Well, its official, no name diapers are a pain, or, are they the way to go. From my experience they are both. If you know you want to save money, and most of us do, especially when you have more than one child in diapers, get them into the store-brands ASAP. That way, they should never have a problem. With my first child I only used big brand name diapers, I actually found Luvs’ the cheapest of the big names, to be the best in terms of not having any leaks, even better than Pampers swaddlers which I actually liked the look of better. THis also was before Luvs had their stretchy ber hug fit.
When my son came along about 1yr and a half later, I decided to start him off on no-name Target and Walgreens diapers. I didn’t have a problem until he turned one and turned into a juice/water guzzler and started leaking through his clothes and wetting his bed sheets everynight. Thats when I first tried upping the size from 4-5, which didn’t work. Finally, I decided itwas time to cough up a little extra money and bought a huge pack of Luvs from www.diapers.com . They were great, no more leaks, and everything was cool.
Recently however, I’ve decided to go the cloth diapering route. It’s better for the environment, and the option now seem so much easier than the vision I previously had of cloth diapering. I had about 2 days in between when my Luvs ran out and when my cloth diapers would arrive, so I bought a pack of diapers from Walgreens.
The result, my poor sweet love boy has been getting horrible diaper rash. I mean, horrible. I feel bad bc if the poop sits in their for more than minute, and he’s a busy boy so I don’t always know exaactly when he goes, he gets a horrible rash.
My theory, theres some definite difference between big name and store brand diapers. Having to change those store brands more often to prevent the diaper rash prob cuts away at the money you save buying them in the first place. If your gonna go that route, stick with it, bc once you go the name brand route, it is literally painful to turn it back around again.
