Diapers: Pampers vs Huggies vs Kirkland vs Parents Choice

Let’s talk diapers for a moment.  Diapers are one of the biggest expenses you will have for a new child.  Let’s not kid ourselves either, not all diapers are made equal and not all are worth the cost.  We’ve tried 4 brands of diapers in our family Huggies, Pampers, Parents Choice, and Kirkland.

Here’s what we found:

1. Huggies – They leak, don’t waste your money.
2. Pampers – Work great but expensive.  Since diapers puff up when filled, do you really need an indicator strip?
3. Parents Choice – Are too stretchy and they leak too much of the absorbent stuff.  I didn’t feel conformable with them.
4. Kirkland Brand Diapers (From Costco) – Just as good as Pampers and the lowest priced diaper out of the three.  Even compared to Amazon.com purchases.  The only bad thing is that they are only available after newborn sizes and start at size 1-2, size 3 and up is good too!

So …. Save some money and go to Costco.
