diaper Poll

I guess I never realized how different babies react to different diapers. I had hoped that later in my pregnancy I would determine what would be the best diapers to use and start buying them then, a package at a time (in different sizes) so I would have them. I think instead I will start a 'diaper fund' and put some money away every pay so it's not too much of a hit in the pocketbook when the baby is here, and I can try different kinds. I think I've been too naive....thanks guys!

I use Huggies on Mimi and only Huggies. Everything else would either leak or cause/contribute to a massive yeast infection.

I wonder if the size/shape of the baby makes a difference regarding different brands leaking? Mimi is a tiny peanut, barely 25lbs at 2 years and everything else leaks terribly. Huggies never has. I know other folks with bigger kids say Huggies leak. Maybe Huggies work better for smaller kids while Pampers/Luvs would better for heavier ones. Just my random thought for the day.

JenBKR- if you can buy your diapers at a BJ's/Costco/Sam's you can get quite a savings. We buy Huggies at Bj's and get 3 sleeves per package for the same price as 2 sleeves at the grocery store. The boxes are great for playing in and storage too!

I have ordered free samples of several diapers to try on the grandbabies. I know a couple came from Walmart site -
(oops it now says the samples are gone) but that it still my favoprite freebie site

I tried googling "diaper sample" and there are several links there now.

I only have a few weeks of diaper experience. We've only used Seventh Generation diapers and we really like them.

Maybe that is it. While Jones is tall, he isn't very big around. At 2.5 years of age, he still fits into some 12/18 month shorts/pants- waist wise. He didn't get his slimmyness from his momma, that's for sure.

This is a GREAT idea!!...... and really functional one.........

I can´t vote cause I used a store brand that´s made in my country, so you don´t have it there, but I tried Huggies (never bought them, they were given at a diaper baby shower, too expensive), Pampers, white cloud (which I bought while in USA), and several other brands made in my country..... and yes your babies (sparks and Jen) will let you know what works better.....the one that fits better, contains leaks, last longer, holds on better, doesn´t rips, etc.....

a diaper fund is best so you can buy and try...... when trying you can buy a small bag of them, once you are sure, buy the bigger one it may be more $$ but it will last longer and try to have a back up bag just in case you ran out and never notice..... or buy them as a regular basis item like every week or every two weeks......
