I've tried my hardest to get away with using whatever was on sale vrs the brand name diapers for most of Connor's life so far... but I began to realize that though those cheaper diapers might seem like a great "deal" at the time, once you venture into springing a leak, especially in public you might rethink that.
My first experience with extreme leaks was during our last teething session. Though Connor was not a super drooling baby he had awful diarrhea for over two weeks, we are talking full on water poop (sorry for the graphic image in your head) for TWO WEEKS.. I seriously thought he might dehydrate and blow away before he would ever get over the diarrhea. Past panicking about his hydration, those cheaper diapers do nothing.. and I mean NOTHING for liquid poo.
After that experience I figured it was about time I really get serious about finding something better. We decided to give Pampers a try and so far I can happily report we have had no major leaks to date since the switch. I noticed immediately that they seemed actually thinner than our store brand diapers which concerned me a bit at first, but once he got the first one wet I realized why. Instead of using a ton of padding to soak up the mess there is a liner inside the diaper that expands only once the baby gets wet. Honestly though my favorite part about the change is generic diapers are not known for being super stretchy. Now that Connor is really moving and starting to try to walk he is ALL over the place. Those stiffer diapers would bunch up or sag a bit, where as the pampers flex and move with him.
Pampers is also offering with every package purchased, one vaccine is purchased for a baby through Unicef, so with every package you buy you are potentially saving another babies life!
Pampers are available at most all grocery stores, and major retailers such as Target and Walmart!

We use cloth, but sometimes when we're out and about I like to use the disposables because I just throw it in my purse... I like the cruisers because my daughter is wiggly. Plus we could always use a package of wipes as we have not gone to cloth wipes yet!
I just checked out the Pampers Website. I loved the Swaddlers when my kids were newborns and infants. Now I think the Cruisers suit us best. My son is on the verge of crawling and my daughter well she is about to be potty trained this summer. We may need some of the training pants, but I am hoping to get by with the cloth ones I purchased along with plastic pants. I think she may train quicker that way, we will see. What a great way to give back with the vaccines.
I blogged about diapering and mentioned your blog. http://ramblingsfromamommy.blogspot.com/
we're Pampers lovers, for sure. At 9 months, Jasper is already wearing the ones Roo was in when she potty trained (size 4 Cruisers). Huggies just don't fit right.
We also like the Gifts to Grow program.
i love the cruisers in the size 3-i have had no leaks, as well.would never try another brand!

I like the website description of Swaddlers. My son gets a diaper rash ALL the time, so the Swaddlers that pull away the moisture would be a lifesaver!

OMG, I didn't realize that Pampers Cruisers go up to size 7! My 2-year-old is already in size 6 diapers and I've been worrying about what we'll do if she's not potty trained before she outgrows them. I'd love to win a package of them for her!
Adding this one to my Contests page and always subscribing... :)
We have a pampers baby....love love love cruisers!!! And the sensitive wipes are great too!

We would use cruisers in size 2 Thanks!

The Easy Ups would be the ones for us. They are both currently training.
I have always used pampers
I'd have to pick the Swaddlers
Pampers Cruisers are the best for us.
I am a single dad (parent) raising 4 children, 10 months, 1 years old, 3 years old and 4 years old, and the CRUISER PAMPERS MAKE IT SO MUCH EASIER DURING CHANGING TIME. I WOULD NOT CHANGE THEM FOR NOTHING IN THE WORLD! THEY HOLD LEAKS BETTER, STAY ON BETTER, AND DOESN'T BOTHER MY CHILDREN'S SKIN! WHAT MORE CAN I ASK FOR? SEND ME SOME MORE!
cruisers in a size 4
The newborn Swaddlers are a favorite. The liile groove in the front makes it that much more comfy.
I use the cruisers for my daughter who just can;t get through the night w/o peeing yet.
I'd pick the cruisers in size 3 for our little guy
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
My 8 month old just moved up from Swaddlers to the Cruisers. My worry was with all his squirming and his urge to start crawling I was going to find that he had a leaky diaper. I am happy to report that the Cruisers are right on - they are super aborbant and they are made for active little ones. I also joined up on the Pampers site the gifts to grow - where you enter in the codes from all your Pampers products and love that they donate a vaccine for every package you buy. I'm just hoping they sell them at the wholesale clubs.

now we are talking i could realy use some i would love to win this give away it would help me out a lot thanks i need a size 4 or 5
My new baby will be here in a few months and I'd love to try the newborn Swaddlers.
I love swaddlers! They feel so comfy!
After trying every diaper out there, the ONLY one we will put on his little behind is Pampers Swaddlers...Would love these! Size 2
bucbratt at hotmail dot com
I would love to win. Pampers comfy fit in size 3!
I always thought Pampers leaked less and produced less allergic reactions. I always had trouble with Luvs and store brands. But they are all so expensive! A necessary evil,though,I think! And I don't buy all this environmental stuff about disposable diapers. Far more beer cans in my local dump than diapers!
Cruisers size 4 for my son!
We used Luvs most of the time with my daughter- they were cheaper and money is always tight! With a new boy coming this summer, I'd just love to have some diapers on hand!! Please enter me!!
num1twinkie at yahoo dot com
im way excited that they come in size 7 as my big guy is on the threshold of growing out of 6! Id definitely want the cruisers and I love the lavender wipes
subscribed to the feed
Wow, with 3 children in diapers, you know this is something that would be much appreciated in this household. I have twins age 2, and a 6 month little dumpling. We use size 4 for the bigger guys and size 3 for the princess. Sometimes, when I'm in a pinch I'll use then interchangably if I run out of one size. Shhhh, don't tell the boys they sometimes wear their sister's diapers. :)

Cruisers would be best for my daughter right now.
Thanks so much for this giveaway. We'd love to try the Swaddlers size 3 if we won. Thanks.
Training pants/ Pull ups- Size 6
My friends' newborn would love the Swaddlers!
We used cloth for our first two children. I ended up diapering them both for about $500 total. The only time we used disposables was when we went on vacation and didn't have convienent access to launder.
My two little granddaughters ages 1 & 2 visit often and I could sure use the cruisers for them. Size 4 please!
I will be using cloth diapers, but I use Newborn Swaddlers until the umbilical cord falls off. Thanks for a great giveaway.

i would love to win some swaddlers for my expecting bf!! thanks so much!!
pampers swaddlers are the best !
The cruisers in a size 4 would be great. Pampers are great diapers.
I love the Cruisers. My son just started walking a few weeks ago, and these seem to work best for a little one on the go. I also love what they are doing with the vaccines. ilovechrisk(at)hotmail(dot)com
The Swaddlers would be great. So many friends swear by them and I am sure they would be excellent for my new nephew expected in May!
I also blogged about the contest here: http://thriftyjinxy.blogspot.com/2008/04/freebie-friday-free-stuff-contests-and_18.html
Pampers Swaddlers are great for newborns. We used those when my daughter was a newborn. We don't use them any more because of the price, but I really do love them. The Pampers Cruisers size 4 are perfect for my daughter! Thanks for the contest! It isn't long for potty training time for us! :D

Swaddlers are #1! Exceptional fit for a newborn.
Size 5 Cruisers are what our Gianna will be ready for next.
Actually, I am a special education teacher with two students in wheelchairs; they are a brother and sister and we always need extra supplies for these kids. The easyups in size 6 would be awesome to have some extra packages for. The parents really have no money and it is a struggle for them. Thanks for the consideration.
i could reallu use this i have two in traing pants and one in diapers.
i'd use the training pants size 5

The cruisers are the ONLY diapers that work for my son! Plus, the swipers wipes are nice and big and thick for those great messes mom gets to clean up!
I used cloth but I know my sister's baby to be could use the swaddlers!!
Cruiser pampers make things simple for me and my little ones. Sure beats a pooper scooper, j/k.
The Pampers Cruisers Size 7 would be perfect for my son. The Swipesters wipes look great also.

Pampers diapers are the only ones I like to use! I have used others, like Huggies, and Tristan just leaks right through them.
The Pampers baby dry work for us!
palmersf(at)bellsouth(dot)net
I think Pampers are the best too! They certainly are worth spending a few extra pennies on. The diapers that would suit us best are the swaddlers in size one.
My daughter is 10 months old and teething. Same story here, lots of poopie diapers and Pampers does the trick, we've only had one leak and that was just cause it crawled up the back. My girl is crawling so I can definitely use the cruisers.
Thanks for the give away!
My absolute favorites are pampers and huggies. i love the texture and design and they move with his little body.

I love Pampers Cruisers. My daughter NEVER holds still, so the not-stretchy store brands just don't work for us anymore.
I love the cruisers in the size 6!!! Please pick me!!!

luv's are the best they don't leak.
We really like Pampers Cruisers. They are the only diaper that actually fits properly. Although we appreciated any box of diapers as gifts, I am glad they are all gone! Now it is pampers all the way!
Pampers are the best! The cheapy diapers really aren't a good deal when you think of the time, laundry, and inconveniences leaky cheap diapers cause! My son wears Pampers Cruisers size 5

I think the cruisers would be best.

We've tried a lot of different diapers and Pampers Swaddlers seem to work the best
pampers cruisers size 4 for for my very active soon to be walking baby.

Cruisers & Baby Dry

I like the cruiers... We have little ones in diapers (i have 5 kids) but when ever I get awards or free samples I donate them to my church to those who can use them and might not have the money.
We like the "Easy Ups" because even though the little one is only 14 months old, she won't lie down for a diaper change, but fully cooperates if changed while standing! We use a size 4.
Pampers Cruisers in size 4 are the ones I would pick. I love name brand diapers (especially Huggies), but they are pricier...so a free box would be wonderful!!
jschonlau at gmail dot com
We use cloth.
We love the swaddlers in my house.
My son is ready (finally!!) for the Easy Ups (size 5)! He's a big boy :)
We could definitely use some Newborn Swaddlers. We are expecting our first baby in June, and everyone has told us that Pampers Swaddlers are the way to go! I'm adding you to my blog roll!
swaddlers size 2 would be my pick
We are pampers fans here, too. My daughter is mostly potty-trained but with a new baby on the way, I'd need some of the swaddlers! Oh, they are so sweet! Tiny!
I am a huge penny-pincher. One thing that I refuse to skimp on is diapers. Yes, Pampers are a little pricy, but they are simply the best and unmatched with any other brand. We love the cruisers!! They never leak and since they pull wetness away from his body, he never gets diaper rash! As my oldest son would say, CRUISERS ROCK! Thanks for the chance to win!

cruisers size 4
We would like the cruisers in a size 4. We are in the middle of teething poopfest and raging diaper rash too . . . so I get what you mean. BUT I use store brand diapers for daycare which work fine since they change the diaper whether wet or dry every 2 hours. Can't afford name brands in that situation . . . and it ain't me cleaning that poop!
Thanks!
suzzcq70@gmail.com
We have a new little one on the way and I love the swaddlers - thank you!
swaddlers are great for new babies...my niece just had one and would really appreciate this gift..hope to win
Swaddlers definitely :D
Thanks awesome giveaway!
I am planning on cloth diapers. If I change my mind definitely Newborn Swaddlers.

We use the Pampers Baby Dry. My 3.5 month old is already in size 3. He's a big boy
We used swaddlers and now use cruisers. Pampers has been the best diaper for us.
Swaddlers for my newborn!
I could use the size 3 cruisers... Thanks I love Pampers
Size 3 Cruisers. My son is in the sometime crawling- sometimes walking stage. He's so active that sometimes his diapers leak. Yuck.
I love the Swaddlers! I'm one the pampers website weekly!
Pampers Cruisers Size 4 are the diapers for us. I have also tried others and experienced leakage--not good! Pampers Cruisers rock!
swaddlers are my favorite for my 5 month old...pampers are the best!
My babies are usually larger and always seem to grow so quickly that newborn sizes never fit for very long. I would pick the Swaddlers 2-3. I would love to be entered in your giveaway.

The Swaddlers for newborns would be great for my BF who is expecting and trying to get one potty trained before the new one arrives!!! Pampers are the best!!!
totally all about pampers cruisers - LOVE them!! I love knowing that I just don't have to worry about the diaper leaking everytime I turn around! I can't even remember the last time we had a blowout or a leak! thanks for the great contest!
We use cloth at home and disposables when we're out... but my 17 month old baby is starting to get more independent so I'm thinking of trying a product like Easy Ups, something she could learn to do herself. Thanks for the contest!
I would like the PAMPERS CRUISERS or SWADDLEERS!! I am adopting a baby!! Yah Me!! God help me!!! I need all the advise I can get!!! I am so excited!!!! Thanks!!!
Pampers cruisers, size 4, are the only ones for us! We, too, tried all kinds, and only the cruisers do the job. Thanks for offering this!
Pampers cruisers for sure. Probably a size 4 would be best. Thanks for the fun giveaway! :)
We like the cruisers!
We use the cruisers in size 3!
