Help! Looking for diaper advice!

[bookninja]

Baby girl has just had an epic diaper blowout... She's had several over the last week or so. Experienced moms... Does this mean I should go up a size? Down a size? This started just about the time I switched her from huggies newborn (they seemed tight) to Costco brand size 1.
Also, recommendations for a good stain remover? This is a unique shade of yellow-orange, but I'd rather not have it on her clothes, my clothes, the car seat and her blanket permanently...

Im guessing size 1 is probably the right size, no experience with Costco brand, id just make sure they are high enough and secured tight enough. Also i prefer to soak stained clothes in oxyclean, then use stain stick and spray before throwing in the wash. Then if there is still a stain you can lay them out in the sun, but ive never had to do that.

ETA the oxyclean is usually enough for poop for us but DD gets paint, marker, and all sorts of other stuff requiring the additional level of stain removal prep.

For poop stain remover I use babyganics stain remover.

Size 1 sounds right for the age range. I would try switching brands. Sometimes blowouts are unavoidable. We get them still using huggies and pampers

It could be just the brand of diapers. Maybe try a different brand and see if that helps contain them better. Was she having blowouts in the huggies?

edited, bc I just reread. I would try a different brand of size 1s. It's likely the fit of kirkland. My guess is size1 is the right size, but not all diapers work for all kids. We had some trial and error with brands with DS1.

And poop is washing right out for us if we throw it in when wet. If dried, i use oxyclean spray.

Can't speak to sizing as we use cloth but I agree with PPs that OxyClean works the best. If it doesn't come out with the first wash let it air dry so as not to set the stain and usually second wash I wet the problem area and rub some of the OxyClean directly on before throwing it in. Sunning also works well if you have a good place to lay it all out. I would try another brand though maybe their brand runs big or you could always use a diaper cover to save yourself the laundry while you play with different sizing.

Another vote for "it might be the brand."

As for stains, I rinse off any chunks and put the clothes/sheets outside for a day in the sun. It bleaches the stain completely out if it's small, or almost all out if it's heavy - and then the wash takes care of the rest. Much cheaper than any "treatment" and just as effective. I've never had stained baby clothes....at least not from poop. When they start getting into paint and spaghetti sauce, all bets are off.

Switch to cloth! Lol I used to get so frustrated will blowouts. Her dad put her in a disposable diaper today and now I have to treat her brand new custom onesie from my brother. I hope that stain comes out (atrb_partsz) OxyClean is truly awesome for that.

+1 for oxyclean. I just rinse, rub some powder in, and wash it with the next load. I even let the oxyclean dry then washed a couple days later and it still came out.

+1 for different brands working for different kids
LO keeps giving himself wedgies when playing or sleeping and wiggling meaning there have been lots of blowouts. It's happening between multiple brands in different sizes right now. When in the lower weight range for a size Pampers work for us, in the upper end Huggies work. We are just getting to size 2 so we're using Pampers for that and finishing up our size 1 Huggies.

This exactly!

Pampers swaddlers are amazing. I can't count the number of blowouts we missed because of those things. This week buy 2 get a gift card at target. There is also a $5 off coupon float gs around
