Are Luvs Diapers Any Good?

We've had good luck with Luvs. But if you're trying to save money AND you have a Sam's card (or know someone who does), the Sam's brand (Smiles) was even more leakproof than Panpers, Luvs, Huggies, etc., for us. We just adopted a son, but we're using Pampers because his skin is chafing and they are the softest. But I think Smiles held better. I used to buy Luvs for my daughter when I couldn't get to Sam's, and they did fine.

Another thing I noticed about leakproof-ness is the shape of the child and the shape of the diaper, so what worked for me might not work for you.

We use Luvs diapers for our 4 mo. old girl & I like them a lot. We have a 3 yr old boy & we used Pampers w/ him-Huggies didn't work but I never tried Luvs w/ him, but they work GREAT for her - can hold a lot! They are much cheaper and I signed up online to get coupons for Luvs & received 2-$2.50 off coupons right away...not bad to get 50 diapers for $4.47 :) I think if you have a SAMS or COSTCO membership you can try those & return them if they don't work; other than that, I would try buying small pckgs until you find one that fits & is affordable. Good luck!!

We use Luvs during the day and the Huggies overnights, those work best for our 18 month boy. Have tried the Target brand, and the Parent's Choice at Walmart, and they both worked well for us too.

My SIL loves LUVS for her boys. For my kids, they never held enough. I was changing diapers so frequently, and the diaper rash was terrible. I've used Huggies, Target brand, WalMart brand, Sam's Club brand, Luvs, and Pampers. Because of cost and how much they hold and no diaper rash, we go with the diapers from Sam's Club. The membership is $40 annually, but we've counted the cost and with two kids in diapers plus getting wipes there, we had a net savings of well over $150 (compared to buying Huggies at other stores)-and that doesn't include the discounts we got on milk, baby food, other types of food, cleaners, etc.

i used luvs on all 4 of my kids because i liked them the best....pampers gave my kids rashes.....one day the store was out of luvs so i had to buy huggies & my husband said "dont buy these anymore they suck"......we had to keep changing the kids & they leaked through them.

I LOVE the HEB brand. They have a couple different ones that vary slightly in price but all are well worth the money (and definately cheaper than Luvs, Pampers, or Huggies. I used the brand names when my kids were newborn and switched when they got a little older. My favorite HEB ones have Shrek on them. We have never had an issue with leaks. Try out a few different store brands and see what you like best. Good luck and happy saving!

I had great success with Luvs. We started out in the Pampers more expensive brands and moved to Luvs just before my daughter turned a year old. It depends on the shape of your baby...Huggies never worked for us. Neither did any of the store brands as she was always having some sort of allergic reaction--I tried HEB, Wal-Mart, CVS, Target store brands.

However, while Target very often had some good deals on Luvs, I didn't find so many coupons as they are already quite low priced.

Blow outs happen with all diapers. It depends on your baby's particular patterns.

We've always used Luvs and they work great. We used to use Huggies overnights but now that my son is older and not drinking so close to bedtime, Luvs is just fine even overnight.

I use Luvs during the day and the Huggies overnights at night for my 2 year old. I've never had a problem during the day with the Luvs. As a matter of fact just yesterday we were running around all morning and my son wasn't changed from about 9:30 am to 3 pm (running errands and he was asleep when we got home so we let him take his nap) and his Luvs did not leak.

Good luck,

Personally, Luvs didnt work for my girls. I used Pampers as newborn then switched to the Target brand Up & Up. They are sooo good. I had my best friends and sis in law switch over too. And they are less expensive as well.

I didn't have any luck with them. She would leak out the sides of them. Drugstore diapers are pretty good, like CVS and Walgreens and Target.

I used Pampers originally when coming home from the hospital with my first baby. I was totally in love with their "wetness strip." As a first time mom, having the strip answer that question "is he wet?" took just that one thing off my mind and I loved them. But, they were pricey...

Once I got the hang of the diapers, we switched to luvs. They're far cheaper and work like a charm! I've used them all the way up to about 18 months or so... They still work, no blow outs or anything, but they gape a bit at the back and give my son a plumbers crack when he's playing at the playground! lol So, I've switched to huggies cuz they have the elasticized back.

We never had any luck, day or night, with Huggies. By far the best diapers we found that never leaked and could hold a ton was the Costco brand generic diaper. Way better than anything else out there. Just by chance I used Luvs for the first time this week as we haven't been to Costco for awhile and they seem to work ok. Target brand also works pretty good. But if your child really pees alot at night, I would suggest Costco.

I have twins and I am not loyal to any brand. I prefer Huggies over Pampers but to save money I buy store brand. Luvs are fine for day, I find they are thinner in padding and don't fit as snug. The best brand I have found so far for the money is Parent's Choice. They seem to be padded more and they contain diaper blowouts fine during the day. I also have used them for nighttime without a booster and they work well. I get a big value box of size 3 with 144 diapers for $18.

Luvs are better than Huggies or Parents choice, I have found that out after much trial and error. I have had no leaking from the Luvs. I say babies are different, so what works for me, may not work for you.

You should just try a small package of Luvs and see how they work for your baby. I used Luvs for my first two kids without many leaks, but they didn't work as well with my third, so we use Huggies for her. The best deal I've found without coupons is at Sam's Club; I can get 176 size 4 Huggies diapers for $37.98 (204 size 3, 288 size 1-2). They also carry Pampers, but they aren't quite as good a deal (184 size 2, 112 size 3 for $38.77).

We love Luvs... that is all I used on my kids. I really didn't prefer store brand and I was able to get Luvs cheaper at the military commissary than at Walmart. We weren't able to afford Pampers/Huggies, but Luvs was just as good.

We loved our Luvs :)

Good luck!

We found pampers did not work for us at all. We use Huggies brand all the time. Sam's Club has really great prices for diapers. http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/search.do?searchtype=sim...
they even carry pampers. I never used luvs though. Nor the Members Mark brand of diapers. I did however use the Members Mark brand of formula. It was the same ingredients (and instructions) as the brand name...i did ask pedi before doing that.

I love Luvs! We used Pampers for a bit, then tried Luvs and found no difference between the two. So, we buy only Luvs now.

We used Luvs with my first daughter till we switched to cloth. I never had any issues with them. I think it just depends on how your child is shaped. Pampers leaked like crazy for us. Huggies and Luvs were our best option. I get a TON of coupons for diapers. Look on the manufacturers websites. Lots of times you can sign up for their newsletter and they'll send you coupons.

I use the parents choice diapers from WalMart and have never had a problem with them. I used them with all 3 of my boys. $13 for the big box

Love them! I used Luvs for my daughter (now 4) and now for my little guy (6 months old). I tried other brands but found they were too bulky or didn't hold up as well or just too expensive. I do like Pampers but I truly feel that I get the same results with Luvs for a much better price. I wouldn't use anything else and I love the fact that I am saving money. I never had had a problem with leaks or diaper rashes with Luvs for either my daughter or my son.

We use Luvs and they work great. I've never had a problem with blowouts or leaks. I do use a Pampers at night for sleeping, but other than that, we use Luvs exclusively.

I don't like their wipes though, but the diapers are great.

I started with pampers , but as my daughter grew & got mobile, her pampers started to leak. So I changed & tried all kinds. Luvs was the only ones that worked. Quality is important to me but I found that you sometimes get a better fit with different brands. For my son, Luvs were awful. I started with pampers on him too and ended using Huggies for the best fit. Hope this helps. Oh. When I was looking to change brands, I would do a diaper swaps with firends so I could try.

Not in my experience. Pampers is the only way to go (in my opinion). I was given an assortment of diapers, in every brand I know of, at my baby shower. So, I thought I'd use them all... Didn't happen. I would try each brand (other than Pampers) once and throw the rest away. They were all horrible. Huggies and Luvs really annoyed me. Anyway, Pampers is the only diaper that worked for us and the only brand I'll use if I have another child. :)

Luvs are ok, but the Target brand is just as good and costs several dollars less. Pampers are by far the best diapers around, in my opinion.

I like Pampers.....no leaks.

Luvs are actually made by the same company as Pampers. I used Luvs with my son and almost never had leaks in three years of using them. When I tried Luvs with my second child, my daughter, we had too many leaks. The same for Huggies and for Pampers Baby Dry. So we are having to buy the Pampers Cruisers and try to get coupons as often as possible. I'd say try a small package of Luvs during the day and see how it goes.

I used Luvs on my first 2 children then switched to Huggies for my other 2. I love Pampers as well but, they don't sell them at Costco. Did you know Luvs and Pampers are created by the same company?

I used Luvs after trying lots of brands for my children. They didn't blow out like some of the others did. I felt like they were the best value for the money, hands down.

I used Pampers while my son was little, but found once he got to the cruisers I had to find an alternative because neither the cruisers or baby dry fit his butt right and we had many problems with leakage. I tried huggies once because they were given to me and refused to go back to them. So continues trying many differant brands and finally settled with luvs and truly LOVED them. He was able to wear them through the night without any problems and they fit his butt just as I had hoped. I suggest trying them. They are well worth the savings. However I do plan on sticking with Pampers when we have another child until they get a little older and then if we come across the same problem I will probably end up giving luvs a shot again right away.
