best generic diaper?

[abseptember]

Now that the boys are a little older and skin not so sensitive, we are looking to switch to generic diapers. Which generic diaper was your favorite? With L, we used luvs for awhile but the blue liner irritated her skin so we went to Target Up&Up. I'm thinking we'll go back to those unless someone has a suggestion for a better generic.

Sorry for bombing the board with baby Qs..... I swear that's my life right now.... that and dealing with L who is having some serious sleep anxiety... nothing but good times here!

We did cloth diapers until January when they just didn't work for Robin anymore, but since then we've been using Target brand with no complaints. He's has a pretty sensitive butt but it's been smooth sailing so far.

I've been loving the target brand. We switched from pampers when A was about 6 months and I've never looked back. T has been in them pretty much all along. I also use the Target version of pull ups now for A. Haven't had any issues with leaks or skin problems.

I hate the fragrance a lot of diapers have (looking at you pampers) and I really like that up and up diapers aren't dyed a bunch of colors or have fragrance. I've tried luvs but thought they felt really plastic-y. Target brand feel softer to me.

We really liked the target diapers too.

Target diapers didn't work for Henry. We tried them on 3 separate occasions and he got a terrible rash each time. I was thinking of trying luvs but after what you just said about the blue liner I'm sure those work for him either.

Another vote for Target! We had to move up sizes faster than the box said due to leaks, but they were so much cheaper that it was worth it. GL!

[starfishy]

Target!

Since we don't have a target here my only other option is our grocery store or Walmart brand. So I have been buying Luvs more than Pampers. I still have some Pampers from when I stocked up before Eliza was born, and if there is a sale I'll pick some up. But if I just go buy them I lean toward Luvs. They do just as good as the Pampers for almost 1/2 the cost. Walmart brand wasn't that bad, but I haven't tried them since Hanna was little so I can't really remember exactly how they were.

After the little infant stage I used Huggies/target interchangeably depending on what was cheaper (we got huggies at Costco typically) at the time we needed more!

[mrsplaydoh]

We use Walmart brand and like them a lot. I also will only use the walmart brand wipes as pampers wipes are too thin and huggies wipes are too thick. The walmart brand is right in between so i get everything at Walmart.

YES!!!  They are really great and the economy boxes are way cheaper than Pampers as well.

Maybe I'll have to give them another try. When I tried them before they didn't seem wet enough.

For us, it was definitely the blue liner bc I had the same issue with huggies (not the little snugglers).

We also used LUVs and had no issues with them. Both of my kids have sensitive skin and Kayleigh didn't seem to have any problems with them. We'll be making the switch to them soon for Andrew.

How are the target wipes?

[mommymadness]

I really like the costco brand, Kirkland. Their wipes are the best too. Extra durable!

I've tried them but wasn't a huge fan. I'm with mommymadness - costco wipes are the best

[lkamenko]

I always used Costco diapers and wipes.

Costco wipes are by far my favorite!  I never used Wal-Mart, but have had huggies, pampers, and target and hands down I prefer Costco.

I never did try their diapers though.... maybe we will with this bambino.

I feel like they are similar to huggies in the fit and cost way less! Definitely try em!

[cookiesandwine]

Sam's Club brand! I think they're called Simply Right. We use their diapers and wipes.

[origamimommy]

Target wipes suck! Another vote for Costco. Also Costco diapers were better for us than target. Target diapers smelled so bad. I was always convinced that somehow Tyler had gotten a uti because of the strong pee smell

I've heard Huggies actually manufactures the Costco diapers, so that totally makes sense!

We tried a box of the Costco diapers and they were fine. It's just a lot easier for me to get to Target, so that's what we've stuck with. I think the price is similar, around $0.18-.20 per diaper.

I love costco but getting there is a total pain I think I'll try them on target diapers... I can get there easily and H has one near his work. I swear target gets all my $$$ ; )

abseptember, if you don't have the Cartwheel app, definitely download it. The Target diapers are sometimes 5% off on there (occasionally 10% off, but it happens!). It'll save you a little extra there too.

[vanessalc]

I could usually find huggies for 0.13 on Amazon and diapers.com sometimes you have to get creative and ship to friends and neighbors.

[paddyb]

another vote for target brand.

[irish1213]

And another vote for Target!
