Diapers Diapers Diapers!

Ever wonder if generic diapers work just as good as the big name brands? Well wonder no more. I tested out 9 different diapers to find out the answer!

Our contestants!

Pampers baby dry
Huggies
Huggies jean diapers
Huggies naturals.
Luvs
Cvs Brand
Rite Aid brand
Walmart brand (parents choice)
Target brand

All were tested over night to see which ones would leak and all were tested for a week or however long the pack lasted.

Pampers- One of the top brands of diapers. Not only are they great for diaper blow outs, but baby dry actually has a nice fresh powdery scent that I wish was bottled up into a perfume lol. Pampers held out great thru the night and had virtually no leaks thru the night! It's really no wonder they are such a top brand. They are def at the top of the list. Normally have seasame street prints =)

Huggies- Another top brand. I can say I like huggies..they aren't bad but they did tend to leak a little bit over night. Not as much as others tho but my little guy did have a little bit of dampness in the morning. Normally have pooh bear or micky mouse printeted on them =)

Huggies Jean diapers- Okay, yes, I did have to try these out. I mean how freaking cute are they?? Well to be honest the outside material is a bit thicker than a normal huggies diaper. Which is understandable since they are going with a denim print..and most parents will probably just put a t-shirt on with them..so being a bit thicker is fine. Now I have to admit, a lot of people thought these were just stupid. BUT I have to admit they held up GREAT. No leaks in the morning what-so-ever. They are a little more pricey than normal huggies..but I mean cmon..how much cuter can you get? They def hold up well and I would def buy them again.

Huggies Naturals- Going green but don't want to do the whole cloth diaper thing? Consider these. They are made of recycled materials and are actually pretty cute. Most of them have pooh bear on them with a cute little tree. But did they work? Somewhat. I used these on my son when he got a diaper rash from another brand. The rash went away but these diapers were def not recommended for over night use. There were def some leaks! I did like that they were on the green side, but I didnt like having to pull wet Pj's off my little guy.


Luvs- Ohh luvs. At one time you were a big name brand...but now you're found at places like big lots, roses, and other bargain stores. But, I decided to give them a try anyway. The first time my son peed in them they buldged out everywhere. He def looked like he had been sitting in a sagy diaper for hours when it had only been 30 minutes. But they didnt leak so I went ahead and gave them the night time test. They did leak a little bit, com[areable to the huggies. Not much, but a little bit which surprised me considering how much they bulged up earlier. I was actually kind of impressed with how they didn't leak. I was expecting my child to be soaked come morning but he wasn't. They normally have blue clues prints.

CVS Brand- Ahh our first generic contestant. Now, out of all the diapers I tested, these were def the cutest! Anyone recall that cartoon Caillou? (s/p) Well that's what printed on them sort of..they are covered with cute little jungle animals and such and were prettyy cute! But did they work? Amazingly, YES. Not only were they cute, but they didn't leak! I was actually very impressed by this considering I never wanted to put my kid in generic diapers. (Actually, I sent my husband to the store for diapers, and he came back with these generics on accident, instead of returning them I figured we'd try them out). So all in all I am actually happy with this brand. If pampers is sold out I have no problem reaching for CVS brand diapers instead!

Rite Aid- Our second Generic contestant! Now these ones are no where near as cute as the others (not that cute matters but hey if you have to look at a diaper sometimes you want them to be cute right?). These diapers are called "Tuggaboos". I wasn't that impressed with them honestly. They were def on the leaky side at night. They worked okay thru out the day ...if you were constantly changing about 12 diapers a day. Not that great if you had to go out and run errands for a few hours. I wouldn't recommend them.

Walmart (Parent's choice)- Out of all the diapers I've tested, I hated these the most. Not only did the tabs not stick on right..but they leaked everywhere. I tried making the tabs stick and it wouldnt work, making it easy for my child to pull them off and run around naked. They also leaked the worst out of all 9 types I tried out. I really was not impressed. I would not recommend.

Target- Our last contestant was a pleasant surprise. Not only are these diapers cute (green and blue polka dots) but they actually held up really well. They didnt leak much at all over night. They were a tad bit damp when I took them off but honestly it was not much at all. I am actually very impressed with Target generic diapers. I would use them again.


So in my experience Pampers, CVS brand, and Target brand were actually some of the best diapers I had used. Yupp 1 big name and 2 generic brands topped my charts followed closely by the huggies jean diapers, Luvs, and normal huggies.

Parent's choice and rite aid were def at the bottom of my list and the others were in the middle.

I hope this helped you out a bit if you were questioning the use of generics!

***Please keep one thing in mind tho. I have a boy. Some diapers work better for different genders due to the positioning of their parts.
