After dealing with a lot of "up the back" diaper blowouts in the past weeks I decided not only to go up to the next size in diapers but also to switch brands. At first I was in love with Pampers Swaddlers- they were so nice and soft and anything else just seemed too rough & papery. However, the Pampers were lacking elasticity in the back and the poop just kept shooting out.
So, we tried Costco size 3 diapers this past weekend, not that much bigger than size 2, but definitely more snug and still pretty soft - and best of all - no diaper blowout as of yet! I read reviews that Luvs, which are also rather inexpensive are also quite good and that the other diaper brands - Pampers/Huggies spend more money on marketing which is why they charge more. I'm thinking of giving them a try. I should market a diaper sampler pack so that people can find out what works best for them without having to commit to a whole package of diapers and risk not using them.
In other news, Angela is on the verge of sitting up on her own. Sometimes she's pretty good but will sway side to side and fall over, but her core muscles are definitely getting stronger these days and she's even getting better at pulling herself up into a seated position when she's reclined.
Hi Adianne! I'm a mom and I am the Community Manager for Luvs. I came across your post, and I just had to ask, have you tried them??Just curious what you thought.:)
ReplyDeleteHi Alison,
ReplyDeleteAccording to Amazon.com I should be receiving them tomorrow and will let you know what I think. The Costco ones have had a poop leak out the sides a few times (which the Pampers never did)and then this morning after I changed my daughter's diaper at 3am, I got her out of her crib at 8:30 and she had somehow wet through her diaper after only 5.5 hours, not sure if it was just because she had a really wet morning or if it was the diaper.
Sounds good, just keep me posted! :)
ReplyDeleteAlison,
ReplyDeleteAside from the added scent that doesn't bother me but I know a lot of people are not a fan of it, I give the Luvs 2 thumbs up. I haven't had a single blow out and for whatever reason these diapers keep the poop from even getting near the back of the diaper and only once did a very teeny bit leak out the sides.
