Ok so I have a 2 1/2 year old and we always used Target diapers for her. We swear by them and had great luck with them. Now we have another on the way and my maternity leave will be 100% unpaid. So I'm trying to do some stocking up before the baby is here. I have found a great deal on Luvs diapers but have no experience with them. Can anyone give me a review good or bad on Luvs? TIA
Re: Diaper Brands Used?
Cloth diapers are a great way to save money too.
We tried Target dipes and I wasn't a big fan. I thought she smelled like pee all the time. We transitioned to Luvs exclusively by about 9m and I really love them. They are soft, they smell nice and keep the pee smell at bay, tey never leak. Granted, I don't have a heavy wetter; she hardly ever leaks out of a normal Luvs overnight when she sleeps for 12 hours, and never during the day. I know I like them better than Huggies, Seventh Gen and Target. I haven't used Pampers since the early days when she needed the sensitive ones, because they are wicked expensive.

I've always heard people compare Luvs with Target brand, and they were definitely similar in my experience. The main difference is that Luvs have a baby powder smell which I didn't like.
I used Luvs, Target, local grocery brands, pampers, and Huggies Little Swaddler/Little Movers - Huggies have always been my favorite, plus they had a rewards program going.
Pampers are actually my least favorite, for some reason. Then Luvs because of the smell.
Pampers...Pampers...Pampers!!! Hated Luvs!!!
I swore by luvs with my daughter. They worked the best for her. I used pampers swaddlers when she was a newborn but thats because the hospital sent them home with us. They worked well for the time being but luvs is the brand my mom used for my sister (in 1994!) and I used them almost 100% of the time. If we weren't able to afford them at the time we used parent's choice (walmart brand) and those were a toss up. sometimes you could get a good pack, other times she would soak right through them. Huggies NEVER worked well for her. they never fit her right so she always leaked and they were just too expensive for us. I'd say buy a pack (or a few) of each and see which one works the best. Cloth diapers really seem like the way to go as far as absorbency and cost from what I have researched but they don't seem like they would be practical for us. I have a hard enough time keeping up on laundry as it is... Good Luck!
