Doesn't matter the age of your LO..cost per diaper is still higher compared to other brands. I loved them, but we can't swing them anymore. So pampers it is here ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher/page/2#post-1106816 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 06:52:38 +0000 sotofamilia 1106816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: @mrskc: thanks ladies! I'll call today.</p> <p>@MamaJ: I ordered my trial the day that @smurfette started this thread, so I think it took about a week from ordering to receiving.

I ordered a trial after reading this thread and it's been "processing" for days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher/page/2#post-1106453 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:03:38 +0000 immabeetoo 1106453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotofamilia: you have to call you can't cancel online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher/page/2#post-1106399 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 19:14:12 +0000 sotofamilia 1106399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And of course, now I can't figure out how to cancel my trial...I may end up using these diapers after all lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher/page/2#post-1106395 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 19:11:13 +0000 sotofamilia 1106395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: that's definitely true! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher/page/2#post-1106393 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 19:10:15 +0000 chopsuey 1106393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotofamilia: honest has plain white diapers too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher/page/2#post-1106392 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 19:09:15 +0000 sotofamilia 1106392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Ohh good tip!</p> <p>So I got my free trial of Honest diapers, and they're definitely nice, but I don't see much of a difference between them and Earth's Best. And I actually prefer the whiteness of the EB over the patterns which you can see through my LO's clothes. So a kind of meh review from me, I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher/page/2#post-1106104 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 15:46:32 +0000 birdofafeather 1106104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotofamilia: we use viva select a size paper towels as liners! helps with those solids poops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher/page/2#post-1105850 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:18:07 +0000 Kimberlybee 1105850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I was able to rid a stubborn diaper rash using the honest diapers. My LO has super sensitive skin also. I hate that I can't buy them at the store so I ordered quite a few packs A La Carte and now use them as overnights. We have a lot of Huggies and Pampers that were given as gifts so I use these during the day and honest as overnights or when longer outings are required. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher/page/2#post-1105829 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:10:59 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1105829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotofamilia: We love Earth's Best and with Amazon Subscribe and Save they've been very affordable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher/page/2#post-1105819 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:07:13 +0000 immabeetoo 1105819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that if you're price comparing you ought to compare to other chemical-light brands. I found them to be leaky personally. We've had good luck with seventh generation and liked baby naty until he hit size 3; we use dispsies at night and cloth during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1105797 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:00:29 +0000 sotofamilia 1105797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: I love Earth's Best as well! We haven't had one blowout or leak since we started using them a couple of months ago.</p> <p>I just bought one Bum Genius Freetime as a test - I love the cost-savings of using cloth and the less chemicals, I just have to get my head around the washing off smelly-solids poop into the toilet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1105584 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 12:46:43 +0000 birdofafeather 1105584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotofamilia: we CD mostly, but have used disposables when traveling to my parents. i really like the honest diapers, but we got earth's best when there was a super sale on amazon. we haven't had one leak with them and we've had some pretty crazy explosions on there. i am a HUGE fan of EB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1105231 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 11:04:12 +0000 littlek 1105231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You guys totally got me thinking about the chemicals. LO has uber sensitive skin. Sooooo I've ordered a trial pack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090381 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:56:25 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1090381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotofamilia: haha I've done that too :) CD works for some people, not for others. It can be a bit of trial and error like it was for us. Ultimately it wasn't for us due to living conditions - but if/when we have a house I might try again for future LO's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090368 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:53:06 +0000 wheres_c 1090368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The honest leaked for us before (size 3) so we had to quit using them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090361 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:51:47 +0000 sotofamilia 1090361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: yeah, that Amazon discount is part of the reason why we use Earth's Best, since it's about equal to Pampers/Huggies. I'm willing to change to Honest to protect my son (I'm like you in that chemical-free diapers are important to us), but that's good to know that they're about equal to you. We're also thinking about cloth diapering, but that's a whole other conversation lol... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090349 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:48:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1090349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotofamilia: I like them both equally! I actually just bought a big box of Earths Best because amazon had a discount on them. Never had leads/blowouts with either except overnight if he wets excessively. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090306 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:38:21 +0000 sotofamilia 1090306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: so we're in Earth's Best for the reasons you mentioned... I'm curious what you think about Honest versus Earth's Best? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090250 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:20:25 +0000 shopaholic 1090250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Yeah. I mainly take the Honest out and about with me, and use Huggies/Pampers/Target brand wipes at home because I can use more if needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090237 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:14:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1090237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I do agree that the wipes are very expensive. We usually buy half honest/half huggies. But they are super awesome wipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090218 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:06:03 +0000 shopaholic 1090218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: LOVE this! </p> <p>@Smurfette: I've tried several packs of Honest diapers (not bundled) and it took me a little bit of getting used to (no blue indicator line!) But I really DO prefer them (besides the cute designs), it doesn't give off a smell when wet. I find the normal diapers seem to stink even when she just peed a little bit. And I would end up changing diapers more often. I've also never had a blow-out or leak yet with the Honest. Since they are more pricey and we get a lot of our diapers from my ILs, I just buy them occasionally and have been using them mainly for overnight diapers. </p> <p>As for the wipes, man, I love the Honest wipes! They're thick, not too wet, not too dry, and I feel better about using them as all-around wipes (face, toys, etc.) But they are a lot more expensive since you can get wipes pretty cheap everywhere. </p> <p>I do agree and think it's more fair to compare Honest to another brand (i.e. Seventh Gen) vs. a hugely "couponed" brand like Huggies or Pampers. FWIW, I've had leaks with Seventh Gen. too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090131 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:38:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1090131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: when I did rough estimates when we switched to honest - that was kind of my findings as well. Pretty comparable. I think the bundle rate just throws people off. It's hard to figure out cost per diaper when the $80 includes wipes and diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090125 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:36:31 +0000 mrskc 1090125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: true. I just did Pampers for comparisons sake. You can take the honest price per diaper and compare it to whatever brand you want. Surprisingly the bundled price seems pretty comparable to pampers when not getting the amazon mom subscribe &amp; save discount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090090 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:29:34 +0000 Smurfette 1090090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: They are so cute, but I keep telling myself but her clothes cover them up. I know that will be DH's first response to them. So if we did end up going with them, then it would because of the chemicals, and the cuteness would be an added bonus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090087 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:28:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1090087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: Oh I'm not offended at all. I totally get why most people think that people buy them for the cuteness - it's a perk! But for me the lack of chemicals (or at least most of them) was most important. Which was why I initially cloth diapered - it was just too difficult to do in an apartment where we pay for laundry. </p> <p>I also don't mean to offend by saying everyone needs to buy chemical-free diapers (which I don't think ANY are 100% chemical free) - it's a personal preference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090077 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:23:33 +0000 littlek 1090077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I didn't mean to offend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honest-diapers-seems-to-me-the-cost-is-way-higher#post-1090071 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:21:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1090071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I don't buy them for cuteness at all. I also buy seventh gen and earths best. I find they are all comparable in price. </p>
