We have always used Pampers, but we are really trying to cut back on expenses, and I can't help but wonder if there is a generic diaper out there of equal quality... any recommendations for brands that you like? TIA!
I? luvs. I always had leaking issues with Pampers. No matter how tight they were and if he was pointed down when every he had a wet diaper he would soak his front above the diaper. I have had very few blowouts and leaks with luvs. Not generic but fairly cheap.
I love up&up from Target. Great price, and I've never had an issue with leaks or blowouts. I love that they don't have a chemical or fragrance smell to them.
We currently use the Target brand up and up diapers but I'm going to try luvs out. I figured I can get a box of 204 size 3 luvs for around $17 from amazon. I usually get 144 up and up size 3 diapers for 19.99
Target Up and Up. They work pretty well. We've had a blowout in each brand we've tried. I only buy diapers with a coupon or on sale unless they are the up and up brand. I am a bit funny though and save the nice Pampers for when she goes to a sitter or my MIL so they assume we spend the big bucks on Pampers. What a dork I am!
We like Target Up&Up and Costco Kirkland generic brands. If you want to continue to use Pampers, you may want to consider ordering them through Amazon. The Subscribe and Save option gets you 30% off and I use the 20% codes that are found in Parents magazine for additional savings. With those savings, I get Pampers diapers for less than the cost of the generic brands.
I like the Parents Choice from WalMart (I think for a box it's $13 or $14). By far the cheapest I've found w/out having to use a coupon (unless it's Luvs). My gf let me try one of her Up&Up diapers but I thought they got kinda hard when DS peed in it. I just bought Luvs for the first time in a while this week and when I changed his diaper this morning it was really squishy like a water balloon, it didn't leak but I was almost afraid to push it into the diaper genie
I've been ordering the diapers.com brand diapers and they've been great. We have very few blow-outs or leakage problems. At night we use the Fisher Price overnight diapers and they seem way more absorbant than the huggies overnights.
Agree with PP's regarding Target brand. I tried Pampers, Luvs and Huggies, we loved Huggies but the price was getting to me. Target brand are fantastic.
We used Pampers Sensitives for the first 5 months. Then they became hard to find around here, so we started to try other brands. We LOVE Luvs. Rarely have a blowout, never leaks, very affordable. They are also really thin, so they fit close to her body and don't get in her way.
Re: generic diaper recommendations
Luvs or Targets Up & Up Diapers.
Also you could switch to Cloth. That would save you alot of money
I Myself and switching to cloth.

Yeah that's what we use most of the time.
