Parenting after a Loss

Am I the only one who didn't know how much Huggies suck?

I decided to try Huggies since we've been having leakage issues with Pampers. Of course I buy the giant box from Sam's Club. OMG my baby was up almost every hour last night soaking wet! WTF Huggies, why are you the same price as Pampers and don't work AT ALL? I put a larger size Pampers on him at 6 am and he slept like an angel, had to wake him up at 10 to eat. I feel like a sucker.

Off to find somewhere to donate 108 Huggies.

    This. I <3 them.

  • I had that problem with Pampers but not Huggies.
  • We had leakage issues with the newborn size Huggies. But I like the size 1 Huggies MUCH better than size 1 Pampers.  I'm not really sure why the sizes make such a difference.

    Me three. We love Huggies. However, I know Sally had an issue with them and she also has a boy. Are your diapers size 1?

  • We didn't really have a problem with leakage, however, I like Pampers so much better because they are a ton less bulky and just fit Andrew a lot nicer.

  • We discovered yesterday that the NB Huggies suck.  Pee everywhere, every time.  High on priority list today is to get out to get me some more Pampers.  Sheesh.

  • I hated NB Huggies! Leaks, leaks, leaks. One time when I was BFing, pee somehow shot straight onto my FEET. No idea how that happened. Anyway, I think the fit is just wrong for his shape.

  • Yeah, the NB size is what we got. I'm having him wear size 1 Pampers now though and they are great. DH used to work for Proctor and Gamble and he's convinced that Pampers are the best so I doubt we'll change again ever.

  • we could not use Huggies at first. He did the exact same thing. Once he outgrew Swaddlers size2/3 we switched to Huggies again and haven't had a problem.

  • I hate Huggies.  DS *always* pees through them.  I was annoyed, because I thought those little jean ones were cute for summertime...

  • Yah they really suck...  I used them because I had gotten them at my shower but I have bought a couple different kinds like Luvs, Pampers, and even the Babies R Us brand (I got a coupon for the babies r us ones and sadly I think they are thicker than any of the other brands.  I actually like them!)... 

    But I hate the huggies too, I dont know why but they just dont seem to be very absorbant...

    Me too! I have a bunch of Pampers I would trade you if you were closer.

  • I haven't had luck with Huggies either.  I gave them a try, bought a small pack of them and found them to leak as well.  I went back to Pampers.  We also tried a sample of Luvs and they were even worse.  Pampers are the most expensive, but there are so many coupons available and other deals to be found online, that really I haven't spent on them anymore than others have spent on other brands.  We are die hard Pampers people.  Love them :)

  • It is so funny to read all the comments because I haven't had any problems with any diapers... we are still using up diapers from all my showers (I think we'll be doing this for quite some time) and I got practically every brand (Pampers, Luvs, Huggies, Huggies natural, Kirkland)... Haven't had a problem with any so when the time comes that we need to buy I'm just going to go with whatever is cheapest! LOL!

    Also the one thing I nocited about the Pampers was that you can "see through" the back (since it's all white) and so I can tell whenever DS has poopies without having to look in there LOL! But if not they all do their job and I have yet to have any leaking issues!

  • WE had the same issue.   Except the first time we had on huggies I put them on and we went out.  She soaked pee through her diaper, her clothes and through my pants.

    Tres Nasty.

  • YUP, same problem! The only ones we haven't had issues with are the Parent's Choice diapers at walmart. They aren't as cushy but they work well for us!

  • We were not able to use them when DD was new. Her legs we're too skinny and we had leaks every time. Once she was a little bigger and fatter it was no trouble. We use them a lot now.
