Target Diaper users...smell issue?

dbertagni

I think the last 2 boxes of Target diapers we have had have made DD pee smell really bad. It seems like the diapers get a really strong odor to them and it is really yuky, esp the morning pee pee. Plus they raised the prices up, so now I am rethinking them! The smaller box used to be $13.49 and now they are up at $16.49, but you can buy the club pack for $20, which I do buy.

Yes, the morning diaper is the worst!  I started noticing it with the last box (club size).  The price change really annoys me too and I never buy without a $1.50 off (usually there's a coupon on their webpage).  I don't want to go 'diaper searching' again - Pampers  = rash, Huggies = leaks, Luvs = smell, ugh!

 ETA: I'm hoping & praying we'll be potty training soon!  That will be the easiest solution

I haven't noticed it, but we use Huggies Overnights at night, and he generally asks me to change him right away during the day if he pees in his diaper.  We don't buu sposies often enough for me to have noticed the price change yet, but yikes - that looks like a big jump!

If at all possible I encourage you to try cloth diapering. We don't have any of the issues you mention (rash, leaks, or smell). I work full time and so diapers every other day, so it can be done!

I have noticed that too with them lately.I hate that they have changed them and raised prices.

 And to the newbie commenting about CD's--- I CD only at night and I still deal with strong pee smell.  And yes, I use CD detergent and wash them correctly. Face it. Pee smells. CD's are not the answer-all to every diaper issue.  And CD's still can leak. I had to try several brands and combos of liners to get a combo that finally worked ok.

I think they must of changed something because yesterday Jenhum said the same thing when I mentioned it at the play date. I may do a cost comparison with Costco and wait until they have a coupon. 

As for the CD, it's not something I am interested in doing and have zero desire to try.

Well said!  I CD part time and love it, but it took me a while to feel the love - pee does smell no matter what - 12 hours of pee = YUCK!!!

Oh - and Target diapers - yes - annoyed they raised their prices too, but still cheaper than the alternatives.

I haven't bought any lately and didn't realize they have raised the price. 

We use Huggies Overnights and really like them.  Maybe you could try them for nighttime.

I haven't bought any in 2 weeks, we always buy the big box, so I haven't noticed a price difference.  I also haven't noticed any strong(er) pee smell.  I mean pee smells, but I never really notice it.

I have noticed the smell as well and it is gross. 

We use CD part time but as a working mom daycare will not allow them.  It is not the answer to everything although I may be a big advocate if the question were something different.
