A diaper dilemma... this is an old post

When Arwen was a newborn, we tried several brands of diapers.  We chose Huggies because they had the best fit for her body. We liked them, so we continued to use them with Rowan.We have always purchased them by the case at Sam's Club.The cost was considerably cheaper than anywhere we had seen.
For some time now, both kids have been wearing the same size. Rowan gas become very difficult to change. He flips, writhes, and tries to crawl away.We thought that the diapers might be getting a little small and decided to try a larger size.The amount of diapers per box decreases as the sizes get larger. Therefore, becoming more expensive.
Alas, the larger size was too large.There was a great deal of leaking, sagging, and the diapers nearly coming off.We decided to store that case and buy the smaller diapers.
We dis discovered that the cases were downsized by 30 diapers, yet the price remained the same. Ugh!
We decided to try out Sam's Members Mark brand, as they cost much less.At first glance, they looked pretty good.They appear softer than Huggies.Upon diapering I notice the tabs aren't as long...but it wasn't really a problem. I thought I liked them at that point. After a couple of nights, that thought changed a little. They were both soaking through by morning. Hmmmm....well we decided to try diapering right before lights out and that helped.  The diapers don't hold as much as the Huggies...and do seem thinner,  but I like them fine.  I am not sure if we will go back to the Huggies for the next case or not.  Time, leakages, and conversation with spyDaddy will tell.

  1. We used to use luvs with brayden when he was a baby and they worked just fine and they were a little cheaper than huggies or pampers. With brody we tryed the same thing and i dunno whats wrong with brody but he was pooping and peeing right through the diapers so now we have to buy him the pampers and they work just great for him but they do cost more.
