I never have, but why not just buy a pack a give them a try?
Have a small pack of name brands handy, just in case.

Have you considered using amazon mom? You get 15% off for being a member and then another 15% off for using subscribe and save (which I always cancel and resubscribe for when I need diapers again) and free two day shipping for two months. Every time you spend $25, before discounts, you get another month of free prime (2 day) shipping, up to a year. I have found that name brands (I prefer Huggies) are cheaper or about the same as store brands and definitely cheaper than going to Target w/coupons or Costco. Plus, you never have to leave your house! I only have one in pull-ups at night now, but I wish I would have known about this with all of my kids, instead of just with my fourth. Check into it!

I have not tried Dollar General, but most of the cheap brands don't cost that much less. They are packaged differently, and it may be only a $5 pack, but if you are only getting 21 diapers, it is not a good deal.
I always use my phone calculator and figure out the cost per diaper, and compare that to Target. I used to pay 19 cents per size 5 diaper at Target. Walgreens size 5 are 28 cents/piece! Now we have moved onto pull-ups at night only since my son uses the potty all day. Those are 45 cents each. Which seems like a lot, but It's less than $20 a month, and if he wakes up dry, I reuse it the next night. So I think I'm probably paying $10 a month now.
Anyway, just remember to look at the cost per piece, and if the generic diapers are cheaper and don't absorb as much, then maybe it's not worth saving a few cents/diaper.

Personally, I don't like generic diapers because Luvs are cheaper, often, than generics (if you buy them at Target, they are!), coupons are easy to get for them, and to ME, they work a lot better. Try them out.

I just used Dollar General diapers last week . I was low on monery and ran out of diapers when I thought I had another pack. The DG brand is ok. My son did leak out one night but he also drank right before bed after I changed im so maybe that's why. I usually buy LUVS. They are 7.50 at DG and DG brand diapers are 6.00 in out area so not much of a dfference. Next time I will just spend the extra 1.50 on the luvs. The DG were good for me being broke but I wouldn't make them my regular diaper.

I am obsessed with diapers.com generic brand diapers. They are called Diapers.com Premium Diapers. We used Huggies, then switched to Target brand before I found this website. This awesome company has the best generic diapers I have ever used. I even like them more than huggies and they are MUCH less expensive. Also, they ship them right to your door in 2 days (sometime just 24 hours) and shipping is free if you buy more than $49. That is easy to do, as they also sell baby wipes and any other baby product you need. They have excellent customer service.

I can't say enough about Diapers.com. I do not work for them or know anyone who does. I just love their diapers and service. I tell every new mom I meet about it.

Here's a coupon code to get you started. 15OFFDEAL this code will get you $10 off your first order and Diapers.com will donate $10 to the american red cross.

sorry, never tried the "dollar general" brand, but I did have to buy the "SAVE" brand at a gas station when camping - UGH!
didn't absorb, ran right off and onto clothes. . . and some cause extreme diaper rash so to combat, you use more destin, etc. . .
I do like the Walmart and Taget generics . . . but, Hey, you can definately give the DG brand a try as others suggest.

I have not tried the Dollar gender brand, but thought I would offer another option. I have not read your other responses, but thought I would suggest trying Amazon.com/mom or diapers.com
We use Amazon and have our diapers shipped for free each month. If you do subscribe and save (which you can cancel a subscription at anytime) and are an amazon mom memeber you can save 30% on diaper orders. I have saved even more when a coupon is available on Amazon (just click to clip) or a few baby or parenting magazines offer coupons off diaper orders. I LOVE this option, because it saves me a trip to the store, I don't pay tax on the order and I can get the brand we use for less then the target, walmart or shopko brand. Thought I would suggest checking it out! Good luck with baby #2.
