Mon, 05 Feb 2007 04:31:44 +0000 http://wantnot.net/2006/06/21/expensive-little-tushies/#comment-19037 Hey ladies. I read most of these comments, but not all, so I don't know if this website has been mentioned or not. When ordering off the internet, give 1800diapers.com a try. You can buy huge cases of Huggies, Pampers, Luvs, or Seventh Generation (which I know nothing about). I did a price check on Pampers, and I found that I'd pay the same price per diaper from the website, as I would from Wal-Mart with a coupon. The website also offers free shipping for order $50 or more. Buy a case or two, plus some wipes, and you've got free shipping! I've tried just about every diaper, and I haven't really found a preference. I just really didn't care too much for the Luvs because they didn't have a stretchy waste, and my daughter is a little chunky. I'd still use them though, if I had a coupon. When it comes to store brands, I have tried White Cloud, Target's, and CVS's. I liked them all. Hubby didn't care for the White Cloud ones because he kept ripping the tabs, but I didn't have a problem. Case in point, I'll buy any diaper if I have a coupon for it. I'll probably begin to buy from that website too, as I can pay the same price as I would with a coupon. I would like to try cloth diapers in order to really save the bucks, but hubby doesn't want to deal with the hassle. Maybe by the time we have a second child, he'll come around to the idea.

We've used Wal Mart and Target store brands for both of our children (a boy and a girl) with very good results. Of course, there is an occasional accident, but I found that to happen with the pricey diapers. I would rather put up with the occasional accident than pay those high prices.

Only because they were given to us in samples or from a baby shower. After that, we ( I really mean my husband) were stuck on Pampers. But here recently Pampers has been leaving sores in the crease of her legs. It didn't make her uncomfortable, but it was just enough to irritate me. Finally I have convinced my husband to go to White Cloud. We've only used them for maybe a whole 24 hours and they seem to be working fine. I have also tried Parent's Choice and have swore to never buy those again. They didn't hold up to the explosive diapers hardly at all. I mean, all diapers leak at some point, but these leaked majorly. I was also committed to Huggies Diaper Wipes. Now, I'm solely hooked on Parent's Choice, wipes. They are just as good as Huggies and seem to last longer also. We tried several “cheapies” when my 6 month old was born. Only because they were given to us in samples or from a baby shower.

My ds is 5.5 months and weighs around 22lb already. I have been using costco huggies and was about to buy the kirkland brand, but now I'm not if they are made by huggies. thanks! can someone summarize what is the best diaper to fit a chubby baby.

Run your finger along the ruffle-y edge and loosen it from the inner blue fold and it will fit the baby's junk a little better and hopefully prevent leaks. Also, instead of buying all these packages to test, try trading with other moms. I would happily give another mom a dipe out of my bag if she nicely asked - but then I'm kinda crazy and usually have about a half-dozen in there. *L* One thing I’ve noticed, especially on the Huggies, is that they need to be de-glued a little bit before putting them on the baby.

Have not read the comments, b/c I am short on time. But I recently found Pampers at BigLots in the large, warehouse size box (96 diapers, I think) for $16.99. Best price I have EVER found. Big Lots.

The triple coupon day allowed me $3 off. Would someone explain how the price for 'each' pamper works. I am willing to find out what bargains are out there.

We have used the Toys-r-us brand for a while now and they fit, don't leak and are a lot cheaper than the name brands. We cloth diaper at home and use disposables at day care and I recommend the petite toddler sized Fuzzi Bunz for the skinny toddler in your life. For diaper rash the best thing is plain old olive oil. We keep a little bitty tupperware container of olive oil in her changing table and it works like magic. My daughter is skinny too and no real bottom on her to hold diapers up either.

I love them. I also the love the Target brand and since I prefer the Target shopping experience to the Wal-mart shopping experience, that's what I buy now. I used to love Huggies when I had coupons but lately the tabs have been ripping off (the change of size maybe?) and nothing annoys me faster than having to wrangle the kid into diaper position only to have it fail me. I love the many brands/sizes of diapers idea as a shower gift. That's truly thoughtful because each baby is shaped differently at different times. I received a bunch of newborn diapers tied to a wreath frame with sample packs of butt pastes here and there and that was a great thing too. By the time the wreath was empty my baby was onto the regular size 1's. The BEST butt paste I found, though, is the Palmer's Cocoa Butter brand. It isn't fish oil based so when you use cloth diapers (and we do that too) it doesn't ruin them or make them smell like fish. It makes the babys butt smell like chocolate. What could be better?! And it works SO well. Angry red spots literally disappear by the end of the day. The first pack of diapers I bought as an expectant mom was the Wal-mart brand. I love them.

I'm not a Huggies fan for the same reason - they never fit any of my six babies right. Although I do love the Good Nights from Huggies at nighttime for the toddlers. For my area, the cheapest place to get Luvs is Walmart. Our Tops market (could be Martin's in other areas) will have sales on Huggies/Pampers, and then you can use a coupon with it as well. Our Tops always gives me $3 off coupons for Pampers, so when they go on sale, sometimes I can get a whole pack for under $5. :) I personally love Luvs. I hate White Cloud (Walmart brand) – the tabs rip off by themselves, making a diaper obviously useless.
