Switched at size 3 (from Pampers) after being gifted a pack from someone. I thought they were great and we've been using them for a good 8 months now. I still use an overnight diaper (Huggies), but daytime diapers are exclusively Target now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-980278 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:23:40 +0000 2PeasinaPod 980278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also a big fan of Up and Up from Target as well! The only thing I'm not a fan of is their scent. I don't know what it is, but my nose is a bit sensitive to it and it's stinky to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-980259 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:19:11 +0000 Bao 980259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe I will get a small pack of Target and Luvs and see they work, thanks guys :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979915 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 00:31:08 +0000 ALV91711 979915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was using walmarts parents choice brand and liked them a lot. I then tried target brand and I love them! </p> <p>I've used the Kirkland brand too and liked them, but of all the store brand ones I like target the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979911 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 00:23:21 +0000 LaineysMom 979911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I always wait for BRU coupons then use them at BBB bc BBB has bigger boxes and will price match. I buy swaddlers sensitive, but if I had bought the size 3 cruisers it would have only cost $.18 a diaper.</p> <p>ETA: I did not like luvs at all. IMHO, they are not comparable to swaddlers sensitive at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979895 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 23:51:41 +0000 hellocupcake 979895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for target brand (: Although, we usually cloth diaper and have since went even cheaper to Walmart brand. We figure, she only wears them at night and on outings so its not a big deal to us. No problems so far...no rashing or blowouts (: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979824 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 22:24:17 +0000 pl0508 979824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched from pampers to Target brand and haven't looked back ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979800 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 22:08:40 +0000 HLK208 979800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like Costco's Kirkland brand! I miss pampers but we save quite a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979772 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 21:45:39 +0000 wheres_c 979772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to use pampers, but my friend who works for P&amp;G advised that once you move out of swaddlers, LUVs are just as good.</p> <p>We followed her advice and moved to luvs once LO moved into size 4. I found they worked great during the day, but leaked a little if he STTN more than 8hours.<br /> We now use luvs during the day, and Huggies overnights at night </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979646 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 20:41:45 +0000 Smurfette 979646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Huggies and no complaints. They are the same price at Costco as the Kirkland brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979627 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 20:35:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 979627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm interested too. </p> <p>We were gifted some Target diapers and after using pampers they seemed so stiff and rough and cheap. But they did the job fine. </p> <p>I think we have used a few Huggies and I think they were softer but for the small price difference I stayed with pampers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979613 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 20:29:45 +0000 bpcmarj 979613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I agree, air them out as they do have a strong scent when first opened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979611 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 20:28:54 +0000 bpcmarj 979611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: P is big, she hasn't had her 15m appt (it's on the 19th) but I just switched her to size 5. She always needs the next size up when she reaches the lower weight limit. I think they run slightly smaller than pampers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979592 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 20:20:14 +0000 sorrycharlie 979592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved pampers &amp; honest but we can no longer really afford. Tried luvs even though I really was dreading it. They are perfumey but I aired them out and love them now! And 50% of pampers cost.</p> <p>Sadly target didn't hold poops for us :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979575 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 20:12:49 +0000 rawrasaur 979575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've decided to switch to Target from Pampers. I would also like to give Luvs a try, so I may buy that next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979572 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 20:11:40 +0000 coastmama 979572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love Pampers. I've tried other brands and they just didn't work for us. Coupons.com has pampers swaddlers and cruisers coupons most of the time for $1.50 off each pack. They will let you print 2 off of each computer in your house. We have 2 household laptops, and then DH has a work computer so that gives us 6 $1.50 off coupons. (I even ask my in-laws to print coupons out and bring them if they are visiting!) If you buy the smallest packs at Wal-Mart or Target, you are saving the most money. At least we are where we live. Also, sign up for Pampers Rewards! I have so many points and am saving them up for some Shutterfly Photo books. That's how we do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979570 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 20:11:18 +0000 Bookish 979570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used target for newborn size and we loved them! The only reason we switched was because we stocked up on huggies size 1; otherwise I would have stuck with target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979551 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 20:04:40 +0000 sarac 979551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've not found a quality difference between cheap and expensive brands. I get the luvs brand because they have a monkey on them and she loves that. That was about my level of thinking it through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979527 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:58:04 +0000 googly-eyes 979527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: We like target brand and alternate between that and pampers... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979508 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:53:33 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 979508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Cruisers too and try to buy through Amazon Mom/Subscribe and Save and they're cheaper that way.

They fit a lot like Huggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979480 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:47:10 +0000 Sweet T 979480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Pampers. I order from Amazon and it ends up being 0.28/diaper compared to 0.38+/diaper if we buy locally. I've heard good things about Target diapers and Costco diapers but haven't tried them. I don't want to switch things up if they're working, ya know? It would be nice to save more though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979476 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:46:34 +0000 Kimo 979476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We cloth diaper, but whenever we run out of diapers or go on vacation, we use Target brand. We've never had issues with them and I know lots of other people who swear by the Target brand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979470 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:44:18 +0000 anbanan15 979470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: We are huge Target brand fans when we aren't using cloth. We recently got a pack of Pampers and Huggies on sale and all I heard was DH and grandma complain how stiff and ill fitting they were compared to the Target ones! You get more in their big box than the other major brands and you can often get one of those gift card deals. We've never had one leak or those pieces of gel (SAP) get on DS like all the other brands seem to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979442 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:34:05 +0000 Weagle 979442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still use pampers because we only use 1 a day. But we tried Target and they were terrible! The absorbency was great, but they were literally falling apart at the seams. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979412 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:21:26 +0000 Bao 979412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: Do Luvs run small? or just right?<br /> @citymouse: thanks I will check that out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979410 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:21:12 +0000 MrsF 979410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished a small pack of Target brand and I'm sold! Went and bought the big case today. When we were using cruisers we had to use pampers overnights for bed because of leaking. I put her in a target one overnight by accident last week and no leaks!</p> <p>ETA: I just looked on amazon and it looks like a big box of size 3 cruisers would be .25/diaper. I got the up &amp; ups on sale today for .13/diaper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979395 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:16:53 +0000 citymouse 979395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This article is super helpful! </p> <p><a href="http://www.babygearlab.com/Disposable-Diaper-Reviews#bicreview" rel="nofollow">http://www.babygearlab.com/Disposable-Diaper-Reviews#bicreview</a></p> <p>Editors choice that isnt an Eco Dipe is Target Up and Up! Definitely cheaper and performed almost the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979392 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:15:51 +0000 mrsjazz 979392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also a die-hard Pampers fan but my pediatrician's office uses Kirkland and if I was going to make the switch I would choose those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-into-buying-cheaper-diapers#post-979381 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:11:57 +0000 bpcmarj 979381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I switched from Cruisers for the same reason. We now use Luvs and they are AWESOME. Much cheaper but softer than any of the other discount brands I tried (wal-mart, target, BJs, CVS, Pampers Baby Dry). They have soft stretchy tabs like Pampers (since it's their parent company), and all the other bargain tabs feel like paper. I am never looking back and save for when next LO is a newborn and I am using sensitive fragrance free diapers, I am using Luvs all the way. </p>
