the price issue.

We're using Kirkland brand from Costco. They're working well for us so far. I also liked the BRU brand as well. You can get a pack of 60 diapers for $10. That's almost twice as many than pampers for the price. My favorite thing about pampers is the way they smell. Is that weird?

We coupon for pampers but will be trying target and luvs when they run out. Huggies weren't so good after size 1 . Sad bc couponing was cheap for them!

[jensoprano82]

For some reason I found huggies size one ok, then ordered a 268 count box of 2's and LO immediately peed through two in a row. Back to pampers for me! Maybe I can coupon.

[krispy83]

I like Pampers but they're expensive. So if I can't get them on sale plus coupons, I use Target brand. I used Luvs a few times with DS and they are basically a cheaper version of Pampers. They're made by the same company, Luvs are just not as soft or absorbent but they fit roughly the same.

[greenpony33]

We've been using Luvs since DS was out of newborn. we have not had any issues with leaking, and I do not usually change him in the middle of the night they seem to hold up pretty well.

[dreemkin]

We get shipments from amazon every month for pampers. It's a big savings (even cheaper then getting them from Sam's club) because you get a percentage off. It might be worth looking into.

I've tried other brands and we stick to pampers now. It's worth a little extra money for us.

[mommadozer]

We use the huggies snug and dry plus from Costco because I can buy 200 at a time. Also, I bought these when Costco had them on sale. My friend gave us some extra babyganics diapers and they are sooo tiny! They say they are for 12-18 lb babies. I only use them right after DS poops because I know he will have a blow out.

[RedGiant]

I love how pampers fit DD, but find that Target brand ones work just as well. Huggies fit DS better than pampers, but he was also skinnier. For some reason when DD wears Huggies they leak at the legs a lot.

So we are using Target brand diapers, or Pampers (if they are same price or cheaper using coupons/sales)

[RedGiant]

I haven't tried Luvs on DD, but from what I remember, they fit similarly to Pampers, but a bit shorter in the back and a bit less absorbent.

[Deleted]

We get Earth's Best diapers, and have been very happy with them. They are very absorbent, and as long as she's in the right size leaking or blowouts aren't a problem. I get them through Amazon subscribe and save with the Amazon Mom discount (20%).

[misshart00]

I only have problems with Luvs overnight only because they aren't meant to go 12 hours. Otherwise I love them. It's all we use for the toddler. I believe they are made by pampers.

[mamabisme]

I only had problems with Luvs leaking once my girls got bigger. It wasn't until they were much bigger (like over a year) though. It's certainly worth a shot to see if they work for you.

As far as cheaper diapers go, I liked up&up for my DDs but I'm still using pampers we were gifted for DS. Once we go through those I will start trying the generics and cheaper brands to see what will work to DS. The only brand I've ever tried that I absolutely hated and would never buy again is parent's choice (walmart's generic).

[angeldcf]

Every kid is different. For us, Luvs were horrible. Felt thin, cheap & leaked immediately. Huggies & Pampers worked well. Target brand was ok, but we had to separate the tabs which sometimes ripped the diaper.

[miniwheat]

Costco, Kirkland brand.

[PikoPiko]

I used the size 1-2 Costco for a while but we started getting a poopy blowout daily. Switched back to pampers swaddlers but still getting blowouts. Now I'm doing pampers baby dry, seems to work well so far.

[michelle142]

We love Luvs for daycare (we use cloth at home)

[abseptember]

We are using pampers bur will switch to target soon. We used target with DD. luvs worked well for her too for absorption but the blue liner was irritating to her skin.

[flyster]

does anyone else have issues with poop up the back? We've been using Pampers. Huggies leaked out the legs. I was going to try Luvs, but can never find a small box to test it. He is way under the weight limit for size twos, so thats not the issue. Any other brands that are good at containing up the back poo?

[lilyelayne]

All our diapers used thus far have been gifts. We've used pampers Swaddlers, Huggies lil Snugglers (or whatever it's called), and white cloud. We've also used pampers baby dry & Luvs overnight at night. We had lots of problems with Huggies NB size but size 1 does okay. Both pampers Swaddlers and Luvs overnight do well for our STTN baby! The white cloud diapers were terrible. Not absorbent at all.

[trin42]

We use Luvs at night (cloth during the day). She goes 12-13 hrs in them without leaks

OMG! Yes. The pampers smell.

We use pampers. Aside from when DS was in the hospital from his fall & we were given huggies , we have not used anything else... I'm not a fan of huggies. I order them off diapers.com & get a pretty good deal. DD was always in pampers too.
