Do diapers expire?

JordynLeighx3

I don't know if I should toss them or keep them? DH and I were cleaning out a cupboard and found a package of diapers from probably 07 or 08. There is no expiration date on the package. So I'm not sure if I should keep them or toss them. They look fine. This may be a stupid question but I'm a FTM so I guess dumb questions are to be expected

I found this answer

"This is an interesting question. I contacted the folks Pampers and Huggies to get to the "bottom" of this. Pampers let me know that their diapers do not have an expiration date. They said that the only thing that may happen over time is a possible discoloration to a light yellow. But, they said the performance does not go down. Huggies responded that there is no shelf life or expiration date on their diapers."

I imagine with other brands it's probably the same.

I saw this and wasn't sure also because they're an off brand from Walgreens. I guess we'll keep them and see how they are!

I'd give 'em a try sometime when you don't have to go anywhere and see if they leak -- and if not, awesome!  And if so, you are at home so it won't be too tragic.

I think my question would be where did you find them?  Just curious since you mention in the post that you are a FTM.  If I found diapers that were a few years old, they would be from DS.  But seeing as you don't have any other little ones running around, I probably wouldn't use diapers if I didn't know how they got there.  I would be less worried about an expiration date and more concerned about where they came from.

Otherwise, I'm all about use what you've got.
