Pampers baby dry at night and up & up during the day. We also mix in swaddlers when we can get them on sale.

Samesies!
Lol. We found eventually that changing her during MOTN feed kept her more awake and harder to get back to sleep. But Up&Up don't stay dry all night. So baby dry at night.

I also bought a huge box of huggies size 2 on clearance when I was on ML that we are working through now.

I change so many during the day it's just not worth it at this point. Plus he screams as soon as he's wet. He won't stay in a wet diaper at all.

When they are teeny tiny, Pampers Swaddlers. When they become toddlers, any kind will do.

[cincodemayo]

we are not brand loyal yet at 8 months in. I started really liking Huggies but now the smell turns me off so bad. They smell like pee all the time. I think we will move to Pampers Baby Dry and stay with them.

[galaxy8227]

We've always used Pampers--swaddlers and then cruisers. DS peed out of everything else. We haven't tried anything else with DD yet.

[wonderfezz]

Target

[qcinoct]

we use Huggies Snug & Dry. Tried Pampers, Up&Up, Kirkland, Seventh Generation, and the other Huggies. Both my boys are solidly built with enormous thighs. The others just didn't fit well

eta: oh, and President's Choice for those Canadians out there. Wanted to love them but didn't

[ryry]

We are also Seventh Generation users. I've used them with both girls and had no issues at all. I know some people hate them, but I love that they're completely plain (no characters) and don't smell like a lot of other diapers. We got a big box of Pampers when DD2 was born that we used until we realized they were giving her a terrible rash and switched her to Seventh Gen too.

[redheadk]

Pampers swaddlers sensitive. I like them better than cheaper ones AND they have very minimal color on them. I really liked the solid white honest co diapers but stopped ordering from them when they were being dumb about honest toddler.

Eta: they don't smell like the regular pampers, either.

[catsarecute]

We are using target brand and find they work well. DD is 5.5 weeks old.

We are still using what we were gifted. Huggies and pampers. I like the stripe. When we are out of those we have a subscription to honest.com on hold for us. I like that they are delivere with wipes and diapers for a month. They are a little bit better as far as compostable.

Their wipes are awful

Pampers Swaddlers from Newborn to 2. Then switched to Pampers Baby Dry. We briefly tried Target but they were terrible with leaks.

[BAMFMrsB]

I use pampers at home and the dry kind overnight. I use Target brand at DC because he only naps in them.

The huggies and target brand tended to leak more overnight on DS.

[ladygrey]

Either Huggies or Kirkland (Costco's private label that are identical to Huggies).

[Deleted]

When I failed at CDing, I tried to compensate by using "natural" diapers (Seventh Generation). They leaked all the time. Finally one day when DS was 7ish months old, they leaked three times in one day, soaked all 3 of his sleep sacks. I was like FUCK YOU Seventh Generation! We tried a bunch of different brands until we settled on Huggies Lil' Movers, which fit DS the best. That's what we still use at 27 months old.

I vote to use whatever brand fits best (I.e. Less leaks), regardless of cost. Saving money does no good if you're changing constantly b/c of leaks, or ruining clothes KWIM?

Pampers until she was out of NB diapers. Then Costco brand.

[jr009j]

We only use pampers. We tried Up & Up for awhile but we got a lot more leaks.

We use pampers at home. I did buy 2 boxes of target up&up when they were having an awesome deal and sent those to daycare. DH doesn't like how crunchy they feel though.

We tried huggies b/c I got some practically free, but they smelled awful as soon as a drop of pee hit them IMO.

Try a couple brands and see what works for you.

I hate the smell of Pampers and dont mind Huggies.

We usually cloth diaper but we use Huggies at night and I like them. I get a big box at Costco so they're reasonably priced. It's really personal preference.

[AmyRI]

Pampers swaddlers until they started solids and things became... well, solid.
Then Target up&up.
Then back to Pampers for the easyups - the velcro-like strips on the side of the training pants (like huggies and up&up) bothered DS's skin. The Pampers training pants are just tear-away like swim diapers.

[thebreakfastclub]

Started in Pampers and moved to Costco once he hit size 3. Switched to CD in the day at 6 months.

Now I CD in the day, Costco disposables as needed in the day, and Huggies overnights. Pampers overnights are fine too, whatever I can find on sale.

[browneyedgirl9]

Target up&up or luvs during the day. Papers baby dry at night.

The only ones i have tried and hatred were Huggies we had tons of leaks.

[auberge]

Pamper sensitive swaddlers

[hetty]

Pampers swaddlers. We have a gifted pack of Huggies and I HATE them. They smell awful the second she pees and they just don't fit her that well. I am currently using a pack of gifted pampers baby dry and they are fine too.

[shellbear09]

We have used a few brands but I prefer pampers swaddlers. I still usually buy those. I wish I love the target ones but I don't. I haven't tried cvs.

[Deleted]

I only use disposables occasionally but I'm not brand loyal at all. Huggies, Pampers, various house brands have all be fine if I've got the right size. And I just moved my kid into 3's at about 17 lb. I buy what is on sale.

[Marmee]

I prefer Pampers of Huggies & used them pretty exclusively for my girls.

I bought a pack of Costco diapers in an effort to save a few bucks & I do not like them. I've never had leaking problems except on the rare occassion when I use the Kirkland or Target brands. Never again! Lol.

[Deleted]

For both J and the girls we have used Pampers Swaddlers sensitive. With J we also tried Huggies natural and up and up. Huggies fit him horribly and leaked everywhere. The up and up were ok but I felt like they were really lumpy when wet and big between his legs. We just had to move J to regular Pampers Swaddlers as opposed to the sensitive because they don't make the sensitive in size 5. All of my kids are long and skinny babies.

Huggies, Target or Kirkland - they all have stretchy backs which help since DD is not a chunky baby. Pampers didn't work for us since the back didn't have any stretch - she'd always poop up her back.

I will have to get a small bag of Huggies and try them again.  For some reason, we have the poop up the back problem on the days grandma watches her and I am sick of hearing about it.  Apparently my brother and I never had up the back poops and that is the only kind of poop my baby has during Grandma Daycare.  Maybe it's the breast milk, IDK.

I haven't bought Huggies because I got a lot of Huggies NB but she used to pee out of them until she gained some weight.  Same thing with the big box of Kirkland I had bought for a failed diaper cake.  DD is long and lean, so I eventually used all the Huggies and Kirkland up but didn't buy them again.

I tried to like Target but didn't.

Pampers Swaddlers it is for us.  I also mix in Baby Dry at night hoping it will help her sleep longer through the night, but it hasn't.  

Luvs was ok for me.  I have a coupon so I need to get some more of them.  Currently I have like 60 size 1 Pampers Baby Dry I need to get through because she's basically reached the upper limit of size 1.  But I only put her in those after she's pooped in the daytime and only when she's with me Thurs - Sun.  When she's with Grandma Mon - Wed, I leave size 2 Pampers for her because I don't need anymore lectures from Grandma that I am a failure of a mother because I am too cheap to give my kid the right sized diaper.

[jssymom14]

We have used such as a wide range of things due diaper gifts we were given. Walgreens have worked best at the cheapest price (DH gets a discount) but I also like Luvs and Up and Up. Huggies gave her massive blow-outs when we had to switch between 3 and 4s in those around 9 months age while the Walgreens ones still worked.

[oswin]

Target Up&Up usually - mainly because they don't have a strong smell. We couldn't stand the strong scent of most name-brand diapers. Occasionally we've used 7th generation. We also just started using Huggies Overnights for night, since she was waking in the middle of the night with a wet diaper.

[jinxy]

We started with pampers swaddlers because we liked the indicator when he was little. We then switched to pampers cruisers but after a few months they started bothering him. We switched to Huggies snug and dry and have been using them for about a year. I'm getting ready to switch to target though because their sizes seem a bit bigger and they are cheaper. I'm hopping they don't bother his skin.
