What brand diapers do you buy?

What brand of diapers do you buy? I usually use huggies or pampers but they are expensive. Does anyone use Target ones or any other store brand that compares to the pricey companies? My DS is 2 years old (if that matters).

I use Target diapers & have been very satisified with them. My daughter is also 2. Different people tend to have different experiences, it probably depends on the kid.

I have heard that different diapers work for different children b/c each persons body is shaped differently.
I use target during the day and pampers baby dry at night
I did research on diaper pricing (just over a yr ago) and target diapers came out to be least expensive of all diapers (including other store brands like kirkland from costco and babys r us brand)
and since target redid their brand to up and up the diapers have improved

Kirkland (Costco). They are similar to Huggies.

the only ones I like besides pampers are luvs. I really like them and they work well. I dont like the costco or the target ones

For newborns, huggies - I like the way the newborn ones are curved. I usually use Costco, but my sister told me about the target ones, that they're better now than before and I might use them, even though Costco is closer to my house, so even if target are cheaper, it might not make a difference with the gas.

Walgreens brand is the only offbrand diaper I like and they go on sale every other week

I find that Pampers and Luvs get soaked up too fast for me. Huggies doesn't leak even after a huge mess, which means alot to me. When I had 3 children in diapers (my oldest was 2 and a month), I did use other brands. Then, (about 4 yrs. ago), I liked White Cloud from Walmart, but not everybody did. After a while, the quality changed and so I switched back to Huggies. There's another reason why I stick to Huggies: I don't use any sticky tabs on Shabbos even if they were opened before. Huggies is the only brand whos tabs have no stick on them. (White Cloud also didn't.) And when I was stocking 3 different sizes of diapers I couldn't think of also stocking 2 brands of 3 sizes... Bottom line: I think it only pays to buy cheap diapers when you have more than one child in diapers. Because to me messes and soaking through are also expenses.

BJ's brand is very similar to Huggies and I am quite happy with it.

PAmpers are definately the cadillac of all diapers. If you wnat to use those just at night its worth it because if will do a good job...

LUvs are pretty good but do not last as long you have to changed the "pishy" diaper more often or faster. You can use those during the day time.

Also I found that the wlagreens brand was pretty good had the smae thickness and softness as pampers swaddlers.

Pampers for day; Huggies for night.

we love target brand. pampers doesnt work well for my very chubby one year old. luvs are kind of junky, and have the same kind of fit as pampers anyhow. huggies works well for chubby babies, but target is just as good imho, and cheaper.

Just bought target brand for the first time, and I was pleasantly surprised.
Always used Pampers til now, these are significantly cheaper and basically comparable.

I think you can be more adventurous in the larger sizes.

We just tried a no-name Israeli brand now. They aren't as good as Huggies or Pampers, so I try to avoid using them overnight, but they are okay during the day.

Cat, which one?

For newborns I used Huggies/Pampers (whichever was on sale) until I could move to cloth. And I'm a big believer in "whatever's on special" for daycare diapers. Right now it's Tafnukim, but usually it's BabySitter. The only ones I will NOT use are Litufim; they're plasticky and they don't breathe.

Tafnukim- they were 3 for 100 NIS at Rami Levi. (I should have bought all the 2nd to largest size, and I bought 2 of the largest one, and one 2nd to largest).

They leaked one night...as did Babysitter, which I was initially impressed with when I tried it till we had a leak. Anyway they work fine during the day.

another vote for the kirkland-costco diapers. I love them! I use the pamper swaddlers on a real newborn and then at like 2 months I switch to the costco. I have never needed an overnight diaper.

I bought a whole bunch of cloth diapers, but my husband told me that he'd throw them out if they were dirty. so anyway, we use pampers swaddlers/cruisers.
