Gasp, My Baby Is Wearing Generic


I confess, I have been a diaper brand snob. Up until recently every pack of diapers I stockpiled was either a Huggies or Pampers pack. Even Luvs wasn’t good enough for me.

But the great sales Walgreens has had on their store brand diapers were too good for me to pass up. This week I decided to rip open a package and boy was I pleasantly surprised!

In my opinion Walgreens brand diapers are very similar to Huggies brand diapers. They are very absorbent although I still haven’t tried them overnight on my eight month old. But they make the cut during the day. My son is also on solids now and past the initial days of explosive diapers so I can’t give a recommendation for their performance on smaller babies.

The only odd thing about them I have found is that they have a small gathering in the front of the diaper. I don’t understand why that is there. The tabs are a little stiff but they have kept in place so far. But you can see in the picture they fit the baby very well.

I just wanted to give you my impression of these diapers. I know a lot of people have been hesitant to try them. I wrote earlier this week about a way to get them cheap. But you can read how Christina at Northern Cheapskate made the deal even sweeter here.

I know there are other people out there who have tried them, I would love to hear your impressions. Would you recommend them for smaller babies? have they worked out overnight for you?
