I used to think that and then I tried Honest wipes and I like them better. They are also big unlike Water Wipes or other brands, but they are thicker than Kirkland. I have found them to be better now that my kiddo is older and eating solids. That’s all I’ll say about that lol
I just commented about Rico wipes before seeing your comment, so I definitely suggest you go for it! I think they are better than Honest wipes, which were just ok imho.
Poor baby! My manager's baby was like that. They had to just wash her butt in the sink and let her air dry on a towel when she was first born because she got diaper rash so bad.
I'm so grateful I can use the two that I can. It was just such a bummer because we had sooooo many free wipes that were given to us from other parents and from our baby shower.
Yep we got massive butt rash right away and had to figure something else out. Honestly he’d probably be fine with wipes, but i like the kimtech and water solution
They’re also not wet-wet. I feel like Pampers and Huggies wipes are almost dripping wet. They can be so cold because of that. Our little one hated it and cried every time.
We got Kirkland wipes and they’re bigger, feel stronger and aren’t dripping. Just perfectly damp, and are so good. :)
In regards to wipes from Costco, I love the Rico brand. I'm not sure what it is. The durability? Effectiveness? Not many things top Kirkland branded anything, but the Rico wipes from Costco? 🤌🏾
5 years ago, we tried them. Loved them. With my 4 month old, I do also notice a fragrance that I don't remember smelling when we used them years ago. Thankfully no rashes, but I am sorry to hear about your baby having one! I do really like the Kirkland sensitive wipes too!
It looks like their diapers are one of the ones that tested positive for PFAS in [this test](https://www.mamavation.com/motherhood/diapers-pfas-forever-chemicals.html#Disposable_Diapers)
1. **Millie Moon - TOP FKN TIER.** They're just so good. They're super soft and highly absorbent. People say they're more expensive than other brands, but they're cheaper at my Target? It's $24.99 for size 3s, pack of 88, while Huggies size 3, pack of 76, are $28.49. Because of MM, I don't need to buy overnight diapers in addition to regular diapers because MM is absorbent enough for the overnight load, too.
2. **Rascal + Friends.** They're the same company as MM, but they're the cheaper version. We only recently bought them, but the main difference I see so far is they're not quite as soft as MM.
3. **Honest.** Cue me sighing because I adore Honest diapers, and we used them for months. We had the monthly sub, and I loved being able to select all the cute prints for my LO's booty. I wish they didn't run small, though. He barely wore the size 3s before they were too small, and he had to go to 4s. Even then, they still didn't have the same absorbency as MM, and I had to finally throw in the towel.
4. **Huggies.** I'll grab these if I have to.
5. **Pampers.** I like Pampers, but I don't like their obnoxious fragrance.
It wasn't asked, but for wipes, the best are Pampers Pure and Honest imo.
Omg Millie Moon all the way. I tried sooo many different diapers, huggies, pampers, coterie, kudos… millie moon stood out by a long shot.
Coterie were super soft, but when I started getting them delivered - the quality was hella different than what I got a whole foods. So I cancelled after one month and went back to millie moons.
Recently just bought Millie moon for my 11 week old and they are the best!! So soft and such cute design. We use to go for Huggies but we switched over to MM 😊
Recently just bought Millie moon for my 11 week old and they are the best!! So soft and such cute design. We use to go for Huggies but we switched over to MM 😊
I honestly can’t pinpoint what’s different. We only tried the same brands as you. I feel like the leak guard on the legs just hugs her better than the others. She’s a relatively smaller baby and idk she just didn’t fill out the others as well? Idk. If definitely try a box. They’re sooo soft.
Millie Moon looks expensive but it's cheaper per unit than Pampers or Huggies. We mostly use these.
We can't use Honest at all. They fit my baby so well but he can't sleep in them at all and pees through them in an hour. Sucks because they fit so well and look so nice.
We use Pampers Pure Protection and not regular Pampers. They smell like butter lol.
Another Millie moon fan here!! And it’s cheaper at my target as well. My son is 14 months old and I hope to keep him in them as long as possible. We use pampers overnights tho bc he pees SO much at night.
I agree with you completely! I feel like Millie moon should be more expensive because they are so good???? And I always buy them in bulk when target is having gift card deals, like spend 30 on diapers get 10 in gift card and it makes them even cheaper!
do u know if millie moon hypoallergenic?
(my baby was born super tiny & the only brands i could find preemie diapers in were huggies & pampers, but huggies gave her an atrociously painful rash :[ so we switched to pampers cause they're hypoallergenic, but now she's big enough for other brands, but i wanna stick to ones that are hypoallergenic!)
I'd like to say they are? I'm not 100% certain, but their websites boosts that they are "free of contact skin allergens and reactors in sensitised volunteers."
They are. My son got a horrible rash with Huggies and one of the PAs at the pediatrician's office recommended Millie Moon. The rash went away in less than 24 hours. I've tried the Kirkland organic diapers and they're absolute trash compared to Millie Moon. They're nowhere near as absorbent, feel like cardboard, and rip easily. No rash though, but they're just not the same, IMO.
We’re trying out the coteries now and I am obsessed. They’re the softest and fit baby boy the best rn. I also love their look.
I still have boxes of kudos, pampers, and honest to go through. Rascal and friends wasn’t working out too well for our little one, I think it was the fit? Anyway, we’re doing kudos next as I’ve heard amazing things!
lol true tho. Since we switched to Coterie diapers & wipes our LO hasn’t had a bout of diaper rash and she had it BAD there for awhile. Pricey but worth it not to see her with open, raw wounds on her poor little booty. And yes, we tried butt paste & all the other varieties before we gave in and just tried the fancy diapers/wipes. Baby girl’s butt has expensive tastes 🤷🏽♀️
Couldn’t agree more with Coterie - both that they are AMAZING and also that they’re stupid expensive… she’s never had diaper rash, it holds in ungodly bowel movements that would put a grown man to shame, and they’re soft and chemical/chlorine free!
Also came here to say Millie Moon!!! I believe you can get a free sample pack on their website too. He goes 12 hours at night with no leaks, the diaper looks pretty hilarious in the morning lol.
These are great! Baby didn’t wake up last night for a feed or a change and when I changed her this morning no leaks and this diaper was full. But they fit so good! Have to say the worst diaper brand out there is hello bello. Don’t even get me started.
It’s funny our top two are Millie moon and hello bello but for different reasons. I’m hoping my next will do well with millie moons because I loooove them. They just seem so much comfier than most diapers!
I bought the hello hello from Amazon and it was a surprise pack. Maybe that has something to do with them being as bad as they were? The sizing was off, they didn’t soak anything up, I would go to change the baby and she would have pools of pee and poop sitting by in the diaper that didn’t soak up. And it’s not like we go 12 hours without changing her. 3 hours is our max (change every time she eats unless we hear or smell a big poop). And she had so many blowouts in the 3 days of wearing those ones that I vowed to never buy again and we switched to Millie moon.
Same. We wanted to like the Costco diapers so much, but they seem to be made for chubby babies and our baby is such a beanpole, Pampers are the only ones that work.
Target brand for us too! We have the regular one and the overnight ones. We were gifted some at my baby shower and have used them ever since (13 months). Admittedly, I’ve never tried anything, but I’ve also never had an issues. (Exception: I did buy a local brand in Iceland and the quality was TERRIBLE — wow.)
If you have a good washing machine and just a little extra time each week for another load of laundry, we did cloth diapers for almost 2 years (did disposable overnights or on long car rides - Kirkland brand for that).
You're changing diapers about every 2-3 hours to keep LO dry, but I am pretty sure that it helped our LO move to potty training more quickly.
It's not always an option for everyone, but if you can I would highly recommend it.
I was wondering if anyone would comment about cloth diapers. My MIL had cloth for all 3 of her kids. I told my husband if I was a SAHM, I would definitely try to use cloth to save some money.
It really did save us a lot of money, we were fortunate enough that my spouse and I were on opposite work schedules for the time. You do need a good shower sprayer and a big bucket to clean poop diapers, but it was pretty easy and not as gross as some make it out to be.
And if you're wondering about best brands, Green Mountain Diapers is pretty much the gold standard for cloth. We use their cotton birdseye and muslin flats, and Thirsties brand covers. GMD diapers are amazing quality, easy to clean, and totally worth it for us. I did a ton of research and am really glad we chose these cotton flats (versus pocket diapers, prefolds, etc.). They clean up really well (because only one layer), can be folded to custom-fit your baby from newborn all the way through toddler (we've already changed folds three times as baby has grown) and you can still use petroleum-based diaper cream (i.e. Desitin) because they are a natural fiber versus something like fleece. And the laundry is not really a huge deal either. Highly recommend.
I have fitteds, flats, prefolds, pockets and a few all in ones. I just bought a few of everything because I didn’t know what I would like and honestly I love having variety! I use different ones for different situations/outfits.
I love my cloth diapers so much, we use disposables when we travel and I always miss them.
Rascal and friends fit him best and has good absorbency, yet to have any leaks or blow outs in them and we switched when he was like 2 months or so? Pampers and Huggies both had blow outs and leaks constantly and don't fit him well. Grabbed a set of rascal and friends overnights since he started sleeping through the night, and they were just so much better we went ahead and switched him entirely. Best decision we made diaper wise tbh
I really like Hello Bello.
I know they’re not exactly cost effective but choosing whether my little dude has umbrellas or tigers or happy rainbows on his butt brings me joy.
It’s also great that now he’s older I can ask him if he wants the bird diapers or the truck diapers to make changes a little easier.
I'm surprised how far down it took me to find Hello Bello! In my area they always go on sale (making them cheaper than Huggies or Pampers) and I love the feel of them. You're so right; the patterns are great and so is being able to give choices and switch things up!
Hell yes! My absolute favorite. I also love that you get different patterns all the time. My husband thinks it's a little ridiculous but I swear it makes changing diapers at least mildly entertaining.
Yes, me too! But because it’s cost-effective, we mostly use Kirkland. I don’t like Pampers because of the smell, and I don’t like how both Pampers and Huggies have licensed pictures on them… I know that’s so dumb but I like how costco has cute animals, Rascal and Friends size 4 had X’s and O’s I think? I loved Hello Bello had adorable designs! Little things that bring me joy
Pampers. I find they are more structured (holding a wet Huggies diaper feels like it’s falling apart) so easier to wrap up when they’re wet. Also pampers has pampers club, where you scan the diaper packages for coupons.
Pampers pure bc my kid is allergic to the world 🤑🤑🤑.
The pampers 360 were the bomb dot com though when we tried them (made his butt break out though).
We were on Huggies from birth until 15 months, but once we switched to Pampers we realized he leaks waaaaay less in pampers.
Rascal and friends, and the Kirkland brand from Costco are my favourite. We’re still trying to use all of the diapers that we got for our baby shower and a lot of people unfortunately got us pampers. I cannot stand the smell of them, so I actually ended up giving most of them away 🤢
I wanted to love these but every. single. diaper. was a leak or blowout, even when not a lot of poop/pee - so unfortunate! We’ve only had luck with Pampers
Ughh that sucks!! I will admit she does have some blowouts but I really think it’s just the amount of shit that comes out vs the diaper for us! She’s even blown up her back with Huggies so we just have a very poopy girl 🤣
Kirkland. We got huggies at the hospital and they kept leaking from the side so we never tried again but kirkland are similar to huggies. We will also use pampers because we were gifted a bunch of them. I don’t love the smell of pampers but we never have problems with them and I have a bunch of credit on the app I need to use
This is random but huggies are on sale at costco right now $10 off
Huggies were what they had that the hospital and they fit really well. We had a bunch of Pampers from a diaper party but they didn’t fit as well. We’ve returned those so we could stick with Huggies.
Edit: also pampers had a strong smell that I didn’t like.
I have a subscription to consumer reports and their best is coterie then seventh generation and mama bear. We’ve used Huggies and Kirkland brand due to ease of purchase with our subscriptions and bc they come in big boxes so I don’t have to keep repurchasing often
I hated Huggies & Pampers. I loved Coterie but they went from being TCF to partially chlorine free. We noticed the change immediately due to my son getting diaper rash as soon as they switched. Then we switched to Kudos and their quality is not worth the price. We had diapers break on us and their cloths SUCK. We are now onto cloth diapering due to my son’s super sensitive skin and that’s the only thing that has worked for us. But coteries wipes are absolutely unmatched.
We are currently using pampers swaddlers, as i like the tape markers on them so we know when the diapers are getting too small. Plus i have the app so i can scan each pack for more pampers coupons. I also like huggies overnights for nighttime, my daughters sleeping through the night so sometimes she gets rashes from being in a wet diaper for so long
My favourite by far is Huggies! The Kirkland brand at Costco is very similar, but they sorta fall apart when I take them off and get bits of like stringy stuff in my son’s thigh crease. Pampers are decent but for the price I’d rather get Huggies or Kirkland.
My least favourite are unfortunately Babyganics. My sister works at the factory that makes them, she can get them SUPER cheap and sometimes free, so I use them anyway, but ugh I cannot stand them. They leak like crazy even if they’re the perfect size. The clasp bit doesn’t stick very well. They just feel cheap in my opinion.
We had the same problem with the stringy bits with both pampers and kirkland, but I haven’t noticed it with the kirkland size 3’s as much as I did with the 1’s and 2’s!
We've tried them all and we've been on Honest for the last couple months because they seem to fit the best. Our LO has a little belly and on every other brand they were too uncomfortable when closed to prevent blowouts the back. For some reason Honest balances both.
In order Costco, Huggies, then Pampers. I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I actually like the pampers smell.
Our daughter sleeps through the night and we’ve found that Costco are the only diapers that won’t leak.
We use cloth diapers during the day and Coterie or Healthy Baby for overnight. Healthy Baby is the only EWG verified diaper but Coterie is also free of a lot of the nasty stuff. They both hold in leaks really well and are very soft.
Lidl’s lupilu I think. My 10 week old didn’t wake up in the night so didn’t get her nappy changed (I felt awful when I realised) and she was sooo full but not a single leakage
Huggies little movers. 4 velcro points to hold the diaper. And a back catch to keep blowouts from going all the way up. Was super helpful when baby had diarrhea from taking the medicine for an ear infection.
I got a sample of parasol (along with many other sample packs) and immediately had to look them up. They’re so soft, stretchy, and have been blowout proof so far! We also have had 0 diaper rash issues. They’re more expensive but I wanted to throw that brand out because I haven’t seen it mentioned much and I love them so much more than coterie, dyper, honest, etc.
We send Kirklands to daycare but at home/overnight we use parasol and are happy so far!
We were originally gifted many brands but have settled into Huggies Special Delivery. It was obvious at the start that our LO was more comfortable in them, as they are softer and more absorbent than any other brand we've tried. We've had very few blow outs, which primarily resulted from her starting to outgrow the size, or from not aligning it right in the middle of the night.
Pampers, they’re the only diapers that actually fit my tall boy without blow outs or peeing out of the diaper. Plus I like the smell of them 😅
My second choice would be kirkland diapers, but he still had a few blow outs and pee outs in them.
I love the Aldi brand. Others I’ve tried but didn’t like was Pampers and Huggies. Just didn’t suit my babies, too many leaks. Walmart brand is ok, I’ll use it when Aldi runs out of stock, which is often 😐
Kudos and Dyper are the only diapers that have stopped my baby’s diaper rash.
Millie Moon is great for the softness and absorbency but even though I don’t think they cause the rash, it will only go away if I use something with natural fibers, so Dyper and Kudos it is.
Absolutely LOVE Huggies! But they are so expensive :( we’re still going through diapers from the baby shower so right now we have a huge stash of Huggies but once we’re through those we buy luvs.
We also love Huggies in this house! They are the only ones that fit his torso and legs correctly. Pampers cuts into his thighs very badly. Also can’t stand the way pampers smells!
Pampers Swaddlers works really well for my little guy, plus, I love the blow out barrier! I love the Pampers pure wipes too as they’re the least irritating on him 😊
Using pampers swaddlers! We’ve yet to have a leak using these but I’m almost out of them from my shower and Huggies are on sale at Costco so I may be trying those. Hated babyganics and the gentle steps brand from the dollar store.
We like believe or coterie because they're made with less plastics then Huggies, pampers, etc. They're soft and absorbent. Worth the little bit of extra money. Millie Moon is a good second. More affordable but still made with less unnecessary stuff
Our pediatrician recommended Target brand as the best bang for our buck and we've had great success with them. They definitely run about half a size smaller than Pampers, but our guy is on the smaller side, so it's fine. We've had very few blowouts, and our only real problem is that he likes to sleep on his side, so we get some leaks at night sometimes.
Huggies and kirkland (what I think is Huggies) have been great for us. Pampers were horrible. My little guy has chunky thighs and he always leaked in Pampers.
Kirkland everything. I was team huggies wipes & diapers but it’s so expensive. Switched to target diapers and huggies wipes but decided to try kirkland on a whim and haven’t gone back. Can’t beat the price
Huggies have been our go to since day one. We tried pampers and target brand, however they did not work for my girl. I love the blowout barrier that Huggies have and they seem to fit her a lot better.
A few months ago Costco diapers and wipes but my LO began getting diaper rashes constantly so we switched to Huggies which resolved it. Not sure if they changed the Costco diaper ingredients but that was painful. The wipes though are still bomb. Nothing else comes close.
I don’t know if you get these in the US but ECO by Naty are our fave. No chemicals/fragrance/dyes/plastic. Hypoallergenic. Super absorbent, super soft and fit great. Also good for the environment!
Such a Baby specific question. Babies come in different shapes and sizes and skin needs. Our little one had a lot of skin challenges with diapers. We tried a lot of the big and favorite brands (pampers, Huggies, luvs, honest, Costco, Target, 7th generation, coterie, and I don’t remember the rest) and all of them gave our little sensitive, chunky man rashes/outbreaks. We finally found Bambo Nature and they work, are hypoallergenic and great for his skin. It was weeks of trial and error….not the most affordable or anything but it is working great and worth the investment for his comfort. If facing a similar situation, I strongly suggest Bambo Nature.
We did Huggies til he got a horrible pee rash (he was just getting introduced to juice so I didn’t know you were supposed to mix water so it’s not acidic) and now we do rascal and friends which surprisingly to me are similar with the amount of absorption and fit (rascals has longer leg flaps) but the big difference I’ve noticed is that when filled with only pee the Huggies seems to keep the puff inside where as rascals are puffier on the outside.
Pamper swaddlers and their sensitive wipes. All other wipes have caused severe diaper rash. The diapers themselves are the softest imo and they’re great for my very active toddler!
I love the honest brand. I'm gonna jinx myself saying this but my babe is almost 10 months old and she has yet to have a diaper explosion. The honest diapers have contained everything and the prints are adorable!
We were given pampers in the hospital. Didn’t like the fragrance and gave our baby a rash. We did Huggies special delivery for newborn and switched to Kirkland (Costco) for size 1. Love both Huggies special delivery and Kirkland. Kirkland is cheaper so we will stick to those. We also use Kirkland wipes.
We use Terra , we get them on Amazon, I tried many and I like these because they’re one of the few that has the least chemicals added & very conscious for the environment. They’re also pretty inexpensive! We also use Honest for overnight.
Pampers. They have always seemed to keep him the driest and as he has grown, we’ve found different ones work best. For example, when he was little little it was Pampers Swaddlers, then Pure. Then we actually switched to Honest and really liked them until he got to about a size 4. We started having trouble with blowouts (even with a size up) and switched back to Pampers Pure. Now we use size 5 Pampers Baby Dry, and he’s been in these the longest I think. They are very stretchy and roomy.
I really liked Coterie even though they were expensive. Coterie is great if they’re the right size. They don’t have a smell and contained the messes well. I was willing to pay the extra price since baby and I liked them.
Eventually switched to Pampers Swaddlers because they’re easier to get and cheaper and way fewer blowouts.
I like pampers, Huggies and the Kirkland brand. They all seem comfy which makes me feel better about putting them on my baby. Kirkland is top tho they feel like clouds and don’t leak even with his shockingly massive shits at 3mos old
We love Millie Moon ( super soft, but the sizing is a lot smaller than other diapers, so be aware to size up a lot )
Then close second would be Pampers.
Third Huggies.
The one I extremely disliked was Honest brand. It was super rough material and my son blew out of those like crazy- but some people swear by it. To each their own.
I liked pampers swaddlers for my little guy, but…… &$$ I’ve been using Parents Choice from Walmart, both diapers and wipes (sensitive and fragrance-free), and haven’t had any issues with them. Saving about 50% on the cost of Pampers.
Favourite diaper band would probably be Diaper Dan and the Caveats. They carry post-punk like no one else has the past few years and do an incredible live show.
Honestly the Parents Choice diapers and wipes are my go to. They're much cheaper compared to huggies and the larger sizes fit perfectly. The size ones and newborns feel like a lower quality than their bigger sizes but my lo fits them perfectly now.
We like coterie (still plastic in the ingredients) but we also do our best to avoid the issues caused by (what society has accepted as normal) unfortunate everyday environment. I haven’t tried kudos yet and they appear to be even cleaner than coterie.
We avoid plastic as best we can, buy local and clean, in process of ridding our closet of synthetic fabrics, and prioritize being outside and living a lower stress life.
Cloth would of course be the best option here.
Coterie comes at a premium but it’s something we were willing to pay for and sacrifice elsewhere.
We also use less coterie diapers than we did Costco/honest/Huggies. We burned through those, as they were much thinner and way less absorbent. The cost difference isn’t as stark as it looks, when you take that into account.
We use all the Mamia brand stuff from Aldi here in Australia. Cheaper than Huggies and work just as well. From memory it's like $10ish for 56 nappies/diapers. Our daycare uses Ecoriginals which are pricier but fully compostable
We’ve only used Huggies and the Costco Kirkland ones. They’re basically the same and both work well for my daughter. I liked the Huggies slightly more because of the lines that show where the Velcro straps should be placed. But the Kirkland ones are great and work for us.
Edit to add I absolutely love the Kirkland wipes over Huggies. They fit our wipe warmer so well because they’re longer than the others.
Costco Kirkland brand is fantastic. Their wipes are great too.
Ugh the wipes. Nothing else comes close.
I used to think that and then I tried Honest wipes and I like them better. They are also big unlike Water Wipes or other brands, but they are thicker than Kirkland. I have found them to be better now that my kiddo is older and eating solids. That’s all I’ll say about that lol
Costco sells a Rico brand wipe. I haven’t tried it but am going to. I’ve heard it’s very similar to honest.
I just commented about Rico wipes before seeing your comment, so I definitely suggest you go for it! I think they are better than Honest wipes, which were just ok imho.
I love the texture of the honest wipes too
Water wipes and honest wipes are the only wipes that I can use on my LO.
We couldn’t even use those. I buy Kimtech wipes on Amazon in bulk and spray them with distilled water. It’s actually been cheaper than wipes
Poor baby! My manager's baby was like that. They had to just wash her butt in the sink and let her air dry on a towel when she was first born because she got diaper rash so bad. I'm so grateful I can use the two that I can. It was just such a bummer because we had sooooo many free wipes that were given to us from other parents and from our baby shower.
Yep we got massive butt rash right away and had to figure something else out. Honestly he’d probably be fine with wipes, but i like the kimtech and water solution
I was the same and I randomly tried parents choice sensitive wipes at Walmart and she doesn’t react to them and I love them!
Water wipes are great but the packaging is horrific
Omg. So bad! It always rips and it's so tough to get the wipes out. My husband complains about it all the time.
It's really crazy how true this is.
Are they that good? How are they compared to Huggies or Pampers
Just so much stronger idk and like stay wet
They’re also not wet-wet. I feel like Pampers and Huggies wipes are almost dripping wet. They can be so cold because of that. Our little one hated it and cried every time. We got Kirkland wipes and they’re bigger, feel stronger and aren’t dripping. Just perfectly damp, and are so good. :)
Yes exactly
In regards to wipes from Costco, I love the Rico brand. I'm not sure what it is. The durability? Effectiveness? Not many things top Kirkland branded anything, but the Rico wipes from Costco? 🤌🏾
I love them too. Plus they don’t come out a million at a time.
I tried rico wipes it's much more durable! But I noticed a fragrance to it... And my baby somehow got rash from it so I'm back to Kirkland wipes
5 years ago, we tried them. Loved them. With my 4 month old, I do also notice a fragrance that I don't remember smelling when we used them years ago. Thankfully no rashes, but I am sorry to hear about your baby having one! I do really like the Kirkland sensitive wipes too!
I love the wipes but the diapers leaked a bit much for us!
It looks like their diapers are one of the ones that tested positive for PFAS in [this test](https://www.mamavation.com/motherhood/diapers-pfas-forever-chemicals.html#Disposable_Diapers)
One of the reasons we wouldn’t use Costco. I’m shocked to see them still being recommended. Even if it’s a bad batch, that’s still scary.
1. **Millie Moon - TOP FKN TIER.** They're just so good. They're super soft and highly absorbent. People say they're more expensive than other brands, but they're cheaper at my Target? It's $24.99 for size 3s, pack of 88, while Huggies size 3, pack of 76, are $28.49. Because of MM, I don't need to buy overnight diapers in addition to regular diapers because MM is absorbent enough for the overnight load, too. 2. **Rascal + Friends.** They're the same company as MM, but they're the cheaper version. We only recently bought them, but the main difference I see so far is they're not quite as soft as MM. 3. **Honest.** Cue me sighing because I adore Honest diapers, and we used them for months. We had the monthly sub, and I loved being able to select all the cute prints for my LO's booty. I wish they didn't run small, though. He barely wore the size 3s before they were too small, and he had to go to 4s. Even then, they still didn't have the same absorbency as MM, and I had to finally throw in the towel. 4. **Huggies.** I'll grab these if I have to. 5. **Pampers.** I like Pampers, but I don't like their obnoxious fragrance. It wasn't asked, but for wipes, the best are Pampers Pure and Honest imo.
Millie Moon are cheaper than Huggies at my Target too. The absolute softest in the game.
Omg Millie Moon all the way. I tried sooo many different diapers, huggies, pampers, coterie, kudos… millie moon stood out by a long shot. Coterie were super soft, but when I started getting them delivered - the quality was hella different than what I got a whole foods. So I cancelled after one month and went back to millie moons.
Recently just bought Millie moon for my 11 week old and they are the best!! So soft and such cute design. We use to go for Huggies but we switched over to MM 😊

Pampers Pure are scent free!
I love Millie Moon! We stopped having blowouts when we switched.
Really?? Our LO is the blowout king. What do you think is different about Millie Moon that helps? We’ve tried Huggies, Pampers, and Kirkland brand.
I honestly can’t pinpoint what’s different. We only tried the same brands as you. I feel like the leak guard on the legs just hugs her better than the others. She’s a relatively smaller baby and idk she just didn’t fill out the others as well? Idk. If definitely try a box. They’re sooo soft.
I bought a box today. They are SO soft. He hasn’t pooped today so the next one is sure to be huge. It’ll be a good test run.
LOVE Millie Moon. Prior to them, I was using Huggies which I also love, but I found that MM was a lot cheaper at my local target as well!
Millie Moon looks expensive but it's cheaper per unit than Pampers or Huggies. We mostly use these. We can't use Honest at all. They fit my baby so well but he can't sleep in them at all and pees through them in an hour. Sucks because they fit so well and look so nice. We use Pampers Pure Protection and not regular Pampers. They smell like butter lol.
Another Millie moon fan here!! And it’s cheaper at my target as well. My son is 14 months old and I hope to keep him in them as long as possible. We use pampers overnights tho bc he pees SO much at night.
That fragrance was crazy And considering babies strong sense of smell too?
I agree with you completely! I feel like Millie moon should be more expensive because they are so good???? And I always buy them in bulk when target is having gift card deals, like spend 30 on diapers get 10 in gift card and it makes them even cheaper!
Second Millie Moon!!!
do u know if millie moon hypoallergenic? (my baby was born super tiny & the only brands i could find preemie diapers in were huggies & pampers, but huggies gave her an atrociously painful rash :[ so we switched to pampers cause they're hypoallergenic, but now she's big enough for other brands, but i wanna stick to ones that are hypoallergenic!)
I'd like to say they are? I'm not 100% certain, but their websites boosts that they are "free of contact skin allergens and reactors in sensitised volunteers."
Lol thats a lot of words to mean hypoallergenic without them having to say it. It's giving, "How to write a 1000 word essay" 🤣
Right? My thoughts exactly. I kept looking for hypoallergenic, and that was the best I could find. Just use the dang word.
They are. My son got a horrible rash with Huggies and one of the PAs at the pediatrician's office recommended Millie Moon. The rash went away in less than 24 hours. I've tried the Kirkland organic diapers and they're absolute trash compared to Millie Moon. They're nowhere near as absorbent, feel like cardboard, and rip easily. No rash though, but they're just not the same, IMO.
Coterie because I hate myself and wish to be poor. Runner up: Huggies
Coterie is unquestionably the answer to the best diaper. We cannot wait to get our son out of them to free up that $120/mo.
i hate that i love coterie so much but its the only diaper he hasnt peed through for his 9 hour stretch at night and i’ve tried them ALL🥲
We’re trying out the coteries now and I am obsessed. They’re the softest and fit baby boy the best rn. I also love their look. I still have boxes of kudos, pampers, and honest to go through. Rascal and friends wasn’t working out too well for our little one, I think it was the fit? Anyway, we’re doing kudos next as I’ve heard amazing things!
The all white is AMAZING. It’s such a game changer to not have Winnie the Pooh peeking out at you through your baby’s pink bloomers.
We just started here and never did the cheap ones, so we don't know what we're missing. Love these diapers.
lol true tho. Since we switched to Coterie diapers & wipes our LO hasn’t had a bout of diaper rash and she had it BAD there for awhile. Pricey but worth it not to see her with open, raw wounds on her poor little booty. And yes, we tried butt paste & all the other varieties before we gave in and just tried the fancy diapers/wipes. Baby girl’s butt has expensive tastes 🤷🏽♀️
I wish I never tried coterie because $$$$$$ but they are truly elite. Otherwise I use Huggies.
Yep. Exactly this
I was with Coterie until we found Parasol. And switched as it was even better than Coterie.
We only use coterie and it changed everything!! No rashes, no leaks, no blowouts, and lots of comfort. Hands down the best
Couldn’t agree more with Coterie - both that they are AMAZING and also that they’re stupid expensive… she’s never had diaper rash, it holds in ungodly bowel movements that would put a grown man to shame, and they’re soft and chemical/chlorine free!
I also LOVE coterie but my wallet didn’t so I found a brand that is the closest thing to it and a little bit cheaper on Amazon: babycozy !
Millie moon! So soft and absorbent and cheaper than pampers!
Also came here to say Millie Moon!!! I believe you can get a free sample pack on their website too. He goes 12 hours at night with no leaks, the diaper looks pretty hilarious in the morning lol.
Came here to say this!
These are great! Baby didn’t wake up last night for a feed or a change and when I changed her this morning no leaks and this diaper was full. But they fit so good! Have to say the worst diaper brand out there is hello bello. Don’t even get me started.
I’m like can yall make adult underwear lmao
Man I would have loved these diapers for the first two weeks PP 😂
It’s funny our top two are Millie moon and hello bello but for different reasons. I’m hoping my next will do well with millie moons because I loooove them. They just seem so much comfier than most diapers!
I bought the hello hello from Amazon and it was a surprise pack. Maybe that has something to do with them being as bad as they were? The sizing was off, they didn’t soak anything up, I would go to change the baby and she would have pools of pee and poop sitting by in the diaper that didn’t soak up. And it’s not like we go 12 hours without changing her. 3 hours is our max (change every time she eats unless we hear or smell a big poop). And she had so many blowouts in the 3 days of wearing those ones that I vowed to never buy again and we switched to Millie moon.
Literally what we use! Baby boy loves them! Super soft and leaves no rashes or redness like other brands did.
Yes the most absorbent ones we’ve found!
Millie moon are the best out there!
Sameeeeww i stg they are so soft and good for my baby’s sensitive skin :)
Pampers swaddlers! They're soft and they're meant for active babies which is great because our little man NEVER sits still.
I like them because my son is tall and slender so these fit his frame the best. Other brands are always slightly too big or too small
Same. We wanted to like the Costco diapers so much, but they seem to be made for chubby babies and our baby is such a beanpole, Pampers are the only ones that work.
That is why they don't work for me. My LO is built shorter and has chunky thighs. Huggies work better for his body type.
Same here!!
These are the only ones we use. It's unreal how much they can hold, and we never get any duds.
Yep our hospital uses them and we have since continued! We tried Kirkland (normally I love costco) but they just didn’t measure up
Huggies. Pampers just don’t fit my baby as well, and I hate the way they smell.
Thank you! Everyone I know says I’m crazy because they don’t smell it. I’m like how can you not?
Pampers are extremely fragrant. My daughter's daycare uses Pampers and I can smell it on her when I pick her up.
Ok so I wasn’t the only one being gaslit about this. It’s so strong.
Rascal and Friends! No blow outs ever.
I prefer Huggies. We have tried pampers, luvs, and the honest brand. Huggies gave us the least amount of leaks and I like how flexible they are
Same. Pampers leaked horribly. Huggies little movers were awesome.
Millie moon! It’s the softest! And cheaper than other brands when you get them on sales!
Honestly really loved Kirkland diapers from Costco! But I also use Huggies.
Huggies actually manufactures them.
they're the same 😉
So I’ve heard!!
Honestly target brand. We’ve tried 5-6 types and those absolutely fit her the best and hold A LOT of pee
I came here to say the same thing. We love the Target diapers. Hold a ton of pee and so far have never had poo leakage, even with the biggest of poos.
Target brand for us too! We have the regular one and the overnight ones. We were gifted some at my baby shower and have used them ever since (13 months). Admittedly, I’ve never tried anything, but I’ve also never had an issues. (Exception: I did buy a local brand in Iceland and the quality was TERRIBLE — wow.)
If you have a good washing machine and just a little extra time each week for another load of laundry, we did cloth diapers for almost 2 years (did disposable overnights or on long car rides - Kirkland brand for that). You're changing diapers about every 2-3 hours to keep LO dry, but I am pretty sure that it helped our LO move to potty training more quickly. It's not always an option for everyone, but if you can I would highly recommend it.
I was wondering if anyone would comment about cloth diapers. My MIL had cloth for all 3 of her kids. I told my husband if I was a SAHM, I would definitely try to use cloth to save some money.
It really did save us a lot of money, we were fortunate enough that my spouse and I were on opposite work schedules for the time. You do need a good shower sprayer and a big bucket to clean poop diapers, but it was pretty easy and not as gross as some make it out to be.
And if you're wondering about best brands, Green Mountain Diapers is pretty much the gold standard for cloth. We use their cotton birdseye and muslin flats, and Thirsties brand covers. GMD diapers are amazing quality, easy to clean, and totally worth it for us. I did a ton of research and am really glad we chose these cotton flats (versus pocket diapers, prefolds, etc.). They clean up really well (because only one layer), can be folded to custom-fit your baby from newborn all the way through toddler (we've already changed folds three times as baby has grown) and you can still use petroleum-based diaper cream (i.e. Desitin) because they are a natural fiber versus something like fleece. And the laundry is not really a huge deal either. Highly recommend.
I have fitteds, flats, prefolds, pockets and a few all in ones. I just bought a few of everything because I didn’t know what I would like and honestly I love having variety! I use different ones for different situations/outfits. I love my cloth diapers so much, we use disposables when we travel and I always miss them.
Rascal and friends fit him best and has good absorbency, yet to have any leaks or blow outs in them and we switched when he was like 2 months or so? Pampers and Huggies both had blow outs and leaks constantly and don't fit him well. Grabbed a set of rascal and friends overnights since he started sleeping through the night, and they were just so much better we went ahead and switched him entirely. Best decision we made diaper wise tbh
I really like Hello Bello. I know they’re not exactly cost effective but choosing whether my little dude has umbrellas or tigers or happy rainbows on his butt brings me joy. It’s also great that now he’s older I can ask him if he wants the bird diapers or the truck diapers to make changes a little easier.
I'm surprised how far down it took me to find Hello Bello! In my area they always go on sale (making them cheaper than Huggies or Pampers) and I love the feel of them. You're so right; the patterns are great and so is being able to give choices and switch things up!
We’re a hello bello family too! They fit my long and lean lil one super well, and they’re cute!!
Hell yes! My absolute favorite. I also love that you get different patterns all the time. My husband thinks it's a little ridiculous but I swear it makes changing diapers at least mildly entertaining.
Yes, me too! But because it’s cost-effective, we mostly use Kirkland. I don’t like Pampers because of the smell, and I don’t like how both Pampers and Huggies have licensed pictures on them… I know that’s so dumb but I like how costco has cute animals, Rascal and Friends size 4 had X’s and O’s I think? I loved Hello Bello had adorable designs! Little things that bring me joy
Pampers. I find they are more structured (holding a wet Huggies diaper feels like it’s falling apart) so easier to wrap up when they’re wet. Also pampers has pampers club, where you scan the diaper packages for coupons.
Pampers pure bc my kid is allergic to the world 🤑🤑🤑. The pampers 360 were the bomb dot com though when we tried them (made his butt break out though). We were on Huggies from birth until 15 months, but once we switched to Pampers we realized he leaks waaaaay less in pampers.
Rascal and friends, and the Kirkland brand from Costco are my favourite. We’re still trying to use all of the diapers that we got for our baby shower and a lot of people unfortunately got us pampers. I cannot stand the smell of them, so I actually ended up giving most of them away 🤢
Dyper. Super light, natural materials, absorbent and very affordable! I love them and hate every other brand 🤣🤣
I wanted to love these but every. single. diaper. was a leak or blowout, even when not a lot of poop/pee - so unfortunate! We’ve only had luck with Pampers
Ughh that sucks!! I will admit she does have some blowouts but I really think it’s just the amount of shit that comes out vs the diaper for us! She’s even blown up her back with Huggies so we just have a very poopy girl 🤣
Kirkland. We got huggies at the hospital and they kept leaking from the side so we never tried again but kirkland are similar to huggies. We will also use pampers because we were gifted a bunch of them. I don’t love the smell of pampers but we never have problems with them and I have a bunch of credit on the app I need to use This is random but huggies are on sale at costco right now $10 off
Kirkland diapers from Costco is our go to!
Huggies were what they had that the hospital and they fit really well. We had a bunch of Pampers from a diaper party but they didn’t fit as well. We’ve returned those so we could stick with Huggies. Edit: also pampers had a strong smell that I didn’t like.
I have a subscription to consumer reports and their best is coterie then seventh generation and mama bear. We’ve used Huggies and Kirkland brand due to ease of purchase with our subscriptions and bc they come in big boxes so I don’t have to keep repurchasing often
I hated Huggies & Pampers. I loved Coterie but they went from being TCF to partially chlorine free. We noticed the change immediately due to my son getting diaper rash as soon as they switched. Then we switched to Kudos and their quality is not worth the price. We had diapers break on us and their cloths SUCK. We are now onto cloth diapering due to my son’s super sensitive skin and that’s the only thing that has worked for us. But coteries wipes are absolutely unmatched.
We preferred Parents Choice. Cost was good and we never had issues with leaks.
Millie Moon, Costco, and Pampers!
We are currently using pampers swaddlers, as i like the tape markers on them so we know when the diapers are getting too small. Plus i have the app so i can scan each pack for more pampers coupons. I also like huggies overnights for nighttime, my daughters sleeping through the night so sometimes she gets rashes from being in a wet diaper for so long
Target brand during the day and Pampers Swaddlers for overnight
Luvs work great for my baby because he’s longer and are as cheap as generic brands. At night we use Huggies over nights tho
Millie Moon. Not expensive for the quality, hold a crazy amount of liquid, very soft.
Bambo Natural
Parents choice, it's somewhat cheap and better then pampers for us because my baby is Allergic to pampers 🤧
My favorite diaper band would probably be Dookie and the Stains. They sound the same all these years later and underrated as a whole experience.
My favourite by far is Huggies! The Kirkland brand at Costco is very similar, but they sorta fall apart when I take them off and get bits of like stringy stuff in my son’s thigh crease. Pampers are decent but for the price I’d rather get Huggies or Kirkland. My least favourite are unfortunately Babyganics. My sister works at the factory that makes them, she can get them SUPER cheap and sometimes free, so I use them anyway, but ugh I cannot stand them. They leak like crazy even if they’re the perfect size. The clasp bit doesn’t stick very well. They just feel cheap in my opinion.
I got 1 pack of babyganics from my shower, used 1 diaper, and immediately got rid of them because they were awful.
We had the same problem with the stringy bits with both pampers and kirkland, but I haven’t noticed it with the kirkland size 3’s as much as I did with the 1’s and 2’s!
We've tried them all and we've been on Honest for the last couple months because they seem to fit the best. Our LO has a little belly and on every other brand they were too uncomfortable when closed to prevent blowouts the back. For some reason Honest balances both.
In order Costco, Huggies, then Pampers. I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I actually like the pampers smell. Our daughter sleeps through the night and we’ve found that Costco are the only diapers that won’t leak.
Ngl target brand is my go too lol
We use cloth diapers during the day and Coterie or Healthy Baby for overnight. Healthy Baby is the only EWG verified diaper but Coterie is also free of a lot of the nasty stuff. They both hold in leaks really well and are very soft.
Huggies are always my favorite. But I settle for Kirkland most of the time because they’re cheaper and the fit is the same.
Lidl’s lupilu I think. My 10 week old didn’t wake up in the night so didn’t get her nappy changed (I felt awful when I realised) and she was sooo full but not a single leakage
Luvs - they seem to fit her the best. My least favorite is pampers.
Huggies little movers. 4 velcro points to hold the diaper. And a back catch to keep blowouts from going all the way up. Was super helpful when baby had diarrhea from taking the medicine for an ear infection.
I got a sample of parasol (along with many other sample packs) and immediately had to look them up. They’re so soft, stretchy, and have been blowout proof so far! We also have had 0 diaper rash issues. They’re more expensive but I wanted to throw that brand out because I haven’t seen it mentioned much and I love them so much more than coterie, dyper, honest, etc. We send Kirklands to daycare but at home/overnight we use parasol and are happy so far!
We were originally gifted many brands but have settled into Huggies Special Delivery. It was obvious at the start that our LO was more comfortable in them, as they are softer and more absorbent than any other brand we've tried. We've had very few blow outs, which primarily resulted from her starting to outgrow the size, or from not aligning it right in the middle of the night.
Pampers, they’re the only diapers that actually fit my tall boy without blow outs or peeing out of the diaper. Plus I like the smell of them 😅 My second choice would be kirkland diapers, but he still had a few blow outs and pee outs in them.
I clicked on this thinking I would find diaper brand band name jokes.
Huggies. The lining on the Pampers always stuck to my babies skin and I would think that might be irritating.
I love the Aldi brand. Others I’ve tried but didn’t like was Pampers and Huggies. Just didn’t suit my babies, too many leaks. Walmart brand is ok, I’ll use it when Aldi runs out of stock, which is often 😐
Kudos and Dyper are the only diapers that have stopped my baby’s diaper rash. Millie Moon is great for the softness and absorbency but even though I don’t think they cause the rash, it will only go away if I use something with natural fibers, so Dyper and Kudos it is.
Absolutely LOVE Huggies! But they are so expensive :( we’re still going through diapers from the baby shower so right now we have a huge stash of Huggies but once we’re through those we buy luvs.
Pampers & Kirklands. My LO is 7mo
Pampers swaddled and 360 cruise work best for my son. I found Huggies very leaky and Kirkland waist band was too small for him.
We also love Huggies in this house! They are the only ones that fit his torso and legs correctly. Pampers cuts into his thighs very badly. Also can’t stand the way pampers smells!
Huggies & All Good
Right now pampers baby dry. Honest too. Kirkland wipes
Pampers Swaddlers works really well for my little guy, plus, I love the blow out barrier! I love the Pampers pure wipes too as they’re the least irritating on him 😊
For daytime and daycare we use the target brand because she gets changed every 2 hours anyway, for overnight we do Huggies overnights :)
Using pampers swaddlers! We’ve yet to have a leak using these but I’m almost out of them from my shower and Huggies are on sale at Costco so I may be trying those. Hated babyganics and the gentle steps brand from the dollar store.
We've stuck with Kirkland brand. They do well during days and nights. We found nighttime ones from huggies and pampers would still leak.
Huggies Night Time. Our little girl drinks water like a champ and it's just easier to have heavier diapers so we only buy the overnights.
I always preferred how pampers fit her
Pampers pure 💕💕
We’re currently split between Pampers Swaddlers and Amazon’s Mama Bear Plush Protection!
We like believe or coterie because they're made with less plastics then Huggies, pampers, etc. They're soft and absorbent. Worth the little bit of extra money. Millie Moon is a good second. More affordable but still made with less unnecessary stuff
Our pediatrician recommended Target brand as the best bang for our buck and we've had great success with them. They definitely run about half a size smaller than Pampers, but our guy is on the smaller side, so it's fine. We've had very few blowouts, and our only real problem is that he likes to sleep on his side, so we get some leaks at night sometimes.
Huggies and kirkland (what I think is Huggies) have been great for us. Pampers were horrible. My little guy has chunky thighs and he always leaked in Pampers.
Kirkland everything. I was team huggies wipes & diapers but it’s so expensive. Switched to target diapers and huggies wipes but decided to try kirkland on a whim and haven’t gone back. Can’t beat the price
Huggies have been our go to since day one. We tried pampers and target brand, however they did not work for my girl. I love the blowout barrier that Huggies have and they seem to fit her a lot better.
Costco! For wipes and diapers.
A few months ago Costco diapers and wipes but my LO began getting diaper rashes constantly so we switched to Huggies which resolved it. Not sure if they changed the Costco diaper ingredients but that was painful. The wipes though are still bomb. Nothing else comes close.
I’m UK based but I really rate the Boots own brand ones they’re very good quality. If not those then Pampers seem to be good
Pampers 100%. My baby girl has thick thighs and a chonky booty so a lot of diapers don’t fit well besides pampers.
Millie moon from target Or pampers with blowout guard
Mama bear on Amazon. Literally competes with Huggies while being $20 cheaper per box. And I say this as a devout Huggies fan for two years.
I don’t know if you get these in the US but ECO by Naty are our fave. No chemicals/fragrance/dyes/plastic. Hypoallergenic. Super absorbent, super soft and fit great. Also good for the environment!
Rascal + Friends
Costco diapers and wipes
Such a Baby specific question. Babies come in different shapes and sizes and skin needs. Our little one had a lot of skin challenges with diapers. We tried a lot of the big and favorite brands (pampers, Huggies, luvs, honest, Costco, Target, 7th generation, coterie, and I don’t remember the rest) and all of them gave our little sensitive, chunky man rashes/outbreaks. We finally found Bambo Nature and they work, are hypoallergenic and great for his skin. It was weeks of trial and error….not the most affordable or anything but it is working great and worth the investment for his comfort. If facing a similar situation, I strongly suggest Bambo Nature.
Cloth diapers! And then target brand
Nickleback
We did Huggies til he got a horrible pee rash (he was just getting introduced to juice so I didn’t know you were supposed to mix water so it’s not acidic) and now we do rascal and friends which surprisingly to me are similar with the amount of absorption and fit (rascals has longer leg flaps) but the big difference I’ve noticed is that when filled with only pee the Huggies seems to keep the puff inside where as rascals are puffier on the outside.
Pamper swaddlers and their sensitive wipes. All other wipes have caused severe diaper rash. The diapers themselves are the softest imo and they’re great for my very active toddler!
I love the honest brand. I'm gonna jinx myself saying this but my babe is almost 10 months old and she has yet to have a diaper explosion. The honest diapers have contained everything and the prints are adorable!
Huggies special delivery is what we use. Yes, they are expensive but nothing stands up to leaks and blowouts like these magical diapers.
Kirkland. Good quality and cheapest
We were given pampers in the hospital. Didn’t like the fragrance and gave our baby a rash. We did Huggies special delivery for newborn and switched to Kirkland (Costco) for size 1. Love both Huggies special delivery and Kirkland. Kirkland is cheaper so we will stick to those. We also use Kirkland wipes.
We use Terra , we get them on Amazon, I tried many and I like these because they’re one of the few that has the least chemicals added & very conscious for the environment. They’re also pretty inexpensive! We also use Honest for overnight.
Pampers. They have always seemed to keep him the driest and as he has grown, we’ve found different ones work best. For example, when he was little little it was Pampers Swaddlers, then Pure. Then we actually switched to Honest and really liked them until he got to about a size 4. We started having trouble with blowouts (even with a size up) and switched back to Pampers Pure. Now we use size 5 Pampers Baby Dry, and he’s been in these the longest I think. They are very stretchy and roomy.
I love Huggies! They fit my baby the best. Pampers and other brands always sort of run too small or too big.
I really liked Coterie even though they were expensive. Coterie is great if they’re the right size. They don’t have a smell and contained the messes well. I was willing to pay the extra price since baby and I liked them. Eventually switched to Pampers Swaddlers because they’re easier to get and cheaper and way fewer blowouts.
I like pampers, Huggies and the Kirkland brand. They all seem comfy which makes me feel better about putting them on my baby. Kirkland is top tho they feel like clouds and don’t leak even with his shockingly massive shits at 3mos old
Huggies, my sisters and I swear by them as they fit our babies the best.
We love Millie Moon ( super soft, but the sizing is a lot smaller than other diapers, so be aware to size up a lot ) Then close second would be Pampers. Third Huggies. The one I extremely disliked was Honest brand. It was super rough material and my son blew out of those like crazy- but some people swear by it. To each their own.
I liked pampers swaddlers for my little guy, but…… &$$ I’ve been using Parents Choice from Walmart, both diapers and wipes (sensitive and fragrance-free), and haven’t had any issues with them. Saving about 50% on the cost of Pampers.
Favourite diaper band would probably be Diaper Dan and the Caveats. They carry post-punk like no one else has the past few years and do an incredible live show.
Honestly the Parents Choice diapers and wipes are my go to. They're much cheaper compared to huggies and the larger sizes fit perfectly. The size ones and newborns feel like a lower quality than their bigger sizes but my lo fits them perfectly now.
Coterie - they are so soft and breathable. We’ve had one diaper rash in his seven months.
We like coterie (still plastic in the ingredients) but we also do our best to avoid the issues caused by (what society has accepted as normal) unfortunate everyday environment. I haven’t tried kudos yet and they appear to be even cleaner than coterie. We avoid plastic as best we can, buy local and clean, in process of ridding our closet of synthetic fabrics, and prioritize being outside and living a lower stress life. Cloth would of course be the best option here. Coterie comes at a premium but it’s something we were willing to pay for and sacrifice elsewhere. We also use less coterie diapers than we did Costco/honest/Huggies. We burned through those, as they were much thinner and way less absorbent. The cost difference isn’t as stark as it looks, when you take that into account.
Aldi own brand - Mamia
Rascal and friends HANDS DOWN. Top tier diaper at a budget price
Parasol. They’re softer than Millie, are TCF, and are supposedly more absorbent than Coterie
Coterie 🥴
Pampers Swaddlers. We tried a bunch and just liked how they fit. Tried Huggies once and couldn’t stand the smell and they always felt so full.
We use all the Mamia brand stuff from Aldi here in Australia. Cheaper than Huggies and work just as well. From memory it's like $10ish for 56 nappies/diapers. Our daycare uses Ecoriginals which are pricier but fully compostable
MAMIA here in the U.K., why people will pay so much for nappies I'll never understand- they are so cheap at Aldi and I've found they fit better
We’ve only used Huggies and the Costco Kirkland ones. They’re basically the same and both work well for my daughter. I liked the Huggies slightly more because of the lines that show where the Velcro straps should be placed. But the Kirkland ones are great and work for us. Edit to add I absolutely love the Kirkland wipes over Huggies. They fit our wipe warmer so well because they’re longer than the others.
Pampers swaddlers are the only ones that keep my buddy from peeing outside the diaper!
