Looking for gift for SIL who is almost due. Love the idea and would have enjoyed it with my first baby. However the price comes out to over $1 per diaper which is kind of ridiculous. OTOH I definitely wasted a lot of money buying full packs of many brands and not using more than 2-3 of the diapers when they didn't work for my baby

Thoughts?

I never had to switch brands for any of my babys.. I just chose the cheapest kind....

I think this is a cute-ish idea but crazy overpriced. I would not buy it.

So I found some leaked more and some made my baby break out/ get diaper rash much quicker

For instance Up and Up was NOT cheapest for my babies because I ended up needing to change them much more frequently

It’s a nice gift. Some people would appreciate it. Gifts are often things the person wouldn’t get on their own, an extra.
I have never had an issue with diaper brands, but many have.
A package of diapers is welcome to a new mom.

So not worth it, this is some random person who has opened these packages and possibly has animals around who knows who touched these diapers etc… definitely not something I’d use. Also I personally tried 3 different companies but over a few month period, both because there were some companies I liked or because I tried it beforehand from someone or because of price. It usually happens organically, it’s not like pacifiers that many switch around a lot in the beginning to see which one baby will like…

Not worth it. We try out brands, buy small bags, swap diapers with someone (2 pampers for 2 target) to see if it works for our babies...
It is a gimmic and not worth it.

The idea is cute, but I usually need more than 2 or 3 diapers to make a decision about how much I like or dislike a brand.
