“What brand of diapers will you be using?”


Anyone who has ever had a baby or is about to has heard the question, "What brand of diapers will you be using? Some will swear that there is no difference between brands, while others are fiercely loyal to one or the other. I never thought about much of it when I first thought about diapers. I just thought they were all pretty much the same and you just go pick whatever. After few researches I have made over the Internet and reading people’s opinion, I have found out that Huggies diapers, manufactured by Kimberly Clarke, and Pampers diapers, manufactured by Proctor and Gamble, are probably the two best known brands of diapers.

For our little girl that is about to be born I think we will go ahead and try Pampers since I have heard that Pampers Swaddlers work the very best for newborn babies. They are made in such a fashion that they are soft enough to not irritate a newborn baby's skin. Also, the top band of the diaper reaches to just under the umbilical cord stump, so as to not irritate that sensitive area. The Pampers Swaddlers also feature very good Velcro-like side closures. When we took the parenting class the hospital also mentioned that pampers Swaddlers are typically the brand of diaper that are handed out in the hospital when the baby is born. So we will let you know if we made a good choice or not.

Yes, I agree! Pampers swaddlers for size N-2 all the way! After size 3 I find that the cheaper brands are fine--there isn't much difference with older kids for some reason. We buy the cheap huggies at Sam's now. I have heard costco kirkland brand is good also.
