Diapers - Westerville,OH
My daughter has a 4 month old baby. With her first baby it was only pampers that she used. She would like to find a good diaper that is less expensive for second little.one. What do you think of Costco diapers? or any other ones that you have used and liked.
Thanks for you suggestions!

I love costco diapers. Used to use pampers and then switched to Costco. I have rarely had blowouts with them.

White Cloud was about all I would use. I hated Pampers. I never had any luck with them without fail they would explode at night and I would have a sleeper leg full of gel beady things falling out of the floor that are impossible to clean up. Huggies and Luvs smelled funny on my kids. White clouds did not have the gel, or the smell, and unless I just didnt get it changed when it needed it I seldom had one leak. I would occassionally buy Members Mark which were probably the same as White Cloud with a different store name. We do not have a Target where I live and WalMarts are everywhere so I could always get them too.

Kroger sells fantastic diapers! I don't know if they are brand of Kroger or if it's just something you can buy there but it's in a really bright green package. I LOOOOOOOOVED these diapers! And best part is, you get about a trillion of them for like 20 cents... OK, maybe not that good on price but still, awesome!

When my kids were newborns I only used Pampers newborn and sizes 1 and 2 because they are nice and soft. After they got a little older I switched to store brands because they are much cheaper. I like Kroger brand but I have also tried Target and Walmart. If you want to buy in bulk you could go with Costco.
Some people on here use cloth but to me it just seems like it would be so messy and I already do enough laundry!! But I guess it is just a matter of preference.

If she really wants to save $, would she consider cloth or even cloth hybrids?I'm doing this with my 3rd and LOVING it, especially helping the environment.
The easiest to use is an AIO (all-in-one) diaper that velcros on and the whole thing is tossed in the wash. I recommend Bum Genius. Nicki's Diapers offers 15 day trials.
Bum Genius also makes pocket diapers, which are stuffed with a more absorbent cloth insert or two - BG 4.0's, which will hold more liquid; I have a set of these I use at night for less frequent changes (4:30 a.m.).
Then there are the hybrid systems, where you use a cloth cover with a cloth insert OR a biodegradable pulp insert. The cloth cover can usually be used a few times a day; I alternate between 2-3 covers/day. There are 3 systems I know of: Bum Genius FLIP (one size, adjusted by snaps, so you buy once), GroVia (also one size, adjusted by snaps), and gDiapers (3 sizes). I use the G's and the GroVia. I use the cloth inserts at home, the biodegradable/flushable disposable inserts when out. THIS is what sold the G's to me: http://www.amazon.com/gDiapers-Ruffle-Little-gPants-Mediu... The ruffle bums are discontinued due to new colors but they still have some here.
There is LESS stink, not more, with cloth. Yes, less. Wet bags are key. I alternate two XL wet bags from Monkey Foot Designs hanging from the changing table. I also use cloth terry wipes and "wipe cubes" to make my own wipe solution; this is a HUGE savings. It really takes no more time than it would to go out and buy diapers at the store. To wash, empty the wet bag into the machine (buy detergent brands you see listed on diapering websites and they are good for dipes), wash on HOT with a prewash and extra rinse. Line dry or dry in dryer. Dipes last longer if air dried, but you'll need to have a larger "stash" in order to have enough available. And, you can sell them used on diaperswappers.com.
As for the disposable inserts, the best deal out there is to sign up for Amazon Mom and get delivery; they will cost 30% less! Feel free to message me if you have questions.

Has she looked on Amazon.com for diapers? They're having 30% off for a limited time with free shipping to your house on many name brand diapers like Huggies and Pampers. I have gotten hooked on the savings! : )
Anyhow, with a baby that young, I never used anything other then the Pampers or Huggies since my kids were so prone to diaper rash. Good luck!

I used costco's Kirkland brand diaper with zero problems. They did not appear in anyway different than name brands. We buy the kirkland wipes too, best deal and a nice soft wipe that doesn't feel like it a generic wipe!

For my sons, we've used Pampers up to about size two, then went to the Target brand. My two-year-old is still in them (size four, Target) and they even hold up through the night.
I like the polka dots. I also get a lot of positive comment about them being cute when other mamas see them.
Pampers always has coupons and lately my Target has been printing them out at the register, too. These can be used together.

We are a Huggies family, but my friend used Costco diapers and really liked them.
