Diaper Tryouts!

Being the mother of 2, I have had the chance to "tryout" quite a few diapers; from Huggies, Luvs, Pampers and even the cheaper brands of Parent's Choice and Baby Soft.

With both kids, we started out using Pampers Swaddlers. Let me just say, they are amazing! Never noticed any leaks. Seem to hold quite a bit! They have a blue strip down the middle that lets you know when your baby is wet. They have a soft cloth type feel to them. Also have a cute "baby" Sesame Street design! We only used them up to size 2 and then switched to Pampers Cruisers at Size 3.  

PAMPERS SWADDLERS
 
 
 
Pampers Cruisers start at size 3. Great diaper. Held quite a bit! For whatever reason, we seemed to like these better for our son than we did for our daughter. She was a Huggies baby, our son seems to be a Pampers/Huggies/Luvs/other brand baby LOL ;)- We switched from the Pampers Cruisers because our son developed a rash, some sort of rash. We weren't sure if it was from the diaper. So we tried other brands. Ended up finding out it wasn't from the diaper, it was just a yeast type rash. We ended up sticking with Luvs diapers due to cost.  Anyway, Pampers Cruisers are definitely a diaper I would recommend. Cute Sesame Street design! High back for those not-so-lovely diaper moments! ;)-
 
 
PAMPERS CRUISERS
 
 
On to the Huggies brand diapers that we've tried..
 
With our daughter, we tried the Huggies Snug&Dry. They were a good diaper. They just didn't fit my daughter right, so we ended up switching. As far as leakage, we didn't notice any. Cute Mickey Mouse design on them :)
 
HUGGIES SNUG & DRY
 
 
 
Huggies Little Movers were awesome for our daughter! Only weird thing with them is they left a green lines on the inside of her legs? I'm going to guess from the dye or something? They worked really well other than that. We tried them for my son and just decided to go with a "cheaper" diaper.
They do have a cute Winnie Pooh design on them! So cute..very flexible diaper for when baby is crawling all over!

Huggies Overnite diapers are HANDS DOWN, in my opinion, the BEST diapers for nighttime! We have used these for both of our kids and they have held up so well. They were the only thing that worked for our son. He is a heavy wetter and  sleeps 10+ hours at night. Thank god he was a little on the bigger side when he was born, so he fit into these sooner than our daughter did. He was peeing through every diaper at night before he fit into these. They start at size 3. Cute Winnie the Pooh design on them. Only problem we have ever had with them in the 3+ years that we have used them, is we had apparently bought a "bad batch" of diapers the one time. The tabs kept ripping off and we were barely even pulling them. It was at least half the diapers in a smaller pack. I wrote Huggies and told them about the problem and they got back with me within 24 hours and sent me some coupons. Other than that, haven't had any complaints! :)
 

HUGGIES OVERNITES
 
Don't really have too much to say about Huggies Little Snugglers, other than we did use them once for our son when he was a newborn. We got them as a gift from a friend. I'm gonna say that they don't go well with little boys who like to pee a lot ;) lol..our little man managed to pee right out the back of them EVERYTIME. It was crazy! Never tried them with our daughter though. They are still cute though :) Winnie the Pooh seems to be popular!

On to Luvs diapers. We tried these with our daughter and just didn't care for the fit of them. Of course at that time, we also had the money to spend on the more expensive diapers. Times are a little different now and we actually seem to like Luvs this time around! They have a little bit of a "perfume" smell to them. Which is kinda nice! They seem to hold quite a bit. Haven't noticed any leaks yet :)  Boy do they sag when he pees enough though LOL. Cute little monkey design on them!
LUVS ULTRA LEAKGUARD
 
 
 
We did try a couple of the "cheaper" diapers. First one we tried were the Parent's Choice diapers. They worked okay for our daughter. Didn't notice any leaks. I honestly just didn't care for how thin they were. Made me feel like the "mess" was gonna go right through! It never actually did though, thankfully haha. We used them for her back in 2010. We tried them on our son end of last year and he peed right through them. Not sure what they did different, but I definitely did not care for them this time around. Probably doesn't help that he's a "super soaker!" LOL.
 
PARENT'S CHOICE
 
 
Lastly! We tried Baby Soft diapers. Actually aren't too bad for "cheap" diapers. Held up pretty well. Don't contain any perfumes or anything like that. Tried these when we thought our son had gotten the rash from the diapers we were using. Went back to Luvs after we found out that wasn't the case because Luvs end up being cheaper (per diaper) when buying the bigger box. You get more for your money. They definitely have a soft feel to them. Have Clifford on them! :) If I had to choose between these and the Parent's Choice diapers, I would choose these. They definitely seemed to hold up better than the Parent's Choice. If looking for a good, cheap diaper....recommend these!

These are obviously just my opinions about all the diapers that we have had to "tryout" :) Enjoy!
