For those of you who don't cloth diaper, what diaper brands/types do you use? Why do you like what you use? Have you changed brands and styles during the different stages of the baby's growth?
Thanks!

I'm wholeheartedly a Pampers girls. I love Pampers. I bought Huggies because they were on sale and I had a coupon but ever single poo diaper leaked out both sides and up the back! Every single one! I started off using Pampers because I received a whole bunch at my shower.

When we use disposables we use huggies little movers or luvs. I also have used bru brand when he was little but they don't work as well now that he is mobile. It doesn't seem to matter what ones we use, he blows out semi-often.

I use disposables at night, always Pampers. We started with swaddlers and now use the cruisers because they are trimmer.

I love Pampers. Started out with swaddlers and now cruisers. We use the baby dry ones at night. The only other diaper I've tried is Huggies and I feel like Huggies is rougher.

We mostly cloth diaper, but when we use disposables, we aren't brand loyal. We've used pampers, huggies, and seventh generation, all with equally good results. The hippie mama in me prefers the seventh generation because they don't contain chlorine or dyes. But I do love that pampers and huggies have a wetness indicator on the outside in sizes through 2. LO is only 17 weeks, though, so my opinion might change once she's crawling.

Pampers are the only diapers we use. I tried using a newborn pack of huggies that were a gift but they stunk so bad when my LO would pee. It was awful. We have been using the swaddlers.

Pampers4Life. We use Swaddler's now and will move to the Cruisers at size 3.

I plan to use pampers..I used those with the girls I nannied and they were awesome! Only one blowout ever that I remember in 4 years.

When LO was brand new, we used Pampers from the hospital and ones that were gifted to us. I really liked them. I also tried a back of Huggies that were gifted to us and HATED them, we always had major blow outs with them. I currently use the Kirkland brand from Costco and they've been my favorite. They seem to be the best priced and even have the occasional coupon. Sure there were still blow outs at times, but I swear my boy just had strong poo or something, lol. It would also happen a lot when he was ready to go up in size. Their diapers go up to a size 6 and he's been in a size 5 for quite a while. So if you went that route I would at most buy two of each of the lower sizes to start out (that is it you go crazy like me and stock up when they have coupons for $5 off a box).

Not a parent yet, but coming from a nanny Pampers are my favorite! I'm not a fan of the Baby Dry though. I know you aren't asking about the wipes, but I love the Kirkland brand.

Another Pampers fan here. We still use Swaddlers or sometimes Cruisers. No diaper rash! Also not a fan of the Baby Dry, though.

My friend who recently had twins (8 weeks old now) swears by Pampers. She got some Huggies in a diaper cake and she said all they do is leak. Also, there's a Pampers Points program you can join and put your points towards things like pictures at Shutterfly! Perfect!

Wow, I'm surprised at the Pampers consensus here! Great to know!

Wow, you all are a Pampers crowd! I want to try to use organic/natural diapers when we have kiddos but you guys make Pampers sound super awesome!

Another vote for Kirkland wipes! I love that they are unscented. With the diaper/wipe combo I use LO has never had diaper rash and he is almost 10 months old.

We used Pampers mostly for LO #1. Loved them. For a few months prior to potty training, we did try Luvs for a while too and those were great also. At the time, Luvs were significantly cheaper, yet still offered great protection. Now though, Luvs upped their price so I feel like one might as well just go with Pampers (they are also both from the same manufacturer).
However, Pampers started smelly "chemical-y" to me when we had LO #2. I tried Seventh Gen and Earths Best as alternatives but just didn't like their fit. Earths best diapers were stiff too and it was hard to tell with Seventh Gen when the diaper had even a little urine. I also read that Seventh Gen bleaches their diapers to get that brown color (IMO unnecessary for an eco-friendly diaper).
Anyway, then came along Nature Babycare. the reviews on Diapers.com and Amazon were pretty good so I gave them a try and I am hooked! LO's bottom doesn't get red/irritated with them at all and we've had no leaks (it's been almost 4-5 months we've used them). They are the Eco-friendly diapers that closest to Pampers IMO. Two of my mommy friends recently made the switch too. I can't recommend them enough!

For his first month the only ones that worked well were the Pampers Sensitive that the hospital sent us home with. Now we are branching into Swaddlers and Huggies with good results. We are going to try out other brands too, just depends on what is available and cost and coupons.

@owlmom: 7th generation does use dye! http://www.seventhgeneration.com/Diapers (under scents, sizes and ingredients).
We use Earth's Best when we are paper diapering. They are our favorite non-chlorine bleach diaper

@Mrs. Jacks: Well, crap. Guess we need to switch! Thanks for the heads up.
blogger / pineapple / 12381 posts
@owlmom: Isn't that crazy!!! Even though they are probably still good, I wouldn't use them based on the principle that they were trying to market "green living".

@Mrs. Jacks: No joke! I usually do better research to make sure I'm not succumbing to green washing, but I've been really happy with the seventh generation cleaning products that I've used and just blindly trusted them on the diapers.

I have disposables for her for daycare (they don't allow cloth) but I use Honest diapers. Jessica Alba's company. http://www.honest.com I tried Pampers, gave her rashes like it did me as a baby, ironic! I like huggies, but when I found honest diapers, I left them all.LOL

Luvs. I tried used pampers in the beginning but for some reason we had leaking problems. I get LO's Luvs at BJs. They have gone up a bit in price but usually always have a coupon.

Great question! I just priced out Pampers and Huggies at BRU, Target and diapers.com. And for all of them, Diapers.com was the price winner. (Up and Up - Target store brand was the overall cheapest, though).
We're registering for both Pampers and Huggies so we can see which ones work better.

@Goldilocks1107: Thanks for the tip! I'm obsessed with Soap.com and can foresee being obsessed with Diapers.com, too : )
