So what kind of diapers do you, or plan to use? I was going to go with huggies since its what me and my sister wore, and my mom said they are great. Last night I got some presents, and they included a pack of luvs... I was talkin to my mom and she said luvs are a good brand to go with too, and not as expensive as huggies. So now im thinking about going with luvs.

I go with what best fits my pocket, it all does the same job. But I do prefer pampers because they smell really good.

Well right now I have a bunch of different brands that I got from friends and family, so I guess I will see which works best and fits in my budget!

*i have to admit though i've been practicing the diaper thing on my month old niece and I have a pee diaper change down with all the works(rash ointment, powder, etc) in 30 seconds flat! Lol

I use pampers swaddlers, mostly because of the design on the front and back, and I also use huggies. I also buy one package of generic each week!!

Well both my neices used pampers and some offbrands when we were on a budget. We noticed that with the other kinds they got soggy really fast and had a funky smell to them, but pampers were just fine. I am gonna do what alma did, she used pampers at night so they wont be over soggy and then use a cheaper brand during the day. Or whatever I have coupons for lol.

But you should try different kinds to see which ones works better for you. Like that dont soak easy, dont smell, dont give them rashes, things like that.

My coworker is older and she used cloth diapers and she said she loved it. Im not sure how to make a cloth diaper but she said it saved her all kinds of money and she only used diapers on trips. But I dont think I can do that lol

Lol well if I hand wash it would be free because our water is paid, and our washer is only 75 cents and to dry is 50 cents. So its cheaper than 12.99 pack of diapers lol. Oh well. Id rather do diapers, im not a laundry person!

I love doing laundry! I will just sit my big butt in front of the t.V. And fold a couple loads! Lol however scrapping poop out of a diaper and washing it is a much different story! Not to mention I would probably put in on wrong and then end up staining some of her clothes! Laughing

Thats not true and kinda offensive. There is no such thing as only poor people buy them. I know that if there are diapers for 10.00 and others for 20.00 im gonna get the cheaper ones because why spend more money on a diaper that works for the same reason?? And I might be on a budget but im sure as hell not poor. And neither are alot of girls here.

The most expensive brand could give ur baby a diaper rash I use the off brand and im proud of it what u think ur better than all of us?? Lol far from it I dont need some new girl comeing on here causing controversy just b/c u use an off brand does not mean ur baby isnt going to have things. My baby has the world I use an off brand b/c I kno how to budget my money and I kno wat to spend a lot of money on and wat not to.
