Amazon Pampers diaper deal

[teggy20]

Hey ladies - I've been totally MIA (no good excuse except busy with work and honestly, trying to keep my mind out of anxiety mode for my a/s in a couple weeks).. but I saw this and wanted to share. I just ordered a 216-count box of Swaddlers for about $30. Really great deal.

Just availed! My friend says to learn what a dry vs wet diaper feels like with the Pampers swaddlers*, then switch to Luvs. Now I've bought a case o' swaddlers and it's alllll going to plan.

Thank you teggy20 !

*Cuz they have the indicator strips

[teggy20]

ArgyleEnigma, perfect! Love those little indicator strips on the swaddlers. Great tip from your friend!

Wait... what's hip2save? I have Amazon Prime but have never heard of hip2save!

Flair Underwood, I really don't even know.. saw it through a friend of a friend of a friend. Click on the link through the hip2save page, and it'll automatically pull up the Amazon page + clipped coupon for you!

So, the deal worked for me with the size 1, but not newborn, so I bought size 1. With Prime/Family, you get 20% off subscribe and save anyway, so I'll just set up a subscription for diapers closer to EDD!

Thanks, teggy20!

sandandsea, my plan is to do that too... I hope it's as easy as it sounds like it should be!

Stupid/basic FTM question here: I know I don't really need to start worrying about this yet, but this thread made me realize how clueless I am. How many diapers does the average baby go through? In other words, if I were to set up a subscription plan, how many should I get delivered and at what frequency? I know I could figure it out by trial and error, but I wouldn't even know where to start with this...

[teggy20]

That's exactly what I do now, sandandsea, and it works perfectly!

frecklesnbrains, if I remember right, we went through wayyyyy more diapers when DS/day than we do now. Like maybe 6-8/day because teeny babies have blowouts at all sorts of ridiculous times. BUT, I also changed him every time I saw that the little pee strip on the Swaddlers turned blue, because I was so paranoid about diaper rashes. Hard to tell this time whether I'll be so diligent. I'd say we went through probably 1.5 big boxes of diapers/month. Now that DS is 2, we go through about 1 big box of diapers/month.

It'll be trial and error, but I remember as a FTM feeling worried about that, too! Amazon Prime is basically the most amazing thing on the planet.

frecklesnbrains, in the very beginning I remember going through about 10 diapers a day. If you nurse, they pee every time they eat, which is more often than if you bottle feed.

I was a neurotic diaper changer and I SWEAR the wetness indicator is there just for marketing and to make more sales. It looks "wet" but it's not so "wet" that you'd ever notice.

Before DD was potty trained or in pull=ups, I'd say we went through a box (25?) diapers or so a week.

I think last time, we went through about a large box/month.  I remember one day as a newborn he went through 17 diapers in 1 day.  They were the newborn swaddlers so they have a wetness indicator and we changed it every time the color changed.  It was insane.  I want to say on average from birth through 2.5 when he was PT, we went through about 7 every 24 hour period.  We used Pampers swaddlers and cruisers and really liked them.  DS has sensitive skin and they worked well for us.

DS still goes through like 10 diapers each day at almost 2. He poops around 4 times a day. Maybe too much fiber?

[teggy20]

Flair Underwood, YES TO THAT WETNESS INDICATOR BEING A SALES PLOY. I love it/hate it. You feel like a terrible parent if you see it's blue and ignore it, but for the love, they do not need to be changed literally every.single.time a drop of pee leaves them (says the lady who changed her baby's diaper 1000x a day when he was a NB).

Seriously, I hate seeing that damn line change colors. I feel like it's staring at me judging me. I'm glad we changed to cruisers. You don't know my lyfe pampers swaddlers!

[teggy20]

babyzebra, right?!?! That's how I felt when we switched to baby dry! Shut up, pampers, ya dummy!

Hip2Save is a great website that shares really great deals and links to coupons/coupon codes for all kinds of stuff. I like her on Facebook too, and get lots of alerts for awesome deals that I've gotten and enjoy. No gimmicky stuff, either.

Thanks! We loved swaddlers for DD in the beginning so we will be ordering a box as well. We use target diapers too txmommy14. They really aren't bad but I couldn't always use them until recently especially at night. She used to leak through them but now she doesn't go as much at night.
