What is your favorite brand of diapers? It is weird how some diapers work for some babies and not others. My first son could only use Huggies. He soaked through anything else. My second son could use Luv's. Thank goodness because they are cheaper!!!

My first son could only use Luvs. My second son could only use Pampers Cruisers (no Baby Dry... they leaked all over the place!). Huggies leaked for both of them. Generics kept falling apart.

My mom used cloth diapers for my sister and I (we're twins). I think she used disposables for my brother.
My cousin used cloth on her 4 kids. I think she used disposables when they were out-and-about, though.

I can't do generics at all! I think they smell bad and don't hold much...they never lasted over night. I think it is weird how different brands work for different babies. You would think if one diaper worked for one baby, it would work for all your babies. At least the same brand! Huggies Supreme work great but not the Ultratrim...weird.

We used disposables when our girls were in diapers. When I was pregnant with my son I started researching cloth diapers. We started using cloth with him and then cloth diapered our youngest son. My favorite ones were the Wonderoos pocket diapers- trim, absorbant and easy to use.

You should check out naturalbabies.com
They have some really cute and easy to use diapers nowadays.
The AIO (all-in-one) are fantastic-very daddy friendly.

I have never thought about using cloth diapers. When I think of cloth diapers, I imagine the bulky white things with huge pins. I am assuming they are better than that now! Is it more economical with the cloth diapers? Might have to consider that for our next baby...whenever that will be!

We use Kirkland brand (from Costco). We used them with our older kids until our son got into a size 6, which was at like 18 months (they only sell up to size 5 in those big bulk boxes). Then we used store brands for the most part.
When we had the baby in April we were happy to see the new improved kirkland diapers. I love them and we have never had a leak. A lot of times leaks mean it is time to move to the next bigger size. Nora is 6 1/2 months and has been wearing a size 3 since she was 3 months old.

The ones they have now a days are better then the name brands if you ask me. They are soft and the tabs are very stretchy and so is the back. They weren't that good back when I used them with the older kids but they were cheap.
That sucks that you don't have a Costco near by. I was so worried we wouldn't have one close by when we moved here but there are two in our area and one of them is at our mall--woohoo!

I love Costco and I am sad we don't have one nearby. We have a Sam's club about an hour away so I have a membership there but so far I have only found the regular brand diapers there. I live in a little town in the middle of nowhere, I am lucky we hav a Wal Mart!

My son is allergic to Huggies. He used to get this horrible rash wherever the diaper was touching and we tried everything. We switched wipes, diaper rash cream, our pediatrician gave us a perscription and nothing worked until we switched to Luvs. Now his skin is clear, and we are saving money too!

My daughter can use Luvs but I really can not let them stay long. If she happens to go again then it is done for. I use the Pampers swaddlers that I can buy in bulk

Well, I rarely change diapers but the brand we use is huggies, they seem to be the best for both our kids.

I've used Pampers (both swaddlers and baby dry), Huggies Supreme, and Luvs and never had a problem with any of them. I just buy whatever's on sale. I like how Luvs and Pampers have the "fresh" scent to them. Huggies don't have that. When it comes to wipes, I only like Huggies. They are thicker and more moist than any of the other kinds.

My favorite is pampers. We have tried everyother brand out there I believe, but he just soaks through them. Pampers is the only brand that we found that he doesn't wet through. I sure wish that they were cheaper!!
